Grog Diary

Flint - Live music at The Grog & Gruel, in Fort WilliamSo it may look like there's not a great deal happening. But remember, we're all about serving great beer and mouth-watering food, and not about filling in little boxes with names, dates and events. Let's face it, it'd be a boring page if every day we entered, "Another cracking day at The Grog & Gruel".

But, from time to time,  there may be something worthy of note. Maybe some live music, perhaps the odd beer festival, or maybe something happening elsewhere in the town that we think might be of some appeal to at least one or two of our customers.

So here goes...
