The Nog Inn

That’s right, we’re rapidly heading towards that glorious British summer, and we have so much going on!

So, just a quick run down of what’s happening here at The Nog next month.

We are still running our brilliant weekly meal deals :

Tuesday is Steak Night where we offer 2 x 8oz sirloin steaks from Andrew Barclay Butchers, served with “proper” chips and a bottle of house wine for only £25.

Wednesday is our Pie & a Pint Night – one of our delicious home made pies with delicious home made chips and a pint of Otter Bitter, Holsten Vier, a small glass of wine or draught soft drink – and for only £7.95!

Thursday 6th June- Mirth Control brings another great night of live comedy to The Nog.  Tickets are only a fiver each, and it kicks off at 8pm.

Thursday 13th June – Open Mic Night hosted by the brilliant Ross Kirk.  Starts at 9pm, all welcome.

Sunday 16th June- Fathers Day!

This year we’re hosting an event with all the dads in mind – some cracking free live music and a BBQ/mini hog roast.  Bring the kids along, enjoy a couple of pints, some delicious food and the music – all we need is a bit of sunshine to make the day perfect.  Unfortunately, that’s just beyond my control though!

Fancy checking out who’s playing before the day – Full Tilt and Local Band… two of my favourite bands!

Thursday 20th June – Cheese & Wine Thursday.  Another great selection of cheeses together with a bottle of wine for 2, and for just £20!

Thursday 27th June – Charity quiz night.  If you’d like to join us you’re more than welcome!  It does get busy so we’d recommend booking a table.

Added to that we are also going to be hosting our next Whisky Club (date to be confirmed) – Will is currently busy researching – there are so many to choose from!

So there we go – get the dates in your diary so you don’t’ miss any of our events!  Hope to see you all soon!

This Thursday sees us host our first Cheese & Wine event and we have managed to source some delicious local cheeses from award winning cheesemakers, Wootton Organic Dairy.

James and David Bartlett run the organic family farm and dairy based in North Wootton, a small village near Shepton Mallet. The distinctive black and white label was designed by David and is now well recognised on their products throughout the West Country.  After a year of experimentation the Bartlett brothers’ cheese went on sale in Spring 2004.

So, we are offering a selection of their delicious cheeses with some tasty crackers and a bottle of wine – life doesn’t get much better than this does it?  And all this for the pricely sum of £20 per couple.

Bookings are always welcome, but not necessarily essential.  Will and Amy are always here so please give them a bell on 01963 32998.

There’s nothing more I can say, except get the date in your diary!  This cracking deal will take place on Thursday 16th May between 6-9pm.

Our first Whisky Club meeting was a great success and enjoyed by all.

As a starting point for the club, Will took the lead and picked 6 classic whiskies which define the different whisky producing regions of Scotland.

Will explained a little about each whisky and how to get the best from it.  Probably one of the most contentious points of whisky tasting is how. To some the addition of water is heresy, to others ice is a must, and in America a twist of lemon peel is not uncommon.  However, ultimately enjoy whisky however you want. Continue reading →
