An introduction to High Wycombe

The town is often known as just Wycombe. Once known as 'the furniture capital of England', furniture making played an extensive role in the towns industrial legacy. The town's market in High Street dates back to the middle ages.

Each May the town has an unusual ceremony known as Mayor Making. A tradition dating back to 1678 and the town holds a public weighing of the Mayor and the intention being to see if they have put on weight ie. to see if they are getting fat at rate payers' expense. In the interests of confidentiality the actual weight is not revealed but the gain or loss of weight is and is announced by the town crier.

}} Someone says: "There are no pubs in High Wycombe. There are some Halal restaurants that have an alcohol licence, but none of any note." It's not true! In High Wycombe is not a lot of pubs, but they are. Although and soft-drinks selection is not great and there is always to choose. In restaurants the choice really is not great, especially soft drinks.

There is a pub called The Antelope, which although rough in appearance serves only drink and is popular every night of the week. The prices are affordable but the place could be described as "the worst pub in the world".
