Great Britain doesn’t enjoy the culinary reputation of some fellow European countries, most notably France, Italy and, increasingly nowadays, Spain.

This is quickly evident at Churchill’s Pub & Grill, a two-year-old British pub on the northwest corner of Alma School and Warner roads in Chandler.
Churchill’s menu has enough American pub grub standards — buffalo wings, burgers, steaks — to appease non-anglophiles, but the focus is on British fare, which owners Darren Hickman and Shaun Claypole (pictured below) perfected during 13 years of operating pubs in England.
