Well we are open 😂🙈😂 the kitchen is 95% done and we are definitely open 😂😂 it’s been a long 231 days of blood, sweat and quite often an emotional event but we are through the worst of it and Lewy after a nervous first hour (I’m not surprised glad I don’t cook anymore you need a degree with these rational ovens) he settled in extremely nicely with all the new equipment, cooking is all about timing but these ovens, OMG quick that’s a understatement a salmon fillet took 20 minutes in our old oven and 3 minutes in these so obviously this takes some getting use to😂😂😂

I’m dying to get my first full nights sleep I’ve never seen so many 3am’s in all my life, I normally crash for 7/8 hours without stirring 🙈😂🙈.

This job for our electrician Tom,(TWE electrics) he’s been moaning about our fuse board for more years than I can remember, well look at that bad boy, 3 phase to the new board but hold on waiting for more years than I can remember now I have two😂😂😂😂😂😂more thanks from me for the many others who made this fantastic project possible in the near future.

Day 121 almost there, these pesky ovens owe me some sleep. 3am I was awake worrying about them, they weigh 400lbs and they are HUGE but both now in place. Tom Walker and Andrew Bryne worked until 10pm last night and I got in this morning @ 7.15 and Tom was already working, amazing I would be in the mire without that effort.

I was like a pig in crap yesterday with the b**r being dropped down the cellar by yours truly 😂😂😂.

By about 5pm tonight I should know if we are opening tomorrow or not….. ovens are being tested as we speak

Well day 46 of our refurbishment of our kitchen and it’s been a long process my fingers are even aching (power washing yesterday) today 2me2u are picking up all the rubbish and I’m literally hoovering the lawn(don’t ask) Tom Rutter & Rhys Llewellyn finished the little patios under the benches ready for next year.

Kitchen report, walls and floors are finished and tomorrow TWE are putting in the electrical works and Craig Waters the plumbing. We are literally winging this refit for Wednesday’s reopening I feel it’s going to be a late night on Tuesday 😂😂😂😂.

Well happy days, I’m positive the worst is behind us and Saturday is going to be a big outside clean up and hopefully over the weekend the scrappy and “2 me 2 you” would have removed all what’s needed to be gone.

The main picture is one of our waste pipes revealing our very own fat-berg mmmh but thanks to our plumber Craig Walters who dismantled it without any mess (good job Craig) extractor and flue installed by concept, the walls are fitted and today the floor is being laid.

I think we are still on target for the Wednesday morning opening 😂🤞😂, although getting up at 7am and being at the pub til 6/7pm I think a little break is in order…………

Day two of the refurbishment……….you know yesterday I said I was up to my a**e in mess well it’s just got worse 🙈😂🙈 I’ve let Rhys and Tom dig up my garden ready for little patio’s under my benches.

The kitchen now has a new canopy with lovely LED lights and the new electric cable (3phase) has been put in place thanks to Alex, Tom (TWE electrics) and myself and I can guarantee it was blooming heavy and awkward.

VAT inspection was a hit and according to the young man I won’t be having another one due to my age……. Apparently they only do one every 5 to 10 years 🙈😂🙈 cheeky bu**er.

Moore news tomorrow.

Day one of our kitchen refit and mmmmh I’m not going to lie it’s a mess😂🙈😂 gas has gone and never to return, all electrics ripped out all core holes for three phase are now done and some of the new panelling is now glued to the wall. Old extraction has been completely dismantled and a new bigger hole has been installed ready for the new bigger flue.

Dai has finished new washing up area ready for the plastic panels on Wednesday.

I was a bit disheartened this morning but a VAT inspection at 10am certainly took my mind off the kitchen for a hour or so 😂🙈😂, all is well and the good news I’m not going to jail for the money laundering……….

Another report soon

So HMRC have decided to do an expectation on………………..Monday, no problem but still stressful and then this letter arrives! On seeing it I was expecting time of arrival etc but then it’s from a bitter quiz team moaning about three teams that win regular 😂😂😂😂.

So in the madness that surrounds my life I forgot last week to announce that we are for the 16th time in a row we are in the good b**r guide whoop whoop.

Today’s specials are home-cooked ham and parsley sauce with mashed potatoes and peas £15, Local gammon served with 2 free range eggs, chips and peas £17

Lunch today is from 12-4pm with welsh topside of beef, lamb & chicken breast, all served with new pots, roasted potatoes, assortment of vegetables and lashings of homemade gravy £16.50.

The famous hangover cure lasagne served with chips and garlic bread, steak and local ale pie, chicken jalfrezi served 1/2 & 1/2 or maybe fresh haddock with homemade b**r batter with homemade tartare sauce.

It’s quite today but bookings are still advisable due the fact we might be one of very few places doing Sunday roast in town our number is 01873 838939

Well what a start to my day, first up and in work for 8am to clean the pub, shortly after the mini digger turns up to open the pavement in readiness to put three phase electric in on Monday. B**r delivery done now Tom Walker drilling the hole for new supply to come into the cellar oops the digger can’t find the right supply cable now we are almost in the road🙈😂🙈.
1 o’clock and I’m off to Crickhowell for Ann Couzens funeral then back to work. Did I mention food festival yet???
