Live Music – Cat Amongst The Pigeons

Cat Amongst the Pigeons are an up-tempo folk outfit made up of musicians you might just recognise from the Severn Vale and beyond. Their sound is a soaring, swoon of fiddle, accordion, guitar, trumpet and vocals covering a range of folk styles from traditional Irish to foot-stomping Balkan gypsy jazz to Pete Seeger-inspired big-band Americana. We’re going to pack them in to the Sally to really ramp-up the atmosphere to 11! It’s going to be a lot of fun! Music starts around 8.00pm

Last Orders Picture House Launch Night – BACK TO THE FUTURE!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Sally, we are proud to the present the launch of The Last Orders Picture House – our very own cinema inside a pub! Yep, that’s right, we’ve spent a lot of time redecorating our skittles alley, bought an insanely expensive cinema projector and sound system, kitted ourselves out with super cool deckchairs and beanbag sofas and even invested in a popcorn machine. We are now ready to bring you the ultimate cinematic experience because we have one thing that Vue, Odeon, Cineworld and even your Amazon Prime subscription and front room can’t deliver on….EPIC beer and cider!! Every other Monday night we will be screening a classic or cult-classic movie as certified by the Sally Academy of Cinematic Excellence (Pete), so you can rest assured you are in safe hands (probably!).  As well as an array of fresh foamy pints we’ll have popcorn, chocolate, sweets and ice cream to keep your tastebuds as entertained as you will be. For the opening night we’re starting with a stone cold crowd pleaser – Robert Zemeckis’ Back to the Future – a film that needs no introduction so we won’t bother. Tickets are £7.50 each and include a free carton of homemade popcorn. It’s going to be a lot of fun and we only have 23 tickets available so make sure you don’t miss out. Grab your tickets either online here (includes a booking fee) or from behind the bar. Film starts at 7.30pm promptly so please arrive in plenty of time to order any drinks/snacks and take your seats.

“It’s your kids, Marty!!”

The Great Sally Alley Quiz

Remember all those terrible Zoom quizzes you had to do during lockdown? What were they all about?!? No dazzling selection of cask ales to lubricate the neurons, no chip butty at the end and a wonky internet connection that made it ten times longer than it should have been and more like a game of musical statues than a battle of the braincells. Paxman would have turned in his grave, if he wasn’t still alive.

Anyway, the good news is, the Sally Alley Quiz is back, replete with chip butties and beer!

Every second Thursday of every month we’ll invite a different charity to set the questions, act as quizmaster and trouser all the entry fees. There will be six rounds of different topics chosen by the charity, including one specific to their own cause. They ask you questions, you try and answer them. The team with the most correct answers wins beer! We’re allowing teams of up to six people and entry fee is £4 per person (please bring cash for this). Register your team for 7.45pm and the great quizzing commences at 8pm. Let’s get quizzical!

To kick things off, the Sally will be hosting the very first quiz so you can expect a round on your favourite public house. We are looking for other hosts to join the fun so please get in touch if you would like to play quizmaster!

The Open Bottle Sampling Society

Every month at the Sally we get a dazzling array of fresh bottles and cans from the very best breweries and cidermakers in the country from Mills Brewing, to Burning Sky, from Tom Oliver to Ross-on-Wye. The only problem with bottles and cans is that it’s very tricky to have a taster before you commit to buying them. We find the best recipe for exploring and discovering new drinks is to take a selection and share between like-minded friends. That’s exactly what the The Open Bottle Sampling Society (TOBSS) will do on the third Thursday in every month. We’ll hand-pick five of the most exciting bottles or cans we have in that month, introduce them and then share them out for you to enjoy. Tickets are £15 available behind the bar on online here (booking fee applies). Sampling starts at 7.30pm.
