Tonight's movie night will start at 7pm.

Unless it changes on the poll drastically it looks like Labyrinth will be the film of choice for today 🩵

We have plenty of sweets treats and sugary snacks but please feel free to bring yourself food or something savoury for the snacks table to share 🩵

See you all at 7pm 📽️📽️🍿🍿

It's late notice and I'm extremely sorry but dad has been taken into hospital and my day is now a little out of whack....

So much so that the bar will be opening at the later time of 2pm today....

We really do apologise 🥹🥹

So today will be 2-6.30pm ISH

And tomorrow is our weekly quiz night and Thursday is movie night ... A poll will be going up later for movie choices ...

Hours hopefully will be normal after today 💜

🌧️ ☔️ 🌧️☔️⛈️

When Clowne’s streets are drenched with rain,
The Old School Tap House saves the day again.

Cosy inside, with stout in hand,
We watch the weather flood the land.

“Hawkestone Stout!”—the perfect pour,
One pint, then perhaps one more.

So let the downpour drum and shout—
We find our snug, stout sanctuary out.

See you all at 12 🍻

I've been really, really rubbish with social media....

But tonight we've decided very last minute being as practical magic 2 is coming out in the cinema in September that we would pop practical magic on the projector and have a movie night at 6.30pm.... well mainly because I haven't ever watched it and those that have want a refresher before we go on a cinema trip .....

So we've decided to make it extra fun and do a themed colour board snacks night too!!

If you want to come have a pint and watch the film feel free .... The bar will be open anyway if you want just a drink.

If you want to join in with the colour board night then please do so. Snacks only no drinks please.

We've got red, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink and purple so far I think. (You can still pick one of these but there are others too)

See you all later 👋🏻👋🏻

Andddd I’m all caught up with my skips. Coronary episode avoided. 123 skips is much harder than it sounds. For those asking for videos (there is one, but they aren’t pretty) so I will show you in person to save embarrassing myself further 🤣

This August, I’m taking on an incredible challenge - 123 skips every single day, totalling 3,813 skips by the end of the month. That’s one skip for every 123 people in the UK living with Crohn’s or Colitis. I’m supporting Crohn’s & Colitis UK, a cause that’s really close to my heart. If ...

Sorry but we will be closing tonight (Monday 10th August) at 6pm.

With dad being poorly in hospital and Maggie thankfully looking after my children....

I've got a migraine so I am locking up early and going home to bed.

I'll see you all tomorrow at 12pm...

Sorry for the inconvenience xx

Well… it seemed like a good idea when I signed up! 😂
123 skips a day throughout August for Crohn’s & Colitis UK. At the moment I’m feeling motivated… ask me again around day 17 when my calves have filed a formal complaint. 😅
If you’d like to cheer me on (or laugh at my suffering), any donation would be hugely appreciated. Every skip is for a great cause. She may live… but will probably die trying 💜
