Visit the spiritual home of Yeast Logic

As satirists, we are often asked "where do you get your inspiration?" A good question, and one which deserves a full and candid answer.

There is a common belief among ordinary people that satire is a deadly serious business, requiring long hours of earnest study and quiet contemplation. But although the traditional view of the satirist as a sober fellow, grimly venting his or her cynical spleen on an uncaring world is not unattractive, nothing could be further from the truth.

For true satire is like the tropical orchid — it requires carefully-controlled climatic conditions, exotic soil in which to spread its roots and, most importantly, a chemically-complex liquid feed.

Yup, you guessed it: It's the pub where The Rockall Times sows its lonely meadow of merriment. And for those of you who aspire to follow the path of Yeast Logic, there is no better place to begin than its spiritual home — The Waggon & Horses, Mistley, Essex.

Skillfully balancing the delights of the traditional country hostelry with state-of-the-art gaming technology, landspersons Sue, Marie and Terry and guarantee you a warm welcome and relaxed family atmosphere as you sample the pub's range of home-grown and international beverages.

Other attractions include:

• Pickled eggs
• Pool table
• Dominoes
• House "Doubles" at attractive prices
• Fruit machine
• A selection of Essex's finest barmaids
• Free DIY advice from the pub's resident team of builders
• Separate men's and women's toilets
