🍻⚽ ENGLAND v NORWAY TONIGHT! ⚽🍻

If you’re planning on shouting at the ref, questioning the manager’s life choices, or celebrating like you’ve scored the winner yourself… you might as well do it in the pub! 🍺

🍻 Today’s entertainment is FREE… 🍻

Poor Toni’s on the bar until 5pm and she’s hanging on by a thread after last night’s antics. 🤢😂

Come in, order a pint, have a laugh, and give her a bit of grief… just don’t ask for a fancy cocktail or she’ll probably cry. 🍹🤣

Bonus points if you mention how fresh you feel this morning. 😏

Get yourselves down to The Packet Inn and help (or hinder) her through the day! 🍺💚
