    Laura’s Tractor Run
    This year’s route on the 17th May is looking a bit different – we’re planning to pass through some new villages we’ve not visited before, and we might even make our way through a small town that has a link to one of our chosen charities.

    More details to come soon once everything’s confirmed… but it’s already shaping up to be a good one.

  • Jan’s Silver Jubilee

    Jan’s Silver Jubilee
    11th April – 7pm onwards. Can we drink this pub dry? Challenge accepted Tysoe…

    25 years ago Jan arrived as the new landlady at the Peacock… the rural community was in the throes of a foot and mouth outbreak, and since then an awful lot has happened, Jan has seen it all. As the resident Tysoe social oracle whilst running a traditional #wetpub concentrating on delivering excellent well-kept ales and lagers Jan has become a stalwart in the village.

    25 years in Tysoe (and a lifetime in hospitality before that) is not to be sniffed at, especially in these challenging times. Join us on the 11th of April at the Peacock Inn to celebrate a job well done – because we all need a reason to kick back and forget the world beyond our wonderful village.
