There is nothing like a trip to the Pub, a meeting place for friends, a time to catch up, a time to share memories and enjoy a natter over a pint. Over the years pubs have changed, the food, the ambience, the themes and brews have all moved at a far greater pace than the traditions of real ale, a glass of wine and comfort.
