The best day of the year for us here… Christmas menu sampling day!

Someone has to taste it all before party season begins… and we’re very happy to volunteer!

But no peeking! You’ll have to book one of our Christmas Party Nights to find out what’s cooking.

If you’re organising the works party or getting friends together for a festive night out, let us do the hard work — you just bring the party spirit!

Limited availability across all our December party weekends, so get your date booked before someone else beats you to it!

Message us to check availability. Now, back to the very important business of tasting…

💛 A shout-out to our very hardworking new neighbours! 💛

We’ve been watching the team at Shine A Light Childhood Cancer Support over the road clearing, sanding, filling, painting and moving furniture—all the things I’m not good at! 😂

They’re putting so much love and effort into creating their forever home, and it’s lovely to see it taking shape.

Basil Fawlty is particularly impressed with the new paint in the window display, stopping for a look on his many walks throughout the day. Apparently, supervising one building wasn’t enough! 🐾🐶

We’re proud to have them as our neighbours. Please have a read of their post below and get behind the wonderful work they’re doing for children and families affected by childhood cancer. 💛

🎉 Happy 3rd Birthday to our unofficial four-legged team member, Basil Fawlty! 🐾

Many of our regular guests will already know Basil. Whether he’s keeping an eye on reception, supervising the maintenance team, or offering a friendly welcome to familiar faces, he’s become a much-loved character around the hotel over the last few years.

Although you’ll never find his name on the staff rota, Basil has somehow appointed himself Head of Security, Chief Guest Greeter and Maintenance Supervisor. If there’s a contractor on site, a delivery arriving, or someone walking through the front door, chances are Basil has already introduced himself.

Named after the legendary Basil Fawlty, he certainly likes to think he’s the one running the place. Thankfully, unlike his namesake, he’s much friendlier with the guests and considerably easier to work with!

Today our gentle giant turns three, and we’d like to thank everyone who has stopped to say hello to him over the years. He’s brought plenty of smiles to both our guests and our team, and we hope he enjoys a well-deserved day of treats, fuss and naps.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Basil! 🎂🐶

To be spoken in the style of David himself....

And here, in the heart of Sheep Street, we find the team at The Rugby Hotel… a remarkably well-organised ecosystem, quietly thriving from dawn until dusk.

Observe as Zach carefully replenishes the bar fridges — a vital ritual ensuring refreshments remain plentiful for thirsty travellers.

Nearby, Liz responds swiftly to sales calls, communicating with the speed and precision of a seasoned hospitality professional in her natural environment.

Richard, meanwhile, has migrated temporarily for warmer climates, leaving Paula to expertly cover the shifts and keep the operation moving without disturbance.

On the staircase, Kasia can be spotted carefully hoovering each step with remarkable focus — maintaining the pathways of the habitat to the highest possible standard.

In the corridors, Klaudia moves methodically from room to room, restoring order and harmony with quiet precision — an essential force in the ongoing upkeep of the ecosystem.

And tucked away in the office, we find Basil the hotel dog, deep in sleep and contributing very little to operations… yet somehow remaining an essential part of the ecosystem.

Meanwhile, Jodie the night porter slowly emerges from hibernation ahead of another evening’s activity, while Debbie continues her early morning breakfast preparations below.

And somewhere in the distance… Carl can be heard asking if anyone has replied to the emails yet.

And at the centre of it all… the team.

A thriving habitat built on tea, teamwork, and organised chaos.

Happy 100th birthday to the legend himself.
