🎃👻 WHAT A NIGHT AT THE DOLLY! 👻🎃

Our first Halloween event got off to an absolutely cracking start last night, with Unusual Suspects rocking the pub and giving us a brilliant night of live music! 🤘🖤

But the scares didn’t stop when the music did…

We followed it up with a midnight mass tour of all the dark and creepy corners of the pub! One medium, 7 guests and plenty of horror history… let’s just say there were a few interesting moments! 👀🔮

And we’re only just getting started…

🎃 TODAY AT THE DOLLY 🎃

👻 4pm – 6pm: Children’s Halloween Party
Fancy dress, fun, games and Halloween mischief for the little monsters!

💀 THEN… THE REAL SCARES BEGIN!
Our Adult Halloween Party takes over tonight. So get those costumes on, grab your brave faces and join us for a night of Halloween madness!

One thing’s for sure… Halloween has well and truly arrived at The Dolphin! 🖤

🍲 WHAT DO YOU CLASS AS A STEW? 🍲

A stew, a casserole, a hotpot, a ragout, a one-pot wonder… call it what you like! There are plenty of words for it, but to us, it’s a big bowl of slow-cooked perfection. ❤️

As the days get darker, the weather gets colder and the rain gets wetter (because this is October after all! 🌧️), there’s nothing quite like proper comfort food.

So this coming TUESDAY marks the very first of our STEWSDAY at The Dolly! 🥄

📅 Every Tuesday from 12 noon until sold out!

🍲 ON THE MENU: THIS WEEK
🥓 Liver, bacon & onion casserole
🥩 Slow-cooked beef & vegetables
🐔 Country chicken & vegetables

And the best bit? Just £5 a bowl! 🙌

Want to make it a little more special? Build your bowl your way…

🥖 Add some warm, crusty bread
🧀 Add our homemade cheese straws
🥔 Add some colcannon or a generous dollop of buttery mash

Or, if you fancy the full works…

🍺 A bowl of stew AND a pint for just £10!

Proper food.
Proper prices.
Proper pub comfort.

🔥might even have to put the fire on 🔥☺️
