Free house----pub?
What is the difference?

[jonathan.oakley]

A free house is basically a pub that is not controlled by a brewery
and so is free to sell different brands of beer.

Public Houses (abbr. to 'Pubs') were intorduced by the Romans in
Britain over 2,000 years ago. Then known as taverns ("tabernae")
they were usually constructed by the sides of roads and also
provided accomodation and food in addition to drink.

The Romans are also behind the traditional British Pub sign - Roman
Britian Pubs had a sign with vine leaves to indicate their trade. :)
