'The literary equivalent of a great session.' Felicity Cloake

'A brilliant hymn to the holy sainted pub' Marina O'Loughlin

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?

This isnt just a book full of Britains 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 countrys classiest pub urinals, to the Wetherspoons inside a service station just off the M40.

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.

Compiled by The Fence, contributors include Tom Parker Bowles, Charlotte Ivers, William Hanson, Jimmy Mcintosh, John Banville and Katy Hessel.

Arvustused

The literary equivalent of a great session, combining salty reviews, fruity little stories and long refreshing features, this is one to settle into the snug with for the afternoon; who needs conversation when you have John Banville in the palm of your hand? -- Felicity Cloake 'A brilliant hymn to the holy sainted pub.' -- Marina O'Loughlin 'In its good-natured eclecticism, The Pub winks at all of us pub-lovers, full of the promise of fun. -- John Mitchinson * The Idler * 'The Pub is exactly the sort of irreverent, indispensable guide the modern pubgoer needs. Personally, I never leave the house without a copy.' -- Matthew Curtis * Pellicle magazine *

Founded in 2019, The Fence is a quarterly print magazine offering a blend of investigations, features, short stories and fiction, always threaded through with a wry humour and playful touch. Over the last four years, they have established themselves as one of Britains most exciting publications. Stocked across the country in WH Smith, and routinely among bestselling magazines in boutiques such as MagCulture, Good News, and the LRB Bookshop, they have been perfectly described by former Vanity Fair Editor-in-Chief Graydon Carter as the illegitimate offspring of Private Eye and Evelyn Waugh.
