When is a micro pub not a micro pub? Or should I re-define the question and say how far can a pub deviate from the micro pub association definition and still […]
The William Henry, Weymouth
It’s a double carpet this one! And I don’t mean a 33/1 shot, neither. No, it’s a genuine two carpet Wetherspoon’s. There don’t seem to be many about. The Plough & Harrow […]
The Swan, Weymouth
