Inn Good Company with Charlie Baker

Please join Olivia Paterson, curator of our very own Art Collection and Charlie Baker, founder and editor of award-winning magazine The Fence, for the next instalment of the Inn Good Company Series about the The Fence’s latest publication, ‘The Pub: Wit, wisdom & weirdness on Britain’s best-loved establishments.’

This isn’t just a book full of Britain’s best pubs. Rather, this is a book that is as much for the pub as about the pub – a collection of ale-sodden stories from every corner of the UK, from the country’s classiest pub urinals, to the Wetherspoons inside a service station just off the M40. With tales and trivia from Lanarkshire to the Lizard, this is a love letter to the great British pub, in all its faded and eccentric glory. Compiled by The Fence, contributors include Tom Parker Bowles, Charlotte Ivers, William Hanson, Jimmy Mcintosh, John Banville and Katy Hessel.

Founded in 2019, The Fence is a quarterly print magazine offering a blend of investigations, features, short stories and fiction, always threaded through with a wry humour and playful touch. Over the last four years, they have established themselves as one of Britain’s most exciting publications. Stocked across the country in WH Smith, and routinely among bestselling magazines in boutiques such as MagCulture, Good News, and the LRB Bookshop, they have been perfectly described by former Vanity Fair Editor-in-Chief Graydon Carter as “the illegitimate offspring of Private Eye and Evelyn Waugh.”
