Gunfest 2017

GUNFEST 2017!

It may well have been the best weather of the summer, how fortunate it was on the bank holiday Monday in time for our annual Gunfest.

This year there was a pirate theme with plenty of rum cocktails, sunshine and music.

Potty the pirate kicked things off for the children in original pirate material with a magic act and some awesome balloon creations.

The first band on were  returning act The Diablos who serenaded us with their laid back caribbean tunes.

Next were The Baby Faced Blues Buskers we last saw them at the launch of our Barn area we liked them so much we invited them to Gunfest. The Purple Shoes followed it was the first appearance from this group and very enjoyable.

The Sonics headlined and what a performance! I think the crowd surfing might have been a first for Findon! Better check our public liability before we rebook this band.

If you couldn't make it or would simply like to enjoy the memories here are few pictures from our favourite day of the year #gunfest2017

Welcoming "WINNER" Georgia to the kitchen Team

Georgia has been working at the Gun for over a year now part time whilst completing her catering qualifications at Brighton and Hove City College.

This week she finishes college in real style, heading her team to victory in a Hell's Kitchen food battle judged by Head chef at 'The Pass' South Lodge, Matt Gillan.

We are extremely proud of her and thrilled she will be joining our team full time this month.

To give you an idea of what delights won the challenge for her and her team here are some pictures from the event.

The Menu was....

A starter of Smoked egg, jerusalem artichoke, wild mushroom, truffles, pickled shallots and seeded snaps.

Followed by Lamb loin, minted pea puree, tomato, croquette, haggis, celeriac puree and rosemary oil.

Desert was chocolate work... stout cake, chocolate cake, chocolate and cherry with mousse and greek yogurt.

New Menu, Staff Tasting

With the new Menu just leaving the kitchen, lucky staff at The Gun Inn got to sample the wares first!

The kitchen cooked a selection of delicious dishes for the front of house team to enjoy.

Making staff members much more capable of answering the frequent question of "which is better?"

The desert section of the tasting may well have been the team's favourite! With the cherry blondie disappearing before our very eyes! 

Come try the new menu for yourselves and see.......
