The Moon Under Water

The Moon Under Water is as much about pub mystery and desire as it is celebrating the drinks that we so enjoy, and this week’s guest is a master of celebrating the beauty of pubs, ale and imbibing. It’s podcaster and winner of the coveted British Beer Writer of the Year Award… Emma Inch! There aren’t many people better at evoking the magic of pubs as Emma, and there probably aren’t many better bee...

Where does one even begin when trying to describe this weeks guest? Legend? Sure. Genius? Of course. Avid Pintsman? You bet. But who could it be? Well, anyone would recognise his bebeanied silhouette as it makes its way towards The Moon Under Water. It’s comedian, actor and the man who  definitely  didn’t make the vaccine all on his own… it’s only bloody Alistair Green!  Alistair is...

Reeves, Coren Mitchell, Beckham, Derbyshire, VapoRub. Whilst there are many famous Vick’s out there, none of them have yet to grace The Moon Under Water. But thankfully that’s all about to change, as we invite radio and television presenter Vick Hope to create her own ‘pub of the mind’. Vick has been lucky enough to live in not one but TWO of the great tavern towns. Add that to her experiences on...

If you head south of the River Thames you will find some of the most legendary pub zones around: Sydenham, Anerley, Mottingham, Chislehurst. And nobody is more experience in sub-Thames pubbing than actor, writer, comedian and Taskmaster champion Kerry Godliman.  When creating her dream alehouse Kerry really employed a scattergun approach. She was living in the moment, not spending hours upon...

Where do we begin when describing this week's guest? He’s a radio presenter, writer, filmmaker, comedian, actor, cult leader… the list goes on. But perhaps the best way of getting to know Danny Wallace is by inviting him to discuss his pub memories, desires and dreams whilst hunched over a pint at The Moon Under Water. Danny knows how to paint a picture with words, and in creating his dream alehou...

There’s only one thing about a pub that is more important than the drinks that line it, and that’s the conversations that take place within it. And this week at The Moon Under Water the conversation flowed like the rivers of Babylon as Landlord John Robins welcomed comedian, writer and top-class conversationalist Sarah Millican through his doors. Not only did Sarah choose the 7 drinks that will po...

When George Orwell wrote ‘The Moon Under Water' he probably didn't imagine that the pub he so desired would go on to become the meeting place of two commercial digital indie radio titans. Well it has, because the shadowy figure that is approaching its doors looks suspiciously like commercial digital indie radio presenter Dave Berry. John, Dave and the lovely Robin hunker down around a table at The...

To quote Samuel Johnson:  “There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern” . And whilst we agree with what Sam was saying, we think that listening to comedian and writer Suzi Ruffell create her dream pub will bring you even more happiness than the tavern he kept banging on about.  As she's poured a pint by Landlord John Ro...

It's been quite the week! Not only did beer gardens make a triumphant return into many of our lives, but The Moon Under Water opened its doors for the first time. It's a place where guests are invited to create their dream pub (so long as their choices fit the rigorous criteria set by Landlord John Robins). The next guest who will be swimming in pub desire is starting to approach the bar, and as t...

Welcome to The Moon Under Water, a mystical pub of the mind where Landlord John Robins and regular Robin Allender invite guests to create their dream watering hole.  But what’s that noise? Who goes there? It sounds like our first guest is approaching. And as the silhouette reaches ever closer, it reveals itself to be… comedian, broadcaster and experienced pintsman Nish Kumar! After pulling up...
