❤️ Thank You for the Memories!
Now the flags are down, the dust has settled, and a week has passed since England’s final match, we’ve finally had a chance to reflect on what was one of the most unforgettable five weeks in the Shakespeare’s history.
To every customer, friend, regular, and football supporter who walked through our doors during the FIFA World Cup 2026… thank you.
Together we laughed, celebrated unforgettable victories, endured heartbreaking defeats, sang far too loudly, shared countless pints, plenty of Full Monty breakfasts, and created memories that will stay with us for years to come.
This photo says it all. As staff got to let their hair down on Tuesday at their staff party.
Behind every perfectly poured pint, every award-winning fish & chips, every chant, every smile, and every unforgettable moment was this incredible team. They worked tirelessly with one goal—to give every one of you the very best World Cup experience possible—and we’re unbelievably proud of every single one of them.
To everyone who queued patiently, cheered on your nation, embraced supporters from around the world, and made the Shakespeare your World Cup home… thank you for your kindness, your loyalty, and for reminding us why we love what we do.
As our motto has always said…
Enter a Stranger. Leave a Friend.
The World Cup may be over, but the friendships, laughter, and memories will stay with us forever.
From all of us at the Shakespeare Pub, thank you for allowing us to be part of your World Cup story.
Here’s to the next match, the next tournament, and the next excuse to raise a pint together.
Thank you for the memories. ❤️⚽🍻
