STOCKS OF SHAME ⚔️

Hear ye, hear ye, people of Claypole!

The stocks are built, the sponges are soaking… now all we need are some willing victims 👀

At our Summer Party on Saturday 29th August, we’ll be putting the Stocks of Shame to good use — all in the name of raising money for a worthy cause🥳

We’re looking for brave volunteers willing to take on the stocks while friends, family (and anyone you’ve mildly annoyed over the years😕) gets the chance to launch a soaking wet sponge at you🧽

Think you’re brave enough? Or know someone who deserves a spell in the stocks? Comment below or drop us a message to volunteer📩

Choose wisely… Claypole has good aim🎯

Every pub has its unwritten rules… ours just happen to be very Bells-specific🔔

👏🏼Six little things you’ll soon pick up after a few visits — from keeping Sophie happy (harder than you think👀) to accepting that 12 degrees absolutely counts as beer garden weather🍻

Regulars, how many are you guilty of?🧐

Music, food, face painting, drinks and the slightly questionable Stocks of Shame… 🧽

Save this one so you know where you need to be and when - see you there🫡

Same Sunday, slightly different uniforms…👏🏼

👨‍🍳 The chefs: smashing out a busy Sunday service
🏇 The owners: suited, booted & off to the races

Someone’s got to keep the place running and apparently someone’s got to represent the hospitality trade too…👀

A big thank you to Carlsberg for having us and and even bigger thankyou to the Bells team for producing perfect roasts🫶🏼
