🍺🏰 RIGHT THEN… IT’S TIME TO DRINK THE CASTLE DRY!! 🏰🍺
There has been lots of rumours and
Speculation about Simon’s and lousie and the castle recently, but we’ve always been open and honest with anyone who has asked us to our face, and more importantly to our castle family! But here we are!
Well… we never thought we’d be writing this one!
After plenty of laughs, late nights, questionable decisions, even more questionable dancing and enough pints to sink a small ship 😂, me and Louise will be leaving The Castle on Saturday 19th September 2026.
We’ve decided it’s time for us to spend more time with our family and, due to health reasons, finally slow things down a little ❤️
BUT WE ARE NOT SNEAKING OUT THE BACK DOOR QUIETLY… absolutely no chance 😂
We’re going out CASTLE STYLE!! 🍻
🎸 BITTERSWEET LIVE!! 🎸
🍺 PINTS – £3
🥃 SPIRIT & MIXER – £3
🥃🥃 DOUBLE & MIXER - £4
🔥 SHOTS – £1!! 🔥
And the most important bit…
ONCE IT’S GONE, IT’S GONE!!
There’s no secret stash out the back, no emergency barrel and no “Simon, have you got another bottle?” 😂
Our mission is simple…
COME AND DRINK US DRY!! 🍺🍺🍺
We want an empty cellar, empty fridges and hopefully a pub full of people making one last load of memories with us.
If you’ve ever had a pint with us, laughed with us, supported us, put up with us, or just fancy ridiculously cheap booze and a bloody good night…
GET YOURSELF TO THE CASTLE ON THE 19TH SEPTEMBER! FROM 8pm ONWARDS
Bring your mates. Bring your dancing shoes. Bring your drinking arm.
£3 PINTS. £3 SPIRIT & MIXERS. £4 DOUBLE & MIXER £1 SHOTS. BITTERSWEET LIVE.
Let’s give me and Louise one hell of a send-off and leave absolutely bu**er all for whoever checks the cellar the next morning 😂🍻
Please come and support us on our last weeks, we are going to miss every single one of our customers old, new, regular, sporadic and everyone in between 🥰
🏰❤️ THE CASTLE – ONE LAST BIG NIGHT WITH SIMON & LOUISE ❤️🏰
19/09/2026 8pm — COME AND DRINK US DRY!
Once it’s gone… IT’S GONE! 🍺😂
Hey all, just wanted to clear something up as there seems to be a little bit of confusion going around ❤️
The Castle is NOT closing for good! 🍻🏰
Me and Louise will be saying our goodbyes and finishing our time at The Castle on the 19th September. The pub will then be closed from the 20th, giving the new landlords a few days to get everything ready, before reopening on the 25th September under new management.
Although it’s the end of an era for us, it’s definitely not the end of The Castle. We genuinely wish the new landlords every bit of luck and success and hope everyone gives them the same support, laughs and loyalty that you’ve shown us over the years.
The Castle has always been more than just four walls and a bar — it’s the people who walk through the door that make it what it is. ❤️
So please keep supporting your local, welcome the new landlords with open arms and help them make their own memories here.
But before all that… we’ve still got the 19th September to get through first… and we fully intend on going out with one hell of a night! 😂🍺
Thank you everyone, from the bottom of our hearts.
Simon & Louise ❤️🏰
