The ‘gastropub’ has become a common experience in England and Dominic and Molly had an idea it just might work over here. While we never could have predicted how well it would go, or how readily the locals would pitch in with quite so much good will (and dishwashing) when we needed it most, it only proved our point and makes it all the more pub-like for it being run in a sometimes haphazard, though always friendly manner.
