Ever watch Harry Potter and wonder what it would feel like to sit in the Leaky Cauldron? This is it. The Fighting Cocks is so old that it’s been mentioned in the Domesday Book. Yes, that book—the one William the Conqueror commissioned in 1086. Beat that for a pub trivia night.
Here’s a pro tip: don’t ask the bartender for a “pint of lager” without being specific. You’ll get a raised eyebrow and a choice of three. Instead, say, “I’ll have what he’s having,” and nod toward the oldest man at the bar. Instant local credibility. And for heaven’s sake, don’t call it a “British pub.” It’s an English inn, thank you very much.
