Afternoon

This Saturday I’ll be heading over to Swindon and Reading. Swindon is well known for its railway heritage and the historic Great Western Railway Works, while Reading is famous for its rich history, the Abbey founded by Henry I, and the annual Reading Festival.

I’ll be visiting a variety of micropubs, pubs and breweries throughout the day, taking in some of the best both towns have to offer.

If I’m planning to pop in and visit you, I’d really appreciate a share of this post — and if you see me out and about, feel free to come and say hello!

We’ve made the decision to skip this month entirely, but don’t worry—we will be back next month! Gary will be back on the mic to test your knowledge then.

Thanks for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you all for the next one! 🍻

🔥 Smokehouse Test Run – This Weekend Only! 🔥

We’re firing up the smoker and launching a brand-new menu offering! We have extremely limited quantities available for this test run, so get them while they last.

We’re serving up our house-smoked favorites:

1/2 Chicken
1/2 Rack of Baby Back Ribs
Beef Brisket

Enjoy them solo or level up your plate by adding a side of our house-smoked pulled pork!

All served with house fries, mac n’ cheese, slaw & dill pickles.

This is a limited trial for this weekend, but if you love it as much as we do, we’ll bring it back for good based on the demand!

Come grab a taste before it’s gone!
