We had a lovely weekend with Jane and Tim's wedding featuring @stewartbrownmobilediscos and The Ratzkins , one of our brides Kerry's 40th with @matildaivymusic singing and then a busy Sunday lunch with Colby Gaffney entertaining everyone. Tonight we have our popular quiz night and then tomorrow we're open for dinner. On Saturday we have a private function but we're taking bookings for Sunday lunch when we also have music from the amazing @n.c.m02 Naiole.

Next Thursday is our next open mic night.

And the sun is shining!

Our amazing team served a delicious 5 course Mother's day menu created by Chef John and the @theciderworkskitchen team to a fully booked restaurant accompanied by music from the 4 candles. During service one of our guests @avabeauart_ made this amazing watercolour of our front of house staff! ❤️ Contact her to live illustrate your event or wedding. 🥰
