🎃🎃🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃🎃🎃

We're all decorated and looking forward to welcoming you to our Halloween party tomorrow 🕺

From 4pm until around 6pm, why not bring the kids in for a little Trick or Treating? Then come back later for an evening of fun, dancing, shots, party games and kara-ooooooo-ke.

We'll be back to normal on Sunday serving our roasts from midday to 4pm, followed by music from the rather lovely Kelvin Pratt.

See you soooooooon!

⚠️ This weekend's events ⚠️

Huge thanks to last night's intrepid quiz teams- we had a ball! Congratulations to the Cricketers on your win, and commiserations to the gallant 'non-winners' (there are, of course, no losers in this game!). More quizzing fun next Friday 🤔

We're open for food until 8pm tonight- last kitchen orders at 7.45 please. Then we'll be singing our hearts out at karaoke- do join us to sing along, add backing vocals, take the spotlight yourselves, or just enjoy a few drinks serenaded by your fellow drinkers.

Tomorrow- well of course we'll be serving more of our delicious roasts, from 12 to 4. We're down to our last few places, so give us a shout if you'd like to secure one of our remaining tables.

After lunch, we're delighted to welcome back Soloist/Laura Stoneman , one half of one of our favourite duos, Keepsake Lily, from 4pm. Come along for a boogie to end your weekend in style!

See you very soon 🥰

Huge thanks to Dave and the team at Housemartins Sweeps & Installs for cleaning our chimney and servicing our burner ahead of the Winter months. It looks great- as good as new- and we can't wait to bring some warmth and cosiness back when the nights start drawing in. They're also great value for money! Give them a call if you need their services, we can't recommend them enough 🔥🔥🔥
