❤️🎂 TOMORROW NIGHT, IT’S KAREN’S TURN! 🎸❤️

If you know our Karen, you’ll know there’s one thing she’s never been very good at…

SITTING STILL! 😂

She can work all day, then jump in the shower, get dressed and be ready for a night out while the rest of us are still getting ourselves organised!

But the loveliest thing about Karen isn’t how much she manages to do.

It’s how much she cares about everybody else. ❤️

Family, friends, staff, customers… she’s always thinking about someone.

She’s got a heart of gold, although anyone who knows her will tell you she’s certainly no pushover either! 😂

Well, our lovely landlady is celebrating her 55th birthday, so we’re getting the celebrations started tomorrow night!

And I knew just the band to help make it special…

🎸🔥 TURMOIL ARE BACK AT THE WATERFRONT TOMORROW NIGHT! 🔥🎸

We’ll be celebrating with family, friends, familiar faces and some cracking live music, right here beside Ramsgate’s beautiful Royal Harbour.

And when Turmoil finish, the music doesn’t stop!

We’ll be keeping the party going with Motown, Reggae and SKA, and the bar will be open until 3AM! 🎶🕺💃

Whether you’ve known Karen for years, shared a laugh with her across the bar, or simply enjoy a great Saturday night of live music, we’d love you to join us.

❤️ KAREN’S 55TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION ❤️

Lots of love,

Imagine having to be up at 6am…

First thing I say to the Mrs:

“I’m starving. I really fancy some thick toasted bread, crunchy peanut butter on one slice, sliced banana on the other, sandwich the two together… and a nice cup of tea with a few biscuits.”

She doesn’t say a word.

Gets dressed, walks up the local shop, comes home…

…and this lot is waiting for me on the kitchen table. 😂❤️

Crunchy peanut butter ✅
Bananas ✅
Thick toast ✅
Tea sorted ✅
And apparently when I said “a few biscuits”, she heard “BUY THE SHOP OUT.” 😂

THREE bloody packets! 🤣🤣🤣

Now THAT is love.

And yes, the peanut butter and banana toastie was every bit as good as I imagined it would be.

£500,000 raised and we’re only halfway there! ❤️

Our pubs have now raised an incredible £500k for our Make It A Million campaign and every penny tells a story.

Behind that number are teams giving their time, guests showing their generosity, communities coming together and moments that remind us what our pubs are all about.

We can only share a few of the many amazing stories and photos from our sites, but this milestone belongs to every single person who has helped make it happen. To our teams, guests and communities, thank you. Let’s keep going and Make It A Million! 🙌
