🤣🍻 THINGS YOU ONLY UNDERSTAND IF YOU RUN A PUB! 🍻🤣

People think running a pub is just pouring pints, having a laugh and chatting to customers… OH, HOW WRONG THEY ARE! 😂

Let’s talk about the things nobody warns you about when you become a landlord!

🤣 THE PUB THIEVES – People will nick absolutely anything that isn't nailed down. Glasses, toilet rolls, ornaments, decorations… We're half expecting someone to leave with the bloody bar!

🍺 THE CUSTOMERS WHO ARE ALWAYS RIGHT – Apparently, no matter what happens, the customer is ALWAYS right. Even when they're spectacularly, unbelievably WRONG! 😂

🚽 THE TOILETS – Oh dear Lord! Some of the things we find in there are beyond human understanding. We could write a book, but honestly, you'd never eat your dinner again. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?! 🤢😂

🏠 THE ONES WHO NEVER WANT TO GO HOME – We've turned the lights on, turned the music off, put the chairs up and practically started sweeping around your feet… BUT STILL THEY SIT THERE! 🤣 Do we need to send a search party?

🗣️ THE CONVERSATIONS – You hear things in a pub that you couldn't make up if you tried. Affairs, arguments, family dramas, medical problems, financial disasters and stories that really should never be shared in public! 😂

🛋️ THE UNPAID COUNSELLOR – Apparently, we're not just landlords. We're marriage counsellors, agony aunts, therapists, relationship experts and mediators. Everyone's got a problem and we're expected to solve it between pouring pints!

🏦 THE PUB BANK – "Can you lend me a tenner?" "Can I pay you Friday?" "Can you just look after this for me?" 🤣 We're a pub, not NatWest!

🤦‍♀️ THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT – Too hot, too cold, music too loud, music too quiet, drinks too expensive, drinks not strong enough, someone's sitting in their favourite seat… YOU NAME IT!
And let's not forget we're expected to be cleaners, plumbers, electricians, security guards, entertainers, stock controllers, mind readers and bloody miracle workers!

But here's the thing…

❤️ Despite the madness, the drama, the long hours, the things that go missing and the things we'd rather NEVER see again…
WE WOULDN'T SWAP IT FOR THE WORLD!
Well… ask us again on a Monday morning after a busy weekend! 🤣🤣

To all our customers at the Hoy🇬🇧 – we love you really… even the awkward ones! 😉
PLEASE DON'T TAKE THE TOILET ROLL ON YOUR WAY OUT! 🤣🍻

Please this is just light hearted banter 🫣

🎃👻 HALLOWEEN AT THE HOY! 👻🎃

🕷️ Saturday 31st October 🕷️

Get ready for a SPOOKTACULAR night at The Hoy! 🧙‍♀️💀🍻

As many of you know, we usually have a fancy dress theme every Halloween, but this year we’re doing things a little differently! ❤️

With the cost of living and everyone feeling the pinch, we don’t want anyone feeling they have to go out and spend money on a brand-new costume just to join in the fun.

So this year THERE’S NO THEME! 🎉

Come dressed as anything you fancy – scary, funny, spooky, silly, an old costume from the back of the wardrobe, or something you’ve thrown together yourself! 🎃

And if fancy dress isn’t your thing, that’s absolutely fine too! Everyone is welcome! ❤️

🎧 We’ve got a DJ joining us for the evening, playing plenty of tunes to keep you dancing the night away! 💃🕺

Halloween at The Hoy is all about getting together, having a laugh and enjoying a brilliant night with great people – not about how much you’ve spent on a costume! 🥰

So dig out those old costumes, get creative and come and have some fun with us!

🧡 SATURDAY 31ST OCTOBER – THE HOY! 🧡

👻🎃 We can’t wait to see you all! 🎃👻
