🍿 LAST-MINUTE CINEMA SPACES AVAILABLE TOMORROW!

We’ve had over 60 cancellations for tomorrow’s Kids’ Free Cinema, which means we suddenly have lots of spaces available for anyone looking for some last-minute plans with the kids 💛

So, if you thought you’d missed out, now’s your chance!

It’s also a good opportunity for us to explain why we have our £7.50 per person late cancellation fee.

Our cinema might be free for you to attend, but it isn’t free for us to put on. We plan the food, team and space around the number of people booked, and when somebody cancels at the last minute, it often means another family who wanted that space has missed out too.

We absolutely understand that plans change, especially with little ones, which is why you can cancel your booking. We just ask that you give us as much notice as possible.

The late cancellation charge is made clear when booking and is there to help us keep offering things like our free cinema throughout the school holidays.

Anyway, back to the good news…

There are now plenty of spaces for tomorrow! 🍿🎬

So if you fancy a free film and hot dog with the kids, get yourself booked in and come and see us 💛

Meg tried our new homemade granola… and then immediately went back for more 👀💛

Made in-house and served with Greek yoghurt, fresh berries and honey, it’s the lighter addition to our new breakfast menu that’s proving very easy to love.

Safe to say, it’s got Meg’s seal of approval.

Who’s trying this one next?

Great to see Boothstown Gin in another great pub! 💛

New stockist alert 👀🍸

We’ve just made a very exciting Boothstown Gin drop-off to our newest customer, The Black Horse in Chorley.

They’re opening their doors next Sunday and, from what we’ve seen already, this is going to be a very special pub and absolutely one to add to your must-visit list.

We love seeing Boothstown Gin finding its way behind the bars of brilliant independent venues, and we’re very happy to be part of The Black Horse’s next chapter.

If you’re heading over once they open, keep an eye out for us behind the bar 👋

POV: someone says, “Shall we just share something?” and this arrives at the table 🥩🍷

A trio of fillet, ribeye and flat iron steak with all the good stuff, including truffle mac & cheese, hand-cut chips, roasted bone marrow and garlic butter.

Add a bottle of Malbec for £25 and prepare to take sharing very seriously.
