Our resident chef Vinnie, has shared another of his mouthwatering recipes below, and this one is Beer Braised Brisket.

Chefs Tips

If you want to make the meal go further then add sliced peppers or mushrooms around 1hr before the end of the cooking

You can serve with new potatoes and seasonal veg or a wonderful cheese mash on the side!
