A proper pub, still doing it properly.<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Real ale, a kitchen that closes when it says it will, and a fire that’s been lit every winter night for two hundred years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

THE BUILDING<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Licensed in 1886, and the fire has never gone out.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Thistlewood has been a pub for well over a century, on the same plot next to the church, through several landlords and at least one rebuild after a chimney fire in the 1920s. The fireplace itself survived that fire and has been lit every winter night since anyone currently working here can remember.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

None of that is a gimmick. It’s just what happens when a building stays a pub for well over a century. The beams are original, the cellar is the original cellar, and the kitchen closing on time is a rule that predates the current staff by decades.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
