The Pub

The perfect pub in book form - jokes, pub bingo, tall tales, the best pubs, the worst pubs and everything in between. Britain is famed, above all else, for two things- a great literary tradition, and truly superb pubs. It should naturally follow that there are lots of great books about pubs, right? Wrong. Now, we are correcting that with this miscellany of the fascinating, the quirky, the exciting, the novel and the downright odd that you will want to sit down with a pint and dive in. Here you'll find stories, quirks, essays, deep-dives, listicles and more - everything but the pint - for you to immerse yourself in the wonderful, weird, funny and witty history of British pubs. Collected by The Fence, with contributions from the brilliant Tom Parker Bowles, John Banville, R isin Lanigan, Clive Martin, Katy Hessel and many more.
