Angus Leslie is snowed in at the Tan Hill Inn, where he proposed to his girlfriend during a previous lockdown
Richmond: So, get this! Angus Leslie and a bunch of folks are snowed in at the Tan Hill Inn, the highest pub in Britain. They’ve been stuck there since Saturday, and it’s making waves in the news.
Angus, who’s a chef at the pub, is no stranger to this kind of adventure. He’s been snowed in before, but this time, he’s got a good reason to celebrate. Thanks to Aldi, who sent a farmer with a snowplough to deliver supplies, he joked, “Bring on the snow!”
Just last month, he made headlines when he proposed to his girlfriend, Maria Lowcock, at a big event in Leeds. Talk about a romantic setting, right? They actually fell for each other during lockdown back in 2020 when they were caretakers at the inn.
Angus, decked out in a kilt, surprised Maria by popping the question in front of a crowd. He said it was the perfect place to be snowed in with her. Maria, who works at another pub nearby, was totally taken aback when he knelt down to propose.
They live in a charming village called Askrigg, and it sounds like they’re really happy together. The Tan Hill Inn has seen its fair share of snowed-in guests over the years, and it’s become quite the spot for these winter adventures.
Last time it made headlines was in November 2021 when a bunch of people got stuck during a storm while watching a tribute band. It even featured in a Christmas ad a few years back. Seems like this pub has a knack for creating memorable moments!
