September is upon us and we’ve got a bag load of live music events coming up - every weekend there’s something to have a boogie too alongside book club & games night at the end of the month.

It’s looking like roasts will start on the last Sunday in September 👌

Realised we’ve not posted any food snaps on here for a while & it’s a dam shame as Ethan who’s been in the kitchen for the past six months has worked wonders on the pans - sadly he’s off to do a ski season.

However he’s left us with the mightiest steak sandwich on Earth - I doubt it will be going anywhere from the menu for a while.

We use Ribeye in a ciabatta and pair it up with caramelised onions & mustard Mayo + a bit of Parmesan - divine 👌

Cheers Ethan see you in the Spring 😉

What a weekend - thanks to every who turned out on Friday, Sat & Sun.

We spend ages organising events like this and never really know if anyone will turn up - so very humbling to know it’s appreciated. The place came alive over the weekend, one big party - just how we like it 😃

Big thanks to the whole team for putting a massive shift in over the weekend especially Ruby Bienek for getting it looking & sounding great

Here’s a few silly snaps of what went on!

Bit of a rest for us now, we’ll be closing on Sundays for the rest of August & a bit of September
