WORLD CUP AT THE ROYAL OAK

Just a quick note for England World Cup games.

You do not need a ticket — entry will be first come, first served.

Once we reach capacity, we’ll have to close the doors. This is to keep everyone safe, comfortable and in line with our licence.

During England matches, we’ll also be operating a minimum spend of £10 per person for customers staying to watch the game.

We’ll have great match-day offers on selected bottled beers and wine, so get in early, grab your spot and enjoy the football properly.

No outside drinks, please.

Thanks for understanding — let’s make it a brilliant World Cup.

Good Beer. Good People. Proper Local.

There’s something special about watching England in the World Cup down the pub.

The build-up, the pints, the nervous shouting at the telly, the whole pub going up when England score — you just don’t get that sat at home.

We’ll have every England game live here at The Royal Oak, with proper match-day atmosphere, cold drinks and good people.

And to make it even better, we’ll have some great match-day offers on bottled beers and wine when England are playing.

Get in early, grab your spot and watch it how it should be watched.

England. World Cup. The pub. Proper local.

⚽🎶 Friday night at The Royal Oak 🎶⚽
Tonight at 8pm we’ll be showing Canada v Bosnia & Herzegovina live on the big screen.
We know not everyone comes out on a Friday night just for the football, so we’re going to keep things nice and balanced:
The match will be on for anyone who wants to watch, with the speaker nearest the big screen turned down so footy fans can enjoy the game, while the music and jukebox will still be on around the rest of the pub for those just out for a Friday night drink.
Football on the screens, music in the pub, cold beer at the bar — something for everyone.

🏆 THE WORLD CUP PROPER STARTS TONIGHT 🏆

It all kicks off at 8pm as co-hosts Mexico take on South Africa at the famous Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.

The atmosphere should be absolutely electric — and surely Mexico will be looking to start their tournament with a win on home soil.

We’ll have it live on the screens, cold beer ready and the World Cup buzz officially underway.

Come and join us, grab a seat, and let’s get this tournament started properly.

The Royal Oak. Good beer. Good people. Proper local.

🏆⚽ England v New Zealand — Tonight 9pm ⚽🏆

We’ve got two warm-up games over in America before the World Cup proper begins, and tonight we’ll be showing England v New Zealand live at 9pm.

Come and see what Thomas Tuchel’s got up his sleeve… although let’s be honest, there’s no time for experimenting now — we want to see some proper football!

Good beer, good people, England on the screens.

Come and join us at The Royal Oak 🍻

Get your bets on in town, then head down to The Royal Oak for a pint and cheer your horse home!

Good beer. Good racing. Proper pub. 🏇🍺

World Cup decorations wanted! 🏆⚽

We’re getting The Royal Oak ready for the World Cup and want the pub looking the part!

If anyone has any England flags, Scotland flags, club & country flags, national shirts, scarves or anything World Cup-related, drop them into the pub and we’ll get them up on the walls ready for the tournament.

Please put a sticker or name label on the back so we know who they belong to and can get them back to you afterwards.

Cheers all — looking forward to it! 🍻⚽
