Someone must know something 😱😱😱🦌🦌🦌😂😂

🚨 MISSING: ONE ANTLERED GENTLEMAN! 🦌 🚨

Well, we’ve had some strange things happen in the pub over the years, but someone deciding to nick our skull off the wall is a new one! 😂
Yes, unfortunately, our rather handsome chap has gone walkabout, and we’d quite like him back where he belongs.

We’re all for people taking home good memories from the pub, but taking the decor is generally frowned upon! 🤣🍻

So, if you happened to have a little too much Dutch courage, thought he’d make a lovely addition to your own wall, or know someone who’s suddenly acquired a set of antlers they can’t quite explain… now’s your chance to do the right thing!

No awkward questions, no public shaming (well, maybe a little gentle ribbing 😉) — we’d just love to see him safely returned to his rightful place on our wall.

Please share this post and help us bring our bony mate home! ❤️

And to whoever took him: we hope you’re enjoying his company, but he’s got a home, he’s got a wall, and he’s got a pub full of people who want him back.

Time to come clean and return the stag! 🦌🍺
