A little glimpse behind the curtain…

Turns out asking, “Why does the Government hate pubs?” leads to quite a few outtakes 😵‍💫

Episode 2 of Last Orders drops this week, and Reece tackles one of his favourite subjects: why pubs seem to get the rough end of the deal… and whether we should start taking notes from the French. You know, the whole storming the Bastille approach. (For legal reasons this is a joke.)

In the meantime, the full 25-minute Episode 1 is now live on YouTube if you haven’t caught it yet. It’s the story of why Reece took on a village pub, why he chose Vernham Dean, the mistakes he’s made, and why he still believes pubs are worth fighting for.

Episode 2 goes live this week. See you there.

It may be too hot for ale.

We said it.

In fact, it’s so hot we’re starting to question whether a pint is enough to cool us down anymore.

So this week we’re serving Coke Floats.

Perfect for anyone who yearns for a bit of summer nostalgia, and parents bold enough to sugar up their kids.

Go on. They only get one childhood.

Vanilla ice cream, ice cold cola, and absolutely no concern for one’s waistline.

And if that still doesn’t cool you down, Reece is now offering a complimentary glass of water poured directly onto your head. Naturally terms and conditions apply.

Available this week while the sunshine lasts. ☀️

Nine years ago, Reece took on a village pub.

Most people thought he was mad.

In the first episode of Last Orders, we asked him three simple questions:

Why take on a pub?
Why Vernham Dean?
Why be a landlord?

The answers involve hard work, community, a few mistakes, and a genuine belief that pubs still have an important place in village life.

Episode One is live now.

Pull up a chair and have a listen 🍺

Happy Father’s Day.

To the dads who taught us how to change a tyre, light a barbecue, hold a pint properly, and confidently give directions despite being completely lost.

Have a wonderful day from all of us at The George.

Ode to Calamari

O noble ring of battered gold,
More precious far than gems untold,
You arrive upon a humble plate,
And instantly improve my fate.

No trumpet sounds, no choir sings,
Yet joy erupts when the waiter brings
That basket lined with paper white,
A beacon in the fading light.

Crunch without,
Tender within,
A masterpiece of squid and sin.
With lemon squeezed and aioli near,
You are the reason that I am here.

I’ve ordered fish and I’ve ordered steak,
I’ve sampled dishes chefs proudly make,
Yet all are merely passing stars
Beside your crispy, salty charms.

Well, summer’s finally shown up.

The fires are off, the garden’s full, the summer menu is live and we’ve got plenty going on this week.

♟️ Backgammon Tournament – Thursday, 7pm
🌞 New Summer Menu
🍺 Proper local ale
🍕 Pizza
👨 Father’s Day on Sunday

So instead of sitting in the garden pretending you’ll mow the lawn, come and sit in ours instead.

Cheers,
Reece
