Slight change of plan to the night with Roy, the Q and A will now be hosted by Gareth Roberts of infamy.

Same time, same date, same daft laughs to be expected. Like I said previously, get in early because it’ll be a busy one and we can’t fit all of you in. Buy a pint, buy a book, have a great night, dead easy.

Go and check out Wazza’s finest Man & The Echo too if you’re not already familiar.

Also, there’s still tickets for England vs Croatia on Wednesday. I know it’s a tough sell, a stupid World Cup and an annoying kick off time on a Wednesday butttttttt we always have a class time in here for England matches, I’ll get you a load of pizza so you don’t have to worry about tea and I’ve got loads of Lucky Saints, Guinness Zero and low percentage Radler’s if you’re that scared of your boss on Thursday morning.

I’ve spent the past few days umming and aahing about what illustration to do on this years Lickle wallchart. Diego losing the plot or Baggio fluffing his lines at USA 94, Diego triumphant at Mexico 86, Alexis Lalas’ daft hair or even just a pink and green Jules Rimet trophy. Then I woke up this morning to one of the most iconic photographs ever taken of an England player and I had to make an illustration of an Anthony Gordon commemorative plate.

I’ll get a load of these printed for next Wednesdays England opener. Free with your ticket, alongside a free drink and a load of pizza. Link in the comments.

In the meantime, the weather has shifted to somewhat glorious, so get here asap for a post-work pint. Canada vs Bosnia at 8pm. Come and get the weekend started reyt, good and proper x

I’m back! Lickle is back! Come and get some!

My holiday is over, the Spanish sun is a distant memory and the textbook unseasonal Warrington monsoon is all-consuming but at least we’ve got the most ridiculous World Cup (since the last one) starting tonight.

Mexico vs South Africa at 8pm. England play next Wednesday and tickets are available via the link in the comments. Grab them up quick because they don’t usually last very long.

Just a gentle reminder that this is a complete dickhead-free zone for the World Cup. We’ve all had too many major tournaments ruined by watching it with complete muppets, who don’t understand football but profess to be experts. If you’re unsure whether that includes you or not, maybe check the brilliant pub charter than made up for the last World Cup.

I’d like the World Cup in Lickle to be a hell of a lot more inclusive than the actual World Cup. Grab your tickets now and let’s hopefully have some magic scenes like Agyemang’s equaliser against Sweden last summer.

Also got a sweepstake going, £2.50 a pop. Swing by and choose your team.

Ayup everyone, have you missed me whilst I’ve been off sunning it in Barcelona, watching the Cure, smoking too many cigs and having cafe con leche with a load of stringy bacon on the side?

I don’t even care if you haven’t because I’ve got an exciting event to announce… Liverpudlian legend Roy will be in and around Lickle on the 26th June for a special do.

He’ll be doing some readings from his new collection of short stories ‘Boomerang Process’ followed by a Q&A hosted by champion of hidden gems - it’s gonna be an absolute belter of a night. Roy is a natural story teller and very funny, I can vouch for that personally after seeing him support muckers a while back so you’re in for a treat and it really isn’t to be missed.

It’s free entry, just bring a few quid with you to buy a pint or a 0%-er and a copy of the book.

As always, I’d recommend getting in early, because as you all know by now, we are actually Lickle and once we’re full, we’re full.

Back open on Thursday. It’s only the bloody World Cup innit.

Right. Let’s be having you. It’s Saturday, the suns out, you’ve got no excuse. It’s also the last day of Lickle until the 11th June. I’m off on me hols!

Come and have a pint, please give me some extra spending money for the extortionate Primavera pint prices.

You need to come and get your fix, you know you’ll regret it next Wednesday when you start having your Lickle withdrawals and I’m off sunning it in my speedos.

See you soon x

Sorry for the radio silence on here this week, I’m not gonna lie to you, it’s been too hot and I couldn’t be arsed trying to be amusing for you. It’s been hard enough just talking to you all in person to be honest.

Here’s some photos from our marvellous 2nd birthday party last Saturday. Still hard to fathom that Lickle has been going strong for 2 years. We had a right hoot. Lots of singing, screeching, dancing, boozing and laughing. Ben was clearly loving the karaoke and to be fair to him, he can hold a note. The same cannot be said for most of you, but I always (not always) appreciate the effort.

If you want a bit of Lickle then Mavis is supplying the goods tonight. I’m off on my hols on Monday so you’ve got this weekend to make the most of it before I close for the week. I’ll be back open again on the 11th June. Ready for some World Cupping. If you want a ticket for any of Englands group games, the link is in my bio x

Oh boy oh boy oh boy.

The World Cup is right round the corner and you can grab your tickets RIGHT NOW. Right now. This second if you don’t mind?

We’ve had so much bloody fun here over the past two summers. Watching the Lionesses put us through the wringer before doing what they do best… winning. The year before that, we watched England toil their way into giving us false hope, to the point where I really thought we could do it when Cole Palmer placed that finish into the bottom corner. It’s heartbreaking, frustrating and usually sweaty. So why would you not want to do it again?

Tickets are a tenner, that gets you a free pint on entry, a load of pizza, some novelty crap and some freebies from moi. Or, you can pay £20 right now and get tickets for all three group games. The Carol Vordermans amongst you will realise that’s a saving of a whole tenner. Imagine the sh*te you could buy from Mega Pound Bargain Store with that.

Will hopefully announce some fun pre-match shenanigans soon too!

Link in the comments. They flew out last time, so I wouldn’t hang about x

Lickle is 2!

Two whole years old. Who’d have thought it? Well I did, but I’ve been accused of delusion in the past. Numerous times.

Thank you to everyone who has made this dream job possible. Thank you to all my friends, regulars, casual customers, once a year drinkers, anyone who interacts with the social media, all those that brought their empty glasses back to the bar, anyone who bought tickets for events or just anyone who tells me I’m doing a good job. I can’t really put into words how appreciative I am of the support for this extremely daft Lickle independent business.

Thank you to my long-suffering Demi for being patient when I’m upto my eyes in it, my family (especially for the emergency supermarket runs), Hayley, Mavis, Will, Beth, Liv and anyone else who has been there at the drop of a hat to help steer Lickle through the chaos of the world outside of these four walls.

I’m extremely proud of what this place has become. A place for all sorts of shenanigans with community, inclusion and support at the core of it all. A place for the daftest of laughs. A place where you can come on your own and (within half a pint) find your new best mates. I can’t wait to see the next wave of weirdos that will darken my door over the next year. Let’s have a beer together.

Love you all.

PS. I’ll be closing at 6pm tonight so I can get the gaff ship-shape for our *SOLD OUT* birthday party tonight. If you’re at Neighbourhood, I hope you get leathered and have a glorious time frolicking in the sun.

🌟🌟 ‘STAFF’ SPOTLIGHT 🌟🌟

Name: Mike Mavis Clare Balding Sandi Toksvig Pickles Mimsy and basically anything you want if you buy him a drink
Age: 43
Special Talents: Gymnastics, starting beef with ex Rugby League pros, touch-typing, opening Fray Bentos tins with his teeth, using two whole toilet rolls a day.
Fun Fact: He became a shareholder in Pepto Bismol in 2021 and claims he was the inspiration for the catchy jingle.
Embarrassing fact: he’s still not quite managed to learn how to tie his shoelaces yet, he gets so close and then gets all flustered. My Velcro king. Your Velcro king.
Favourite drink: Either a lukewarm glass of milk or 7 bottles of Aspalls in a big jug. Ideally on his own in a dark room with a 180+ bpm techno soundtrack.

Mavis is manning the good ship Lickle tonight and is regretting his decision now that the weather has gone utterly glorious. Go and buy him a cider to cheer him up. It’s an hard life being my mate x

Here’s some Instax snaps from a raucous Saturday in here last weekend. I’d imagine there was a lot of sore heads on Sunday but we had a bloody marvellous time.

The Bank Holiday is so close I can almost sniff it or possibly even give it a little lick, so why not start a little early and come here for a pint or seven tonight?

Lickle is 2 this weekend, isn’t that absolutely wild? Our big party on Saturday has sold out (in a day, I’ll have you know, I just forgot to post about it), so if you even love me at all, you’ll come in today and/or tomorrow to spend some money and give the bar it’s birthday digs.
