These places are to the Englishman a bizarre concept. We're talking about a delicatessen and bar combined.
The walls adorned above head height with whole cured legs of ham, some so old as to be near mummification
in appearance. Not a refrigerator in sight, oh and you can smoke in there as well.
In short a place that must surely flout every E.C. food and health directive in existence,,,,,,,, brilliant!!
