Royal Oak pub to stay open throughout Election night

 

It's not often that the television gets switched-on at the Royal Oak at Bishopstone but it will be tonight. 

 

For Election night is classed as a special event at the Michelin-rated pub by landlord Tim Finney, who will be opening late especially to serve beer and sandwiches as the results roll in.

"It only happens every four or five years and I expect there will be a lot of noise and jeering!" Mr Finney said.

 

"We'll be serving beer and sanwiches until the wee small hours and we're expecting quite a few from the village. But everyone's welcome." 

 

Election night special at the Royal Oak starts at 10.30pm.
