About 15 to 20 of us meet up once a year on the first Thursday in December. Over the last 10 years we have gone to a different London Pub. This year it was the Founders Arms. Next year it will be the Founders Arms again! Why, excellent service and friendly staff, good reasonably priced food, great location and good selection of beers - what more could you want.

Perfect, as always. Great festive atmosphere, a lovely start to the Christmas season.
