The Speedwell is a popular meeting place for viewing televised sporting events such as rugby, football, golf, tennis and cricket. The customers often organise their own sporting events, for example, a recent charity cricket match along with frequent football games (Mennies AFC) and domino competitions. From time to time, the bar offers live music events and additionally holds a nightly, fun teatime quiz. A weekly “bonus ball” lottery draw also takes place. These events make for a real community feel throughout the establishment and customers keep coming back for more. The proprietor has even been known to give the customers a hair cut whilst enjoying their pint – a blast from the past as he was a hairdresser during his younger years!! | |
