🎃👻 WHAT A FRIGHTFULLY GOOD NIGHT! 💀🍻

Well, Clyst St Mary… you certainly know how to put the BOO in BOO-ZE! 😂🍺

A MASSIVE thank you to everyone who came along to our Halloween Party at The Half Moon Inn last night! 🧟‍♂️🧙‍♀️

The costumes were fantastic, the atmosphere was brilliant, and the dance moves… well, some of those were genuinely terrifying! 💃🤣

🎤 A huge thank you to the fabulous Shelley Smith for keeping the party going with some cracking live music and disco! 🎶🪩

And to everyone who made the effort with fancy dress — absolutely brilliant! Some of you were completely unrecognisable… although, to be fair, a few of you look like that most Sunday mornings anyway! 😂

📸 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE IS IN!

Have a scroll through the photos, TAG YOURSELF, TAG YOUR MATES and, most importantly, tag anyone who might be regretting their dance floor decisions this morning! 🤣

👀 And to those villagers who didn't come along… don't worry, we understand. Not everyone can handle a wild Saturday night in Clyst St Mary. We hear the television was particularly good last night! 😉📺

Seriously though, thank you all for supporting your village pub and making nights like this so much fun. ❤️

🧠🍻 AND WE'RE NOT FINISHED YET… IT'S QUIZ NIGHT TONIGHT!

That's right! After a night of questionable dancing, we're swapping the disco lights for some brainpower!

🎤 QUIZ NIGHT – TONIGHT, SUNDAY 1ST NOVEMBER!
⏰ 7PM START (don't be late!)
👥 TEAMS OF UP TO 6

So drag yourselves off the sofa, round up your cleverest mates (or just the ones who can still remember their own names after last night!) and join us for another cracking evening! 😂

And don't worry if you're feeling a little delicate… we've made sure the questions don't involve any physical activity! 🧠🍺

💀🎃 THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN… WELL, SORT OF! 💀🎃

Spike and Long John Smith have been sitting in the Half Moon all week, waiting for tonight's HALLOWEEN PARTY! 👻🍻

They've already had a few drinks, told some terrible jokes and neither has moved a muscle. To be fair, that's pretty normal for some of our regulars! 😂💀

🎤 LIVE MUSIC & DISCO with SHELLEY SMITH!
🕣 TONIGHT FROM 8:30PM TIL LATE!
👹 £50 VOUCHER for the BEST FANCY DRESS!

So get your costumes on and come join the madness!

🦴 Spike and Long John have been dying for a good night out… literally!

🚗🚨 CLYST ST MARY CAR PARK – THE VILLAGE'S BIGGEST ATTRACTION… IF YOU CAN FIND A SPACE!🤣

We've got a village car park that's regularly full, parking restrictions that seem to cause more problems than they solve, and a parking management system that could probably do with being sent on a management course! 😂

It's a car park, not a contestant on The Crystal Maze! We shouldn't need luck, a stopwatch and a degree in parking regulations just to pop into the village!

But seriously… SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE!

Bishops Clyst Parish Council is asking for YOUR views on the village's parking problems, including the car park.

And here's the important bit… if we don't tell them what's wrong, we can't expect anything to change!

📍 Paper copies available at The Half Moon Inn and the village Nisa.

📅 Deadline: 27th November 2026

🐸 At The Half Moon, we've heard enough complaints about the car park to fill a book. Unfortunately, we can't find anywhere to park the book! 🍺🤣

PLEASE COMPLETE THE SURVEY AND SHARE THIS POST!

Let's get a village car park that actually works for the village! 👏

🎃👻 SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES… AND IT'S PROBABLY SHELLEY WITH A MICROPHONE! 🎤💃

💀 HALLOWEEN PARTY AT THE HALF MOON INN! 💀

We're raising the dead, lowering the standards on the dance floor, and preparing for a night of absolute MONSTER madness! 🧟‍♂️🍻

🎤 The fabulous SHELLEY SMITH is bringing the LIVE MUSIC & DISCO, with The Club Classics Experience and Soul Train Experience! 🎶🪩

Expect killer tunes, questionable dance moves and at least one person doing the Thriller dance who really shouldn't be. 😂

🧛‍♂️ FANCY DRESS COMPETITION! 🧙‍♀️

There's a £50 Half Moon voucher up for grabs for the BEST FANCY DRESS!

Come as a vampire, witch, zombie or even your ex… although we're trying to keep the really frightening stuff to a minimum! 😱🤣

📅 SATURDAY 31ST OCTOBER 2026
⏰ 8:30PM TIL LATE!
📍 The Half Moon Inn, Clyst St Mary, Exeter

🐸 Freddie's already got his Halloween outfit sorted. Have you?!

So grab your mates, dust off your broomsticks and get ready for a night that's going to be FRIGHTFULLY GOOD! 🎃🍺

🍺 WELL… THIS IS A BIT AWKWARD....

Apparently someone at CAMRA has been paying attention… 👀

The Half Moon Inn is officially featured in the CAMRA Good B**r Guide 2027! 🍻🎉

We’d like to pretend this is all down to years of careful planning, meticulous cellar management and an unwavering commitment to the perfect pint.

But realistically, it’s probably a mixture of great b**r, a brilliant team and you lot drinking enough of it to keep it fresh. 😂

Seriously though, we’re properly chuffed. Being included in the Good B**r Guide is a fantastic bit of recognition for our little village pub and for everyone who works hard behind the scenes to keep the b**r flowing as it should.

So thank you to our team, our locals, our suppliers and everyone who pops in for “just the one” and somehow leaves several pints later. ❤️🍺

The Half Moon Inn — officially in the Good B**r Guide 2027.

Turns out we really might be The Best Pub in the Village. 😉

⭐ The Best Pub In The Village

06/09/2026

🔥 A slightly eventful night at The Half Moon… 🔥

Firstly, a big sorry to our neighbours in the village who may have been woken by our alarm going off at around 4am this morning. Not quite the Sunday morning wake-up call anyone ordered!

Unfortunately, our tumble dryer decided to dramatically end its career by catching fire. Thankfully, it was located in an outer building rather than in the main pub, so the damage to the inside of the building is very limited.

Most importantly, everyone is safe and well. ❤️

We’d also like to say a huge THANK YOU to the kind local residents who heard the alarm and called the emergency services. It’s incredibly reassuring to know that even at 4am, people in our village are looking out for us.

And an absolutely massive thank you to our local Fire & Rescue team. 🚒❤️ Although our team had already made everything safe, they still attended to thoroughly check the temperatures throughout the outbuilding and help clear the small amount of smoke that had found its way inside. We’re enormously grateful for their help, professionalism and reassurance.

We’re now just waiting for our electricians and plumbers to give everything the once-over. At the moment, we don’t anticipate any problems with opening as normal at midday today — albeit with one considerably crispier tumble dryer!

Thank you again to everyone who helped, called, checked in or was rudely awakened by us.

We’re all safe, the pub is OK, and we’ll hopefully see you from midday. 🍻🐸❤️

🐸🍺 FROGFEST: ROUND TWO! 🌭🎶

Still standing after Sunday? Excellent. Freddie’s got another day planned. 😂

BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY at the Half Moon:

🍺 Barn Bar open from 12pm
🚙 Pour your own c***r from the Thatchers Land Rover
🌭 Sausage Fest from 4pm — big sausages, £6.50
🎤 Shelley Smith + Rich from Reckless LIVE 4–7pm

C***r. Sausages. Live music. And one increasingly overexcited frog who thinks Bank Holidays should last all week. 🐸

And we’re finishing the music at the very sensible time of 7pm because apparently some people have something called “work” on Tuesday. 🙄😂

BE THERE OR BE A TADPOLE!

🐸🍺 THIS is how you FrogFest! 🍺🐸

Kieran has discovered possibly the greatest bit of technology ever invented…

A LAND ROVER THAT DISPENSES C***R. 😂

Forget self-driving cars — we want self-pouring pubs!

The Thatchers Land Rover is here at Mini FrogFest, and yes… you can have a go at pouring your own pint! 🍏🍺

Judging by the concentration on Kieran’s face, he’s taking his new role very seriously. 😂

Grab your £5 pint token, choose your c***r and give it a go!

🐸 FROGFEST IS IN FULL SWING!
