Malt Shovel
technical terminology explained - 'Cask Marque'
This is the mark left on the forehead
of a customer by Steve with a single blow from his
cellar mallet. The cask marque is awarded for being
a prat. It is not enough simply to be a prat. True
prat greatness lies in being universally recognised
as one - hence the award. Some customers have received
this coveted award in successive years, and they are
known to us as "complete prats".
Friday,
19th Sept - A
Malt Shovel for the Malt Shovel...?
Thanks to Redge and Sue, (from Essex),
who found our web site and sent us a picture of an
antique Malt Shovel that they have. Yet another example
of the advantages of being on the web!
Thurs, 11th
Sept - The latest on Kerry's Man Hunt....
Unfortunately Kerry was unwell so didn't
work on Wedneday evening. To the chap who phoned the
pub and spoke to Aussie David, (who knew nothing of
Kerry's quest for a man), we'd like to say, "Bad
luck and try again next week." Taipei Tom wondered
if "Taking names and phone numbers for Kerry
makes him a pimp?". "Yes" came the
immediate reply.
Beer for
Charity....
The Maltshovel's favoured charity is Friends
of Hurstwood Park. Steve has decided that he will
get a mystery barrel of beer in and all money he takes
for it will be donated to them. Make sure that you
drink for charity!
20% off
your Chow!....
In support of the Horsham Food Festival,
between 6th - 28th September, if you order your food
between 3pm and 5pm on weekdays you will get your
food at a 20% discount. Steve has teamed up with The
Horsham Bacon Factory to bring you Sussex ham and
sausages that cannot be bettered. Anyone for ham,
egg and chips? Enjoy!
Monday,
8th Sept Midday. Curry nights to be resumed....
It's time to reinstate our Curry Nights.
Friday 26th September will be the first curry night
of the season. There will be three authentic curry
dishes to tickle your tonsils - mild, medium or hot,
and all for £5.45. Please book early to ensure
you have a table.
(There will be no more BBQs until next year)
Upcoming
Ringwood Brewery Tour....
By popular request we are organising
another brewery trip for the 1st October. We'll be
off to the Ringwood brewery. Meet at the pub at about
3.00pm and getting back to Horsham at about one in
the morning. Give your name to Steve if you'd like
to go....

Sunday,
7th Sept Festival and Sports News....
Yesterday was a tremendous day of sport
and beer. In the fifth test Marcus Trescothick and
Graham Thorpe restored parity (and pride). Englands
footballers came back from a goal down to beat Macedonia
2-1 and we absolutley stuffed the French at Twickers.
Things don't get much better than that. But there
was more going on besides....

England score a try....

We saw many of you yesterday at the
Drill Hall for the Food Festival. Still more of you
came in to the pub armed with your festival glasses
for your free sample of beer. There were eight pubs
on the trail and we were No 4 on the list. We hope
you enjoyed your visit and that you'll pop in to see
us again well before next years event!
Gareth from Beer Essentials advises that the Horsham
Beer Festival on Sunday, 28th September is completely
sold out with 380 tickets being snapped up. The success
of last year's event has obviously made this a 'must
go' event in your social calendar. Those of you with
tickets will doubtless enjoy yourselves tremendously
with 25 beers to try. If you don't have a ticket you'll
just have to get yourselves to the Malt and make do
with our nine beers. (It's always a beer fest here)!
