⚽️🏆THE WORLD CUP IS COMING... AND SO ARE THE HOUSE RULES!🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Right then, a few people have been asking what the plans are for the World Cup, so here's everything you need to know before the nation collectively turns into football managers for a month…

🌏WORLD CUP HOUSE RULES!⚽️

‼️We will be showing every game where possible. Some of the really late kick-offs may be after we close, so unfortunately they won't be shown...
* Unless it's England. In which case we'll probably be here with matchsticks holding our eyes open.

• Sing loud and proud.📯🎶

* Scientific studies we definitely haven't made up suggest England are 37% better when the pub is singing Sweet Caroline.
• TRUST IN TUCHEL.
* I know we all think we're world-class managers, but Thomas Tuchel probably knows slightly more about football than Dave from Dalton who's had four Cruzcampo and is shouting "GET IT FORWARD!" every 12 seconds..

• If England get knocked out and you see me crying in the corner...
Please approach slowly and offer hugs, snacks and emotional support.🥲

• Every time you come to the bar you are legally required to say:
🦁"IT'S COMING HOME!"🦁
Failure to do so may result in your order being ignored while the next person is served.
(Probably.)

Keep your clothes on AT ALL
TIMES.

# If England win the World Cup,
all bets are off and I can't be held responsible for what happens after the final whistle.🔔

• Children WILL be allowed to stay for the duration of all England group games.
* Once the final whistle goes, however, it's home time. Even if Dad is halfway through explaining why he'd have brought on three different substitutes.🚶🏡

• If England finish 1st or 2nd in the group, there's a chance we could be playing at 12am or even 2am. We WILL be open.
® The kids, however, will not.
Sorry little lions🦁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Tables are first come, first served.
Translation: If you turn up five minutes before kick-off asking for "a table near the biggest TV", prepare for disappointment.🪑🤷
