Matt has been busy finalising our Christmas menu and bookings are now being taken!

Plus we have our Quiz night every Sunday from 8pm, its only £1 to enter per person and all the money goes to charity - we donate the prize - the winner can choose from an Early Bird for two or five pints of larger, beer or cider! There is something for everyone, from picture rounds to current affairs and general knowledge and as it's Christmas we have some Christmas specific questions to get you in the festive spirit and on Sunday 29th December we will have our Quiz of 2013!

This Friday between 9am - 11am we are hosting a Coffee Morning in Aid of Macmillan Cancer Support!

Join the Worlds Biggest Coffee Morning - the more the merrier. If everyone brings a friend and donates or spends a £1.00, we should raise some much needed money for this fantastic charity. 

Unfortunately everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer, it does not discriminate by age, creed, colour, religion and every donation (no matter how small) really does count.

If you are not able to make the event you are more than welcome to help in other ways by either donating cake, cookies, cupcakes etc or a prize for the raffle or you can leave a donation at the bar - all proceeds from the event will be given to Macmillan.
