Glug Glug...

These 'fishy jugs' were very popular in the 1960s and over the years have made a big comeback.  They were actually first made as long ago as the 1870s in Staffordshire when they were known as 'gurgling jugs' and they have an impressive history with a specially commissioned pair of jugs presented to the Queen and Prince Philip in 1958 as well as also being used to advertise breweries and drinks manufacturers such as Plymouth Gin .

Latterly they were made for Wade Ceramics and re-branded as Gluggle Jugs which supposedly is the sound they make when liquid is poured from them - glug glug!

We have always thought they're great fun and for several years now they have been our water jugs for our dining tables in a couple of beautiful different colours.  So next time you visit The Wildebeest, remember to listen for the 'gluggle' when you pour a glass of water - and you can even buy your very own Glug Jug (made by Gurgly) from us as we sell the large version in the Restaurant or via our website that you can take home to impress your friends. Available in Sage Green or Blue Grey.
