Michelin-starred chef, author and publican Tom Kerridge joins us At The Bar for a conversation about pubs, sobriety and the future of British hospitality.
Tom talks candidly about the drinking culture that once went hand-in-hand with his life as a chef, why he eventually stopped, and how 13 years of sobriety have changed his relationship with pubs, bars and alcohol.
We also get into why pubs remain his favourite places, food critics vs influencers, flavour over presentation, what non-alcoholic drinks often get wrong, and his campaign to give Britainās struggling hospitality businesses a fighting chance.
Thereās still time for a brand-new Pub Name Game - featuring the Crooked Badger, Nervous Turnip and several pubs that may or may not actually exist.
And because Tom no longer drinks, Jack faces a new challenge: our first-ever non-alcoholic Dream Drink.
Using Assam tea, strawberry, blackened kale, malt vinegar and Cotswolds honey, he creates a complex food-pairing serve designed to drink alongside British cheese.
A wide-ranging conversation with one of the biggest names in British hospitality - about the places we eat and drink, the people who keep them going, and why pubs still matter.
Hosted by Matty Whiteand Jon Almond, with resident bartender Jack Sotti.
