Sat we will have a team of "Royal Roasters" cooking a hog on site that will be served to the nobles during a grand procession.  If the roasters aka the royal hunters can catch another hog there will be plenty of pork for sale at the booth also.  Cost will be minimal.

Our Tavern has a family friendly atmosphere.  We welcome any and all to stroll on in, meet and greet new and old friends and sit by the fire while we all reminisce of days gone by.  We'll be open late for all the brave men and women to sit and rest there weary bones and sip a little Wassail with family and friends.
