The captain looks over at the one server who fits the description of the run away bond servant, and the server literally opens a window and scurries out into the field. A bell rings and the tavern goes silent, while one of the serving maids sings a ballad. The bell rings and all is commotion as the desert is served. Then a bell rings a gain and the run away bond servant comes back in through the window. He is prevailed upon to read a poem for the combined edification of everyone in the public house. No this is not the magical mystery tour, but a new way of running our trophy 18th century public house. After a fair amount of brainstorming and talking to farm friends, we have decided to run the 18th century public house as public-house + improvisational theater + guest game. All characters. All the time. We'll still have Patrick Henry, and music, but you'll be able to walk in anytime, Summer Saturday nights, enjoy a fine meal, and bask in the glow of good music, great food, and unabashed patriotism! Look for it soon on rileysfarm.com.
