Paws Under the Table40 dog-friendly pubs and walks from Oxford to the Cotswoldsby Helen PeacockeIllustrated by Sue MynallThis
book describes 40 of the best pubs across a beautiful stretch of the
country from Oxford into Wychwood and the Cotswolds, where Helen and
her companions (both human and canine) have found good beer, good food, a welcome for her dog,
and fine walking.
To
give the book an original and amusing twist, Helen has written it in
two voices: hers and the dog's. After all, people and dogs see pubs and
walks from entirely different points of view...
Helen Peacocke is a trained chef, a food writer for the Oxford Times and
an award-winning beer writer who boasts that she has visited and
reviewed virtually every pub in Oxfordshire and many beyond. Her
beloved border collie, Pythius-Peacocke, accompanies her on many of these
visits, which always include a dog walk and (usually) a delicious pub
lunch, which is why he is so well qualified to add his comments to the
book. Together they have assembled forty of their best pub-lunch-and-a-walk experiences for this book. Oxfordshire
artist Sue Mynall has illustrated the book with delightful and witty
drawings of Pythius, and the walks are also illustrated with many of
Helen's own photographs. Go to 'Attachments' below for a free download of the pub walks in Charlbury and Chadlington."A real winner" – The Witney Gazette£9.99 paperback, 142pp paperback, with numerous photographs and drawings. 978-1-902279-35-0 The Wychwood Press, 2009 |
