🎨🔨 WHAT A COUPLE OF WEEKS … THE MAKEOVER CONTINUES! 🔨🎨

Well, it’s been a busy one! The paintbrushes have been out, the tools have been working overtime, and we’re getting there! 🙌

Here’s a little update on what we’ve been up to:

✅ Kitchen painted
✅ Entrance and outer entrance painted
✅ Bar painted (never again! 😂)
✅ Beams changed
✅ New ceiling in the tap bar area
✅ Rooms 5 & 1 finished 🎉
🔨 Rooms 6 & 4 nearly there
🔨 Room 2 still a work in progress
🚽 The big job - refurbishing the toilet is SO close… but not quite there yet! 😩😂

There’s still a little way to go, but it’s time to put the paintbrushes down, put the pinnies on and get back to what we do best… serving you lovely lot! ❤️

📣 WE WILL BE OPEN AND SERVING FOOD ON SUNDAY LUNCHTIME! 🍽️

We can’t wait to welcome everyone back, see some familiar faces and get things back to normal while we finish off the last bits and pieces.

Thank you all for your patience while we’ve been busy behind the scenes. We really appreciate it! ❤️

See you Sunday! 🥰🍻

🍂 We’re OPEN this weekend! 🍂

We’ll be serving food as usual and look forward to welcoming everyone for one last weekend before our winter break. ❤️

So come and see us, enjoy some good food and drinks, and make the most of the weekend!

We’ll be serving food all weekend… or until we run out, whichever comes first! 😂

Then, once we finish up on Sunday, we’ll be closing our doors for a little winter break while we get stuck into a few jobs and give the place a bit of a spruce up. 🛠️✨

Thank you, as always, for all your support. We can’t wait to see you this weekend! 🥰

🐴🍻 A pub crawl with a difference! 🍻🐴

Well, you don’t see this every day! 😍
We’ve had some lovely visitors arrive today in this absolutely stunning old horse-drawn coach, enjoying a pub crawl in style!
What a fabulous way to spend a Saturday afternoon! A little bit of history, a few pub stops and plenty of character along the way! 🐴🍺
Definitely one of the more unusual arrivals we’ve had at the Rokeby Inn! ❤️

A little change to our opening hours this weekend 😊

We’ll be serving lunches as usual on Sunday, but we’ll be closing slightly earlier at 3.30pm.

We’ll then be closed all day Monday as I’ll be celebrating a very special day — my graduation 🎓✨

Sorry for any inconvenience, and thank you as always for your understanding and support.

Normal opening hours will resume after that. ❤️

We were so pleased to welcome Wynne, Brian and all their family & friends this weekend for a really special celebration 🥂

40 years ago they celebrated their wedding here with us at The Rokeby Inn (A66 motel)… and this weekend they came back to celebrate 40 wonderful years of marriage. 💕

It was lovely to be part of such a special occasion and see everyone making more happy memories where it all began.

Congratulations again and thank you for celebrating with us ❤️

Not something you see every day here at The Rokeby Inn…

We had the pleasure of welcoming guests arriving in this absolutely stunning 100-year-old Bentley today — what a beautiful piece of history and craftsmanship.

Unfortunately, it decided it had done enough for the day and broke down during their visit… but thankfully everyone was safe.

Even with the little hiccup, it certainly turned a few heads and gave us all something special to admire! 🚗✨

We do love the interesting visitors that find their way to The Rokeby Inn.
