The Goats Head

10/09/2026

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day and it’s an important day to raise awareness that su***de is entirely preventable with the right help.

I struggle on and off with my mental health but it was particularly bad in 2017/18 and although I didn’t make any attempt on my life, those thoughts were certainly there.

I sought help from Mind and a private counsellor and it changed my life.

We’ve recently donated to the great fundraising the Ambulads2026 are doing and as an added gesture we’ll donate 10% of whatever we take over the bar today to a mental health charity ☺️

A little appreciation post for Ryan Southall at Nationwide Energy 👏🏼⚡️

Ryan has just renewed our electricity contract and managed to secure us an 11.5% reduction on our day rate and a massive 15% reduction on our evening & weekend rate! 🤩

At a time when pubs and other small businesses are battling rising costs from pretty much every direction, savings like this make a huge difference to the business going forward.

They’ve also been a massive help recently in resolving a gas bill dispute which, without their help, could have caused a serious issue for the business.

So credit where credit’s due - a massive thank you to Ryan and the team at Nationwide Energy Consultants 👏🏼

Give them a follow, and if you’re in the commercial space, it’s definitely worth getting in touch to see if they can help your business too! ⚡️🍻

Guys…I’m going to be honest with you.

Because of Bass shortages we’ve been stockpiling it so we can keep a constant supply

However…we close on Saturday for our refurbishment so we find ourselves in the position of needing to shift 4 barrels before we close

So….from today until Saturday you can grab a DRAUGHT BASS FOR JUST £2.60/PINT 😮

No time constraints, no catch…just come and drink it!

🦌 HORN DANCE 2026… BY THE NUMBERS

I’ve written enough soppy posts thanking you all for your support 😂 so this morning I thought I’d let the numbers from yesterday do the talking…

Over 12 hours at The Goat…

🛒 3,781 individual items sold
🍺 1,057 pints poured
🧾 870 transactions through our tills
🎶 240 minutes of live music from Josh Thacker - Music & The Duck Down Duvets
🍔 208 burgers served by Smashing It Burgers
🍕 174 pizzas served by Benjis Pizza

PLUS

🦌 1 very special visit from the Abbots Bromley Horn Dancers

To put some of that into perspective, across the whole 12 hours we averaged…

👉🏼 315 items every hour
👉🏼 88 pints every hour
👉🏼 More than 5 items every minute
👉🏼 A transaction roughly every 50 seconds

And those are the averages across the whole day… anyone who saw the bar when the Horns arrived will know there were periods when it was considerably quicker than that! 😂

And the craziest part of all?

Where else in the world can you do all of this on a MONDAY?! 😂

There really is nothing quite like Horn Dance Day in Abbots Bromley 🦌❤️

Horn Dance 2026 ✔️

See you next year!
