🎉❤️ What a truly special night at The Great Lyde ❤️🎉

Tonight we celebrated one of our longest-standing bingo family members turning an incredible 80 years young! 🥳🎂

She has been part of our bingo family for many years, joining us not just on Sundays but on Thursdays too. Week after week, she’s been there supporting us, sharing laughs with friends, and helping create the wonderful community spirit that makes our bingo nights so special.

Then, in a moment nobody could quite believe, she went on to win our £975 Snowball Jackpot! 💰🎉

An 80th birthday, surrounded by friends, and then calling “House!” to claim the jackpot. You genuinely couldn’t have written a better story. The whole room erupted with cheers, and everyone was absolutely thrilled for her.

It’s moments like these that remind us that The Great Lyde is more than just a pub. It’s a place where friendships are made, memories are created, and where we celebrate life’s special moments together.

From all of us at The Great Lyde, thank you for your loyalty, friendship, and support over the years. We couldn’t think of anyone more deserving of such a wonderful birthday surprise.

Happy 80th Birthday and congratulations on winning the £975 Snowball Jackpot! ❤️🎂🎉💷

Sometimes the stars align, and tonight they certainly did. ✨🍀❤️

⚠️ CUSTOMER NOTICE ⚠️

Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, we have made the difficult decision to cancel today’s Sunday Carvery.

We know how much many of our customers look forward to their Sunday lunch, and we sincerely apologise for any disappointment or inconvenience this may cause.

The good news is that we will still be open and serving a limited menu throughout the day, so we’d love to welcome you in for food and drinks.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We will keep everyone updated and hope to have normal service resumed as soon as possible.

❤️ The Great Lyde Te
