Summary

The Desi Pub began as a story of resistance. First established in the 1960s to break the racist colour bar, which saw many non-white customers refused service, they have since evolved into a modern-day celebration of multiculturalism.

Desi Pubs by David Jesudason

In this new book, the first of its kind, award-winning British-Asian journalist and beer writer David Jesudason travels the length and breadth of the country, visiting over 200 'desi pubs' run by British-Indian landlords who have stamped their unique identity on a beloved institution and helped to challenge our preconceptions of the pub customer: from rowdy cricket fans to vibrant bhangra nights via football supporters enjoying pre-match mixed grills and beers. Desi Pubs will take you on a journey to parts of Britain that are seldom visited. This is a celebration of 2023 Britain and the forgotten people who created our modern multicultural country.
David Jesudason is a British-Asian freelance journalist who covers race issues for Pellicle, Vittles and BBC Culture. David also writes about music, comedy and film for the Guardian and has a free weekly cultural email, Episodes of My Life.
