✈️☀️ **WELL THAT ENDED QUICKLY🍹😂

And just like that, our little holiday is over and it’s time to dust off the aprons and get back to work.

What originally started as a booking for four somehow grew with the addition of Daniella and Bobby — who had never been abroad before, let alone been on a plane

Safe to say, they’ve now had the full experience

We swam in the pool and the sea.
We drank copious amounts of alcohol that, for once, none of us had to serve.
We ate lots of delicious food that none of us had to prepare.
We hired a boat and sailed around the beautiful coast of Tenerife
And we enjoyed plenty of warm sunshine along the way

And most importantly, we had the most amazing time together.

It’s been the perfect chance to switch off, relax, laugh far too much and enjoy some much-needed sunshine. ☀️😎

But sadly, all good things must come to an end…

So, it’s time to pack away the holiday clothes, dust off the aprons, find the sensible shoes and remember how to work again

We’re back open from **Wednesday 16th September** and we can’t wait to see you all again.

Hopefully we’re rested, refreshed and ready to go… although after this much food and alcohol, getting through the first shift might be interesting

See you soon!

**The Weston Cross Team** 🍻

☀️🍹 WE’RE OFF TO FIND OUT WHAT THIS “TIME OFF” THING IS ALL ABOUT 🍹☀️**

Well… what a summer😅

After an absolutely crazy busy few months, we’ve decided that it’s probably time we remembered what our beds, sofas and perhaps even a sun lounger look like😂

So, we’ll be CLOSED from **Monday 7th September**, reopening on **Wednesday 16th September**.

It’s time for us and our hard-working team to hang up the aprons, put down the bar cloths and escape into the sunshine for some much-needed — and very much deserved — time to relax, recharge and unwind. ☀️🍹🏖️

A massive THANK YOU to every single one of you who has supported us over what has been a fantastic summer. ❤️

We’ve loved seeing so many familiar faces, welcoming new ones and surviving the exceptionally warm kitchen, working in the sunshine, the busy services, the rare eclipse and everything else that’s been thrown at us 😂

Our amazing team have worked incredibly hard throughout, so now it’s their turn to enjoy some well-earned time off too. 👏❤️

We’ll be back **Wednesday 16th September**, hopefully rested, refreshed and ready to do it all over again

Until then… cheers to a few days of doing absolutely nothing 🍻😎☀️

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. ❤️

The Weston Cross Team 🍻

🥵🔥 **WE SURVIVED THE HEAT** 🔥🥵

Well… yesterday was certainly one for the record books🌡️☀️

Our kitchen reached a **staggering 51°C+** while we battled through the heat😳🔥 That’s more than a little warm — it was absolutely **boiling** in there

A huge **THANK YOU** to our incredible team for working through such challenging conditions and continuing to do their very best for our customers. ❤️👏

And a massive thank you to **all our customers for your patience, understanding and support** while we battled on through the extreme temperatures. It really was appreciated. ❤️

🌡️ **Thankfully, today is predicted to be a little cooler at around 31°C!** 🙌

We’re hoping that feels positively refreshing after yesterday😂

We’ll still be keeping a close eye on the kitchen temperatures throughout the day and, as always, **our team’s safety and wellbeing comes first**. If conditions become too hot, service may need to pause or stop.

But for now… fingers crossed for a slightly more manageable day! 🤞☀️

And to our team — **51°C and you still turned up and battled through it… absolute legends❤️🔥👏

Thank you all! 🍻❤️

🥵🔥 **IT’S HOTTER THAN… WELL, WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF WAYS TO DESCRIBE IT!** 🔥🥵

We thought yesterday was hot… but today is taking things to a whole new level! 🌞🔥

It’s currently **36°C outside** — but here’s the crazy bit…

🌡️ **Our kitchen is already reading 41°C… BEFORE WE’VE EVEN OPENED!** 😳🥵

Once the ovens, grills and everything else get fired up, the kitchen can be **more than 10°C hotter than outside**, so goodness knows what temperature we’ll be reaching later! 🔥🌡️

We’ll be doing our very best to keep food service running today:

🍴 **Lunch: 12pm–1.45pm**
🍴 **Evening: 6pm–7.30pm**

However, **our kitchen team’s safety and wellbeing comes first**. If temperatures become too extreme, **food service may need to pause or, if necessary, stop completely**. We hope everyone understands that we simply cannot put our fantastic team at risk.

A huge thank you to our amazing kitchen team for even contemplating working in these conditions — **41°C before opening is absolutely ridiculous!** ❤️👏

Thankfully, the bar is fully stocked with **plenty of lovely cold drinks** 🍺🍷🧊, so if you’re looking for somewhere to escape the heat, we’ll have something cold waiting for you!

**Please stay hydrated, keep cool and take care in this extreme heat.** ❤️☀️

And to our kitchen team… **we promise we’ll get you an industrial-sized paddling pool if this carries on!** 😂🏊‍♂️🥵

🌞 **What an amazing night!** 🌞

Last night, Wednesday 12th August, our beer garden was the perfect place to watch the solar eclipse — and what a turnout we had!

We had people arriving with welding helmets, homemade viewers and even a group of bikers who brought their own eclipse glasses and kindly shared them around so everyone could get an amazing view. 😎🌞

It was fantastic to see everyone enjoying the experience together, sharing glasses, views and plenty of excitement.

**A great night was had by all!** 🌙✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it such a memorable evening. 🍻

🥵🔥 **HOT, HOTTER... AND STILL GOING!** 🔥🥵

Well... here we are again! 🌞🔥

The temperature is currently hitting a **scorching 34°C outside** — and our kitchen has gone one step further, sitting at a rather ridiculous **39C!** 🥵🌡️

Yes, you read that right... **39°C in the kitchen!** 😳🔥 And that's before the ovens, grills and everything else really gets going!

We'll be serving food as usual today:

🍴 **Lunch: 12pm–1.45pm**
🍴 **Evening: 6pm–7.30pm**
..or until our kitchen starts feeling like the surface of the sun! ☀️😂

As always, the **safety and wellbeing of our fantastic kitchen team comes first**. If temperatures become too extreme once everything is fired up, we may need to stop food service earlier than planned.

Thankfully, the bar is still fully stocked with **plenty of lovely cold drinks** 🍺🍷🧊 — so if the kitchen can't tempt you in, the prospect of a cold pint certainly might! 😉

A **massive thank you** to our incredible team for battling through these temperatures and continuing to keep everyone fed and topped up with drinks. They deserve medals... and possibly their own personal swimming pool! 😂🏊‍♂️

Thank you, as always, for your patience, understanding and support. ❤️

**Stay cool, everyone! 🥵☀️🍺**

On Wednesday 12th August, witness the solar eclipse from our beer garden. 🌝

With so many spaces offering panoramic views, we can’t think of anywhere better to experience this rare cosmic event than from our beer garden with a pint of beer or glass of wine.

🌞 6:13pm - Moon makes first contact with the sun
🌞 7:10pm - Maximum eclipse
🌞 8:04pm - Eclipse ends as the sun sets
🌙
What a perfect way to spend an evening
