A lovely compliment to the Gaslight Pubs, the Partridge and Pear was inspired by the restaurant at Christmas Place in Pigeon Forge. Tudor detailing makes it just as at home in London. Decal artwork inspired by the actual Partridge & Pear logo, and slogan “Good Food and Holiday Cheer!”

Beer is the oldest fermented beverage known and has been made the world over for millennia. For centuries it was not safe to drink water in developed areas and so beer, wine, mead and the like were drunk by all at each meal. This would have been true of the poor and wealthy alike. It is said that Queen Elizabeth l liked ale for breakfast accompanied by eggs and mushrooms with sugar. The poor didn't have sugar but they had alcoholic beverages by the score. In 1830 The Beerhouse Act was installed to regulate all producers. By 1841 there were over 45,000 licensed brewers in the country; some large, some small. Chiswick would have been a neighborhood beer maker serving the public houses nearby. Chiswick is the area of London and home to one of England’s largest and oldest brewery, Fuller’s Griffin Brewery, producing some of the best known and respected brands of Britian.

About Devon Brook Span Cottage
In Britain there is a centuries old tradition of building small dwellings on or near bridges as a means of collecting a toll. If a bridge were large enough, a tax would be levied to all those sailing beneath as well as those passing on top. Of course, the most famous, occupied bridge in the country was London Bridge which existed for centuries. Not only was the bridge a source of revenue to the city of London, it was wide enough to be a bustling street which boasted hundreds of dwellings and businesses. At one time or another, some of the most respected jewelers, hat makers and goldsmiths resided there. Our little Brook Span Cottage is a more modest abode, long since dropping its toll above the meandering river Exe.
