☀️ Thank You & Good Morning! ☀️
What another brilliant night that was — thank you to everyone who came down, backed England, and helped us keep it a great atmosphere for all. Same again soon, hopefully! 🍺

Today it's all about the tennis 🎾
Wimbledon Men's Final — 4pm, live on our screens.

We can't promise strawberries and cream, but we can promise sunshine in the beer garden, a cold pint in hand, and a proper Sunday well spent. 😁
See you at the bar 🎾🍻

Welcome to another 1986 in Mexico! You can talk about “cheating” all you like, but England are coming, and we’ll see what happens on the pitch. England all the way! 🏴⚽

A huge thank you to every single one of my customers who respected the 10pm condition by taking their drinks inside. There was no trouble, no violence, no police intervention, just decent people acting responsibly. That’s because we’ve built a community based on mutual respect, not fear. -unlike the Oldham Council- you what to play let’s go to the play ground.

The central government wants England fans to support and enjoy the team, yet you just want ant to make it hard for hospitality industry- do one - not scared of you let’s go to court.

I have built multiple busines all around the community and the f you want to take me n cos I provide the hat you can’t!! Let’s do it.

Oldham Council should take note. This is what happens when local businesses work with their customers instead of against them.

I’ve spent years trying to work constructively with the Council, but instead of supporting independent businesses that bring people together, it feels like they’ve chosen bureaucracy over common sense and confrontation over cooperation.

On one of the biggest football nights in years, with England in a World Cup semi-final, I was expected to tell hundreds of people they couldn’t enjoy a drink in the beer garden after 10pm. Anyone with real-world experience knows that’s far more likely to create tension than prevent it. My legal duty is to promote public safety and prevent crime and disorder—and that’s exactly what I did.

The result speaks for itself: no incidents, no arrests, no police intervention, and a safe, respectful atmosphere all evening.

If Oldham Council genuinely believes I’ve breached my licence, then stop hiding behind paperwork and take me to court. I’ll happily stand before a judge and explain exactly why I made the decisions I did and let the facts speak for themselves.

Local businesses deserve support, not endless restrictions that make no practical sense. Residents deserve decision-makers who understand the communities they’re supposed to represent.

I’m done apologising for building a venue where people feel welcome, safe and respected. If standing up for my customers means standing up to the Council, then that’s exactly what I’ll do.

See you in court.

And before I go to court, kick these idiots out of our town

🏉 MEET THE SQUAD — WEDNESDAY 15TH JULY! 🏉

Come and meet the players, have a chat, grab a photo, and show your support for everyone representing the club on and off the field.

🏆 SUPER SPORT SATURDAY at The Devonshire Arms 🏆

❤️ First up, a big thank you to our neighbours, and to everyone who helped us out last night by bringing drinks inside at 10pm in line with our temporary licensing restriction — your cooperation made all the difference.

That restriction is still in place tonight — drinks must stay inside from 10pm, though the outdoor screen stays on, so you won't miss a minute of the football.

The good news: we have our full licence back for the semi-finals and the final, provided there's no further disturbance. We really appreciate everyone's help and support in making that happen. 🙏

On to today!
Wimbledon and the World Cup, both on our big screens today — this is what Saturdays are made for. 🍺
🎾 4pm — Wimbledon Ladies' Singles Final

The best of the fortnight comes down to this. Live on our screens.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 10pm — NORWAY v ENGLAND, World Cup Quarter-Final ⭐

Win or go home. Come on England!
Doors open from 12pm — get down early, grab your spot, and settle in for the long haul. Big screens inside and in the beer garden, food and drink all day.

Tag your crew — let's make it a big one 👇

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Quarter-Final Saturday — A Quick Update 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Saturday's game is still very much on, and we'll have it live on the outdoor screen as planned.

One change to be aware of: following last Sunday's trouble, our outdoor licence has been temporarily amended — From 10pm, alcohol isn't permitted in the beer garden. The outdoor screen stays on throughout, so you won't miss a minute of the football — just keep your alcoholic drink inside.

Doors open from 12pm, so come down early and grab your spot in the sunshine.

Thanks for bearing with us. See you Saturday 🍺⚽

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Norway v England — Saturday Night at The Devonshire Arms 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Saturday's quarter-final is going to be a huge night, and we want it to be a brilliant one — the kind of happy, neighbourhood atmosphere this pub is all about.

Following the trouble caused by a small minority last Sunday we're making some changes on the door for Saturday night. We'd rather be upfront about them now so there are no surprises:

🚪 Extra security will be on throughout the night

🪪 Challenge 25 in operation — please bring physical, not digital, photo ID. New checks will be in place

🔞 No under-21s, unless accompanied by a parent

🚫 Intimidation and drugs will not be tolerated — it goes without saying, but we're saying it

⛔ Anyone involved in Sunday night's trouble will not be admitted — to The Devonshire Arms or K's Lounge

These measures aren't aimed at the overwhelming majority of you who made last weekend such a great occasion. They're there to protect your night.

Come down, get behind England, and let's show what this community does best.

Kick-off 10pm, Saturday 11 July. Doors from 12pm.
See you at the bar 🍺

🧡 560km. 10 Days. One Incredible Cause. 🧡

This August, two local lads — Lee and Paul — are walking 560km from Plymouth to Oldham in just 10 days, in memory of their lifelong friend Ricky Casey.

Ricky was a devoted family man and a Greater Manchester firefighter for over 16 years, who sadly passed away in 2019 after a battle with Renal Medullary Carcinoma (RMC) — one of the rarest and most aggressive kidney cancers. The walk covers ten kilometres for every year of the life Ricky should have been celebrating on his 56th birthday. 💙

Every step raises awareness and funds for The Ricky Casey Trust, working towards the first UK clinical trial for RMC — with the lads walking into a homecoming welcome at Springhead at the finish.

We're proud to be getting behind them, and we'd love to see the rest of our brilliant community do the same. 🙌

👉 Local businesses — the Trust is looking for sponsors to cover the costs of the walk (from as little as £100), so that every penny the public donates goes straight to fighting RMC. There are options for every budget, right up to headline sponsor.

👉 Everyone else — follow the journey, share this post, donate if you can, and let's give Lee and Paul the send-off and support they deserve.

❤️ Follow the Trust on Facebook: The Ricky Casey Trust — give the page a like and keep up with the walk
