New attractions

The exciting news is we have a new addition to the staff, an eight week old (at the time of writing) Chocolate Labrador puppy named Cocoa, who's proving to be more popular than the Landlord. (Me? Jealous?)


The other new attraction is giving our Aussie barman Kevin some (good natured) stick over the Ashes. Kevin does know his cricket ... and to his credit is taking all the banter in good humour. (I think there must be some English in him.)

PS: don't forget to take advantage of our January-February offers if you're calling in during the week!

The end of 2010

Looking back on the end of last year, I have to say that the run-up to Christmas was rather spoilt by the snow as far as business was concerned. However, we had a great Christmas Eve draw and managed to raise £150 for the Air Ambulance, which can't be bad.


The spell after Christmas up to the New Year was packed, with families out walking and our own Honey Roasted Ham, Eggs and Chips were flying out the door after all the Christmas festivities.

We had happy news just before Christmas with the birth of Oscar Visser. Mum and Dad Annie and Brad (locals and neighbours ) are over the moon and have introduced him to the Maltsters already - it's good to start as you mean to go on!

The year ended really well with our New Year's Eve dinner and dance. It was an enormous success (as it is evey year!), with the chefs preparing some great fillet steaks stuffed with local Barkham Blue cheese. Later on in the evening the music tempted some regulars onto the dance floor to cut some interesting moves!  (I'm saying nothing more!) The music finished at 2.30 am with the last stragglers leaving at 4am. New Year's Day saw us all back for an incredibly busy lunch: we did 110 covers which kept us busy til 5pm, after which we shut and all went to bed.
