“Oh Thursday night, the week’s old friend, When work and woes begin to end. At The Wellington, the faithful flock, To test their brains and beat the clock. And there she stood — the quiz queen gemma, But no, not Gemma… our legend EMMA! With question sheets and mic in hand, She ruled that pub like trivia land. From general knowledge to music scores, From capital cities to dinosaur wars, She fired off rounds both fierce and fair, While pints and laughter filled the air. The tables buzzed, the pencils flew, As Emma grinned — “Right, round two!” A sports one next, we all went blank, (Except old Dave — he’s basically a tank). “Oh dear,” she said with a cheeky grin, “Guess again, you might just win!” And somehow, through the hazy din, We found our luck — a quiz-night win! The picture round? A test of sight! “That’s Boris… or is it Dwight?” The room went mad, confusion spread, (We wrote “Shrek” — close enough, we said). The music round — what a delight! From ABBA gold to Blur’s “Parklife.” Half the pub began to sing, And The Wellington walls did almost ring! Emma’s timing — sharp, precise, Her banter warm, her jokes concise. “You’re wrong — but close,” she’d sweetly tease, And somehow make defeat a breeze. Each score announced, suspense ran high, The losing team still aimed for pie. The winners cheered, the rest said “next week!” For Emma’s quiz is far from bleak. The beer was cold, the chips were hot, The laughter thick — we drank the lot! And in that pub, beneath its beams, We lived the Thursday quizzer’s dreams. So here’s to Emma, bright and bold, Whose quiz nights never once grow old. The Wellington thrives because she’s there — With humour, heart, and trivia flair. So if you’re free next Thursday eve, Don’t you dare think of trying to leave! Grab a pint, a pal, a pen — And join the best night ever again. For Thursday’s crown at The Wellington, Belongs to one — and only Emma-ton! (Alright, that rhyme was quite a stretch, But Emma’s quiz? The perfect catch!) ⭐ Verdict: Five stars, no doubt — she’s queen of the night, With brains, charm, and pure delight. The Wellington’s quiz is the week’s best treasure, Thanks to Emma — our host of pleasure!”

“We had our wedding here on the bank holiday weekend in May and I can honestly say from the moment we booked the marquee everything has been great. Amy was so great with us, always on hand via email to respond to any questions or queries and was so accommodating for us aswell. The big day came and I can’t fault them! They set up all the decorations just how I wanted it. The food was sooo yummy and our guests also said the same. It was the most relaxed beautiful day we could have ever hoped for. The staff were all amazing and the service was great. Nothing was too much. A wonderful atmosphere and we had the best day ever just gutted we can’t go back and do it again. Thank you all so much! You made our day so memorable xx”
