A pub from classic comedy show Only Fools and Horses has been recreated - and fans can visit for a pint!

Show star Gwyneth Strong, who played Cassandra – Rodney’s wife – opened the recreation of the iconic Nags Head pub today to mark the 40th anniversary of the much-loved sitcom.

She was joined by Philip Pope, who played Tony Angelino on the show, and Andree Bernard, who played barmaid Nervous Nerys.

Comedy TV channel Gold are behind the pop-up pub, which opens to the public from today for three days only. The Nags Head has been lovingly recreated to be true to the series, from the striped wallpaper and chequered floor down to the framed pictures, stuffed rabbit, horse bronzes and trinkets which adorned Del and Rodney’s local boozer.
