PIZZA NIGHT!! 🍕

are here from 4.30 this evening with some great specials alongside their regular menu.

I tried the Magpie Chilli Goat last week and it was one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a loooong time!!

Talking of specials we’ve some guest banged on the taps including a delicious WCIPA from and a super special Apricot sour from

No quiz tonight unfortunately as Matt is on his Jollies. It’s been a bit stop-start recently with holiday, eclipses, heatwaves etc but we’re hoping to settle in to a nice weekly flow again from next week!

Well that’s a first…. Finding an eclipse viewer left in the garden after a busy night.

Thanks to everyone that joined us last night and for your patience. We knew we’d be busy but that was silly. Hope you all had a great night, despite the (im)perfectly timed clouds!

We’re back open from 11 for what promises to be an exceptionally hot day. As always we’ll have ice cold water available outside in the b**r gardens, please help yourselves.

Were stocked uk and staffed up, but wherever you are, stay hydrated and spare a thought for the staff working in the heat. Maybe bring them a Calippo 😀

Hey everyone.

Unfortunately tonight’s quiz won’t be going ahead.

All of Newcastle turned out to watch the eclipse and it won’t be possible to run the quiz with the numbers here.

Huge apologies.

Back next week x
