pub grub
Tavern meal fare
Pub grub is food served at pubs—typically hearty, unpretentious fare like fish and chips, shepherd's pie, or bangers and mash.
The term is British in origin but has spread with the gastropub trend.
It suggests casual, filling meals rather than fine dining: We stopped for pub grub on the way home.
