The Grapes At Bamford

Waking up to the smell of Sunday Lunch is THE best thing* about living above a pub.
*the ONLY good thing, actually 😁
Slow braised lamb shank or topside of beef, all the usual stuff and probably the nicest Shiraz we've ever tasted.

Having taken our heads out of the ice machine, we've whipped up some of these lovelies to cool us down properly - raspberry mojitos. Even Ed "I don't drink" likes these. He's not allowed any though.

If you call in today and there's nobody behind the bar, just give the bell a ring. We've all just nipped in the back to put our heads in the ice machine 😩
*not really, obviously. That would be unhygeinic.
**we want to, though.

Always thinking of your health and wellbeing. Come and moan about the weather to us, whilst we're stuck inside making pies and pints.

Quiz Night as usual at 9pm sharp tonight. We know the weather is only good for ducks,.but drag on your wellies and pop up your brollies, otherwise you'll miss
Top bants form Alex 👨‍🏫 Top butties from Harrison🥪 Top beer and wine and gin and everything from Mollie and Emma🍻🥂🍸

And the pork belly 👌

This week's specials; and here's the tortellini starter.

New gin! Titanic Plum Gin.
Distillery tasting notes - "fruity, aromatic and fresh"
Staff tasting notes -
... Me: "it tastes like Twister ice-lollies"
Emma: "It's really nice at first but then you taste the tonic and (🤮 pretends to vomit) I don't like tonic"
Alex: "it tastes of peanuts" Me: "Alex, did you just eat a handful of peanuts?" Alex: "Oh. Yes. That explains it"
It's actually nice and actually tastes of Twister ice-lollies. Not peanuts.

It's back! Our New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc has finally arrived, after being stuck on a ship!

Happy 1st birthday to our favouritist customer, Reg! (That's not a halo; it's the candle on his little doggy biscuit birthday treat 🐕)

This went down really well last night - Spiced Cauliflower Fritters, Yellow Pea Dahl, Mango Salsa & Minted Yoghurt

TGIF!*
This weekend's specials are really special ❤ that there ⬇️ is the Lamb starter, and if you don't hurry up Alex will have eaten it all.
*Thank Grapes It's Friday. It's been a tough week 😁

New Beer! Andy loves it 😃 A very, very drinkable blonde, with a delicious citrus tang.

You know the drill. 9pm, £1, free butties courtesy of Harrison, cash prize, top banter courtesy of Alex.

It's National Fish & Chips Day! Having read this, we're going to be launched to the moon 🌚 Ours are better because you get to sit in our cosy pub and get served by our lovely staff. AND you get our lovely tartare sauce 😃

Just a reminder of our Food Service Hours:

Specials this weekend ❤

It's a beautiful day on the Costa del Grapes. If you're looking for an early dart from work to start your Bank Holiday weekend a little bit early, here's a handy list of excuses to.give to the boss:
The dog's got a nasty rash
I think I left my straighteners on
... The neighbour just rang to tell me our roof has caved in
I think I've caught that rash from my dog
My crown fell out and I need to get to the dentist
I'm vitamin D deficient so I need to sit in the sun
I forgot my lunch and I'll faint from hunger
My contact lens fell out so I can't see my work (I've used this in the past, and it works)
Look! Look at that beer garden! I need to go!
There's free beer at the Grapes (NOT TRUE, but worth a try)
Free pint if you can come up with an excuse that makes us laugh 😁😁
