Back to the 80s this Sunday afternoon at The Red Lion with an £80 MEAT RAFFLE and a further £80 BAR TAB to be won in the music quiz... with all songs from the '80s.

Landlord David (cocky so-and-so) almost got caught out last time thanks to our new customer from Oakley... but again he is so confident, he's offering an £80 bar tab if you can name all 10 artists in this week's 'Meats & Beats'.

All are known UK chart hits. You must be in the Meat Raffle (£1 a ticket) to play the music quiz. Starts around 4pm.

We really want to thank our incredible customers for making yesterday such a huge success.

What an astoundingly magnificent day, with some truly amazing people attending our first 'Carpark-Fest' event.

Thank for your support, your patience when it was especially manic and a special thank you to customers who brought their empty glasses back to the bar!

Our authentic German sausage food trader Conny said, “You have such wonderful, kind and polite customers”.

And, she’s right.

You were considerate and respectful and it was a delight to see that you all really got into the spirit of whole event.

Thank you for supporting us, our exhibitors, our acts and our lovely local traders (who are told our traders had a rather profitable day).

It’s usually impossible to name everyone who helped make this event such a success, particularly as there were a total of 44 individuals who made yesterday’s event happen…

Except… we want to share some special love for Gaynor from Renasci Designs - Overton, Basingstoke who quietly, unassumingly did so much for us in the background that genuinely added to yesterday’s sparkle (and vicariously, thank you Overton Emporia, Caviste, Honesty Group and more.

Yesterday, you helped raise £535 for our nominated beneficiaries Overton Radio and Test Valley Men’s Shed. Sincere thanks for your kind generosity.

Well done to everyone who won any of our variety of £350+ of prizes or free pints of Madrí, with a special congratulations to Jasmine who wins a £3kg jar of mixed sweets for winning our fun Picture Quiz.

We adore our wonderful customers. You are all amazing people... (even the huge contingency who travelled from Whitchurch :-) )

Carpark-Fest 2027?

Yeah, okay, let’s do it.

Thank you, and… Cheers!

Not only is there £80 to be won on this week's MEAT RAFFLE, but today (cocky sod) David is so confident no-one will get all the songs in this afternoon's music quiz, he's giving away a £50 BAR TAB if you prove him wrong.

(Only nine songs, all hits were in the UK Top 40 from the 60s to the early 90s).

Starts at 4:00pm (Dennis' arrival time may vary this slightly).
