British Beer Company Celebrates St. Georges Day, First Anniversary of Company’s Cedarville Pub

BBC thanks Cedarville patrons with entertainment, fun and free fish and chips


PLYMOUTH, Mass., April 13, 2005 – The British Beer Company (BBC), the local destination for English pub-style fun, relaxation and refreshment, today announced that it will be celebrating St. George’s Day, an English holiday that commemorates England’s patron saint, famed dragon slayer and maiden rescuer. To best celebrate this day of British culture and history, the BBC is throwing a party for patrons and neighbors at its Cedarville restaurant and pub, the highlight of which will be a massive fish fry that could be the largest ever executed on Cape Cod. The British Beer Company Cedarville restaurant and pub is located at 2294 State Road (off exit 2 on Route 3) in Cedarville. The event runs from 1:00 to 5:00 on Saturday, April 23, rain or shine under a tent.
The fish fry is sponsored by IcelandicÒ Brand Seafood, current record holder for cooking up the largest serving of fish and chips in the world, and Fuller’s beer, whose London Pride beer is a key ingredient in the British Beer’s Company’s new fish and chips batter. Icelandic Seafood will have its specially built world record capacity fryer on hand to cook up the day’s plates, which will be served FREE to anyone in attendance.
The British Beer Company is planning a full day of entertainment at the pub including an appearance by the Colum Cille Pipes and Drums of Cape Cod Bay, kids’ events such as a “moonwalk castle,” a swinging visit from International Man of Mystery, Austin Powers, and re-enactors in costume as St. George and the English King. In addition to free fish and chips served in traditional English paper cones, free ice cream will be handed out there and will be tee-shirt giveaways. Events run from 1:00 to 5:00 rain or shine – a tent will provide shelter in case of rain.

“The British Beer Company is happy to take this chance to say thank you to our customers and neighbors for a great first year in Cedarville, our newest pub and restaurant. Because we seek to create the same atmosphere of the locals common throughout the U.K., we thought that bringing the legend of St. George and the Dragon to Cedarville would be a fun way to celebrate this restaurant’s birthday,” said Gary Simon, British Beer Company partner. “We are grateful to our good friends at Icelandic Brand Seafood and Fuller’s for joining us in this celebration, and we look forward to joining our neighbors and customers over hot cones of Fuller’s London Pride fish and chips and a cold pint.”
