<p class="p3"><strong>Hertford is turning 7 this weekend!</strong></p>
<p class="p3">The Snug in Hertford has hit the magical age of 7! To celebrate we are having a big birthday weekend celebration with &pound;5 favourite cocktails on Friday and Saturday (1 / 2 December) from 7pm (after 2-4-1 favourite cocktail happy hour ends) and #SundayFunday 2-4-1 favourite cocktails from 3pm until close on Sunday 3 December.</p>
<p class="p3">We'll also have some fantastic DJs down on Saturday night (7pm &ndash; close) from City Soul playing the best of house, funk, soul and a bit of everything you like to dance to. On Sunday our friends from the Ukulele Big Band will be joining us (6pm &ndash; close) for a great night of live music! <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/377584252328696/">Follow the event on Facebook</a>&nbsp;for more info, or <a href="http://www.thesnugbar.co.uk/bookings/">book your table here</a>.</p>
<p class="p3"><strong>Movember is almost over&hellip;.and our faces are itchy!</strong></p>
<p class="p3">Today is the final official day of Movember, but we are serving our Movember cocktails (and displaying some of the facial hair) all weekend to reach our fundraising total of &pound;1000. We have currently raised &pound;800 via cocktail sales and donations so why not help us with a final push? Every pound counts so please give generously - pop in and have a Movember cocktail or <a href="http://uk.movember.com/team/503073">donate online here</a>.</p>
<p class="p3">We will be announcing the totals on Monday. Thank you for all your donations so far - they are going to a great cause!</p>

<h3>Our Winter Warmers are back!</h3>
<p class="p1">That&rsquo;s right - The Snug&rsquo;s Winter Warmers are back and we know you have been missing them! You can now walk in to any Snug bar and smell the glorious aroma of a Hot Snug, be warmed to the core with a Hot Italian Cider, indulge with a decadent Choco Banana Split or just get snuggley with a Winter Woo. All are available from Monday October 29. To get an idea of why a Hot Snug is the perfect cocktail for this wintry weather, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShE2WTq2S_E&amp;list=UUriZMrFJcLQY6sBBA71nLqg&amp;index=6&amp;feature=plcp">check out this video</a>...or just&nbsp;<a href="http://www.thesnugbar.co.uk/bookings/">book a nice table</a> next to a radiator right now...</p>
<h3>This November the Snug will grow bro&hellip;</h3>
<p class="p1">No we aren&rsquo;t adding another Snug Bar - we are actually throwing all of our support behind the Movember UK charity and as such our teams will be sporting some impressive/embarrassing facial hair from November 1. We will be updating everyone about how it's all er, growing via our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thesnugbar/app_208195102528120">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://www.twitter.com/thesnugbar">Twitter</a> pages, and if you would like to donate to The Snug team please head over to our <a href="http://uk.movember.com/team/503073">online fundraising page</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p1">We will also be offering some Snug Movember Cocktails. You will see these in bars from November 1 and 10% of the proceeds from each one sold will be donated to testicular and prostate cancer charities.</p>
<p class="p1">Our goal is to raise &pound;1000 through growing and making cocktails over the month and we hope you will join with us by <a href="http://uk.movember.com/team/503073">donating</a>, drinking and making fun of our faces!</p>
<h3>Our 50 Years of Bond &pound;50 Bar Tab winner</h3>
<p class="p1">As promised, to celebrate 50 years of Bond not only did we launch some amazing cocktails that sold like dry martinis at an MI6 Christmas party...but we also promised a &pound;50 bar tab to a lucky guest. The winner was Roz Stubbs (we will contact you via email to organise your tab Roz!).

<h3>Winter opening hours at The Snug</h3>
<p class="p1">The clocks have gone back and the winter nights are closing in, so we have changed our opening hours. All our bars are now open from 9am but don&rsquo;t worry we still have free toast until 11am, takeaway authentic Italian coffee and a full breakfast menu available.</p>

<h3>Christmas at The Snug - just&nbsp;a little bit different...book now!</h3>
<p class="p3">We do Christmas a little differently at The Snug. Instead of a sit-down, formal meal we offer a wonderful social experience with a fantastic range of hot finger food for your group to enjoy whilst sipping cocktails and having a generally brilliant time.</p>
<p class="p3">These hot buffets can be tailored to your budget for the evening and we will let you know exactly what will be on offer before the event - so you can let all your friends and colleagues know what to expect. These magnificent hot buffets start from as little as &pound;5 per head, but can be altered to meet your party&rsquo;s every need.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p3">We also offer our <a href="http://www.thesnugbar.co.uk/menu/">full menu</a>, which includes some incredibly tasty mains or our famous homemade British beef burgers, of which we are especially proud. So if you do fancy a sit down Christmas meal without the dry turkey and sprouts...we might just be the place for you!</p>
<p class="p3"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><a href="http://www.thesnugbar.co.uk/bookings/"><img src="http://www.thesnugbar.co.uk/storage/book-party-now-xm.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1350314955393" alt="" /></a></span></span></p>
<p><strong>Your own area</strong></p>
<p class="p3">There is also always the opportunity to reserve an area for post work/celebration drinks throughout the Christmas period for your friends/colleagues, giving everyone a chance to let their hair down and have a rather festive knees up. <a href="http://www.thesnugbar.co.uk/bookings/">Book your own area now</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Christmas cocktail classes anyone?</strong></p>
<p class="p4">If you really feel like shaking up your Christmas party, we run some excellent cocktail classes at The Snug, which have been a hit every year at Christmas. You and your colleagues/friends will get a chance to learn how to make 3 classic cocktails, using the techniques of a bartender. We will also provide a range of sharing platters for your group and your own personal server so you never need to head to the bar.</p>
<p class="p4">These classes start from &pound;30 per head but if you fancy a true treat, we have a &pound;50 ultimate master class which includes all of the above but with added burgers and desserts thrown in as well!
