‘The Perfect Pub’
NZPA-Reuter London A 300-year-old stone-built tavern with bare light bulbs, faded carpets, sniokestained walls, and paintflaked beams has been named Britain’s “Perfect Pub.” Owners of the Yew Tree public house at Cauldon, on the North Staffordshire moors in central England, say it has not been decorated for 25 years and the
cobwebs are genuine. However, they do admit to having put in central heating 12 years ago. “The Good Pub Guide,” a yearly listing for serious drinkers, said of the Yew Tree: “It couldn’t be improved upon.” The 1984 award was shared with another tavern, the White Horse, near Petersfield, in south England.
