After 15 unforgettable years, it’ll be time for Kev & Caz to hand over the keys to The Spotted Dog in June ❤️🐾
In the time they’ve been here, we’ve lived through:
England winning the 2011 Six Nations, the glorious 2016 Grand Slam, a Rugby World Cup final, multiple football heartbreaks, “it’s coming home” almost coming home, penalty shoot-out trauma, semi-finals, finals, and enough VAR controversy to last a lifetime… all watched with a pint in hand at the bar.
But far more importantly than sport…
The Spotted Dog became so much more than a pub.
It became family.
Kev & Caz have watched their two boys grow up within these four walls, seen friendships turn into marriages, watched customers become parents, and now are seeing those same families prepare to welcome little ones of their own.
They’ve shared laughter, tears, celebrations, hangovers, Sunday roasts, Christmases, lock-ins (the legal kind, obviously 👀), and sadly said goodbye to some truly beloved faces along the way.
They have loved every second of meeting so many incredible people and making friendships for life.
To watch this pub grow year after year — and become #1 on TripAdvisor for Sunday Roasts in Berkshire — has made them prouder than words can say.
Thank you to everyone who has walked through the doors, pulled up a stool, shared a story, and helped make The Spotted Dog what it is today.
To celebrate these incredible 15 years, we’ll be having a farewell party on the 27th of June and would love all of our lovely customers to join us for one final celebration 🍻❤️
From the bottom of our hearts:
Thank you for 15 amazing years
For the memories
For the friendship
For the family
Once a Spotted Dogger, always a Spotted Dogger
With love
Kev, Caz, Harrison, Carter and the favourite child… Barnaby x
