Happy Friday Everyone. Did you know that it’s National Spaghetti Day today?! 🍝 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not that we need an excuse to stuff our #fridayfaces with Spaghetti...after all, it’s been 10 days since Christmas and we’re having carb withdrawals already. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our ideal #spagbowl is served with a morishly malty amber ale (Fursty Ferret of course) ...the hops of the Amber ale cuts through the acidity of the tomato and the subtle floral and lemon hop aroma of the beer compliments the subtle sweetness of the sauce 😋 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hungry yet? What’s your ideal spagbowl?

Did you know... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On 3rd January (1888) Marvin C. Stone received the patent for the paper drinking straw. It's believed that the very first drinking straws were used by the Sumerians for drinking beer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In acknowledgment of that invention, each year on January 3rd, people across the nation observe National Drinking Straw Day (apparently). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The subject of plastic straws, and their devastating impact on our oceans, hit the national headlines several times during 2018, predominantly thanks to David Attenborough following the success of his hit show Blue Planet II. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Drinking straws are one thing, but what else can pubs do to be more environmentally friendly? We’ve highlighted three ways in our eco-themed blog (link in bio). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bphallwoodhouse ______________________________________ . . . #businesspartners #businesspartnership #hallandwoodhouse #hall #woodhouse #hallwoodhouse #badgerbeers #badger #badgerales #badgerpubs #brewery #pubcompany #ecopubs #ecofriendlypubs #pubsofinstagram #nationaldrinkingstrawday #blueplanetII #Saveouroceans #saynotosingleuseplastic #saveourseas #saynotoplasticstraws
