A rotating cast, not a fixed bill
The tavern lists its entertainment as rotating performances that include swordsmen and sword fights, belly dancers, jugglers, a fire show, live musicians, acrobatic performances and occasional historical concerts. It isn't a single scripted show repeated identically every night — which acts you see, and in what order, varies.
Why there's no printed running order
Nowhere in the tavern's own material is there a course-by-course breakdown of which act appears when. Rather than invent a schedule that sounds tidy but isn't sourced, it's more useful to say plainly: expect more than one kind of performance across the roughly two and a half hours, appearing between the courses rather than during them, but don't plan your evening around a specific act landing at a specific point.
Swordplay in a low-ceilinged room
A staged sword fight in a vaulted stone cellar reads differently than the same act on an open stage — the performers work close to the tables, in a room built for proximity rather than distance, which is part of what a cellar venue offers over a conventional theatre for this kind of entertainment.
Fire, indoors
A fire show as part of the rotating cast is notable specifically because it's staged inside a stone-vaulted room rather than outdoors — the kind of act that depends on the venue having the ceiling height and ventilation to run it safely, which a converted cellar built into an old building can vary on. If open flame near your table is a concern, it's worth asking directly when you book rather than assuming a specific distance or safety setup.
Music and the room's acoustics
Live musicians playing period-style music in a stone cellar carry differently than they would in a carpeted, curtained modern venue — hard surfaces mean sound travels further and louder, which suits a boisterous group dinner more than a quiet backing track.
What this means for planning your table
If you're booking for a stag, hen or birthday group specifically because of the performances, plan around a mix of the acts listed rather than requesting a specific one in advance — the tavern's own material gives no indication that individual acts can be requested or guaranteed for a given date.
