Episode 10 is a proper pub-table chat. We dive into our dream playlists, tackle customer questions and pub conundrums, and uncover the possible reason Gracie is the way she is today (she may or may not have been dropped on her head).

To top it off, Elliot bravely reads out a poem he wrote for Ellie Chowns, proving once and for all that pubs really do bring out everyone’s creative side.

Unfiltered, slightly unhinged, and exactly how a podcast was intended to be from time to time.

You join us this week for a very last-minute, impromptu episode of the podcast.

Due to some unexpected technical gremlins, our planned Ludlow Brewery episode has been delayed — but don’t worry, we’re hoping to have that sorted and ready for next week.

Instead, Ashley is joined by Paul and Debra (his mum and dad) for a spontaneous trip down memory lane. From growing up around pubs to tales from a rougher era, they share stories from days gone by that are equal parts shocking, funny, and unbelievable.

Expect criminals, fights, riots, and the kind of pub stories you definitely don’t hear anymore — all told in true fireside fashion.

Unplanned, unfiltered, and full of chaos… this one’s a cracker.

In this episode of the Drip Tray Diaries, we were joined by one of our locals, Dan Richards - a carpenter, restorations specialist and extreme off-roading enthusiast.

Day to day Dan can be found repairing old timber frame buildings, restoring historical castle walls or some days in deepest Romania restoring medieval fortified churches.

He also works alongside his dad helping to protect local woodlands from corporate greed, whilst helping raise awareness and educate people about sustainable practices and the importance of our rich surroundings.

We learn about some of the challanges and dangers hes faced whilst off exploring the world of extreme off-roading. and explains a little about his passion for old cars too.

Wrapping up with Dans view on pubs old and new and what he thinks they are important for.
