Racing & Events
On Sunday 2nd May 2010 Hugh & Charlie of The Hollow Bottom entered into their 10th year and having refreshed the pub with a lick of paint, new furniture & New Menus had a wee party.
To celebrate they invited three special guests who came to the pub at 12noon...............Imperial Commander, with the 2010 Gold Cup, Bindaree the 2002 Grand National winner & Tipping Tim who won the Mackeson Gold Cup in 1991!
There was also a Bouncy Castle & free BBQ with Live Music starting in the evening with "The Local Boys"
Hugh & Charlie have launched their "New York Marathon 2010 challenge" which they are now committed to and are planning to raise over £6000 for MacMillan Cancer Support.
They would be very pleased if you could donate what you can to their worthy cause.

Cheltenham Festival glory for Team Nigel Twiston-Davies with Gold Cup winner Imperial Commander, Foxhunters winner Baby Run
and Grand Annual winner Pigeon Island!
If our pub were famous for one thing, that would have to be our long tradition and connection to The Cheltenham Races. Our clientele would canter right up to the bar if we let them!
With long-time owners, Peter Scudamore and Nigel Twiston-Davies, it's not surprising it quickly became known as a pub with a racing theme.
When Hugh and Charlie took over, Earth Summit came to The Hollow Bottom to bless the pub then Bindaree stopped by to celebrate his Grand National triumph. We like to think they heard our nose bag was unbeatable and our stables were first class (fresh straw daily). We are proud of our countryside and racing heritage, fiercely fond of food and dedicated to our customers, both local and those trotting through
Throughout the pub you will find a wealth of racing memorabilia including Richard Dunwoody's boots, photographs galore and the plates - horseshoes belonging to Earth Summit the only horse to win the Grand National, Welsh National and Scottish National, sitting beside the plates of his stable companion Bindaree, our most recent Grand National winner and Welsh National winner. There are race badges and framed newspaper cuttings all over the pub, a fascinating archive of history to take in at ones leisure.
