Game 1: Spend 2 minutes coming up with fake pub names (or cafes). List as many as you can.

Game 2: Pick the one you like the most.

Game 3: For 8 minutes, imagine you’re sitting in that pub or cafe. Write a poem with, as poet Tim Clare would say, “crunchy specificity”. Describe the place with great detail. What’s happening there? Who’s having a drink? Is anyone eating? Etc.
