Some guests become more than customers, they become part of our story.

There’s something truly special about a Sunday lunch shared with familiar faces. Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming our three lovely regular ladies back to The Last Post, bringing their beautiful smiles, warm company, and the kind of happiness that makes a restaurant feel like home.

Over a glass of w**e, a pint of Guinness, and a little twist on our chef’s special, they enjoyed the best of both worlds, fresh Marlborough oysters and whitebait fritters, all brought together on one plate.

But beyond the food and drinks, it’s these little moments that mean the most to us. The familiar faces who return, the laughter shared around the table, and the friendships that quietly grow with every visit.

Because a great restaurant isn’t built on food alone; it’s built on the people who keep coming back.

To our three lovely ladies, thank you for making us part of your Sundays. It’s always a pleasure to have you with us. Here’s to many more lunches, countless smiles, and beautiful moments together.

The Last Post, where good food brings people together, and familiar faces make it feel like home.

96 Years of Beautiful Memories ❤️🎂🍻

Some guests become more than guests, they become a cherished part of our story.

Today, we celebrate Marie on her wonderful 96th birthday. As one of our pioneer guests, she holds a very special place in our hearts. ❤️

96 years of life, laughter, memories, friendship and countless stories and thankfully, she still knows that a good birthday celebration isn’t complete without a proper Guinness!

A beautiful milestone, a beautiful smile, wonderful company, and of course… a Guinness in hand. Because apparently, some traditions only get better with age!

Happy 96th Birthday, Marie!
Thank you for being such a special part of our journey and for giving us another beautiful memory to celebrate.

96 years young and still keeping the Guinness flowing!

With love and warmest wishes,
The Last Post Family

Same Same but Different.

One wakes you up.
One slows you down.
Put them together and good luck tomorrow.

Espresso Martini × Guinness
The perfect combination of “I’ll have one” and “just one more.”
