‘Stag do’ priests barred from pub

SEVEN Catholic priests walk into a bar – and get asked to leave because staff thought they were on a STAG DO.

It may sound like the beginning of a really bad joke but it really did happen over the weekend for one cheery group of seminarians.

The priests were celebrating in Cardiff on Saturday after Father Peter McClaren was ordained at the Cardiff Metropolitan Cathedral of St David near Queen Street earlier that day.

They said: “On arrival, the bartender informed them that it was policy not to grant entry to fancy dress parties or stag ‘dos’.”

After several minutes of trying to convince staff they were real priests, the men gave up and started to leave.

The landlord then intervened and realised the error, inviting the churchmen back in.
