The Bathurst Arms

Here’s a story that made us laugh while we were eavesdropping in the Bathurst Arms, near Cirencester, where we held one of our Pub Socials.

The pub has just been awarded 2008 GOOD PUB GUIDE Gloucestershire Dining Pub of the Year and whilst we were there all the regulars were congratulating James, the landlord. It was then that we overheard him explaining how he had been expelled from school, predominantly for spending too much time in the pub, and that he’d just sent an article about him winning the award to his old housemaster pointing out that all his ‘research’ had actually got him where he is today. Brilliant!
