Well, it's HUMP DAY folks, and quite frankly I've had that much of the hump this week I'm considering having it registered as a permanent feature! 😂 It's only Wednesday and my patience has already packed a suitcase, booked a one-way ticket and left without saying goodbye! But never mind, we can smell the weekend from here and we're more than ready for it! Now tonight we've got a bit of a football juggling act on our hands. At 5.45pm it's AEK Athens v Real Madrid and Fenerbahçe v Liverpool, then at 8pm RB Leipzig v Man City and Slavia Prague v Arsenal. Two boxes, four matches and me with the technical ability of a teaspoon, so if you see me staring at the remotes like they're going to explain themselves, just give me a minute! Now, before I completely lose the plot, a little word about Sunday. Remembrance Sunday at The Chieftain is one of those days that means the world to us. It's not about filling a pub, it's about remembering the people who never came home, listening to the stories of those who did, sharing memories, laughter and sometimes a tear or two. We'll be raising money for the Royal British Legion with our raffle, and as always we'll let you know exactly what we've raised. And to our wonderful veterans, polish those medals, wear them proudly and come and see us. Your tot of port or rum is on us, as it should be. Some days are for making memories, others are for honouring them, and Sunday we'll be doing a bit of both. Right, I'm off to find my patience. If anyone spots it, please return it to the bar. No questions asked!

03/11/2026

GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY TUESDAY! Well, I've woken up this morning with all the enthusiasm of a wet tea towel, but apparently that's not a valid reason to cancel Tuesday, so here we are! Now, before anyone asks, no I'm not hiring because we've frightened the staff off... well, not all of them anyway! We're on the lookout for experienced bar staff aged 18 and over, and glass collectors! Reliability is a must, a sense of humour is essential and the ability to survive two landladies who occasionally share one functioning brain cell would be a bonus! Meanwhile, back in the land of the living, we've got horse racing all afternoon and footy this evening, so plenty of opportunities to shout at the telly and blame someone else when your horse decides it's out for a leisurely stroll! Now, a little favour from us two. This Sunday we're celebrating our heroes for Remembrance Sunday and raising funds for the Royal British Legion with our raffle. If you've got any unwanted gifts hiding in cupboards, drawers or that mysterious place where Christmas presents go to be forgotten, we'd love to give them a new purpose. Every donation is appreciated and every penny raised matters. Right, I've talked enough, which is unusual because apparently I could talk a glass eye to sleep! The old gal's doors are open from 10am, the heating's on, the welcome's waiting and if anyone finds my motivation on their travels, could they kindly drop it behind the bar? Preferably before lunchtime! THE CHIEFTAIN — proper pub, proper people, doing it the proper way!

02/11/2026

Good morning you lovely lot!! Oh my days, WHAT A WEEKEND!! The old gal was absolutely rocking, Halloween was bonkers, Sunday was a belter and you lot certainly didn't disappoint!! I swear some of you must have shares in the place, you're here more than the furniture!! Ha ha ha. But seriously, what a cracking weekend, the laughter, the music, the company and the sheer madness of it all, wouldn't swap it for the world. Now then, Monday, here we go again, and I've just looked at the diary and thought OH GOOD GRIEF!! Another whopper of a weekend heading our way and we're barely over the last one!! At this rate Tze and I will be applying for annual leave from ourselves, although knowing our luck we'd refuse it!! This Sunday is Remembrance Sunday, a very special occasion for us at The Chieftain, and one we'll be marking with the love, pride and respect it deserves. We'll have a wonderful afternoon planned, but more on that as the week unfolds. Now back to today, the old gal is open from 10am, the tunes are on and tonight we've got Newcastle v Everton at 8pm. No doubt the football experts will be out in force, giving tactical advice from the comfort of a bar stool, usually after they've struggled to find their own seat!! Anyway, best get myself into gear, I've got a pub to run, a weekend to recover from and another one to prepare for. Whoever said running a pub was glamorous clearly never met me on a Monday morning!!

01/11/2026

GOOD MORNING YOU BEAUTIFUL SURVIVORS!! Well, OMG, WHAT A HALLOWEEN!! The old gal was absolutely rocking last night, the costumes were incredible, the atmosphere was electric and DJ Gaz Sheppard smashed it with cracking tunes, a packed dance floor and that cheeky side of his making a rather spectacular appearance! If there was one place to be last night, you lot certainly got the memo… THE CHIEFTAIN! And as for those silly little rumours, well, the only thing they managed to scare away was absolutely nobody! A MASSIVE thank you to every single one of you and especially our fabulous team of terrors who worked their socks off. You were all frighteningly brilliant! Now, onto Super Sunday… HOW, I HAVE NO IDEA! We're currently operating on caffeine, leftover sugar and possibly a small blood transfusion, but the show must go on! It's Sunday, so welcome to your church of choice, where the spirits are still flowing, the congregation is questionable and the landladies are looking like something that should've been buried last night! Falkirk v Celtic at 1pm, followed by the mighty Liverpool v Arsenal at 4.30pm on ALL our screens, LOUD and PROUD! The bar is fully stocked, the vibes are unbeatable and the company is still the best in town, even if a few of us are technically among the walking dead! And don't forget, we still have some 2026 poppy pins available, and one week today we'll be remembering our heroes in true Chieftain style. Right then, up and out, you lovely lot… the dead have risen, the doors are open and apparently we're doing it ALL AGAIN! Proper pub, proper people, doing it the proper way!

31/10/2026

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! Well, the dead are rising, the spirits are restless and something sinister is crawling around The Chieftain… and that's just the regulars making their way to the bar!! Now, before the blood starts flowing, let's put a stake through the heart of a few rumours doing the rounds! TONIGHT IS NOT A PRIVATE PARTY, NO TICKETS NEEDED, NO ENTRY FEE AND FANCY DRESS IS OPTIONAL! Encouraged, absolutely, compulsory, absolutely not! We've never shut our doors for a party and we're not about to start now. The only thing getting buried tonight is that nonsense!! Right, back to the living… for now! We've got Chelsea v Man at 12.30pm, horse racing and footy results throughout the day, Spurs v Palace at 5.30pm, AC Milan v Inter at 7.45pm and Villa v Fulham at 8pm. Then from 7pm till late THE CHIEFTAIN GOES TO HELL!! Flying treats, things that go bump in the night, prizes for the best AND worst fancy dress and a few bodies that may or may not have been breathing when they arrived!! Crawling out of his crypt to haunt the decks is DJ GAZ SHEPPARD, although looking at him, I'm not convinced anyone's told him he's dead yet!! Only joking Gaz, there's a few more miles left on that old hearse!! So drag yourselves out of your graves, bring your fellow sinners and prepare for a night of wicked behaviour. Come dressed to kill or come as you are, we're not fussy, the Grim Reaper takes everyone eventually!! THE CHIEFTAIN — WHERE THE DRINKS ARE COLD, THE WELCOME IS WARM AND TONIGHT… NOBODY CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM!! 💀

30/10/2026

FRI-YAAAAAAAAAY my lovelies!! Well, the sun's got its hat on, autumn's looking rather fabulous and it's PAY WEEKEND!! I'm that excited I nearly skipped into work, then remembered I own the place and skipping doesn't get the barrels changed!! Now I've got a busy weekend ahead of me, so I've decided to start as I mean to go on, slightly over-caffeinated and surrounded by people who make me question my sanity on a daily basis!! Today the old gal is looking gorgeous, the b**r is cold, the prices are cracking and we've got shot offers, double-up deals and enough banter to keep the whole of Morecambe entertained!! Sport on the screens, Sheffield United v Wrexham at 8pm and DJ Neil D is taking over the decks with karaoke tonight, so brace yourselves, some of you can sing like angels and others make me wonder if someone's stood on the cat!! Now tomorrow it's our HALLOWEEN PARTY!! DJ Gaz Sheppard will be spinning his spooky tunes, we've got sweet treats throughout the night and prizes to be won!! I've been busy getting everything ready, although I'm slightly concerned the decorations are starting to look more alive than some of us after a Saturday shift!! Anyway, enough of my ramblings, the weekend's here, the wages are in and I've got a pub full of lovely people to entertain!! Up and out, let's be having you!! Proper pub, proper people, doing it the proper way!!

29/10/2026

Well helloooooo you lovely lot, it's THIRSTY THURSDAY, otherwise known as Friday Eve, and not just any old Thursday because IT'S PAY WEEKEND!! Phew wheeeee, has October had 97 days in it or is it just me? I swear I've aged another 10 years waiting for payday! And here's a little thought to ruin your morning coffee... there's not many paydays left before CHRISTMAS!! There, I've said it, and I can already hear you all shouting at your screens. You're welcome! Anyway, before you all start throwing your phones across the room, let's talk about something far more exciting... our SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN PARTY is creeping up on us! The spirits are gathering, the cauldron is bubbling and DJ Gaz Sheppard will be spinning the decks. I'm fairly certain we'll be speaking to the dead at some point, although knowing our lot, they'll probably tell us to keep the noise down! 👻 Now back to the land of the living, we've got horse racing on our screens throughout the afternoon, followed by Everton v Newcastle at 7.45pm. One's a mint, one's a Toon... sounds like the contents of my handbag after a night out! So come on folks, payday is calling, the old gal is warm, the drinks are chilled and the banter is already warming up nicely. Up, out and let's be having you! Proper pub, proper people, doing it the proper way!

28/10/2026

Well, well, well, it's HUMP DAY, lovely people, and surprise, surprise, it's raining! I know, I'm as shocked as you are! But come on, it's the end of October, the leaves are falling, the nights are drawing in and we're entering that wonderful season where putting your pyjamas on at 5pm feels perfectly acceptable! Not in our old gal though, she's warm and cosy all day long, the tunes are banging, the sport's on and the company is quite simply the best in town! Now tonight we've got some HUGE footy on our screens, Man City v Brighton and Liverpool v Chelsea, but if the crowds fancy another game we'll do our best to keep everyone happy! We've got two Sky boxes, folks, which means two games, unless I manage to master this multiview malarkey! Now, I can run a pub, pull a pint, juggle staff and deal with the occasional catastrophe, but ask me to work a television remote and suddenly I've got the technical ability of a potato! So if you see me staring at the screens pressing buttons like I'm launching a spaceship, just carry on drinking, I'll be fine! Meanwhile, the hocus pocus is bubbling, the spells are brewing and Saturday's Halloween party is shaping up to be SPOOKTACULAR! Just one little word of warning, don't stand still too long in here, we're always looking for our next victim, and Tze's already got the cauldron on simmer! So up and out, folks, hump your way down to The Chieftain, where the only thing scarier than Halloween is me trying to work the Sky box! Proper pub, proper people, doing it the proper way!

27/10/2026

Well thank goodness Monday is out of the way! What a miserable old day that was, rain, grey skies and enough Monday blues to make you want to climb back into bed and pull the duvet over your head! Now Tuesday isn't exactly winning any beauty competitions either, but for now it's dry, the wind is high and with a bit of luck it'll blow you all in the right direction, straight through the doors of The Chieftain! Just mind your landing, we're a pub not an airport! Now the old gal is looking rather spooky, there's things lurking in corners, cobwebs appearing overnight and I'm convinced something's watching me, although that could just be Tze checking I'm actually working! We've got horse racing galloping across our screens throughout the afternoon, then at 8pm it's Fleetwood v Arsenal, and if that's not enough excitement for one Tuesday, you can always have a game of pool or darts, where the only thing getting murdered is someone's pride! Now remember our Halloween party is this Saturday with DJ Gaz Sheppard, so get those costumes sorted, although judging by some of our regulars, a few could just turn up as they are and win first prize! Ooooooh did I just say that out loud? Anyway, our old gal is warm, the drinks are cold, the banter is brewing and the only real horror in here is when someone shouts LAST ORDERS! Come on in, you lovely lot, we're dying to see you! Proper pub, proper people, doing it the proper way!

Happy Monday, you lovely lot! Right, before we go any further, can I just have a quick word with the gods upstairs? This week we'd quite like running water, electricity, no unexpected closures and absolutely NO DRAMA! We're running a pub, not auditioning for an episode of Casualty! Anyway, what a weekend! Those of you who braved the weather and got blown through our doors, thank you! You certainly kept the old gal rocking with sport, music and laughter. And those who stayed home, we don't blame you, it was fierce out there! Now then, this week it's all about the SPOOKS and BOOS! The cauldron's bubbling, there's blood everywhere and something suspicious is lurking in the corners. I'd love to tell you my broomstick is polished and ready for take-off, but I'm a posh witch these days and much prefer my Shark hoover! Heated floors, excellent suction and I can give the pub a quick once-over on my way to the witches' meeting! Don't forget our HALLOWEEN PARTY this Saturday with DJ Gaz Sheppard hosting the madness! Fancy dress, frighteningly good tunes and a few familiar faces that won't even need a costume! Ooooooooo BOO! Proper pub, proper people, doing it the proper way!
P.S. And just so we're absolutely clear, you can walk through our doors wearing your poppy with pride, and if you haven't got one, our 2026 poppy pin badges are available to purchase at the bar. We will NEVER apologise for remembering those who gave their lives for the freedoms we enjoy today. Some really should hang their heads in shame. Lest We Forget.
