Stu's Shack Bar and Grill: Bravely Enduring the Lions Tour

May 20, 2025

LIVE AND EXCLUSIVE ONLY AT STU'S SHACK. Well, here we go again. That quadrennial exercise in international sporting enthusiasm. The British and Irish Lions are off to Australia, and because we apparently hate peace and quiet, Stu's Shack Bar and Grill will be celebrating.

During the first test, we'll be begrudgingly acknowledging the tour with themed days. Don't expect authenticity; think more "vaguely Antipodean-ish." Our culinary "tributes" will likely involve throwing some shrimp on something and calling it Australian. The drinks? Probably just the usual overpriced swill with a different, equally uninspired name.

And because watching grown men tackle each other isn't quite soul-crushing enough, we present: The Convict Dash!

The Convict Dash - Rules (Subject to Our Whims and Your Inevitable Failure):

• You'll form teams. Mostly so there are more people to witness your inevitable humiliation.
• We'll provide liquids. Their palatability is inversely proportional to their alcoholic content.
• At a signal (which will likely be someone sighing loudly), you will ingest these beverages with the desperate urgency of a convict escaping.
• The next victim… sorry, team member… goes once the previous one looks sufficiently green.
• The winning team gets the profound satisfaction of knowing they’ve peaked. Don't expect a trophy.

And for those of you who arrive early, perhaps mistaking our opening time for something genuinely exciting, the first ten through the door on the date of the first test will receive a free bacon sandwich. Consider it a bribe to tolerate the subsequent noise.

So, if you must subject yourself to the Lions tour, feel free to do it here at Stu's Shack Bar and Grill. We'll have the games on, the vaguely themed evenings happening, and the "Convict Dash" to remind you that there are worse ways to spend an evening. Details, if you're truly interested, can be found on our website and social media.

Stu's Shack Issues Strong Warning Against Unionization Efforts

September 21, 2024

In the spirit of transparency and dedication to our cherished workforce, Stu's Shack feels compelled to address a matter of utmost importance. As we continue to foster an environment of cooperation and shared vision, it has come to our attention that some individuals may be contemplating the insidious influence of unionization, led by none other than the unwelcome emissary of discord, Joshua Bell, the head of the so-called Tiny Workers and Teens Union (TWATU).

We would like to remind all employees that our foundation rests upon unity and mutual respect. The recent whispers of unionization pose a direct threat to the harmony we have cultivated together at Stu's Shack. We believe that, as a family, any grievances can and should be resolved through dialogue rather than falling prey to the divisive enticements of a union that seeks to undermine our essential culture and camaraderie.

Let it be known, all who align themselves with TWATU and its nefarious agenda shall find themselves stripped of their positions within our beloved Shack. We will not hesitate to take the necessary steps to protect our community from such misguidance. The presence of Joshua Bell on our premises is hereby deemed unacceptable—he is, in every sense of the phrase, a persona non grata.

We implore you to remain steadfast in your dedication to the values that bind us. Together, we can achieve wonderful things without the shackles of external interference. Let us honor our commitment to each other and dismiss thoughts of unionization, which only serve to breed division and mistrust.

In closing, we urge each of you to consider the implications of straying from our collective path. Our strength lies in our unity, and we must remain vigilant in the face of those who would seek to disrupt our mission. We are confident that, standing together, we will continue to flourish in our shared goals and aspirations.

Legal Note: Under section 360 of the Sentancing Act, 2020, a retraining order issues by Kingston Crown Court, date 15th November, 2024, Joshua Bell is prohibited from entering any and all property under the managemenet of Sutch Hospitality International Trust, their subsidiary, partners and affiliates, including, but not withstanding Sutch Mannor, Stu's Shack Bar & Grill, The Victorian Pump House and Main Pool Complex.
