⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THREE 5-STAR REVIEWS IN ONE DAY! ❤️

Well, this has been a rather lovely way to end the weekend! 🥰

After a fabulous, full-house Drag Bingo last night, followed by another busy Sunday Lunch today, we've just sat down to find THREE wonderful 5-star reviews on Google and Tripadvisor!

And we're feeling rather chuffed! ❤️

🍽️ "Best Sunday roast I have had in a long time."

🍽️ "One of the best roast dinners we have had in a long time."

🍽️ "A revelation and an enhancement of a chilled out Sunday."

And it's not just the food. Reading lovely comments about our cosy atmosphere, friendly staff and great service means just as much.

We're a small, independent, family-run business, and we really appreciate it when customers help us grow x

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us this weekend, to those who took the time to leave such lovely reviews, and of course to Wayne and our little team for all their hard work. ❤️

Right, time to put our feet up!

See you next week at Darcy's! 🥂

🎱💋 WHAT A NIGHT!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! ❤️

A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us for Drag Bingo with the fabulous Dixie Normous Drag Artist Dixie Normous last night!

A FULL HOUSE, plenty of laughs, lots of event cocktails flowing, and we Agadoo-doo-dooed, sang our hearts out and thoroughly enjoyed watching those unlucky enough to face a forfeit! 🤣🍹

Dixie brought the bingo balls, the sass, the incredible vocals and a whole lot of cheekiness! What an absolutely brilliant night! 🎤💃

It was also lovely to see so many new faces at Darcy's last night, alongside our wonderful regulars. We hope it's the first of many visits! ❤️

We absolutely love seeing Darcy's buzzing like this, and you lot certainly know how to have a good time!

⭐ A LITTLE FAVOUR...

If you enjoyed last night as much as we did, we'd be so grateful if you could spare a minute to leave us a review. As a small independent business, your lovely words really do make a difference and help others discover Darcy's. ❤️

And the good news is…

🎉 DIXIE IS BACK – SATURDAY 20TH FEBRUARY! 🎉

More bingo balls, more sass, more singing and undoubtedly more outrageous antics! 💋🎱

A massive thank you to Dixie and everyone who made last night such a success. We can't wait to do it all again!

✨ And now it's time to clear up the glitter and sparkles, put the bingo balls away and get Darcy's ready for Sunday Lunch! 🍽️

And it looks like we're heading for another full house today! ❤️

We'll try to update you later if we have any tables available, so keep an eye on our page.

From drag queens and cocktails to Yorkshire puddings and bottomless gravy… never a dull moment at Darcy's! 🤣❤️

Love,
Sarah, Wayne & the Darcy's Team ❤️

🖤 ARE THE TRAITORS STEALING OUR CUSTOMERS?! 🗡️😂

We have a sneaking suspicion a certain TV programme might be affecting our Friday night bookings!

Tonight we have ZERO tables booked! 😱

So here's a thought… don't cook tonight! Come to Darcy's, let us feed and water you, and we'll have you home in time for The Traitors! 📺🍷

Now the big question…

Are you FAITHFUL to Darcy's, or have you BETRAYED us for Claudia and the telly? 😂🖤
