We're going and doing - yet again!
.. and thanks again to everyone who supported us. The
demise of the Great British Pub is well reported but a tad previous - go
to any of the houses below* and we guarantee a warm welcome, good beer and
on occasion some rather excellent dining.
(*parties excepted - and you'll have to join the
Stansted Club first, but it's worth it!!)
