TRAFALGAR NIGHT IS COMING TO THE KING'S HEAD

Never heard of it? Unless you've got a mate in the Admiralty or a phone tap on Portsmouth Dockyard, you're forgiven. Short version: on 21st October 1805, Nelson gave the French and Spanish navies a very bad afternoon off Cape Trafalgar — and ever since, Brits have marked it with a proper dinner, a toast or two, and a bit of naval nonsense.

We reckon it's the perfect excuse for a night out. So we're doing our own version — and we promise it will be more civilised than the original engagement (fewer cannons, more cheese).

• Saturday 24th October

• 6:30pm for 7pm

• £55 per person, advance booking only

Expect a toast to "The Immortal Memory", good food, better company and some rousing songs. Song sheets will be provided. You don't need to know a single verse of "Heart of Oak" beforehand. You will by the end of the night.

To book, simply pop into the bar and speak to the crew. Places are limited, and the Admiralty waits for no one.

Rally the crew, book your table, and let's do the old boy proud!
