He purchased the building on North Street from Ted Blanchard (it was formerly Radio Shack and Blanchard Pools) and just about two months ago started extensive renovations.

Special attention was given to the menu which features a wide variety of pub fare, including traditional favourites like "English Fry Up" and "Bangers and Mash." Over the supper hour, there will be daily specials like stuffed chicken and prime rib. Home made pies are a staple on the dessert menu. One distinctive feature is the bar, crafted from oak cut from trees on the Chetwynn property near Uxbridge. And behind the bar, patrons will find a choice of 12 drafts, including four imported --- Guiness, Bass, Double Diamond and Smithwick's which is proving very popular to the Canadian palate. No English pub would be complete without a dart board. Two will be set up in the Derbyshire and Peter hopes that a league team can be established. Though his parents operated a pub in England when he was a youngster, Peter says opening his own was not necessarily a life long dream.
