Thank you to all of those who given the time to read these and repeat parts back to me over the last six months. This will be the last public letter, at least for now. 🍀

Title: The Art and the Craft.
Haigh, to all that call The Queen’s Head a home away from home, their third place.
This is the last letter I’ll write for a little while as I take the social media side of the pub into a reset period.
Starting the writing of these letters as part of the New Year has been revealing, reinvigorating and informing. Not only have I begun to relearn the craft of writing that I had left behind, but I’ve also had the opportunity to use this to look at The Queen’s Head through a different lens.
The road ahead is now tied into taking the love of one craft and applying it to others that I hold dear.
Our recent birthday party has been a truly heartwarming end to this fourth year full circle moment.
Thank you to all of those who joined me at The Queen’s Head recently to celebrate. The turn out was far greater than I could have hoped to expect, and it is a honour to have you choose to spend your time with me.
So, you will notice that things look very sparse on our social media accounts, this won’t be for long. Trust me, this is by design.
A clean slate for this part of the new chapter of The Queen’s Head - our true Third Place is an art piece, one to be worked on continuously over the years to come.
Our social media will showcase a new approach, and feature our portfolio dedicated each of our practiced crafts - the food, the drinks and our community.
In terms of these letters? It’s goodbye for now, thank you for reading.
In terms of the pub? It’s still business as usual, see you all soon.
Slán agat, Go n-éirí an bóthar leat.
Sláinte,
Dave.
