Let’s fill this board, Watford! 📌

Our community board at The Estcourt Tavern is looking a bit bare, and we’d love your help.

Got a local business, charity fundraiser, community event or a club looking for new members? Pop in with a flyer or have a chat with us about putting something up.

We’d love it to become somewhere you can find out what’s happening locally and support the people around us.

Tag someone who’s got something to share, or drop us a message!

Thank you to everyone who came to see us over the weekend. It’s been lovely catching up with familiar faces and meeting plenty of new ones. We’re so happy to be back in Watford and your support means a lot to us ❤️

We’ve got poker on tonight if you fancy joining us, and the kitchen’s open 11:30am–9pm if you’d rather leave the cooking to us!

Who’s having a roast today?

We’re doing Sunday lunch at The Estcourt Tavern, so leave the cooking and washing up to us.

We’ll have the Manchester derby on too, and plenty of colouring for the kids.

Bring the family, settle in and make an afternoon of it. Dogs are welcome as well!

Watford are at home to Stoke today, kicking off at 3pm. We’re open from 11am, with £6 matchday burgers until one hour after the game.

Pop in for a pint and a bite before heading to the ground, or come and see us afterwards.

We’ve also got DJ and karaoke from 5–8pm as our celebration weekend continues. Hopefully we’ll have a Watford win to sing about!

See you later,

Thanks to everyone who’s been in to see us. We opened quietly last Friday to get settled in and sort out any unexpected issues, so this weekend we’re ready to celebrate properly.

Today we’ve got Fizz Friday at £12 a bottle all day, and we’ll have the 90s music on all night.

If you haven’t been down yet, pop in, have a look around and come raise a glass with us. It’d be lovely to see you.
