I have never really been a fan of eating and drinking together - in fact, when enjoying the 'Spoons 'Curry Club', I will often eat the curry before touching the pint. I might have a packet of crisps in the pub on occasion if the stomach needs a bit of lining - but yet again, they'll be consumed before the pint is touched.
The only accompaniment I've ever really liked is the cigarette
Agreed, but I can only handle one at a time.
For me any snacks to accompany beer have to be salty. I like scratchings but usually stick to salted nuts as they are vaguely healthy. However, my eyes still mist over when I think back to my last visit to The Shepherd's Boy, Dewsbury. It was a Sunday lunchtime and they had free platters of pork pie, scotch egg, black pudding, bread and and dripping. Guaranteed to make you thirsty!

There is a pub I know of that on a Sunday has a dislpay of free snacks to die for. Nuts are salted,dry roast or cashews. Slices of local made pork pie ( pink meat not ghastly grey its important that ) and black pudding with chunks of fat in it. Strong Garlic Salami and Choritzo and similar sliced sausages.Pickles of all sorts and little bowls of what I call "suck it and see" .Bread, Onion,sharp Cheese, Ham, Roasted Chicken Extremities, quiche, anchovies , the oddRoll Mop Herrig and un-pitted olives of various colours. Not forgetting slices of Scotch Egg or perhaps Gala Pie. There is bound to be something I have forgotten.All the food comes from local shops known for the best quality. No Co-Op pork pie here.
Am I going to name this pub ? You have to be joking, thats my Sunday lunch on that bar. The front door is locked but you do not have to give a Masonic Hand Shake if you find the back door.A Clue..... Just look for a nicotine cloud as big as a burning tyre dump.
One of my local pubs - "Jaspers" - http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/38283/ - usualy put some snacks on the bar on a Sunday dinner.
When I was in there yesterday it was Cheese and biscuits, Pork pie, Chunks of black pudding and bowls of nuts. Very tasty !
I am a salmon !!
The Fox & Goose at Hebden Bridge use to have the sausage club on a Sunday dinner with several variety,s from the local butchers on the bar to try. Very nice. Not sure if it still does it though.

I can't do pickled things with ale either - it makes your beer taste all vinegary. Pickled eggs or whelks in vinegar - no thanks
Waes hael!
I would go for a pork pie, with mustard - especially at a Bathams' pub, as mentioned by Oggy and OB, however, a nice cob is also a treat - not really into crisps, nuts and hot pots
