An evening at The Drumming Snipe

7pm -11pm

What's that sound? A horse? A goat? A walrus maybe?

In days gone by, the distinctive ‘drumming’ of a snipe’s tail feathers at twilight caused all sorts of confusion.

The Alaskan Nunamiut thought they were hearing a walrus.

In parts of Sweden, it was mistaken for the whinny of a horse.

And in Northern Germany, some were convinced it was Thor’s goats pulling his chariot across the heavens.

Goats!

We’d like to think we’re not so mutton-headed here in Woking.

What we’ve heard is that The Drumming Snipe is one of the best places to gather for a great evening out.

If you’ve dined there before, you’ll know the atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food consistently good, and the service always a delight, making it a favourite for special occasions.

On this special occasion you’ll be supporting local cancer-related charities. And yes, there will be a raffle!

The evening will be accompanied by some gentle background music, but definitely no ‘drumming’.
