The Tulip 🌷boasts a large sun trap garden area plus 3 internal bar areas including our sports bar area featuring a pool table, 2 dart boards, 5 TV screens and our famous nostalgia juke box. The Tulip is a local Gray & Sons pub situated in the heart of Old Springfield with a rich history dating back to the 18th Century. The current Landlord & Landlady, Lee and Lindsey have run the pub since March 2

025 and in that time have made many improvements, including the introduction of Sky and TNT Sports and a new daily food menu. Ensuring that the traditional side of the pub is preserved, The Tulip boasts 3 main bars to cater for all ages. The Saloon bar is the oldest part of the building, with wooden beams and a traditional fire place providing the perfect atmosphere for those more intimate or quieter catch up's. The In-between Lounge area has leather chairs and low level lighting, perfect for a few beers or glasses of wine with friends. The main sports bar is a very large open area which has been decorated to a high standard and boasts a state of the art sound and entertainment system, a Nostaliga Jukebox, Pool table and 2 Dartboards. We also offer DJ services and catering for all special occasions. Food is available Monday-Thursday 12 noon till 3pm and 5pm till 8pm, Friday and Saturday 12 noon till 3pm and 12 noon till 6pm Sundays. We also host Embers Wood Fired Pizza in our carpark from 4pm till 8pm every Friday and Saturday.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️ WHAT A NIGHT ⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

What a night we had for England’s opening World Cup match as the Three Lions kicked off their campaign in style with a fantastic 4-2 victory over Croatia! ⚽️

The atmosphere was incredible, and it was brilliant to see so many of you enjoying the occasion with us at The Tulip 🌷

Now, a little reminder ahead of England’s second group game against Ghana on Tuesday night, once again with a 9pm kick-off 🕘

🇬🇧 Challenge 21 is in operation! If you’re lucky enough to look under 21, you’ll need valid ID to prove you’re over 18.

⚽ No bookings required! We are operating on a first come, first served basis once again. However, once we’re full, we’re full.

⏰ We reached capacity by kick-off on Wednesday and expect similar demand on Tuesday. If you’re planning to arrive after kick-off, please drop us a DM beforehand and we’ll add you to our late arrivals guest list and inform our door team.

🍻 Our Garden Bar will once again be open from 7pm, serving drinks throughout the evening, so there’s no need to head inside if you’re watching the game in the garden.

🍕 🥩 This Tuesday (and Saturdays game) we are being joined by both Embers Pizzas AND Nola Bayou Kitchen in our car park from 5pm PLUS our kitchen is open 5pm till 8pm.

📋 Due to licensing restrictions, we will be closing 30 minutes after the final whistle.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 And finally, most importantly… wear those England colours with pride!

We loved walking around The Tulip and seeing a sea of England shirts, painted faces and flags flying proudly. Let’s do it all again on Tuesday! 😊
