A Magical Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve in The Snug with Santa making a surprise appearance. Being off to the store for cider when Santa arrived I missed all the fun!

But Santa wasn't just there to give all our customers their Snug Christmas pressies, he also had a very special Christmas duty to discharge. He called forward a lovely couple, Andrew and Carol, and presented Andrew with a small box. The next thing Andrew is down on one knee, proposing to Carol and taking an engagement ring from the box. Thankfully, to loud applause, Carol said yes.

What a moment that must have been. Trust me to be off getting cider!

What a wonderful thing to take place on Christmas Eve, we thank them both but Andrew especially for honouring us with such a romantic gesture in The Snug. We wish them, and all our customers a wonderful Christmas and many years of happiness.

Christmas Cheers!

Happy Christmas everybody.

When we fling the doors open at 5-00pm today we will be offering a little Barngates Goodhew's Dry Stout. There will also be Great Orme Celtica, Just A Minute Stoppy Back and to celebrate Christmas Warwickshire Brewing Co's Berry Nice Beer and Wickwar Brewing Co's Christmas Cracker.

Next up Dunscar Bridge's Brewdolph, Bowness Bay Xmas Swan, Hawkshead Windermere Pale and Thornbridge Jaipur.

Have a wonderful Christmas and if we don't see you tonight hope to see you when we re-open on  Friday.

A Bit Rum Today The Weather!

Well we had to stay shut at lunchtime today thanks to the weather. The old Victorian lamp above the front door became a victim of the storm and had to be made safe and removed this afternoon. But tonight it's business as usual.

Great Orme Welsh Black (4%)
Kirkby Lonsdale Singletrack (4%)
Bowness Bay Swan Black IPA (4.6%)

The Snug Outing
