Many of you will know of Kent as "The Garden of England", but what many of you won't know is that many years ago Kent was known by a different nickname: "The Beer Garden of England". This was due to its unusually large number of public benches, upon which each year millions of ramblers would rest their weary legs and treat themselves to a bottle of lager (or a pint of bitter should the necessary f...

There’s just about one more week to go until Dry January is over for may of you, so Landlord John and Robin are here to help power you through to that first glistening pint.  In this week’s episode there’s an epic pub crawl tale, a discussion around London’s oldest pub and a story about a very generous barkeep.

"As we head into tea time here at The Moon Under Water it's safe to say that John and Robin have formed a formidable partnership - John is currently on 78 not out (that's peanuts, not runs) and Robin the nightwatchman has steadied the ship by producing a lovely innings of 56, featuring a total of four boundaries and six yards of ale". No doubt any cricket fans amongst you would have read the above...

Legendary. Heroic. Majestical. A Thesaurus can certainly help us describe our next guest at The Moon Under Water, but it'll never quite be able to capture exactly who he is. He's the sort of man that is often seen as the perfect pub guest, and someone that is almost perfectly suited to join us in the Correct Realm. We can't quite believe he's finally here... it's the one and only Barry Glendenning...

Oh to be sitting in front of a roaring fire at your favourite pub. Book in one hand, pint in the other... is there any better feeling? It's almost impossible to capture the sheer perfection of such a moment in print. However, a handful of writers have been able to bring moments like that to life, and this week's guest is one of the finest novelists the Other Realm has ever produced. It's the incre...

For many of us the pub is a place where friendships are created and strengthened, with the humble pint serving as the perfect canvas for a conversation about all manner of topics. But what if those conversations lead to something a bit more, and a kiss ends up being on the cards? Well, in the past one thing might have led to another and you might end up with a snog... but when was the last time an...

We've all seen the familiar sight of a tray of sandwiches resting on the bar, wrapped up snugly in cling film, waiting to be devoured by anyone who seeks nourishment. But have you ever thought to yourself "Hmm, I wonder what sort of sandwich would be on the bar of a pub in 1856?"
