🎱💰 THE CRUSADER LOTTO IS HERE! 💰🎱

Right then, you lovely lot… fancy turning £1 A WEEK into a nice little payday? 😏💷

We’re starting our very own CRUSADER LOTTO and it couldn’t be easier to play!

🚨🚨 THIS ROUND CLOSES THIS FRIDAY! 🚨🚨

If you want to be in this round, your 6 numbers MUST be picked and handed in at the bar with your £1 by Friday!

❌ Miss the deadline and unfortunately you’ll have to wait until the NEXT ROUND starts to join in!

🎱 HOW IT WORKS

👉 Choose 6 numbers
👉 Pay just £1 per week
👉 Hand your numbers and £1 in at the bar
👉 Every Saturday night, we check them against the Saturday Lotto draw
👉 Every time one of YOUR numbers comes up, we CROSS IT OFF ❌

🏆 FIRST PERSON — OR PERSONS — TO GET ALL 6 NUMBERS CROSSED OFF WINS THE POT! 🏆

💰 If there’s more than one winner, the pot will be split equally between the winners.

The longer it takes someone to cross off all six, the more money goes into the pot! 👀💷💷💷

⚠️ IMPORTANT RULE

If you miss 2 weeks of payments, your numbers will be CANCELLED and you’ll be out of the game — so make sure you keep that £1 paid up!

🍺 £1 A WEEK
🎱 6 NUMBERS
💰 ONE GROWING POT
🤞 AND PLENTY OF LUCK!

🚨 REMEMBER — THIS ROUND CLOSES FRIDAY! 🚨

Get yourselves down to The Crusader, choose your lucky six and get them handed in at the bar before the deadline!

Because as they say…

🍀💰 YOU’VE GOT TO BE IN IT TO WIN IT! 💰🍀

Who’s feeling lucky then? 👀🤞😂

⚓👻🍺 LOOK WHAT’S DOCKED AT THE CRUSADER TODAY! 🍺👻⚓

Ahoy there, you lovely lot! 🏴‍☠️

We’ve got a NEW GUEST ALE that’s sailed into port and taken up residence on the bar…

👻⚓ ADNAMS GHOST SHIP PALE ALE ⚓👻

And before anyone asks… NO, Lynn hasn’t bought a boat and NO, the pub isn’t haunted 😂👻

Here are a few fun facts about Ghost Ship:

🍺 It’s a 4.1% ABV pale ale
🌊 Brewed by Adnams in Southwold, Suffolk
👻 The name was inspired by the ghostly legends and eerie history of the Suffolk coast
🌿 Brewed with hops including Citra, giving it those lovely citrusy, hoppy flavours
🍋 Expect refreshing notes of lemon, lime and tropical fruit with a crisp, bitter finish
⚓ And apparently the name also gives a little nod to Adnams’ maritime roots — very fitting for something that’s just docked at The Crusader!

So, who’s brave enough to tackle the Ghost Ship? 👻🍺

Get yourselves down, grab a pint and give our latest guest ale a try before this ship sets sail again! ⛵😂

⚓ NOW POURING AT THE CRUSADER ⚓

🍺👻 GHOST SHIP — COME AND GET ON BOARD! 👻🍺

💪 Reliable and not afraid of a busy bar

☀️🍺 SUN’S OUT, PINTS OUT… AND WE’VE GOT FOOTBALL TOO! ⚽🔥

Well you lovely lot… WEDNESDAY is looking like an absolute BELTER at The Crusader! 😎☀️🍻

Temperatures are hitting highs of 30°C today AND tomorrow 🥵🔥 so our b**r garden is ready and waiting for you!

Grab yourself an ice-cold pint, a chilled c***r or a WKD, find a sunny spot and enjoy those summer vibes. ☀️🍺

But while we humans might love sitting out with a cold one… PLEASE think about our four-legged mates. 🐶❤️

🐾 Dogs simply can’t cool themselves down like we can.
🐾 Heatstroke can happen incredibly quickly.
🐾 A dog has never died from missing a couple of walks… but sadly hundreds die from heatstroke.

So please leave the fur babies at home, in the shade, with plenty of fresh water and maybe a cheeky frozen treat! 🧊🐕❤️

Zeus & Moo certainly won’t be complaining about putting their paws up! 😂🐾

⚽ AND THEN TONIGHT… IT’S MATCH TIME! ⚽

🔥 MAN UTD 🆚 LEEDS UNITED 🔥
⏰ 7:30PM

Who’s joining us?! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

We’ve got FULL MATCH COVERAGE WITH SOUND ACROSS ALL 10 SCREENS! 📺🔊⚽

So get yourselves down early, grab your favourite spot, get the pints in and let’s get behind the lads! 💙💛

☀️ Sunshine
🍺 Ice-cold pints
🐾 Fur babies safely chilling at home
⚽ Man Utd v Leeds
📺 10 screens
🔊 FULL SOUND

Sounds like a pretty cracking Wednesday to us! 😎🍻

COME ON LEEDS! 💙💛🤍
MARCHING ON TOGETHER! ⚽🍺

09/08/2026

🍺🎉 NEW SEASON… NEW FREEBIE! 🎉🍺

Right then you lovely lot… a brand-new football season deserves a brand-new giveaway! ⚽🍻

But there’s a little twist… 👀

🎟️ OUR SCRATCH CARDS ARE LIMITED AND WILL BE GIVEN OUT COMPLETELY AT RANDOM THROUGHOUT AUGUST! 🎟️

That’s right… there’s no set day, no set time and no way of knowing when they’re coming out! 😂🍀

You could just happen to be stood at the bar ordering one of our selected drinks when…

BOOM 💥 SCRATCH CARD TIME!

And if you’re lucky enough to scratch off a winner…

🍺 THERE’S A FREE PINT ON US! 🍺

So the big question is…

👀 COULD YOU BE IN THE CRUSADER AT EXACTLY THE RIGHT TIME?

🍺 Selected Draught Drinks
• John Smith’s Smooth
• Strongbow
• Fosters
• Cruzcampo

🍾 Selected Bottled Drinks
• Bulmers Original
• Old Mout – All Flavours
• Desperados
• Heineken
• Heineken 0.0
• Newcastle Brown Ale

⚠️ Remember — buying one of these drinks DOESN’T automatically get you a scratch card. They’ll be handed out completely randomly while our limited stock lasts!

You might get one with your first pint… 🍺
You might be here when a batch suddenly comes out… 👀
Or you might watch your mate get one and immediately regret saying, “Nah, I’m stopping at home tonight.” 😂😂

That’s the fun of it!

⚽ New football season
🍻 Cold pints
🎟️ Random scratch cards
🍺 FREE PINTS waiting to be won

RIGHT PLACE. RIGHT TIME. RIGHT PINT. 🍀🍺

Liverpool take on Leeds in a friendly LIVE from 9pm at The Crusader! 🙌

🔊 FULL SOUND
🍺 Cold drinks

⚽🍻 Well folks, that’s the World Cup done and dusted for another 4 years! 🍻⚽

A massive well done to our sweepstake winners…

🥇 Tom had Spain and has only gone and bagged himself £150! Drinks are on you then, Tom… 👀🍺

🥈 Tosh & Michelle had Argentina and take home £50! That should just about cover a round… maybe 😂

Huge congratulations to our winners, and an even bigger thank you to everyone who watched the tournament with us at The Crusader.

The atmosphere has been class, the pints have been flowing, the refereeing has been questionable, and the football chat has been absolutely expert… obviously. 😏

Now bring on the new football season so we can get back to shouting at the telly, blaming VAR, and pretending we’d have scored that chance ourselves! ⚽🍻

See you all at The Crusader!
