The Baron of Mutton

This tavern is the one frequented by most town people, and it has accommodation for up to 30 guests at any one time. Guests here have a choice of "Living Well" or "Roughing It". Roughing it means sleeping in a 12-bed common room, possibly shared with the barge workers who come with their merchant masters to Milborne and are not averse to the odd spot of pilfering or to a knuckle-fight after far too many pints of ale. For those wishing to wash, there's the horse trough outside the tavern. Living Well gets you one of the five 2-person rooms and a more comfortable bed with actual sheets. All in all, it's best to cough up 9 sp per night to have one's own room, given that the bedding is clean, the windows and door locks are secure, and a hearty breakfast. For a little extra (1-2 sp, depending on how politely they ask) visitors can even get a decent bathful of hot water.
The tavern is owned by Dirkaster, a venerable legend in his own time. Half-blind and almost completely deaf, Dirkaster celebrates his ninetieth birthday in the current year. This is an age almost unheard of in the area, and the crotchety old man plays on this for all it's worth. He can still engulf a truly terrifying amount of food and ale at lunchtimes, retiring to his bed to sleep off the effects during the afternoon, only to rise in the early evening with a fresh appetite for the fray. His wife is long dead, likewise his only son, but his twin grandsons Andren and Barthelew run the place well under the old man's tyrannical gaze.
