Friday Night πŸ™ŒπŸ» 🍺

A Friday night after-work pint has to be up there with the best pints you can have, closely followed by an airport pint 🍻 What's your favorite pint?

Anyway, it is Friday, and we're back open at 4, serving food and drinks. It also looks like the sun might stay out β˜€οΈ

Still space on the quiz tomorrow! Come along, it's only Β£5, and that includes a meal πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Cheers 🍻

⁉️ Quiz ⁉️

Well, that's summer almost over with πŸ˜” but don't fear because the monthly quiz is here πŸ¦Έβ€β™‚οΈ

This Saturday! We've got Alex as a guest quiz master! Still the same format as my quizzes, so don't worry, nothing's changing other than he can read and I can't πŸ˜‚ he's not told me anything about the theme, so it'll be as much a surprise to me as to all of you!

I've been demoted to food duty this quiz 🫑

We still have a couple of tables left, so why not book in and end the summer holidays with some quiz fun! 🀨

Thank you,

Wow! What a day we had yesterday.

Thank you so much to everyone who came along to celebrate 5 years of us being here! We really appreciate your support ❀️

First, a huge massive thank you to the Bassetts for organizing our vehicle show, and to everyone who came along to show! We had a few awards to give out. Crowd favorite went to Muir Hill, most enthusiastic went to the Red Series 3 Land Rover, best display went to Harry Bassett and his plow, and Archie's pick went to the Lambretta scooter. However, all vehicles did end up with some votes, and all awards were close, so obviously, all enjoyed! 🚜 this managed to raise Β£116 to go to young lives vs cancer. Thank you all for the donations πŸ™

Secondly, thank you to Costa and The Fig and Fire for coming along and serving your delicious kebabs! We had great feedback all around πŸ‡¨πŸ‡Ύ

Thirdly, to Jiggery Folkery for an absolutely fantastic evening of music. It was a brilliant evening, and we hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did πŸŽΈπŸŽ™

Finally, thank you to all our staff, past and present (especially to those who worked tirelessly yesterday to keep you all hydrated), and to all of you for supporting us for the last 5 years. We wouldn't be here without you! πŸ₯‚ Back open today from 4 pm!

See you later,
Josh & Tina
