About this deal

I love a good English pub. Not just for a drink but for the inspiration and experience. If a pub has all the right elements and designed well, it can feel like home from home– comfortable, welcoming, warm and cosy. Although my home interiors don’t look like a pub, I often take inspiration from them. If I walk into a pub and I get that warm, fuzzy feeling, I look for inspiration of how to create the same feeling at home. It can be attributed to design, paint colour, lighting, accessories or all the above. Sometimes it simply down the buzz and vibe of the people in it. I wish I’d become a pub interior designer. It’s something I feel quite passionate about. Who knows, one day…. London, a good place to start The thrill of Brazil: Rio buzzes - but there's so much more to discover in this vast and beautiful country, including its version of St Tropez Published by Prestel, the book offers a snapshot of the history of English pub culture, and explores what it is about England’s pubs that have made them transcend their status as mere buildings or watering holes and become pillars of the country’s traditions, identity, and socioeconomic fabric.

A 12-point stag taking flight by means of a pair of dainty ptarmigan wings is the sort of thing you might see as you wobble out of a remote Highland pub after a few drams too many. But that hybrid beast is the first sighting as you step into The Flying Stag at The Fife Arms hotel in Braemar. It would be difficult to exaggerate the sheer strangeness of this weird creature – a brilliantly executed artwork by James Prosek, suspended in front of the bar – or the feeling of delight to which it gives rise. The Fife Arms was, for me, the most exciting opening of last year, not so much a hotel as a wunderkammer with mattresses. Its owners, the Swiss gallerists Manuela and Iwan Wirth, have gone to great lengths to ensure that it remains a place for locals as well as high-rolling visitors, and in this respect The Flying Stag has an important role to play.

[60] The start of the Pennine Way, just outside the village of Edale, is only a short train journey from Manchester or Sheffield, but feels much further, offering a deep country atmosphere without too much effort.
