Hull's belles, it's looking like a good one. Wrap up warm folks, it is a bit parky up here right now.

Can't be there but wish the very best to John & Rose and thanks for happy and friendly evenings of song and chat by the fire. 106 miles from home and yet it felt like a local. Cheers, Richard.

Wish them a fond farewell from us please.
Unfortunately we would not be able to attend even if we were in Whitby because the police won't allow children onto the premises since the new licencing act started.
Best of luck to Rose and John.
Quack!
Geoff.

Please pass mine and Rachel's good wishes to John and Rosie, we've spent many a fine evening in their company and, though we were invited up for the weekend, unfortunately cannot be there. Thanks also to Pip and Merry who kindly offered to share their cottage with us for the night.

Good luck for the future, guys. I'm sure we'll be bumping into you, round and about.

Love, Pete & Rachel.

How was it?

It was excellent. Certainly Maggie and I had a great time, and the other 138 people (really!) there on Saturday night seemed to be enjoying it as well.

For the Sunday night John and Rose reverted to 1999 prices (the year they took over).

I don't ever remember going to a 'leaving do' for a landlord and landlady before, so it shows a lot for John and Rose that they could attract such an attendance, with people willing to travel lots of miles just to say cheerio.

Excellent. 136? That must be a record! And to revert to 1999 prices- what more could you ask.

agreed Les..it was a cracking couple of days with some great music and singing..and a fitting farewell to John and Rose...not that sure about the woman in the red dress and long black hair..there was somethimg strange about her!!!
just a pity I had to go home Sunday morning and missed the 1999 prices!

Great weekend !!! best of luck to Rosie and John for the future.

Barry and Mike are taking the helm of the "Endeavour" and they are following in John and Rose's great tradition of continuing to run the pub as folk friendly, and in my humble opinion the best pub in Whitby.

let us continue to give them our support in keeping music live.
