Nice to read a heart warming news story. Big props to all the staff.

It is indeed, they did tell people to stay home though and I wonder how many heeded that warning and what their journey purposes were. And if indeed their intended purpose was worth it with what occurred.

I can't understand why there has been so much over this one day of snow we have had when it was a lot more and a lot longer last year.
I can only but assume it wasn't predicted well until last minute Met Office wise. Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️

The met forecast was spot on but stupid is as stupid does.

Doesn't take away from the pubs good work though. Definitely above and beyond IMO.

I visited a few years back, no doubt updated now but it was decent then. I'll definitely make a point of sampling their wares next time I'm passing.

Yes, it was predicted but the severity wasn't. They said it'd only be light snow here and then as soon as it started to fall it was upgraded there and then.
