“Run a pub,” they said. “It’ll be fun,” they said…
They didn’t tell you about:
🍺 6am b**r deliveries when you only crawled into bed at 2am.
🧾 Endless admin when you’d give anything for an extra hour of sleep.
🎭 customer an staff dramas that could give EastEnders a run for its money.
🚽 Cleaning the toilets — because apparently, some adults skipped the “aim and flush” part of growing up.
📞 Midnight calls from customers asking if we’ve seen their “lucky hat.”
💡 The till deciding to have a meltdown five minutes before service.
🍽️ Deliveries not turning up at all (because who doesn’t love a surprise shortage?).
🎶 And of course, the “one more song!” crowd who think closing time is just a polite suggestion.
But for every bit of madness, there’s the magic —
the laughter echoing through the bar,
the familiar faces who’ve become friends,
the stories shared over a pint,
and that unbeatable feeling when the community comes together under one roof..
Tonight...my regulars said to me.. "Lou?! Thank you for
"SAVING OUR PUB"
But truth be told, I could not do this without ALL OF YOU!! you saved this pub by supporting me! Day in, day out. And do you know what? There's no where else I'd rather be!
♥️ I love the bones of all of you. I mean that ###x
Peace and love always
Lou xx
