February 2025

Here is a round-up of the events at The Swan during February, 2025.

12th February: Quiz Night

Quiz Night this week was packed to the rafters! It was tight at the top, but Patrick's Posse won by a whisker to claim the £25 bar tap prize. And then, Peter only went and chose the jackpot envelope in the raffle, walking off with a cool £110!!

14th February: Valentine's Cabaret Night

It was a sell-out for our Valentine's Cabaret Night in The Coach House. It was a stupendous night! An excellent 3-course meal, attentive but unobtrusive service and of course the amazing Marilyn providing the main entertainment

Behind the scenes, Micky was hard at it producing some fantastic meals.

A HUGE thanks must go out to Marilyn Munroe, aka Lexie Symons, and to Michael behind the bar.

The team had prepared The Coach House for a romantic evening filled with entertainment, excellent food, and great wine and beer.

20th February: Bingo Night

It was a bumper prize night at Bingo in February! Sally, Amy, Peter, Donna and Emma all won small drinks for lines, whilst Alice, Donna, Karen and Louise (twice!) all picked up House large ones! And Izzy, after coming for the best part of a year finally did good winning not only the line but also the House cash prizes for the Top of the Bill game, walking off with a cool £30! With Glamorous Assistant standing in for caller Richard and our newest and youngest ever bingo participant Baby Astrid getting a special (one) little Swan welcome gift, a great time was had by all!
