Six weeks. One village pub. And a community determined to save it before Christmas…
When Hattie learns that the Old Red Lion is being sold, she refuses to stand by and watch the heart of her village disappear. With the landlord threatening to close the pub's doors by Christmas, she rallies an unlikely group of locals and launches an ambitious campaign to buy the place themselves.
But saving the Old Red Lion proves harder than Hattie imagined. With money to raise, a rival buyer waiting in the wings and her relationship of seven years suddenly over, the project she hoped would bring everyone together is turning her own life upside down.
Then there's Greg. Kind, funny and completely unlike the man she thought she'd spend her future with. He's the last distraction Hattie needs. But between fundraising, festive plans and one unexpected kiss, she begins to wonder whether losing her old life might make room for something better.
As the festivities approach and time runs out, Hattie and her friends will need the whole village behind them if they're going to save the place that means so much to them all.
Can they pull off a Christmas miracle and give the Old Red Lion – and perhaps Hattie – the fresh start they both need?
Last Orders at the Old Red Lion is a warm and uplifting story about community, friendship and finding happiness where you least expect it, perfect for fans of Milly Johnson and Cathy Bramley.
