I mean, I like the rural setting, but I don't think I've ever seen pints quite like that.

Let our first post on #bluesky be about the launch of our #Christmasfood offering. An in-house event where guests were able to sample some of the food that is available to pre-order. It is also a nice way to realise the impact we have on the community 😀
