06 February 2017
When the opening lines of a blog relating to one of our beloved Donnington pubs reads as above - and below:
'Some of the names in this article have been changed to protect the innocent, and the not so innocent. And me, should I ever return to the village of Great Barrington, Gloucestershire.'
It does get your attention!
But, thankfully, after proper inspection it's one of the funniest things we've ever read!





Please click on the link below for a quite hilarious insight in to running a country pub for a weekend. An experience that author Andrew Dickens & Paul Porter, landlord of The Fox Inn, Great Barrington, will probably never forget!
