Show more >> Tom Kerridge: Secrets of the Pub Kitchen is a charming addition to the world of food documentaries, but it doesn’t quite hit the high notes it aims for. While Kerridge's enthusiasm for cooking is infectious, the film sometimes feels more like a promotional tool for his brand than an in-depth exploration of British pub food. The recipes are appealing, and the cinematography captures the essence of the dishes beautifully, but there are moments that drag, leaving viewers wanting more substance. If you’re a fan of Kerridge, you’ll likely enjoy his warm approach and the mouth-watering visuals. However, those seeking a deeper dive into culinary techniques or history may find it lacking. It's a pleasant watch, but perhaps not as groundbreaking as one might hope. Show less
