Afternoon folks 🙂

I've had a message from BT stating there is currently a network issue at Tailor's meaning that there will may potentially be an issue with card transactions this evening (I won't know for sure until I arrive later whether I will be able to take card payments or not), so if possible please try to have some cash for payment this evening just in case.

Apologies in advance for any inconvenience caused 🙂

Everything is set up and ready to go, but I must go get this sorted and will be back as soon as I can.

Well, it’s been a while since I managed to post on here! I have to confess, I’m currently suffering from a bit of an aversion to social media 🤷‍♀️ I’m sure I’ll get over it eventually… 🙃

So… anyhoo… what’s occurring? 👀

Well, we’re trying something a little different on the ale front this weekend. We’ve got a blonde, a pale ale and a traditional ale — all firm favourites from well-loved breweries.
Which one will you choose? 🤔🍺

Meanwhile, the usual suspects on the T-bar have all been restocked and are ready for action:
🍏 Aspalls Cyder
🍺 Jaipur IPA
🍺 Pravha Pilsner
🍺 Veltins Pilsner

The Listers crisps have been restocked in ALL the flavours (because apparently we need ALL the flavours 🤣). The w**e fridge is full, the mixers and bottles are restocked, the lines have been cleaned, as has the rest of the pub...

I guess that means we’re ready for the weekend! 🙂

All we need now is for you lovely lot to come out to play 🙂 — preferably accompanied by your four-legged friends, obviously. 🐾

Speaking of which... our resident pub dog will be putting in an appearance on Sunday evening for his adoring fans. So, if you’ve been worried about his welfare, wondering how he’s coping with life chez Sam, or simply need your regular dose of dog... you know where to find him 🐾

And while we’re on the subject of dogs, a very warm welcome to Pip, our newest “pub dog in training” and Roy’s new partner in crime. Hopefully she’ll become our newest regular!
Welcome to the community, Pip 💜🐾

Hopefully the rain will ease off for Saturday (and the rest of the weekend), especially with the event of the weekend being Wellyfest!
🌧️➡️☀️
(.....And hopefully you’ve all got your tickets ready??? 👀)

Hope to see you soon! 🍻

I've been a bit lackadaisical with my posts the last couple of weeks, apologies for not keeping you up to date with the beer-off news 😀

So for the last three weekends Team Real Ale has won by a very narrow margin each weekend (the least being 1.5 pints and the most being 6.5 pints). It's been a pretty quiet month overall so far, at least at work, it's been pretty hectic at home 🤷‍♀️🙈

So, what's occurring this weekend I hear you ask?

Well...starting the weekend on the ales we have:
🍺 Sleck Dust - Great Newsome
🍺 Traditional Bitter - Old Mill
🍺 Marmalade Porter - Wold Top

We have the usual suspects in the t-bar:
🍺Aspalls Cyder
🍺Jaipur IPA
🍺Pravha Pilsner
🍺Veltins Pilsner

The fridges are restocked, but we're waiting on a delivery of snacks and crisps that haven't arrived yet...so stocks are limited until their arrival.

Other than that, there's not much else to report 🤷‍♀️

Hope to see you soon 😊

Where on earth has the week gone??
I hope you've all been enjoying the sunshine.
It's been a bit too warm for Mudhog bogdogs and Jenny Wren and I've been too busy to get outside very much 🙄

Well, Tailor's is ready for the weekend ahead. Apologies in advance if the cleanliness is not up to the usual standards...I cleaned, made a mess, cleaned again, made another mess and then had another whizz round but it was hot and I was bothered 🤷‍♀️🙈

On the ale front this weekend we're kicking off with a duo of Old Mill Brewery, Snaith beers and an old favourite from The Wold Top Brewery. The usual suspects remain on the tbar and the fridges are fully stocked.

Jen has a Doctors appointment this afternoon but all being well we should be open at the usual time, bear with me if I'm not quite organised at opening.

Hope to see you soon 😊
