⚽ WEEKEND ACCUMULATOR ALERT ⚽ Forget backing the early kick-off. This is the safest treble you'll see all weekend... 🎤 FRIDAY – Siobhan Olivia (8PM) 🕺 SATURDAY – The Double Dekkers (8PM) 🎸 SUNDAY – MetSon (4PM) Three fixtures. Three quality performances. One legendary venue. The bookies have suspended betting after reports that this weekend is an absolute banker. No VAR controversy. No 95th-minute heartbreak. No manager getting sacked before Monday morning. Just wall-to-wall live music, great drinks and an atmosphere that'll have more bounce than the away end after a last-minute winner. Get down to Shield & Dagger and complete the easiest treble of the year. 🍻⚽🎶

❗️⚽️🏆 THE WORLD CUP IS COMING… AND SO ARE THE HOUSE RULES! 🏆⚽️❗️ Right then, a few people have been asking what the plans are for the World Cup, so here’s everything you need to know before the nation collectively turns into football managers for a month... 🏠📋 WORLD CUP HOUSE RULES 📋🏠 ⚽️ We will be showing every game where possible. Some of the really late kick-offs may be after we close, so unfortunately they won’t be shown... 🏴 Unless it's England. In which case we'll probably be here with matchsticks holding our eyes open. 😴☕ ⚽️ Due to the kick-off times for England games (9pm–11pm and 10pm–midnight), the venue will be 18+ only after 9pm. 🏴 We want everyone to enjoy the games safely, and with a packed pub, plenty of celebrations, and emotions running high, it's simply not the right environment for children late at night. Besides... they should probably be in bed anyway! 😴 ⚽️ Tables are first come, first served. 🍺 Translation: If you turn up five minutes before kick-off asking for "a table near the biggest TV", prepare for disappointment. ⚽️ Please be patient and kind with the staff. 💐 Telling us we look lovely today is always appreciated... 🍻 Although if you're hoping it'll get you served faster, the answer will probably be: "Thanks... I look lovely every night. What are you after?" 🤣 ⚽️ Plastic cups will be in use during England games. 🥤 Nobody wants broken glass when Harry Kane scores a 93rd-minute winner. ⚽️ Please do not bring outside food onto the premises. 🍔 We'll be serving food ourselves and need to be mindful of allergies and food safety. (Initial England games only) ⚽️ Please respect our neighbours when leaving. 🤫 We'll have reminder posters around the exits asking everyone to keep noise to a minimum when heading home. ⚽️ Sing loud and proud during the match. 🏴 Scientific studies we definitely haven't made up suggest England are 37% better when the pub is singing Sweet Caroline. ⚽️ TRUST IN TUCHEL. 🏴 I know we all think we're world-class managers, but Thomas Tuchel probably knows slightly more about football than Dave from Whitchurch who's had four Cruzcampos and is shouting "GET IT FORWARD!" every 12 seconds. 😒 ⚽️ If England get knocked out and you see me crying in the corner... 😔 Please approach slowly and offer hugs, snacks and emotional support. ⚽️ Every time you come to the bar you are legally required to say: 🦁 "IT'S COMING HOME!" Failure to do so may result in your order being ignored while the next person is served. (Probably.) ⚽️ Keep your clothes on AT ALL TIMES. 🏴 If England win the World Cup, all bets are off and I can't be held responsible for what happens after the final whistle. 🍺🦁 Any questions, drop us a message or comment below. ITS COMING HOME 🦁🦁🦁
