A cosy warm fire and beautiful comfortable surroundings are welcome any time, but even more so now the weather is still a bit chilly and the early nights are dark.
And, for me, it seems just way nicer if the venue is a traditional old-school pub rather than a generic chain pub – there’s just something more charming about the place
Fortunately MK – and the wider area – is place with plenty of classic ‘old-school’ pubs.
There are classics from every era, from the 16th Century through to the 1930s. There’s even one establishment that served it’s first drinks all the way back in 1593.
So join us as we take a trip down memory lane with us as we look at some of the classic old-school pubs still part of MK’s pub culture.
