The best pubs not showing the World Cup
Five reasons to pick our pubs not showing the World Cup
Beer gardens that beat big screens
Forget VAR decisions. After making a good bar decision, there’s a reason our beer gardens fill up fast. Think long, lazy afternoons in the open air. All surrounded by greenery, good company and countryside calm you just can’t get in front of a wall-mounted telly. Enjoy the view with your drink. Our countryside pubs are made for this. As the afternoon stretches out, enjoy the extra time to yourself, countryside style.
Seasonal food worth celebrating
When did you last cheer about delicious dishes? Our seasonal specials are a real reason to get excited. Everything’s made with the best of British summer produce and put together with lots of love and expertise. If you fancy something to share, our Picky Bits menu has small plates – perfect for long, chilled afternoons. Gather round the table, order a few things and let the natter flow. That’s our kind of match day.
Drinks worth raising a glass to
You won’t see beer getting thrown into the air in celebration by football fans here. Our drinks menu is a whole different kind of refreshment. Beautifully kept cask ales and British beers. A wine list with something for every mood. Cocktails and spritzes for those who fancy a little sparkle (prosecco very much included). It’s a selection made for proper summer toasting. And if you’re steering clear of alcohol, we’ve got plenty of soft and alcohol-free options too. No one gets left out, not even the designated driver. Now that’s a result.
A home from home for your whole team – dogs included
The best Saturdays and Sundays are the ones spent with the people and pets you love. Our dog-friendly pubs mean the four-legged members of the family don’t have to miss out either. There’s space for families too. Our Young Guests Menu means little ones are well catered for while the grown-ups get to relax properly. And if you love being by the water, our riverside pubs offer settings no football competition could compete with.
A world away from the England Games
A few hours in a lovely pub is one thing. But if you fancy more time escaping from a summer of sport, why not book a night or two? Our pubs with accommodation are tucked into some of the most beautiful corners of the British countryside. Wake up, take a walk, and come back through our doors for a Sunday roast. You’ll soon be congratulating yourself on making the best summer plans. Go on. You’ve earned it.
