Wednesday 31st is set to be the BIGGEST and BEST Dove and Rainbow Halloween of all time, featuring Night of the Living Dead Club Night, scary cocktails, and all manner of stuff to spook you. We are also hoping the resident Ghost may emerge from the underground tunnel leading from the Dove cellars and provide an extra spine tingling thrill..........

Its FREE entry.......and we open LATE, until at least 1am so get your costumes ready, its but a handful of days away now....

I'd love to pop in for a jar GF but I will have my little ghouls (well I say little one is taller than me :hihi:) with me -

will I be able to partake of a beverage outside?

This would mean that the next line is only 2 words.."silver shamrock"

If you remember, its from the adverts the mask company were showing on tv.

shall we take a POLL on that .....:nono:
BTW you are still barred from the Dove.....if I can quote your uninvited text message (from Mexico????)
"shoot the bouncer with free drugs"
....offering free drugs to my door staff is NOT how we do things in this 'small town'......have no idea how they do things in 'downtown LA' but we don't embrace drugs at all warmly over here.....we have laws in the UK you know!

Unfortunately it will be the same for me I will be probably spending it trick or treating!

For me a great thing about going to the pub on Halloween is avoiding the trick or treaters....

I haven't been in the D&R since i was about 19 (a long long time ago!)
My first job was french polishing and i restored a long ornate clock surrounding that was above the bar.
Carried it from the D&R right up to the Devonshire Green workshop and back again, it must have been 12 foot long!
I would imagine it hasn't survived the numerous refurbs?

Anyway...reminising over, i wouldn't mind coming for an ale or ten.
Do you have to dress up though? I'm a bit long in the tooth for that and i look scarey enough without a mask :)

We have no clock surround, in fact cant recall seeing one here and I first came in here in 1981....what period are we talking about exactly?

It has changed a bit now, it used to be 2 rooms back in those days.....

1985!

There was a clock above the bar, normal size, but the surround was carved wood.
When we first came to look at the job we thought it would be a doddle but in fact the surround was the full length of the top of the bar tappering down from say 1 foot around the clock to a few inches in size at each end.
The place i worked was The Craft Workshop, part of the Dip n Strip company. (sounds more exciting than it was!!)

Anyway, is it fancy dress only?

that clock may well have been there until the refurb and name change in 1993 (name change to Tut N Shive and the old bar and decor was GUTTED).

No its fancy dress optional......
