Petroyle Restorations and The Farmer's DogMember event

Petroyle are a vintage & classic car specialist located in the Cotswolds. Their award winning team of technicians provide a range of services from body restorations, engine rebuilds, ash frame fabrication and every other aspect of maintaining or restoring a classic vehicle.  They currently have four unrestored Porsche 356s in stock, just waiting for their next owner to kick off the restoration that will bring them to their former glory.

After Petroyle, we’ll move on to visit Jeremy Clarkson’s pub, The Farmer’s Dog in Burford.  His aim was to create a ‘proper’ English pub and to that end he sought to ensure everything consumed was grown or reared by British farmers.  However, as Jeremy says, he’s failed.  While all the meat and pretty much everything else is British, there’s a problem with G&Ts.  You can’t have a pub that doesn’t offer a gin and tonic. But there is quinine in tonic water, and you can’t grow that in Britain. Sure, he could have served gin and water instead, but you probably wouldn’t enjoy it very much. Especially as, instead of a slice of lemon, you’d have been given a slice of turnip, or some potato peelings.  Should be interesting.
