What a weekend. ❤️
We just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who came through the doors, supported us, wished us well and shared such kind words throughout this whole journey.
To the people of Bridgnorth and the surrounding area, thank you for making us feel so welcome. It’s been lovely hearing your stories about The Shakespeare, how long you’ve been coming here, and what the pub means to you.
A huge thank you too to Joe Seager, Tin Can and Becky Peters for bringing such brilliant live music to our first weekend.
And an extra special thank you to Joule’s for all their support in helping make our takeover as smooth as possible, for backing us through the process and for helping us get to the point where we could finally open the doors.
And then there’s our team.
They have worked incredibly hard, put in long hours and somehow helped us go from absolute chaos to ready to open the doors. Through all of it, they still managed to serve every drink, greet every customer and keep smiling genuinely.
We couldn’t have asked for more from them, and we’re very proud to call them our team.
We’ve loved this weekend more than we can probably put into words.
Our next big step is getting the kitchen fully up and running, and we’re hoping to start introducing our food offer over the next week, all being well. We’ll keep you posted as soon as we’re ready.
And one more thing…
If you haven’t got plans for Saturday 7th November, you might want to keep the afternoon free. We’ve got something coming that we’re very excited about, and we’ll be announcing it very soon.
This is only the beginning, and we’re very excited about what’s still to come at The Shakespeare.
Thank you for being part of our first weekend.
