Wow — thank you! 🥳

The Knowes social page has been really busy over the last 7 days . 😂🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

📊 1.1 Million views in just one week 🤩

We’ve had a very lively time of it, but it’s been brilliant to see so many of you stopping by, liking, commenting and showing your support.
The amount of private messages has been unreal too ❤️
Whether you were here for the politics chat, the jokes, the long-service celebrations, or just the food photos… thank you!

We’re here doing what we do best — serving great local food and drinks and a warm welcome to everyone. Hospitality is what we do 🥰
See you soon! 👋

10 Year Service Award 🥳🥂😊

We’re delighted to celebrate Scott and Fiona who have now both reached significant service milestones with us — and they’ve picked quite the week to be honoured after our unexpectedly “lively”social media inbox ! 😂

Scott and Fiona have been with us from the very beginning — starting at DHR when we launched Restaurant Nineteen, and then moving with us to The Knowes Hotel & Restaurant 8.5 years ago !

Fiona joined us on our very first day of trading (initially as a customer who came in for her lunch and got drafted in to help in the restaurant and kitchen!) and has been a rock ever since. She understands this industry and is always there when we need extra support — even out of hours. Thank you Fiona ! ❤️

Scott brings 35 years of experience, dedication and old-school craftsmanship to the kitchen. He’s a chef who takes real pride in his work, gets on with everyone, and has been a huge part of our journey since 2016. Thank you Scott 💙

After a week of politics , it’s been brilliant to focus on the people who turn up week in week out and show commitment and pride to serve our wonderful customers! That’s what hospitality is all about 🥰

Please join us in congratulating Scott and Fiona on their fantastic service — here’s to many more years 🥂🍹🥳

Humour post ….😀

Honestly how silly has it all gotten ! Businesses closing all over the uk 🤷‍♂️

Just saw someone calling for a boycott of Tesco because a Reform candidate was spotted buying milk there 😆

Pal … if we’re boycotting every shop where any party candidate shops, we’re all gonna be foraging in the woods like medieval peasants🤣

Wait, that Lib Dem bought bread at Morrisons? 😆
‘
SNP councillor got petrol at Asda? Shut it down!’😆

Labour candidate in Boots for paracetamol? Corporate enemy!’🤣

“I’m not supporting that football team now, that politician supports them 🤦‍♂️”

Come on folks I can hardly get my fish from the field across the road 🤷‍♂️🤣🤣

Politics is silly enough without turning every business into a protest. Touch grass (but only if no candidate has mowed that lawn”🙄

Next up: boycotting the air because politicians breathe it 😂😂

“Businesses all over are trying to survive , let
them thrive !

They all support your local economy and beyond . Support them all 🥰

Keep us out of it and other businesses!

Thanks
Wayne 🤓
