A pub snack is a scotch egg, a sausage roll, a small beef pie, a pint of prawns. It is a native oyster covered in Tabasco, a bowl of steaming mussels and a sausage on a stick waiting impatiently for mustard. A pub snack is also a school of deep-fried whitebait doused freely in lemon and a newly greased up plate of Welsh rarebit blistered softly by the grill.
A pub snack is a means by which to continue drinking, London’s most popular pastime. No hazy afternoon, no darkening evening is better spent than with pints and small morsels singing mostly of pork and the dayboat sea.
