Last night’s quiz winners, looking very pleased with themselves — and rightly so!

Well done to this lovely lot, and thanks to everyone who joined us and to Ian for hosting.

Fancy giving them some competition? Our pub quiz is on every Sunday at 9pm. Get a few mates together, think up a team name and come down for a game.

There’s always someone who says “I knew that!” after the answers. You know who you are.

Who’s joining us next Sunday?

Who’s leaving the cooking to us today?

Pop down to The Estcourt for lunch or dinner — we’ve got 2 mains for £19.99, Monday to Thursday. Or just come in for a pint and a catch-up.

Poker’s on tonight too, if you fancy a game.

Doors opened at 11am and the kitchen’s serving until 9pm. Hope to see a few of you!

The Dream Team’s new single, “Back to Back”, is out now… and we’re hearing they’re after a third 😂

Two Sunday quiz wins in a row deserved their own record cover. Well done, you lot — you’re going to need a bigger shelf for the bragging rights!

Can anyone stop them making it three?

Get your team together and join us for Ian’s quiz this Sunday at 9pm at The Estcourt Tavern. Let’s see who’s got the answers 👀

Some of yesterday’s pumpkin creations at the Estcourt! 🎃

Thanks to everyone who came along for the carving. The kids did a brilliant job, although we’re pretty sure a few parents enjoyed it even more than they did 😂

Lovely having you all in. Which pumpkin gets your vote?

We only put the frame out… you lot did the rest 😂🎃

A few familiar faces from Halloween at the Estcourt! A big thank you to everyone who came down, dressed up and spent the evening with us.

Seeing our regulars alongside new faces, having a laugh together, is what we love about this pub. Thanks for making us part of your Halloween and for all the support you’ve shown us since we took over. It means a lot to all of us.

First loss for our pool team against Watford Cricket Club, but no heads down here. They’re a very good Premier League side and we’re proud of our lot for giving them a game. Plenty more pool to be played! 👏

Our darts team were celebrating a win against The Glenn — well played, everyone! 🎯

Well done to both teams and thanks for representing the Estcourt. We’re proud to have you playing for us.
