🚨 BREAKING NEWS! 🚨

The Government have done something useful… 😳

They’ve relaxed the licensing rules, which means…

🍻 THE HOLLY BUSH WILL BE OPEN FOR ENGLAND v MEXICO! 🍻

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England v Mexico 🇲🇽
🌙 Sunday night / Monday morning
🕐 Kick off 1:00am

We were all set for a night on the sofa.

Instead, we’ll be pulling pints while England pull Mexico apart. ⚽

Pints are not essential, but after that last match, they might make the experience slightly less stressful. 🍺

And for anyone heading straight to work after the final whistle…

🥓 FREE bacon roll
☕ FREE tea or coffee

Because nothing says “good life choices” like England at 1:00am and work straight after.

Sleep is temporary.
World Cup glory is forever.

See you Sunday night. 🏆🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🍻

⚽️ THREE GOALS. ZERO WINNERS. THIS GAME IS TRYING TO BREAK US. ⚽️

England finally found the back of the net…

Twice!

The only problem?

None of you found the right minutes. 😅

The goals came in the:

⚽️ 7th minute
⚽️ 75th minute
⚽️ 86th minute

Which means…

🍺 No winners.
🍺 No free 4-pint jugs.
🍺 Just another evening of everyone claiming they “nearly had that one.” 🤣

We did have a couple of proper near misses though…

🥈 Jim S was sat on 6 and 9.

The goal came in the 7th minute.

Missing it from both sides is a special talent. 😂

🥈 Mark Sandell was sat on 87.

One minute away from a free 4-pint jug of Thatchers Gold.

That’s the sort of result that keeps you awake at night. 🍺😅

A massive thank you to everyone who had a go. Better luck next time!

🍻 NEXT UP…

🏴 England 🇲🇽 Mexico
📅 Sunday night / Monday morning
🕐 Kick-off 1:00am

Sadly, licensing rules mean we can’t show this one inside the pub…

But if you’re one of the die-hard England fans who still wants that proper pub matchday atmosphere, we’ll leave the TV on.

You’ll just have to recreate lockdown and stand outside peering through the window like you’re barred, trying to work out who’s nicked your usual seat. 🤣⚽

Pop in before we close, buy a pint of Thatchers Gold, and you’ll still get 3 picks on the Goal Time board.

If either team scores in one of your chosen minutes, you’ll win a FREE 4-pint jug of Thatchers Gold!

Good luck… and if we see silhouettes outside the pub at 1am, we’ll know exactly what you’re up to. 👀🍻

Football’s back. And we’re showing it live on the big screen.

🏴 England v D.R. Congo 🇨🇩
📅 Wednesday 1st July
🕔 Kick off 5:00pm

Join us in the garden for every minute of the action.

🍺 Large outdoor screen
🌿 Plenty of outdoor seating
🚶 No reservations needed. Just turn up.

Please note that indoor seating will be reserved from around 6:00pm for our fully booked monthly quiz, which starts at 7:30pm. If you’re coming to watch the football, we recommend heading straight to the garden where the match will be shown throughout.

Get here early, grab a drink and back the Three Lions with us.

Come on England! 🏴⚽🍻

⚽️ TWO GOALS. ZERO WINNERS. PUB HEARTBREAK. ⚽️

England finally remembered where the goal was…

Unfortunately, none of us did. 😅

The goals came in the:

⚽️ 62nd minute
⚽️ 67th minute

Which means…

🍺 No winners.
🍺 No free 4-pint jugs.
🍺 Just a lot of people convincing themselves they “nearly picked that one.” 🤣

The closest anyone came was Paul Cribb, who was sat on 66.

One minute away from glory.

One minute away from free cider.

One minute away from becoming everyone’s new best mate.

Instead… he got a mention on Facebook. 😂🍻

A massive thank you to everyone who had a go. Better luck next time!

🍻 WE GO AGAIN…

Next up:

🏴 England 🇨🇩 D.R Congo

⚽ If either team scores in one of your chosen minutes, you’ll win a FREE 4-pint jug of Thatchers Gold!

Paul has already shown us that being one minute out gets you absolutely nothing…

So make your picks count! 😆

See you Wednesday! 🍺⚽

⚽️ WELL… THAT WAS AWKWARD. ⚽️

Our England v Ghana Goal Time draw had one major flaw…

For somebody to win, somebody actually had to score. 😅

After 90 minutes, a lot of shouting at the referee, several expert opinions from the bar, and enough analysis to keep Match of the Day going until breakfast…

The final score was:

🏴 England 0 - 0 Ghana 🇬🇭

Which means…

🍺 No goals.
🍺 No winning minutes.
🍺 No winners.

The good news is nobody can claim they were robbed this time. Every number on the board was equally useless. 🤣

A huge thank you to everyone who took part.

Special congratulations to everyone who picked numbers 1-90. You all finished level on points.

🍻 BUT WE GO AGAIN…

Next up:

🏴 England 🇵🇦 Panama
📅 Saturday 27th June
🕙 Kick-off 10:00pm

All you need to do is buy a pint of Thatchers Gold and you’ll get up to 3 chances on the board.

⚽ If either team scores in your chosen minute, you’ll win a FREE 4-pint jug of Thatchers Gold!

No football knowledge required.

No skill involved.

Just a pint, a lucky number, and hopefully a few goals this time. 😆

The board is now open, so get your names down before the best numbers disappear!

☀️ TEMPORARY SUMMER MENU ☀️

With temperatures staying high, we’ve made a few temporary changes to the menu to help keep the kitchen cooler and our team working safely.

Don’t worry, there’s still plenty to get stuck into.

🥗 Fresh Greek Salad
🍤 Chilli & Lemon Prawn Salad
🍗 Chicken Caesar Salad
🧀 Goat’s Cheese Salad Bowl
🌯 Mexican Pork Burrito Bowl
🦑 Sweet Chilli Squid Bowl
🍖 The Bush Ploughman’s
🍟 Bushfire Buffalo Loaded Fries
🌶 Tuscan Seoul Loaded Fries
🐟 Fish & Chips
🍤 Scampi & Chips
🥣 Homemade Beef Chilli

Plus all your favourite desserts, including Cookie Meltdowns, Sticky Toffee Pudding and Black Forest Fondant.

Here are a few of the new dishes we’ve been working on this week. What do you reckon? 👀

We’re keeping this menu in place while the hot weather sticks around and we’ll review things once temperatures return to normal.

⚽️ SO CLOSE, WAYNE… SO VERY CLOSE ⚽️

Our Scotland v Morocco Goal Time draw was over almost before it had begun…

Morocco found the net in the:

⚽️ 2nd minute

Which sounds great… unless you’ve picked minute 3. 😬

Poor Wayne Othen was sat on number 3, making him the closest player on the board and just ONE minute away from a 4-pint jug of Thatchers Gold.

Close enough to be annoying.

Not close enough to be drinking free cider. 🍺🤣

Unfortunately, nobody managed to land on the winning minute this time, meaning the jug stays with us for another day.

A huge thank you to everyone who had a go.

🍻 BUT WE GO AGAIN…

Next up:

🏴 England 🇬🇭 Ghana
📅 Tuesday 23rd June
🕘 Kick-off 9:00pm

Buy a pint of Thatchers Gold and you’ll get up to 3 picks on the board.

⚽ If either team scores in your chosen minute, you’ll win a 4-pint jug of Thatchers Gold!

After Paul’s near misses, Peter’s win, Paul’s comeback win, and Wayne missing by a single minute, we’re starting to think this game enjoys winding people up… 👀
