TAP ON TOUR!!!
How do you lovely people fancy a bit of a Tap bus trip?
How's adout visiting at least two great pubs and a beer festival squeeeeeeeezzzed in-between?
It'll be on Saturday May the 10th leaving Somewhere in Wigston at around 10.30am and returning somewhere in Wigston (probably the same as the pickup point) at 9pm ish. That should give you enough time time enjoy a pint or 2.
I do need numbers to see which size vehicle we will require and if it's feasible, the price will depend on that. There's a small entry fee into the festival which includes a free glass and beer tokens. I'll post all the details later.
If you fancy it an know someone who doesn't have access to fb or WhatsApp could you let them know,
So pass the word guys and hopefully we'll have a cracking day out.
Beer festival is at Pot Belly Brewery 🍺🍻🍺🍻
Don't forget to reply here or anywhere else I'll see it.
Love you all Rob

Wow what a maniac weekend! I've never woken up so dehydrated. I had to crowbar my tongue from the roof of my mouth this morning before pouring a gallon of milk down my Sahara like gullet. My sweed is in good oreder mind.

Plenty photos to share but this just says it all. Mopping all that's happened in the last 8 years! Thankyou to each and every one of you for your support. Love, laughter ( lots of) and tears ( sorry!!). Many, many friendships made in this house and we will treasure this always. Good night 😭

Hi all we have our last weekend coming up this Friday and Saturday we will be here in one form or another we hope you will be too. So empty ya piggy banks as it'll be cash sales only........
Just a bit of back ground info for you..... We did try to renew the contract with the Landlords but unfortunately it was too late as someone had put a deposit on the property already. It was a long shot and tbh we expected this outcome. That's the reason I've been a bit vague on the actual closing date just incase. We don't hold anything against the Landlord as they have a business to run and had been investing time in viewings and advertising etc.
So let's see the Tap off with a smile and some great memories. We've enjoyed our 8 year tenure together with you lot and will miss seeing you down here. We hope we'll catch up with you around Wigston and town for a beer or two. We will keep this running and a Tap WhatsApp page so we and you can keep in touch and organise meet ups. ♥️🍺Rob n Lou ###x
Please pass this onto anyone you know that don't do the fb thanks ###
