Another snapshot of pub life, circa the early eighties, where 13 million pints were being pulled every day in 73,000 British pubs and regular pub goers raised £20 million, per annum, for good charitable causes. We see chefs preparing food for lunchtime customers, clips of clients talking, a charity tug-o-war contest, a three-legged race, pub games being played, live music captivating its audiences and a pub sing-a-long involving pretty much everyone.

Two out-of-work actors -- the anxious, luckless Marwood and his acerbic, alcoholic friend, Withnail -- spend their days drifting between their squalid flat, the unemployment office and the pub. When they take a holiday "by mistake" at the country house of Withnail's flamboyantly gay uncle, Monty, they encounter the unpleasant side of the English countryside: tedium, terrifying locals and torrential rain.
