🍽️ MIDWEEK ROAST DAY AT THE POET LAUREATE 🍽️

The weather's looking a bit dark, a bit gloomy, and frankly a bit miserable... which sounds like the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a proper roast! 😋

Join us today for our Midweek Roast, served with a tea, coffee or cold soft drink for just £13.50.

⚽ And if that's not enough...
England kick off their World Cup campaign tonight, and we'll be showing the match live at The Poet!

To celebrate, our World Cup special ale "Wotter Shot!" will be just £4 a pint for the entire time England are playing. 🍺🏆

So whether you're here for the roast, the football, the beer, or all three, we've got your afternoon and evening sorted.

🍽️ Midweek Roast – £13.50 with a drink

🌍 THE WORLD CUP STARTS TONIGHT... 🌍⚽

For the next few weeks, perfectly sensible adults will become international football experts overnight.

Referees will apparently be blind. Managers will apparently be clueless. And somebody in the pub will definitely know exactly what should have happened after seeing one replay from 30 yards away.

And we're here for every minute of it.

Join us at The Poet Laureate tonight as the World Cup gets underway live on our screen.

🍺 Ice-cold drinks ⚽ Every kick, save and questionable VAR decision 🎉 Proper pub atmosphere 🏆 A tournament full of dreams, drama and inevitable heartbreak

Whether you're backing a favourite, supporting the underdog, or just coming down for a pint and a bit of football, there's no better place to watch it unfold.

Get your mates together, grab a seat, and let the shouting at the television commence.
The World Cup starts tonight. The Poet is ready.

⚽🍻 See you at the bar. :::

📢 A Little Tuesday Update 📢

From now on, our kitchen will be taking Tuesday evenings off for a well-earned rest, so there'll be no food service on Tuesday nights for the foreseeable future.

Don't worry though – the bar will still be open as usual, so you can still pop in for a pint, a glass of wine, or just a good old catch-up with friends. 🍻

And before anyone asks... yes, we'll still be serving food on our Poetry Nights! 🎤📖

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to welcoming you in for a drink (and, on Poetry Nights, something tasty to eat too!).

The Poet Laureate Team ❤️
