POPPING out for a pint proved lucky for one visitor to a Harrow on the Hill pub when he scooped a quintessential London day out in a prize draw.

The White Horse in Middle Road sold the winning pint of Fuller's brewery's ESB ale to customer

Neil Proud which meant he and his partner, Pauline, got to be a chauffeured around the city before Neil was fitted for a suit from a Savile Row tailor and bagged a pair of English brogues.

Neil said: "I couldn't really believe it when I heard I'd won. The whole experience was just amazing and

Pauline and I had such a terrific day.

"Of course I'm very grateful to landlord Alan at The White Horse for getting me to fill in the form in the first place!"
