Assemble Muttonistas! Settling in at the bar today is someone who really knows how to live life. Namely, travelling the world like a Burnage Bourdain documenting gastronomic adventures and football away days. An absolute font of knowledge with a voice that laps into the ears like the subtley chocolatey stouts he espouses so much about. It's Primemu…

Given his status in the poetry world, when thinking up the words to describe this week's guest at The Moon Under Water it would be very easy to put pen-to-paper and attempt to write a verse about him.

Landlord Robbie and his most dedicated regular Dan are constantly tending to the fixtures and fittings at The Moon Under Water, purely because they know that a guest could walk into the Correct Realm at any given time.
