A couple from Wales have spoken about their garden shed being licensed as the smallest pub in the world.

Stefan and Penny Samociuk, from the small village of Llanarth, own the Pen-Lon Cottage Brewery.

They told the Daily Express that their village is visited by lots of tourists over the summer months, many of whom come to the couple's shed to try one of their 12 different home-brewed beers.

"We call the shed the Five Jacks because at the time we got our licence a few years ago we had five Jack Russell dogs," Mr Samociuk told the newspaper.

The couple produce 8,000 bottles of home-brewed beer a month, all of which are conditioned real ales.

These are not only sold in their shed, but through farm shops, delicatessens, boutique hotels and restaurants, as well as in Waitrose stores throughout Wales.

Earlier this month, Nine to Five reported that Dorry Kordahi from Queensland, Australia, started a business in a garden shed but has now been named as one of the country's richest young people.
