🎃🚨 JAMIE HAS BEEN APPREHENDED!🚨🎃

It appears the Pumpkin Man "Jack O'Lagern"* has finally caught up with Jamie after discovering he'd left Jen to run the Freehold for an ENTIRE weekend of Halloween madness AND a Harry Potter Charity Quiz! 🤣

Apparently, even a man with a pumpkin for a head could see this was a questionable decision! 😂

To make matters worse, he's also discovered that pretty much most of the decorations for BOTH events were planned, organised and sorted by Jen! 🎃⚡

(A massive thank you to Carys, Reece, Laura & Scott for helping with decorations and decorating! You're absolute stars! ❤️)

Judging by Jamie's face, he's just been informed that "Well, you managed alright, didn't you?" is NOT an acceptable response! 🤣

🎃 Halloween 2026 ✅️
⚡ Harry Potter Charity Quiz ✅️
🎨 Two lots of decorations organised ✅️
🍻 Pub still standing ✅️
🫠 Jen's last remaining brain cell hanging on by a thread ✅️
🎃 Jamie being held accountable by an oversized vegetable ✅️

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us this weekend and made both events such a success! ❤️

Jen is now officially out of office until she's remembered what day it is, what her name is and why she thought running a pub was a good idea in the first place😂🍷

**Congratulations to the winner of our name Mr Pumpkin Man- "Jack O'Lagern!" We will contact you to sort your prize! 🫶🏻

🌺 A Little Update 🌺

We're pleased to say that the missing poppy glass has now been returned, paid for, and an additional donation made to the Royal British Legion❤️

Misunderstandings happen, and whilst we were understandably disappointed- we appreciate the gesture and are genuinely grateful for the honesty to put things right ❤️

✨ A Little Magical Notice ✨

🐾 AN URGENT APPEAL FROM NAHLA 🐾

Dear Freehold Regulars,

I need you all to come to Bingo tonight. This is not a drill🚨😭🤣

Jamie, my new dad, has been working away, it's half term, and Jen, my new mam has officially gone crackers.

She's turned "Nahla Noo" into a Baby Shark remix and has been performing it to me for the last 12 hours 🎶🦈

There's singing. There's dancing. There's even a high-pitched bit that I believe only other dogs can hear💀😂

LOOK AT MY FACE. I'm trying SO hard to be supportive, but every time I give her a polite little look, SHE STARTS FROM THE BEGINNING😭

I've only been adopted less than a week. Nobody mentioned this during the viewing. I'd like to speak to whoever approved my placement 🙄🐶

🎃 ANYWAY… HALLOWEEN BINGO TONIGHT! 👻

🕢 7.30pm
🎱 £10 for 6 games
🏆 Cash prizes & silly prizes!

Thankfully, Jamie's hosting tonight, so PLEASE come down to The Freehold Tavern and keep him busy. If he's busy calling numbers, he can't disappear off working again and leave me alone with the woman who's apparently auditioning for Britain's Got Talent😭🤣

Yours, one chorus away from packing my own suitcase,

Nahla Noo 🐾❤️

P.S. Jamie, if you're reading this, your wife needs adult supervision. And apparently I'm the adult. 😭🤣

Raise a Glass is back🍻
Our limited-edition commemorative glasses are available in pub until the 11th November, helping us raise vital funds for the Royal British Legion. Featuring a special poppy design by Army veteran and artist Jane Wilkes, every glass helps support the Armed Forces community. ❤️

🎃🚨 WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🚨🎃

Meet the newest member of the Freehold team…

He’s handsome, he’s quiet, he doesn’t argue back and, best of all, he works for free😂👏

A MASSIVE thank you to Laura & Scott for all their hard work making this absolute masterpiece, along with loads of the other Halloween decorations around the pub. 🧡👻 You’ve done an amazing job and we really appreciate all the time and effort you’ve put in! ❤️

There’s just one problem…

HE NEEDS A NAME! 😂🎃

So we’re turning it into a competition!

👇 COMMENT YOUR BEST NAME BELOW 👇

We’ll pick our favourite on Halloween and the winner will receive some Halloween goodies! 🎁👻🎃

Funny, clever, ridiculous… we want to hear them all!😂

Go go go....NAME THAT PUMPKIN! 🎃

🌹 RAISE A GLASS & REMEMBER 🌹

Something a little special has arrived behind the bar at The Freehold Tavern ❤️

We’ve got these gorgeous Poppy Pint & Half Pint Glasses available to buy, with all profits going to the Royal British Legion.

🌹 Pint Glass — £3.50
🌹 Half Pint Glass — £3.00

Whether you use yours for a pint, pop it on the shelf as a keepsake, or give one to someone special, every glass sold helps support a brilliant cause.

We’ve only got a limited number, so grab yours from behind the bar before they’re gone!

And of course, when you next raise your glass…

Raise it for those who gave their tomorrow for our today 🤍🕊

We will remember them ❤️
