A British Tradition

The pub is a tradition that has developed in Great Britain over hundreds of years. Some pubs can trace their history to the Middle Ages. The traditional pub probably originated as the Village Alehouse, where a labourer's wife would brew enough beer for the whole village.

Since then, the friendliness of the local pub has flourished throughout Britain. As a matter of fact, the British prefer ales on draught in their favorite pubs. More than 75 percent of the beer sold in Britain is served on draught, and almost all of it is consumed in pubs.

Many English pubs have reverted-by popular demand-to the original practice of brewing on the premises. In these pubs, it is often possible to watch part of the brewing process while tasting beers that are unique to that particular establishment. The brewmaster has as much creative influence as the chef has over the preparation of meals. The Market Street Pub has this distinction.

The exciting variety of freshly brewed, specialty beers is only one aspect of The Market Street Pub. Just as much pride and care goes into preparing fresh sausage and specialty sandwiches. The Market Street Pub strives to provide uniqueness, quality and value in its menu offerings. Pride and care are equally reflected in the design of the Market Street Pub. Special attention has been given to detail, and many authentic features of British pubs are incorporated.

The Market Street Pub is continuing an age-old British tradition.
