The Pub

<b>'The literary equivalent of a great session.' Felicity Cloake</b><p><b>'A brilliant hymn to the holy sainted pub' Marina O'Loughlin</b></p><p><b>Would Queen Victoria have been good value over a pint? Where can you find the most northerly pub in the UK? What is good pub etiquette and do you follow it?</b></p><p>This isn’t just a book full of Britain’s best pubs, although rest assured, we have plenty of them. Rather, this is a book that is as much for the pub as about the pub – a collection of ale-sodden stories from every corner of the UK, from the country’s classiest pub urinals, to the Wetherspoons inside a service station just off the M40.</p><p>With tales and trivia from Lanarkshire to the Lizard, this is a love letter to the great British pub, in all its faded and eccentric glory.</p><p>Compiled by <i>The Fence</i>, contributors include Tom Parker Bowles, Charlotte Ivers, William Hanson, Jimmy Mcintosh, John Banville and Katy Hessel.</p>
