Snowed in in England's highest pub: guests celebrate despite the winter chaos!
In the Yorkshire Dales in northern England, more precisely in the Tan Hill Inn, the highest pub in Great Britain, 23 guests and six employees are currently trapped by a heavy snowstorm. They had set out on a hiking tour despite a weather warning, only to get stuck in this famous restaurant at an altitude of 528 meters. For days, the stranded people have been making the best of their unexpected situation and spending the time with beer, films, card games and dancing evenings krone.at reported.
Weather conditions in the region are dramatic, with temperatures falling to -11.1°C in many places. The snowfall has left numerous roads impassable, making it impossible for patrons to move away from the pub. Manager David Rowell confirmed there is enough stock to last at least a month, including two weeks of beer reserves. He described the mood as overall positive, even though the staff had been on duty since day seven mirror.co.uk.
Overcoming the snowstorm with humor
Guests, including Australians, experiencing real snow for the first time are adding a bit of excitement to the situation. A boy entertains everyone with improvised dance performances. Paul Wright, a tourist from Australia, was scheduled to attend a Harry Potter show in London before the storm, but was delighted with the experience: "It's hilarious and I love it," he said. The pub team has a generator-powered heating system and enough food to make your stay comfortable.
Despite the difficulties, those trapped remain in good spirits. Guests and staff enjoy their time in the pub while the snow plows try to make the roads passable again. Entrepreneurial and with a positive attitude, Rowell notes that everyone treats each other warmly and takes the situation with humor.
