The beauty of an Explorer bus ticket is that you can explore. I was on my way back from Canterbury and got off the bus in the rain. Martyn was running the show tonight and there were a good collection of regulars in. Martyn wss telling me about the rapidly rising number of Micropubs and how some Regionals are moving away from wet-sales led pubs in response. Great pub the Butchers!
