Hank’s Wet Weekday Watchdog

Rainy days mean one thing for Hank… snoozing on the sofa and generally doing anything to not get wet!

Why not follow his example and keep out of the wet in the pub!

We have a big weekend of music… Trance vibes from the OnTik Soundsystem 12-6 on Saturday. And Patelvis at 4pm Sunday.

In addition the Humble Pie Smiling Spoon will be BBQing both days

So come join the fun; we can’t wait to welcome you

See you at the bar 🍺🍻🍺

We are open!!! Albeit later than usual getting out of bed was a chore after yesterday’s marathon!

There’s Premier League football and F1 on the tv and the juke box is on free play!

However I really want to thank my team for all their hard work on our first Carnival Day. Everyone put in a great shift and I couldn’t be prouder of you all. We managed to keep serving and smiling even with some technological difficulties, thank you to our guests for your patience. Our band No Angels were fantastic, and what a night we all had. Thank you all.

The morning after the night before marches on

See you at the bar 🍻🍺🍻
