Look what the Landlord of the Halfway House got for his birthday...
There's music and festivities at the Halfway House this evening to celebrate the landlord's 53rd birthday.
The company which owns the pub - 'Not as good as it used to be' Limited - has released this official photograph of Mark Phillips with the present he got from his wife....a 5 kilogram bell and clapper.
"I actually got him an even bigger one" said Clare Phillips, "but head barman Andy's hidden that one under his bed in the spare room"
"Who's got the old one that used to hang up over the bar?" said the Duke of Litchfield, as he looked around the pub and saw at least 28 things he never would have done.
"That's under someone else's bed in Curry Rivel" said the landlord, as he buffed his bell and wondered where to hang it.
Just as Carry On Langport went to press, we received this picture of Mr Phillips enjoying his first few drinks on his birthday...
Happy birthday Landlord....bellringing practice is every Wednesday night at Huish Church from September. But you won't need to bring your own...they've already got 8 and they're much bigger than yours.
