We’ve managed to combine

the eerie fun of Halloween with

the drama and excitement of

the epic Star Wars movies this

October 31, with an amazing

event for children.

“Kids at The Queen’s Head,

Broad Chalke” presents two

hours of intergalactic activi-

ties including a Star-Wars

themed tea to set our

younger guests up for an

evening of trick or treating

and Halloween happenings.

From 4-6pm, they will be

able get starry-eyed as they

meet Luke Skywalker, Han

Solo, Princess Leia and C-3P0 and get

spooked by the evil Sith Lord, Darth Vader.

Partygoers can also dance with R2-D2 and try

to get him to follow their commands.

The special tea, which is fit to sate the appetite

of a Jedi Knight, features Tusken Raider Ta-

ters, Han-burgers, Obi-Wan Kebabs and Boba

Fett-uccine followed by some Jabba Jiggle and

Wookie Cookies, all washed

down with Yoda Soda!

There will also be Halloween

crafts, a Star War quiz with

prizes and a goody bag to

take home.

Tickets to this sensational

party cost just £15, but

places are limited so reserve

a place soon to avoid disap-

pointment. Bookings are

being taken with a £5 non-

refundable deposit - a spe-

cial, fun homework assign-

ment will be provided with

the ticket.

And we’ve also got some-

thing for the grown-ups this Halloween: we are

hosting a karaoke evening in the evening.

Dressing up - in Stars Wars outfits or some-

thing more traditionally ghoulish - is optional,

although we will be awarding a prize for the

best costume.

●Just a reminder that we are now open all day,

every day, including breakfast (served 8-10am).

Volume 3, Issue 6

October 2015

This year we will once again be extending a warm,

wintertime welcome to those who want to let us

take the stress out of the Christmas Day cooking

with our delicious lunch (noon-3pm). Priced at

£59.95, it features a welcome drink, plus four

courses with dishes to suit all tastes, including

traditional turkey with all the trimmings.

There are also some special party menus for the

run-up to Christmas, which offer a fantastic op-

portunity to those wanting to catch up with

friends, family or colleagues for a seasonal cele-

bration. Prices are £19.95 for two courses and

£24.95 for three. £10 deposits per head are re-

quired. Children’s meals cost half the price of

adult menus.

We’re also planning a great New Year’s Eve

event with a tasty buffet plus entertainment to get

you in the party mood for seeing in 2016. More

information will follow, but let us know if you want

to be kept up to date with our plans.

If you want to know why we have a Discworld

Baron in the pub, pop in and find out about

this tribute to our late, great neighbour - and

Queen’s Head regular - Sir Terry Pratchett.

In our newsletters we like to highlight different

Badger-branded beers produced by Blandford-

based brewers Hall & Woodhouse. This time, we

focus on a new seasonal ale, Glorious Game,

whose launched is timed to coincide with the

Rugby World Cup and Cask Ale Week (September

24 - October 4 - technically more than a week, but

when it comes to good ale, who’s counting?).

The ale is the result of a collaboration between the

Hall & Woodhouse brewing team and Slovenian

hop farmers. It combines British and European

malt styles with a trio of Slovenian hops: aromatic,

pine-like Dana and Bobek, plus citrusy Celeia to

give a refreshing ale that’s full of character.

Here’s our at-a-glance guide, but if you want to

try before you buy, ask for a sample at the bar:

Colour Golden

ABV 3.8%

A good match for…a Thai curry or hand-cured

meats

Availability October to November as a cask ale
