🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 WHAT A NIGHT AT THE WHY NOT INN! 🦁⚽

What an incredible evening as England booked their place in the World Cup Semi-Finals with a fantastic win over Norway!

The atmosphere inside and outside was absolutely electric from the first whistle to the last. Every goal was met with huge celebrations, and it was brilliant to see so many people coming together to cheer on our home nation. ❤️🤍

A huge thank you to every single one of our customers who joined us last night. We really appreciate you respecting our match day restrictions and helping to create a safe, friendly and enjoyable environment for everyone. Your cooperation made the evening run smoothly, and we’re incredibly grateful.

A massive shout-out also goes to our amazing bar staff, who worked tirelessly to keep the drinks flowing all night, and to the fantastic team at JC'S Indian Bar & Grill, who kept everyone well fed despite the non-stop demand. Your hard work and dedication certainly didn’t go unnoticed! 👏🍻🍛

Finally, thank you to everyone who chose to spend such a memorable night with us. The support, the singing and the celebrations were something special, and we can’t wait to do it all again for the Semi-Final!

Taking from anyone is low, but taking from children is lower than low!

Time to come together as community and make sure these disgraceful people can not take enjoyment away from our local children again!

*The article mentions it was a silver Mercedes, that isn't correct it was a silver BMW as shown in our CCTV* (been corrected)

A huge thank you to all that have been in touch, given information and shown your continued support ♥️

The pub is reportedly only one of a number to be targeted on the night.
