Happy New Year to all our customers! We hope you enjoyed the festive season.

We had fantastic fun here at your favourite country pub and restaurant, The Countryman Inn.

On New Year’s eve,  we held a fantastic bumper event where both sittings were completely booked out. We boogied to 70’s and 80’s  music provided by the excellent band, Freedom. In the Poachers Bar, we held a separate New Year fancy dress party (photo above) celebrating country pursuits throughout the ages and enjoyed a wonderful buffet. If you missed out this year, don’t worry, there is always next year, but hurry, you need to get in quick  – even though there are 355 days left, tickets are already selling like hot cakes!

We have more fun, just around the corner. Of course, it’s our famous Burns Night celebration on 25th January 2011. Enjoy a full Scottish menu, Highland Piper and music by the Falloons … OK, we know Papa Falloon is Irish, but he is brilliant and the floors will be shaking with foot tapping and dancing.

More about Mid Summers Day, courtesy of Mysterious England: The festival is primarily a Celtic fire festival, representing the middle of summer, and the shortening of the days on their gradual march to winter. Midsummer is traditionally celebrated on either the 23rd or 24th of June, although the longest day actually falls on the 21st of June. The importance of the day to our ancestors can be traced back many thousands of years, and many stone circles and other ancient monuments are aligned to the sunrise on Midsummer’s Day. Probably the most famous alignment is that at Stonehenge, where the sun rises over the heel stone, framed by the giant trilithons on Midsummer morning.
