Well, actually it's a Happy Two-And-A-Half-Hours from 5.30pm until 8.00pm when customers can enjoy a 50 per cent reduction on the price of selected beers, wines and spirits.
That means £1.90 for a pint of Carling lager or Strongbow cider, £2.00 for a glass of house wine and £2.25 for a spirit and mixer.
It's perfect for anyone who fancies a drink after work with friends or workmates or is looking for somewhere new to bring their partner. Whatever the reason it's unlikely they will find drinks anywhere else locally at these prices!!
And they will enjoy their drinks in the elegant Grade II listed surroundings of London's premier country house hotel.
The Grim's Dyke has a full programme of Christmas entertainment and events to appeal to all ages this year and tickets are selling fast! Anyone wanting to come to a festive function and who hasn't yet booked should make their reservation as soon as possible.
The festive programme kicks off on December 2 with a Christmas Cabaret and continues for the remainder of the month with Dinner Dances, Murder Mystery Evenings, 70's and 80's Discos, Jazz Lunches and Dinners, an NSPCC Carol Concert, Gilbert And Sullivan Opera Dinners, a sumptuous 5-course traditional lunch on Christmas Day, Boxing Day Afternoon Tea and a New Year's Eve Black Tie Dinner and Gala Opera.
Fine food and wine, top class entertainment, convivial company and plenty of fun and laughter are what makes a traditional Christmas and there will be all that and more at the Grim's Dyke this year.

Gilbert's Restaurant, with its coveted and well-deserved two AA rosettes, enjoys a considerable reputation locally for its modern British style of cuisine.
Head Chef Daren Mason and his team work closely with the hotel's Head Gardener to include on the menus whenever possible seasonal fruit and vegetables grown in the orchard and kitchen gardens.
Whilst we can't offer home grown ingredients to cookery enthusiasts visiting our website we can do the next best thing by posting recipes each week to enable them to re-create some of our restaurant dishes in their own kitchens.
So be sure to log on regularly to enjoy a little bit of Gilbert's at home. We would even be interested to hear any comments that you might have about what you cook so why not drop us an email on...
Our first two recipes are:
- 300ml white wine vinegar
- 300ml cider vinegar
- 12 black peppercorns
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- 4 cardamom pods
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 star anise
- 1 kg sugar
- 2 kg of halved and stoned plums
Method
Bring vinegar and spices to the boil, add sugar and stir until sugar has dissolved. Pour on to plums and leave to cool then leave for a 1 week.
- 2kg crab apples
- 2kg sugar
Method
Boil crab apples until soft, then leave to drain overnight in muslin cloth collecting the liquid. Discard the pulp, bring the liquid to the boil, add the sugar and boil for approximately 40 minutes.
