⚓👻🍺 LOOK WHAT’S DOCKED AT THE CRUSADER TODAY! 🍺👻⚓

Ahoy there, you lovely lot! 🏴‍☠️

We’ve got a NEW GUEST ALE that’s sailed into port and taken up residence on the bar…

👻⚓ ADNAMS GHOST SHIP PALE ALE ⚓👻

And before anyone asks… NO, Lynn hasn’t bought a boat and NO, the pub isn’t haunted 😂👻

Here are a few fun facts about Ghost Ship:

🍺 It’s a 4.1% ABV pale ale
🌊 Brewed by Adnams in Southwold, Suffolk
👻 The name was inspired by the ghostly legends and eerie history of the Suffolk coast
🌿 Brewed with hops including Citra, giving it those lovely citrusy, hoppy flavours
🍋 Expect refreshing notes of lemon, lime and tropical fruit with a crisp, bitter finish
⚓ And apparently the name also gives a little nod to Adnams’ maritime roots — very fitting for something that’s just docked at The Crusader!

So, who’s brave enough to tackle the Ghost Ship? 👻🍺

Get yourselves down, grab a pint and give our latest guest ale a try before this ship sets sail again! ⛵😂

⚓ NOW POURING AT THE CRUSADER ⚓

🍺👻 GHOST SHIP — COME AND GET ON BOARD! 👻🍺

😊 Polite, friendly & welcoming to all our lovely customers
🤝 A proper team player — we all muck in together
💪 Reliable and not afraid of a busy bar
🕺 Able to work a mixture of days, evenings AND weekends — weekend availability is a must!

You’ll need to be 18+ to apply.

Experience is great, but having the right personality and attitude is just as important to us. ❤️

☀️🍺 SUN’S OUT, PINTS OUT… AND WE’VE GOT FOOTBALL TOO! ⚽🔥

Well you lovely lot… WEDNESDAY is looking like an absolute BELTER at The Crusader! 😎☀️🍻

Temperatures are hitting highs of 30°C today AND tomorrow 🥵🔥 so our beer garden is ready and waiting for you!

Grab yourself an ice-cold pint, a chilled cider or a WKD, find a sunny spot and enjoy those summer vibes. ☀️🍺

But while we humans might love sitting out with a cold one… PLEASE think about our four-legged mates. 🐶❤️

🐾 Dogs simply can’t cool themselves down like we can.
🐾 Heatstroke can happen incredibly quickly.
🐾 A dog has never died from missing a couple of walks… but sadly hundreds die from heatstroke.

So please leave the fur babies at home, in the shade, with plenty of fresh water and maybe a cheeky frozen treat! 🧊🐕❤️

Zeus & Moo certainly won’t be complaining about putting their paws up! 😂🐾

⚽ AND THEN TONIGHT… IT’S MATCH TIME! ⚽

🔥 MAN UTD 🆚 LEEDS UNITED 🔥
⏰ 7:30PM

Who’s joining us?! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

We’ve got FULL MATCH COVERAGE WITH SOUND ACROSS ALL 10 SCREENS! 📺🔊⚽

So get yourselves down early, grab your favourite spot, get the pints in and let’s get behind the lads! 💙💛

☀️ Sunshine
🍺 Ice-cold pints
🐾 Fur babies safely chilling at home
⚽ Man Utd v Leeds
📺 10 screens
🔊 FULL SOUND

Sounds like a pretty cracking Wednesday to us! 😎🍻

COME ON LEEDS! 💙💛🤍
MARCHING ON TOGETHER! ⚽🍺

09/08/2026

🍺🎉 NEW SEASON… NEW FREEBIE! 🎉🍺

Right then you lovely lot… a brand-new football season deserves a brand-new giveaway! ⚽🍻

But there’s a little twist… 👀

🎟️ OUR SCRATCH CARDS ARE LIMITED AND WILL BE GIVEN OUT COMPLETELY AT RANDOM THROUGHOUT AUGUST! 🎟️

That’s right… there’s no set day, no set time and no way of knowing when they’re coming out! 😂🍀

You could just happen to be stood at the bar ordering one of our selected drinks when…

BOOM 💥 SCRATCH CARD TIME!

And if you’re lucky enough to scratch off a winner…

🍺 THERE’S A FREE PINT ON US! 🍺

So the big question is…

👀 COULD YOU BE IN THE CRUSADER AT EXACTLY THE RIGHT TIME?

🍺 Selected Draught Drinks
• John Smith’s Smooth
• Strongbow
• Fosters
• Cruzcampo

🍾 Selected Bottled Drinks
• Bulmers Original
• Old Mout – All Flavours
• Desperados
• Heineken
• Heineken 0.0
• Newcastle Brown Ale

⚠️ Remember — buying one of these drinks DOESN’T automatically get you a scratch card. They’ll be handed out completely randomly while our limited stock lasts!

You might get one with your first pint… 🍺
You might be here when a batch suddenly comes out… 👀
Or you might watch your mate get one and immediately regret saying, “Nah, I’m stopping at home tonight.” 😂😂

That’s the fun of it!

⚽ New football season
🍻 Cold pints
🎟️ Random scratch cards
🍺 FREE PINTS waiting to be won

RIGHT PLACE. RIGHT TIME. RIGHT PINT. 🍀🍺

⚽🍻 Well folks, that’s the World Cup done and dusted for another 4 years! 🍻⚽

A massive well done to our sweepstake winners…

🥇 Tom had Spain and has only gone and bagged himself £150! Drinks are on you then, Tom… 👀🍺

🥈 Tosh & Michelle had Argentina and take home £50! That should just about cover a round… maybe 😂

Huge congratulations to our winners, and an even bigger thank you to everyone who watched the tournament with us at The Crusader.

The atmosphere has been class, the pints have been flowing, the refereeing has been questionable, and the football chat has been absolutely expert… obviously. 😏

Now bring on the new football season so we can get back to shouting at the telly, blaming VAR, and pretending we’d have scored that chance ourselves! ⚽🍻

See you all at The Crusader!

Massive thank you to all that came to see us during World Cup xx
