Pubs are a perfect place to start a continuous story. There is plenty of drama and opportunities to create characters within the environment of a public house. With so many people coming in and out, plus the regulars, the scope to create a setting is pretty endless. You only have to consider the events happening in Queen Victoria in EastEnders and the Rovers Return in Coronation Street or the Woolpack in Emmerdale Farm to see how it’s used as a basis. This tradition of using pubs and a popular place for stories has its roots deep within some of the classics of English literature. There are a few famous Inns that could use some Finance For Pubs like that from www.specialistbusinessfinance.co.uk/hospitality-finance/finance-for-pubs/.
- The Jamaica Inn. An actual Pub still going on Bodmin Moor Jamaica in is a novel by Daphne Du Maurier. Du Maurer actually stayed at the pub and this is what inspired her to write the novel. It’s a cracking tale of smugglers and villains running a particularly unsavoury rum smuggling and trafficking business.
- The Admiral Benbow Inn. This is the opening for Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. It’s here that Jim first encounters Billy Bones before the fateful arrival of Blind Pugh and his adventures begin.

- The Moon Under Water. Not a real Pip but a literary creation by the novelist George Orwell as to what the perfect pub should be. It sells cigarettes, aspirin and, in a strangely modern twist, has a beer garden for families.
