🇬🇧 QUARTER-FINAL TIME! 🏆

What a night that was...

England have just pulled off what many thought was impossible by knocking Mexico out of the World Cup on their own turf!

Going into that game, Mexico had lost just 2 of their previous 89 competitive matches at the Azteca Stadium. Well... make that 3 defeats from 90! 👏👏

Now it's time for the next challenge...

⚽ England 🆚 Norway 🗓️ Saturday 🕙 10:00pm Kick Off

We've got everything ready for a huge night at The Golden Cross:

🎤 Karaoke & DJ from 7pm until kick off, again at half time and from the final whistle until close.

🍕 Grab your slice at half time!

🍺 Beer Garden fully open with multiple TV's and live commentary.

£500,000 raised and we’re only halfway there! ❤️

Our pubs have now raised an incredible £500k for our Make It A Million campaign and every penny tells a story.

Behind that number are teams giving their time, guests showing their generosity, communities coming together and moments that remind us what our pubs are all about.

We can only share a few of the many amazing stories and photos from our sites, but this milestone belongs to every single person who has helped make it happen. To our teams, guests and communities, thank you. Let’s keep going and Make It A Million! 🙌

Nothing beats a World Cup matchday at the pub ⚽🍻

The atmosphere. The chants. The last-minute winners. The roar when the ball hits the back of the net 🙌

Grab your mates, enjoy an ice-cold pint and soak up every moment with fellow fans. No bookings, no fuss, just turn up, find your spot and enjoy the beautiful game. See you at kick-off! 🍺⚽

☀️ It's hot.
⚽ England are playing.
🍺 The pub is busy.
🥤 We know you want a drink.

We completely understand that the heat, the football and the crowds can test everyone's patience.

Trust us though... behind the bar it's even hotter! Between the fridges, glasswashers and everything else, it feels more like The Devil's Sauna than a pub.

Our team are working as quickly and safely as they can to keep everyone served and enjoying their night.

What we won't tolerate is abuse towards our staff or other customers.

Anyone who chooses to abuse our team or fellow patrons will be asked to leave and will be spending the rest of the night cooling off outside. Once you're out, you won't be coming back in.

Let's all enjoy the football, the vibes and a few drinks together.

Please be patient. Please be respectful. And most importantly... have a great time! 🍻⚽

🇬🇧⚽🎤 THIS SATURDAY AT THE GOLDEN CROSS! 🎤⚽🇬🇧

We’ve got the best of both worlds this Saturday night!

The rear of the pub and beer garden will be zoned for the England match, while the front of the pub around the DJ stand will have DJ Kev and Karaoke.

We understand not everyone loves the footie, and not everyone loves karaoke, so we’ve set things up so you can choose your night — or enjoy a bit of both!

☀️ And because England are playing, and the UK is currently pretending to be the surface of the sun, we’re relaxing the dress code for Saturday night.

✅ Shorts are allowed
✅ England shirts are encouraged

Come comfortable, keep cool, grab a drink, and enjoy the night with us! 🍻⚽🎤

☀️ THIS FRIDAY – SHORTS ARE A GO! ☀️

With the weather set to stay scorching, we're relaxing the dress code for Friday night.

Please note: Our Search Policy and Challenge 25 remain fully in effect. If you're lucky enough to look under 25, please bring valid photo ID.

Stay cool, drink responsibly, and we'll see you Friday! 😎🍺

What a day!🎯🍻

We were proud to host the Craft Union National Darts Final at Brackens, Alvaston for the second year running and it certainly didn’t disappoint. From an electric afternoon of top-level darts to an incredible evening with Stephen “The Bullet” Bunting, the atmosphere was something special from start to finish!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it such a memorable event. Here’s to doing it all again 🤩🎯
