At the end of the display of arrow-throwing he got a round of applause, and one of the spectators made the prince laugh when he quipped “What are you doing Monday night, sir?”
John Longden launched the not-for-profit initiative The Pub Is The Hub in 2001 following an idea from the prince that rural pubs might be able to provide vital local services for their communities.
It encourages locals, licensees, pub owners, breweries and the private sector to work together to match community priority needs with additional services which can be provided by the pubs.
During the visit Charles also tried a half pint of Guinness and after taking a taste said there was something “rather marvellous” about the drink.
When Mr Longden ushered the prince behind the bar he pulled a pint of a pale ale called Mosaic by Arbor Ales describing it as “excellent” after smelling it and taking a few sips.
