Xmas Party Menu Pack 2010.2

November 5th is our 3rd birthday, Bonfire night & British sausage week. Sounds like an excuse to have another bash… Mulled wine, fireworks, pig roasts, sausages, bonfires & beers…. Free parking and free entry!

Wow- Thank you all so much for coming….I think We’ll do that again…!! What did you guys make of it all?

Yes that’s quite alot of rain thank you very much…. I’m assured that its going to sort itself out by tomorrow!! I slept outside last night and apart from the drumming of the rain on the roof it was fairly pleasant- by pleasant I mean tolerable!

The First marquee is up. that is all

So what’s going to be there? What will I be hurling down my face on this rather interesting little beer festival thingy?

The Great British Pub Awards 2010

We have been voted Best Tennanted/Leased Pub in the East & West Midlands according to The Morning Advertiser’s Great British Pub Awards 2010. Pickings were obviously slim this year and the finals are held at The Park Lane Hilton on September 9^th where tickets are £220 each- I’ll see you there…not.

Tractorspotting

That tractor that I mentioned a million years ago is finished and is in the garden- I think it’s brilliant!! And, No, it doesn’t run!

Goodbye, hello

We wish a fond farewell to Sandra Allan (Taggart) the Scottish lady who you all accused of being my other half. She wasn’t and now she’s gone.

In her place we welcome two new guys:

Ian Chambers & Mark ‘Smurf’ Docker- Ian is very local (Like a redneck only smarter) and is part of the family that supplies a lot of our local produce and Smurf is, well, Smurf, really. Your lives will never be quite the same again. That’s a promise

Anyway I’m hoping that many of you will come and say hello at the beer festival- please spread the word- It’s only a couple of weeks away. You can follow me on Twitter- Lionhunningham or join our facebook page

Many thanks my lushious lovelies

Sam
