Just a few days to go until Jaywalkers come to The Pit! 🎶 Jaywalkers

If you like your folk with a bit of bluegrass, country and Americana thrown in, this one is definitely for you — fiddle, mandolin, double bass and some absolutely gorgeous harmonies.

These guys tour all over the UK and Europe so we’re really chuffed to have them playing our little venue in Newstead!

Saturday night at The Pit — get those tickets booked! 🧡

Tickets below ⬇️ or msg to save some at the bar but be quick!

Thank you everyone for my birthday wishes, not the most fun birthday I’ve had but all worth it!
I’ll be back in the pub before you know it!
In the mean time keep having a few pints for me! 🍻
Appreciate you all
- Cliff /Clint /Clive ……

🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BOSS! 🎉

It’s Cliff’s birthday today! 🥳

He’s got a shiny new hip, he’s hobbling about pretending he doesn’t need any help 😂 and, to top it all off, he can’t even have a birthday pint! 🍺

So if you happen to be popping in today, maybe raise a glass to the birthday boy — I’m sure he’d appreciate you having one for him 😂🍻

Happy Birthday Cliff — 51, bionic and temporarily sober!

Not quite the birthday celebrations he’d normally choose, but at least he’s home, doing well and still managing to tell everyone else what to do 😂❤️

Happy Birthday Boss! 🎂🍻

🚨 HE’S HOME! 🚨

One brand-new hip later and Cliff is officially FULLY BIONIC 🦿😂

He’s home, upright, remarkably cheerful and already acting like he hasn’t just had a major body part replaced 🙄

Massive thanks to everyone who’s messaged, checked in and wished him well — you lovely lot ❤️

Now begins the difficult bit…

Trying to stop him doing things he absolutely should not be doing. 😂
