🎃 WHO LET THE ELVES LOOSE?! 👀🧝‍♂️

Our resident cheeky elves, Lil’ Kev and Lil’ Si, were at it again last night! While we were fast asleep, these two little troublemakers put up the Halloween decorations at The Red Lion, Cherry Hinton! 👻🕸️

We thought we heard something in the night… turns out it was a pair of little sheet-stirrers! 😂👻

Come and see their handiwork and join us for a pint among the pumpkins. 🍺🎃

Should we thank them… or hide the Christmas decorations before they get any more ideas?! 👀🎄

50%? 30%? 20%? Those are some of the guesses in this video…

The answer revealed by the campaign? Just 2.6%. That’s 13p on a £5 pint. 😳
