The Pub bar serves our patrons who sit in the first-come first-serve pub room. The pub room uses a smaller menu for quicker bites but, don't be intimidated to ask for a full menu.
We spotted a cute cat in an upstairs window of the Park Tavern pub in the city centre shopping area! Don't jump!!
... Construite en 1834 par Robert Conroy, l’hôtel British étant ainsi l’un des plus anciens bâtiments historiques de la ville dans la grande région de Gatineau... L’architecture est réfléchie. Les murs de plus d’un mètre d’épaisseur protègent efficacement contre le froid hivernal... Aujourd'hui, elle a intelligemment été restaurée et devenue des endroits les plus fréquentés... Un incontournable sur la rue Principale ... et ça ... quelque soit l'activité, l'événement privé ou public...

" Pub British " ... Built in 1834 by Robert Conroy, the British Hotel is one of the oldest historic buildings in the city of Gatineau. The architecture is thoughtful. Walls more than a meter thick effectively protect against the cold winter ... Today, it has cleverly renovated and become one of the most frequented places ... A must on Main Street ... and that ... whatever the activity, private or public event ...

An obscurely located pub at Walton-on-the-Hill, Surrey. Formerly owned by big brewers Charringtons, it remains in the form they rebuilt it to in the 1950's.
Not a typical British pub i would say...but a British pub, all the same.
Striking green tiling as a contrast to the bright red door.
Pubs have been closing at an alarming rate over the past few years so it is nice to see a "local" still going strong.
Some pub games on offer and It seems to show live sport on TV, too.

warmth, coziness - have a hot beverage, a mulled wine perhaps or a cider - spring is around the corner
Delightfully old and attractive 'The Cricketer's' pub at Berwick village in East Sussex.
I didn't mind it being overcast, as it prevented any harsh shadows in my photo, which would have occured if the sun had been shining during my lunchtime visit.
The Pub Restaurant roadside sign tower. I remember when the top portion would rotate and the vertical letters were neon, lighting individually then flashing all together with neon action. The top portion looks like it is still neon.

I will always remember standing out like a saw thumb when I turned up in a pub in fishnets and high heels.
This is my "more appropriate" pub wear.
the Coach and Horses pub in Gloucester does its bit to celebrate the 2015 Rugby World Cup, which included some games staged at the nearby Kingsholm Stadium. One game commemorates the Scotland v Japan game which Scotland won 45-10.
The Tap House.
For the main course I had Succulent Roast Beef served with Yorkshire Pudding, roast potatoes, roasted root vegetables, butter glazed sprouts with pancetta, sage, onion and sausage meat stuffing and homemade dripping gravy.
Another pint of Butty Bach.

There is no shortage of pleasant drinking establishments in Harpenden. To visit them all in one day would indeed be a `staggering feat (feet ?)`.
Nobby, Darling Downs, Queensland.
Extract from the Hotels internet History Page.
Rudd’s Pub was built in 1893 and was originally called the “Davenporter” Hotel. The name was changed to Rudd’s Pub in the 1980’s in recognition of the author Steele Rudd.
The hotel itself is unique and still retains the character and charm of a hotel from a bygone era. The walls tell a photographic story of days gone by and memorabilia covers the walls and ceilings. Farming implements from long ago, tools that your grandfather may have used, bottles, kitchen utensils, books and many other interesting items too numerous to mention. Tourists have likened it to eating in a museum.
Steele Rudd (real name Arthur Hoey Davis) lived in Nobby for a period of time and folklore says he used to sit in front of the fireplace in our heritage room and pen some of his Dad and Dave” stories.
Nobby is also the home of Sister Elizabeth Kenny who pioneered the treatment of infantile paralysis (polio). The hotel has a wall devoted to her wonderful work and she is buried in the Nobby Cemetery.
You can find detailed histories of Steele Rudd, his Dad and Dave characters and Sister Kenny on the internet of course.

Royal Standard of England, Englands oldest freehouse:
In Roman Britain, Rome encouraged the Saxon ex-legionaries to settle here in the Chilterns Catuvellauni Kingdom. Families were granted land on which to build and remnants of Iron Age hill forts can be seen near Gerrards Cross and West Wycombe. The Romans started a brick and tile kiln industry in this area, which lasted for around 1400 years. Roman power had ended by 410AD and many more settlers came from Northern Europe - mostly German tribes, Angles, Jutes and Saxons. Taking a walk in the footpaths across the road towards Lude Farm you will see remains of tiles in the soil from an old Roman brick kiln. The heavily wooded Chilterns became an area of resistance by Romano-Celtic Britons tribes that were pushed off their lands by these new settlers. The Saxons were huge ale drinkers coming from lands rich in barley. King Alfred of Wessex had a deer park here and the West Saxons brewed ale here on this site because they had a good supply of water from the old Romano-British well in the garden. The Saxon alewife (the brewer was nearly always a woman) would put a green bush up on a pole to let the locals know the ale was ready. The Brewster’s cottage became the alehouse because it was used as the meeting house for cottagers and tile-makers in the hamlet, who farmed and worked communally by sharing the open fields and woods. Here they could resolve any disputes, barter and make a toast to the goddess of barley. To drink water until 1900’s was to risk your life. Beer was the safest drink -We think it still is!
England consisted of a mix of Anglo-Saxons and Celtic Britons over the next five centuries who eventually united when faced with the threat of Viking invaders. In 1009 and 1010 the last Viking raids took place, they arrived by their longboats along the river Thames at Hedsor Wharf. Here, there was an old Saxon palisade fort where the old Roman bridge crossed the Thames on the Camlet Way. Our Saxon alehouse survived the raids of the Dark Ages because of its secluded location just out of reach of the Thames. The alehouse kept its independence as a Freehouse and avoided being incorporated in the large Lude Estate across the road from the pub, which then belonged to the old Wessex family - the Godwines. Earl Harold Godwine became King Harold II who fell at the Battle of Hastings. The first Royal Standard of England banner was a gold dragon – the same symbol was used as the war banner of the royal house of Wessex. The Norman Conquest was a military expedition without settlers, so life for the alehouse did not change from 1066 (Despite the fact that the Norman rulers thought the Anglo-Saxons drank too much ale!). The alehouse was one of the few places that people could be free of the burden of their new feudal rulers.
