Hide AdIt is a family run community micropub - with room for just 59 drinkers - with brothers Dave and Andrew Williams at the helm.
There will be six beers on tomorrow, five of them from local brewers, says Dave. There will also be eight ciders, bottled German beers, plus wines and spirits to delight the first customers.
“There has been a lot of interest and some great feedback on social media, so we can’t wait to open,” Dave added.

“We are definitely no frills - there’s no jukebox or television, which attracts a more mature customer or anyone who likes their real ale.”
The Wonky Donkey will be in good company with Peterborough’s other two micropubs doing great things in the last couple of years.
