Perhaps 3 or 4 months ago Pam finds an article in the travel section of the news about the growing popularity of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Desi_pub\" target=\"_blank\">Desi Pubs<\/a> in England.  Colloquially a Desi Pub is being owned and operated by people of Indian extraction.  The food is pure Punjabi but the rest of the pub is just like any other English pub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelling south we set our sights on Birmingham which has several Desi pubs. Ten minutes on Google and P4N and we have a booking at the Covered Wagon and a spot for the night on the canal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The food was spicy and the beer cold !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr
