PAUS Bonfire Night, Thursday 6th November
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔥 Extra fire, no bangs..... join us for a peaceful Bonfire Night - where we honour the tradition without the loud bangs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Those sudden, unpredictable bangs are terrifying for dogs — their hearing is far more sensitive than ours, and what sounds like a celebration to us, feels like danger to them. Many panic, bolt from gardens, or tremble for hours after the noise stops.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔥 We will light our tranquil PAUS Bonfire at 6pm, which you can watch from the warmth of your Hot Tub or from the Hilltop Bistro.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The best bathing sessions to book are:
⏰ 4-7pm or 5-8pm for Hot Tub Bathing Passes
or
⏰ 5-7pm or 6-8pm for Sauna Bathing Passes
( Ice O’clock is at 5pm)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍕Fireside Pizza is served in the Bistro from 5:30pm - 8pm

🔥 Join us for a peaceful PAUS Bonfire Night, next Thursday 6th November. ..
EXTRA FIRE. NO BANGS!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🦅 Fireworks disturb birds, hedgehogs, deer and foxes deeply. A single sudden explosion can send them fleeing in panic — many collide with obstacles, becoming injured or worse; some tiny hearts simply stop in deadly fright.

Wind & rain blows the cobwebs away

👍Don’t let the Met Office scare you away — we’re in one of those lucky corners of the country where the weather is usually much gentler than forecast.

💪 Moreover, we’re experts at keeping you safe and cosy, whatever the skies are doing — and after years of hearing guests delight in how invigorating it is in the rain, we’ve come to call it The Perfect PAUS weather!

🧡 Our steaming hot tubs offer unspoiled countryside views, which makes the whole experience beautifully atmospheric in the rain.

🧡 Of course, there are covered areas too: the changing cabins, saunas, and our Hilltop Bistro.

☝️ The only weather we truly pause for is lightning. We monitor storm activity on three separate apps, and if a stroke is detected within 10 miles of PAUS, we’ll ask everyone to retreat briefly to the saunas or Bistro until it passes — usually just around 15 minutes.

And yes, we’re open (almost!) all year:
🎄A short annual break at Christmas
🛠️ A maintenance pause every
February
😉 Otherwise, Thursday-Sunday, week
in, week out.

A truly authentic Central European heritage dish…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Due to very popular demand, our family recipe Segedin will return as a special on the menu this weekend!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A family heirloom, using Alexandra’s mum’s recipe — cooked with the same love as our favourite Hungarian Goulash — expect a warm, comforting stew of pork, sauerkraut & cream, finished with a swirl of sour cream.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❤️ And if gets as many compliments as it did last week, this timeless classic might just earn pride of place on our Winter menu…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the full Central European experience, pair it with a cool pint of Czech original or a glass of our delicious Slovakian white wine . 🍻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤍 Enjoy before or after a bathing session, or you are welcome to book to just come to our Hilltop Bistro - booking links in bio (or call us and we will always do our best to accommodate you!).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💙 Our Daytime Menu is served from:
12pm - 5pm on Thursdays & Fridays (Fireside pizza from 5:30pm - 8:15pm)
12pm - 5:30pm on Saturdays & Sundays

Reasons to love the darker evenings...🌓

Our Hilltop transforms by night — and it’s quite the special atmosphere…

The stillness of the sauna
The twinkling of the lights
The gentle steam rising from the hot tubs
The sound of a crackling fire
The simple joy of dining by candlelight

If you’re looking to decompress, rest your eyes, release tired muscles, slow down and sleep more deeply - this is the place to embrace the night skies, whether solo or with your friends.

On Thursdays & Fridays, Hilltop Bathing sessions run until 8pm, and fireside pizza served in the Hilltop Bistro from 5:30pm - 8pm.

✨ Booking ahead is recommended, find the links in our bio to book.
