🐕 Dogs welcome inside
🐾 Water bowls available

🌍🍻 A MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone who joined us last night for our World Cup Opening Ceremony Quiz! What a cracking night it was… plenty of laughs, dodgy answers, questionable football knowledge and enough tequila to make this morning feel like extra time 😵‍💫🥃🇲🇽

Big shoutout to Daniel James as well for taking the time to put together and host the quiz — top effort mate 👏⚽

We hope everyone had a brilliant night, enjoyed the tequila shots, and that your heads aren’t too sore this morning… 🍻😂

Same again soon, you beautiful lot! 🌮⚽🍺
