Pub-style recipes and game-day eats
Pub food, worked out in a home kitchen
Wings, burgers, shared platters and the menus that hold a party together — written down the way they actually get cooked, for a regular oven and a full room.
Game day
Menus that feed a crowd
Platters, sides and timings set out so most of it is done before anyone turns the television on.
Hosting
Something for every guest
Veggie and gluten-free versions sit inside the recipe rather than tacked on at the end.

Pub food has to survive a home kitchen
No deep-fryer required
Wings and fries are written for the oven, the skillet or the air fryer, because that is what most of us have.
Timed around the game
Every menu says what to cook ahead and what to finish once the room is already full.
Everyone eats
Milder, meat-free and gluten-free swaps are part of the method, not a footnote underneath it.
About
A pub kitchen, written down
Philthy McNastys is a cooking notebook for bar-and-grill food: the wings, the burgers, the shared platters and the party menus that go with them, kept in plain order so you can follow one on a Saturday afternoon.
It is written for home cooks who like pub food and like feeding people, and it grows as new recipes and hosting notes get tested and added.
