This is a message to all of you who want to watch the I’m A Celebrity final amongst other drunk fans… Yes your favourite pub, and contestant Jack A-GooGoos local boozer (until he was barred for fondling a barmaid) is hosting an evening of Jungle “joy” to cheer him on . The featured ale at the pub is Bushtucker Vile and anyone wearing just a loin cloth will get entered into a prize draw to win a scratched Kajagoogoo CD we recently found in a run-down charity shop. See you this evening! Cindy Carmarthen, Bar Manager, The Blind Badger Pub & Venue

This is a message to all of you who like to celebrate St Andrews Day in style… because your favourite pub is hosting an evening of everything Irish to toast their patron saint with cheap ale.

Anyone wearing green or putting on an Irish accent will get entered into a prize draw to win an opened packet of out of date pork scratchings. See you this evening!

This is a message to all of you who like to sup flat ale whilst watching the best thing on TV on a large TV that you can hardly see let alone hear… Yes I’m A Celebrity starts tonight and to celebrate the fact that we have our own local celeb, Jack A-Goo-Goo, on it we’re throwing a party (well sort of)… It’s only twenty two quid on the door, and for that there will be bar snacks, a glass of cheap champers on entry and an i’m a celebrity themed pub quiz before the programme starts… Featured ale tonight will be Bush Tucker Vile and advance warning: If you’re coming with the family it’s probably best to put the oldies and young ‘uns in the snug as the quiz may get rowdy and out of hand!

Just a quick to reminder that tickets are still available for tonight’s St Davids celebration… We’re opening 3pm – 1am to celebrate the Irish saints day and will only be serving our very own home brewed Guinness. Due to the strength of the beer on sale we are banning kids from the pub and garden but will allow them to congregate in the unlit carpark (at parents and car owners own risk). Entry to the pub will be by pre-purchased tickets only and a finger buffet of Ireland based bar snacks will be included in the price. Dublins’ eighth most-popular Irish singing and dancing sensations tribute band 2U will be performing songs so join us for a grand craic… Tickets cost £241.35 (Remember NO children), and we’ve a got a few prizes to hand out to the first ten punters dressed as leprechauns. So see you later.

Just a quick to reminder that tickets are still available for tonight’s New Years’ Eve Hootananny bash. Unfortunately Jesus’s favourite God-bothering folk trio The Faith Tones won’t now be performing due to one of the members being banged up at her Majesty’s pleasure (again)… As a last minute replacement Essex’s latest Status Quo tribute act Quatus Sto have stepped up, so be sure to wear denim tonight and be prepared to rock out, or whatever you do at a Quo concert… Doors open at 6.30, and tickets cost £95.49 which includes a “finger” buffet of Christmas leftovers. So join us to see the new year in, let’s hope it’s better than 2017 (which shouldn’t be too hard!). Tonight’s featured ale is The President’s Syrup and we’ve a got a few used Christmas cracker hats to hand out to the first ten punters dressed in “full Quo attire” through the door. So see you later.
