The party was at the newly named White & Sons Tap Room & Oyster Bar in the favoured snug bar at the front of the 18th century Chequers Inn, in Maresfield, where a robust Belfast sink has been installed to facilitate the oyster shucking. Marco is a fine ale man through and through and is particularly partial to a pint of Harvey’s.He gave out pickled eggs to guests at the event.Marco said: “In my opinion a good British pub should be a melting pot of people from every section of the community, for every occasion.“I’ve fed the rich for years and now I want to feed the people of my world.”n You can get a pickled egg in the bar for 60p.
