Tina said: “I’m sure my customers will welcome the reduction in prices, especially at the start of the year.”
“Department stores and shops hold their sales in January and I believe that given the choice of a trip to a sale at the shops or a sale at The Sweyn Forkbeard, most people would prefer a visit to the pub.”
She added: “As always, we will serve customers responsibly.”
