I'm sure it's very nice, but the existence of such a thing on a pub's menu means that place has ceased in all meaningful senses to be a pub.

In fact in the 19th century, eating dinner in pubs was commonplace amongst the non-kitchen-owning classes. Probably not prosciutto wrapped halibut with cauliflower puree though. Cauliflower cheese, perhaps. :cloud9:
