We’re making the most of these last few weekends of summer, and with the weather still looking pretty good, we’ve got two evenings of live music to enjoy at Winyard’s Gap this weekend.

FRIDAY — THE RENEGADES | 6.30PM
Start your weekend with live music from The Renegades, kicking off from 6.30pm. Our Garden Menu will be available throughout the evening, so grab some food, find yourself a spot with a view and enjoy a Friday evening of live music, good food and a few drinks.

SUNDAY — MILK & TWO | 5PM
After Sunday lunch, stick around and wind down with Milk & Two from 5pm. A relaxed way to finish the weekend and make the most of a summer Sunday evening. The bar will be open until 9pm, so there’s plenty of time to settle in and enjoy the music, a drink and those Winyard’s Gap views.

Two great evenings, one weekend — come and make the most of the last of summer with us.

What a night! 🌒✨

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who came up to join us for the partial solar eclipse on Wednesday.

We were honestly blown away by the turnout. It was the busiest we have ever seen the pub, and we simply hadn’t anticipated just how many people would choose to come and experience it with us. What an amazing surprise!

Inevitably, with so many people arriving at once, there were some long queues at the bar. We had 4–5 members of the team serving and they worked incredibly hard all evening to get everyone served as quickly as they could. We’re hugely proud of them and very grateful to everyone who waited patiently.

Despite how busy it was, the atmosphere was absolutely lovely. We handed out free eclipse glasses, had live music for everyone to enjoy, and it was wonderful seeing so many people gathered together taking in the eclipse from our beautiful view.

We’ve had so many lovely comments from people who enjoyed the evening, and it really did feel like a special moment for our community.
Thank you to everyone who came up, embraced the occasion and helped create such a brilliant atmosphere — and a particularly big thank you to our team, who absolutely worked their socks off all evening.

We hope the memories last much longer than the queues did. 😉

Thank you for sharing such a special evening with us.
