Soo much to do soo little time.

A lady came into my pub the other day and mentioned I hadn't written anything on my blog page for ages.  I realise I haven't but didn't think anyone read it!  But there is one person that does, how exciting!  So this blog is for you, my one and only reader. (that I know of)

Been a tough few months since my last post, with trade being being on and off like a light switch but tragically my Mum passed away suddenly back in March, a day after my Dad's birthday.  A fine lady, fine, fine lady and she always had some ciggies.
So with so much time spent in Wales with my Dad I had left the pub in Danny T's capable hands and what a fine job he did, couldn't of coped without him, thanks Dan.

I guess some of you may of heard that my head chef and I parted company last month after starting this business 9 years ago together. I guess he decided it was time to move on. I wish him luck. I've had a number of interviewees but no-one fits the bill just yet. I am sure that the right person will come along soon.

Had our first BBQ of the year Wednesday night and the sun came out to order bloody good timing, I hope the weather holds for Saturday with our first outside music event , I've fixed my gas patio heaters just in case though.

I am staggered with all the pubs closing around Horsham, The Fountain, The Queens Head, The Crabtree (Lower Beeding), The Nelson, The Dragon (Colgate), Bridge House (Copsale) & The Boars Head seems to be a bit of a pattern emerging? They are all owned by Hall & Woodhouse.  How can a brewery allow this to happen?

Still, we are still going strong with all the help and support from Enterprise Inns (sorry I dreamt that bit).

I love you Mum.
