More than 30 people are stranded at Britain's highest pub, the Tan Hill Inn in North Yorkshire, after heavy snowfall. Customers and staff got snowed in on Saturday night and remain cut off despite the Met Office issuing amber warnings of snow.
More than 30 people remained stuck at Britain's highest pub on Monday after they got snowed in. The Tan Hill Inn in North Yorkshire is 528 metres (1,732 ft) above sea level, and customers who trekked there managed to get stranded at the world-famous boozer. Despite the Met Office issuing amber warnings of snow, 32 guests attended the pub on Saturday night and have remained cut off ever since, along with six staff who were on duty at the time.
It comes as temperatures fell to -11C in some parts of the country and the Met Office and UK Health Security Agency issued amber 'danger to life' alerts ahead of the blizzards. The pub, which also operates seven guest rooms, previously made global headlines in 2021 when 50 people got stuck in the pub after watching an Oasis tribute band. Manager David Rowell, 43, said: “Staff are a little tired, but other than that it’s all right. The staff that are currently here, this is day seven for them working here. This will be their third day stuck. “I’ve managed to avoid snow-ins in the past, but it’s caught up with us eventually, so it’s my turn this time. “We have three real fires, and obviously we run off a generator so the heating is on ‘constant’ at the moment.” The pub's electric power comes from a generator and there is enough food for about a month. Plus around two week's worth of beer. Customers have kept themselves entertained by playing cards and board games, and a young boy performed improvised dance routines to the group he was travelling with. Australian tourists Paul and Naomi Wright were expecting to be watching Harry Potter on London’s West End as part of their three-week holiday visiting family in the UK. But instead, they are still stuck in the inn and remain uncertain they’ll make their flight home on Saturday. Paul, from Katherine in the Northern Territory, said he had never seen real snow before his holiday - with temperatures at home at around 30°
