"ARE YOU GOING IN THE NEW MARKET?"
We've been asked this a BILLION times. Here's the thing...No, we're not!
We wanted to, but in the end we didn't apply (for lots of reasons). Anyways EXCITED to give you a sneaky peek of the place we hope to make our forever home 🏡

GOOD NEWS! WE'RE ONE STEP CLOSER TO TBP V2.0
Our premises licence is agreed for Foregate Street 🥳
Now waiting on our planning approval 😔 Our application is 70 days since validation...but the one at the top of the queue is 132 days 🤯!! So, we're still some time off a decision

Two lanes of traffic on both sides in Boughton, reduced to one lane with a bus lane either side? Main arterial route into Chester. Doesn't take a genius to work out this is an absolutely ridiculous idea, does it?

Hey guys. GOOD NEWS! UPDATE! We will be open every Saturday until 10pm going forwards. More details to follow. Thanks for your support 😘 We are overwhelmed and appreciate it.
SORRY! Unfortunately, we will NOT be open on Saturday evenings, as traders have been unable to negotiate agreeable terms with CWaC. On CWaC terms, many traders would have to pay double the rent just to trade for a further 5 hours a week.

OPEN BANK HOLIDAY SUNDAY & MONDAY (12-10) for more beer & cider than we've ever stocked before.
Ok, we cheated. We said we'd tell you all when we were opening but we sneaked a stealth opening yesterday & it was amazing! A few (expected) teething issues but nothing we can't fix.

Far too many no-shows & v.late arrivals for bookings today. We have super-limited space & restrictions on group sizes so every space & every minute matters.

To the 🛎️🔚 who decided not to pay for his pint after he decided that he didn't like what he'd ordered (reckons he's been into us loads). We lost money on that. We told you that and you said you didn't care.

Brewing a beer this evening to keep us busy & commemorate the passing of our eldest doberman, Lily. Sadly we lost her yesterday, after a short period of illness.
The beer will be a Vanilla Baltic Porter. Big, dark and strong... giving a sweet, boozy cuddle when you need it most.

One massive positive of coming out of lockdown. We're defo not as busy as we were before but it's given us space to spend quality time with customers & have ace beery chats. In honesty, an overwhelming desire to pass on our love for beer is the whole reason we came to exist 🍺🧡

If you cared to ask about all the things we do for the beer & cider in our care you may have learned quite a bit.
As you can tell, I'm fuming at the arrogant and condescending approach this individual took. If there's not a personal apology to my team they will be barred!

"BUT ARE YOU DOING OK SINCE LEAVING THE MARKET?"
We get asked this daily, so we dug into the data & got some stats for you...

We 'lose' a surprising amount of our branded glasses to nimble fingered customers. We pay for the glasses out of our own pockets for people to enjoy their beer. Not so you can drink your juice in a nice glass every morning at our expense. If you want a glass please talk to us.
Glasses cost money, small businesses set up with love and passion work on tight margins, you are a prick if you do this.
