☀️ Weather Update – Thursday

We’re making decisions day by day as we navigate this spell of hot weather, and tomorrow’s plan is that we will be open from 10am.

We’ll be offering a more restricted menu to help support our team during the heat, but don’t worry – breakfast will still be served, lunch will still be available, just with an even lighter selection then today.

Today was a tough one for the team, and we’re incredibly grateful for their hard work, resilience and smiles throughout the day. We’ll continue to do everything we can to make sure you have a great visit with us while also looking after the people who make it all happen.

Thank you for your understanding, support and continued custom. ❤️

We’re looking for donations for our Charity Bar! 🍻❤️

The barrels have kindly been sponsored, so that’s all sorted, but we’re now on the hunt for any unwanted spirit bottles that could help us raise even more money for charity.

If you’ve got any bottles tucked away in a cupboard that you’d be happy to donate, we’d be incredibly grateful. Please make sure all bottles are sealed and unopened.

Drop them into the pub or send us a message.

Every donation, big or small, helps us make a difference. Thank you for your support! 🥂

A bottle gathering dust in your kitchen could end up raising money for a great cause. 🍸🍹🍾

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Father’s Day today! 🍻❤️

The pub has been full of laughter, great food, cold drinks, and precious time spent with family and friends. Seeing so many dads, grandads, stepdads and father figures being celebrated has been brilliant.

A special mention to my own dad – the fantastic, fun, entertaining and energetic landlord of The Dolphin. Always the first one on site when there’s a job to do, usually the last one to leave when there’s a drink to be had, and always the first one there to catch me when I fall.

Happy Father’s Day, Bambino. Thank you for everything you do, not just for the pub, but for all of us. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who chose to spend your day with us. Your support means the world and helps make this pub the community it is.

Here’s to family, friendship, making memories, and the people who are always there when we need them most. 🍻☀️
