Jug and bottle - Small section of pub, with a separate entrance from the street, selling drink for consumption off the premises.
In the days before supermarkets it was commonplace to have a separate area where off-sales could be made. The typical Jug and Bottle had a short corridor with a hatch at the end, usually with a bench situated near the hatch to have a beer as your jug was filled to take out.
Signs of this bygone trade are still in evidence with doorways and windows bearing the terms `Jug & Bottle', `Family Department', or `Outdoor' in etched glass. _________________ https://www.facebook.com/Let-the-drink-talk-675586225966432/ |
