A WARRINGTON pair were included in the dozens of customers who were trapped in a Yorkshire pub over the weekend.
At least 50 pub goers were stuck at the Tan Hill Inn in the Yorkshire Dales, Britain’s highest pub, on Friday after heavy snowfall brought by Storm Arwen.
With what started as watching an Oasis tribute band, Noasis, the customers, involving Warrington pair Becky Keoghan and Liz Jones, ended up spending three nights in the inn – sharing beds with strangers for the weekend.
They were unable to leave due to unusable nearby roads, partly due to fallen power cables.
Customers were entertained with a karaoke night, a pub quiz and a roast dinner.
Liz and Becky had travelled over two hours in their camper van to get to the pub.
Liz told Sky News: “I was a little bit worried when I saw how bad the weather was, but when we settled in here it's been really lovely.
“It's felt just like a holiday and now I'm 50/50 about wanting to leave."
The group were finally freed yesterday morning, Monday, after a snow plough was able to clear the path.
The pub’s general manager, Nicola Townsend, 51, told the PA news agency: “The snow plough managed to get up about 11 o’clock this morning and cleared and gritted.”
