Today at Ye Olde Dun Cow

🎉🍻 TODAY’S THE DAY! 🍻🎉

Today we celebrate our 1st Birthday at The Plough & Harrow Hill Top.

It’s hard to believe that 12 months ago we reopened a pub that had been closed for over two years. Since then, we’ve welcomed thousands of customers through our doors, hosted countless events, made new friends, and watched The Plough & Harrow become a real community hub once again.

Nikita and I would like to thank every single person who has supported us over the last year. Whether you’ve joined us for a pint, a meal, live music, football, darts, quizzes, family events, or simply popped in for a chat, you’ve all played a part in making this first year such a success.

Today is our chance to celebrate that journey together.

🎶 Evie Ranford Duo from 2pm
🎧 DJ Robert Stringer from 4pm
🎤 Lewis Watson Live from 7pm
🏰 Bouncy Castle from Roxies Bouncy Castles
🎨 Face Painting with Scarlett Jean-jacques
🍺 Outside Bar hosted by Russ

🍔 Smashing It Burgers from 3pm
🧇 The Waffle Hut from 3pm
🍰 Foodbyluce from 3pm

A few reminders before you join us:

🚗 Parking will be extremely limited. Please use the car park opposite St Joseph’s School or consider alternative transport where possible.

🪑 Feel free to bring your own deck chairs and make yourselves comfortable in the garden.

🍔🍟 Our kitchen is CLOSED today, so please support our fantastic food vendors and avoid bringing your own food and drink onto site.

Most of all, come along, enjoy yourselves, and help us celebrate what has been an incredible first year.

Thank you once again for all of your support, loyalty, kind words and custom over the last 12 months. It genuinely means the world to us.

Arrive early to secure your space for the day!

See you all later for a beer! 🍻

Russ & Nikita ❤️

Hospitality is one of the UK’s greatest success
stories. It employs millions of people, gives
young people their first jobs, keeps high streets
alive and brings communities together.

But the sector is under enormous pressure.
Rising energy costs. Food inflation. Huge
employment costs. Unjust business rates.
The highest tax burden in the UK economy.
And on top of all of that — a 20% VAT rate that
is among the highest in Europe.

On 1 July, the hospitality industry is coming
together to launch ‘VAT’s the Problem’ — the
united sector campaign calling for hospitality
VAT to be reduced from 20% to 10%.

This is a plan for fair tax.

This is a plan for growth.

Countries including Spain, Italy, France, Ireland
and Germany know how important hospitality is
to society, and they know it pays too much tax.
That’s why they already support hospitality with
lower VAT rates. The UK deserves the same.

A 10% VAT rate would:
• Support pubs, restaurants, cafes, hotels and
• nightclubs, and many more.Get businesses
• investing in jobs and helping our customers
• Strengthen high streets and local communities

Because when hospitality businesses close,
communities lose far more than places to eat
and drink — they lose connection, opportunity
and local identity.

This campaign is about everyone: Our
customers, waiting staff, chefs, kitchen porters,
bar staff, hotel teams, farmers, brewers, suppliers
and producers.

Tom Kerridge is spearheading this nationwide
movement, and we are asking the whole of
hospitality to stand together to say Vat’s The
Problem – 10% is fair for hospitality.
