Country pub

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A country pub is a rural public house. The term typically applies to drinking establishments in England, but the term is also found in many other countries with strong connections to England (such as Wales, Australia, New Zealand, and the Republic of Ireland). There is a distinctive rural culture surrounding country pubs, many of which function as social centres for a village or surrounding region. Many country pubs are village pubs associated with a single village. Others are inns that used to serve travellers in the period before motor transport. Some country pubs are centuries old.
