JANUARY 2018 NEWSLETTER

So, it is Wednesday 28th December and I am sat here writing the January Newsletter……. Where has December gone, come to think of it, where has 2017 gone!!!! November and December have been incredible months for us at The Elsworth Poacher, the eleventh month of the year saw us break all records for food trade and Decembers bookings reached over 500!!! With that in mind let me start by thanking everyone for their support through 2017, The Elsworth Poacher is now firmly back on the map and we cannot wait to see what 2018 has in store for us, our reputation is growing so quickly with fantastic Trip Advisor, Google and Facebook reviews, but the biggest pleasure for both myself and Colleen is the repeat business we now generate. Many guests over the last few months have now become personal friends of ours, to us The Elsworth Poacher is our ‘Living Room’ and to have so many ‘Friends’ come and visit us as frequently as they do gives us so much pleasure and satisfaction.

Christmas has been incredible and we have held some fantastic events through December, ‘Quiz Night’ was once again in aid of ‘Acorn Cancer Support Group’, Gordon Dyer, the Secretary of the Charity would like me to thank everyone for attending and raising an incredible £350 on the night, it really was a wonderful evening with one couple donating £100 when they won the ‘Killer Question Pot’!!!

December 16th was our ‘Christmas Jumper Karaoke Party’ (also my Birthday!!!), we had so much fun with so many friends coming along for the evening, a big thank you to ‘Jules Karaoke’ as usual he put on a great show and we sung and danced all night.

Elsworth AMC held a ‘Christmas Songs Evening’ on Thursday 21st December, this was really well attended and was very enjoyable, please remember the last Monday of the month is when they hold their regular ‘Folk Evenings’.

One of the reasons for writing to you early is to remind you all that we have some tickets remaining for our ‘1970’s Throw Back New Years Eve Party’, all the Dining tickets have been sold, but if you wish to come along an admission ticket is priced at just £5 (Including a glass of Fizz at Midnight), I will be Djing throughout the night, playing the best in Disco, Soul and Funk, plus it is Fancy Dress so get the flares and Afros out! We only have a limited amount of tickets available, so please get in touch asap if you would like to join us.

A couple of other dates for your diary, January’s ‘Quiz Night’ is on Saturday 13th and it is all on ‘2017’, half the tables are already booked, also ‘Curry Night’ returns on Thursday 25th January so make sure you get your reservations in for that!

Finally I would like to say a massive ‘Thank You’ to Colleen, over the last few months we have run The Elsworth Poacher as a couple, I am now kept away from the public by being in the Kitchen every day and my amazing lady looks after all of our ‘Guests’. Colleen is a huge reason why this pub is doing so incredibly well and her warm welcome to friends or new guests and her attentiveness make our ‘Living Room’ so comfortable and friendly to everyone. So, with that in mind you can imagine how delighted I was this month when Colleen agreed to Marry Me, we love running The Elsworth Poacher together and to think that it will one day be as husband and wife tops off an amazing 2017 for myself!!!

On that happy note can I wish you all ‘A Very Happy New Year’ and once again a big thank you from myself and Colleen for all your support.
