Tynemill is a British pub chain based in the East Midlands and Yorkshire.
 It was founded in 1977 by former Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) chairman Chris Holmes.
 Their first pub was the "Old King Arms" in Newark.
 Tynemill has won the "Pub Group of the Year" award in 2002, 2006, and 2008.
A Büchner flask, also known as a vacuum flask, filter flask, suction flask, side-arm flask or Kitasato flask, is a thick-walled Erlenmeyer flask with a short glass tube and hose barb protruding about an inch from its neck.
 The short tube and hose barb effectively act as an adapter over which the end of a thick-walled flexible hose (tubing) can be fitted to form a connection to the flask.
 The other end of the hose can be connected to source of vacuum such as an aspirator, vacuum pump, or house vacuum.
 Preferably this is done through a trap (see below), which is designed to prevent the sucking back of water from the aspirator into the Büchner flask.
Sizzling Pubs, also known as Sizzling Pub Company, is a British chain of pub restaurants, owned by Mitchells & Butlers (former Bass), that operates mainly as a steakhouse.

The Flask is a Grade II listed public house at 74–76 Highgate West Hill, Highgate, London.
 According to the 1936 "Survey of London", a pub known as The Flask has stood on this spot since "at least as early as 1663".
 The present buildings probably date from the early 18th century, and were partially rebuilt in about 1767 by William Carpenter.
 A Manorial court met there in the eighteenth century.
 The Flask is currently owned and operated by the London-based Fuller's Brewery.

A pub chain is a group of pubs or bars with a brand image.
 The brand may be owned outright by one company, or there may be multiple financiers; the chain may be a division within a larger company, or may be a single operation.
 Examples include Chef & Brewer, Wetherspoons, Walkabout, Taylor Walker Pubs and All Bar One.
 Pubs in the chain are typically branded with the same name, however the former "Firkin" pubs tended to be variations on a theme including the word Firkin in the title.
 Wetherspoons pubs have individual names, with the Wetherspoons brand prominently displayed.
