Who's coming down to support Fraser at his very first gig tomorrow evening? 🎤

With the weather forecast looking fantastic and temperatures set to hit 28°C tomorrow, we've decided to move the live music outside into the beer garden where everyone can make the most of the sunshine🌞

Come along, grab some food and drinks, and enjoy a relaxed evening of live music in the open air.

Not only is this Fraser's first ever live performance, it's also our first outdoor live music event of 2026, so it's a bit of a milestone all round! 🎉

There's plenty more room outside, but if you'd like one of the best spots, come down early and secure a table before they fill up.

If you know, you know... ☀️🌿

One of our favourite things about this time of year is seeing our garden come to life again.

A quiet corner, a bit of sunshine, something nice to eat and a drink in hand.

Not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

🎙️EXCITING NEWS at the Crown And Crossed Swords HQ! 🤩

Most of you will know Fraser from the restaurant, where he's a familiar face to many of our guests. THIS THURSDAY , he'll be taking centre stage in the Main Bar.

After a captivating performance at our recent Open Mic Night, we knew we had to get him back for a full evening in the Main Bar.

We're incredibly proud to have one of our own performing here, and we can't wait for more of our customers to hear what we've been talking about.

Fraser will be singing a mix of jazz, swing and Rat Pack classics, along with songs from artists such as Sinatra, Dean Martin and Fitzgerald.

📅 Thursday 25th June
🕢 7.30pm
📍 Main Bar

If you joined us for Open Mic Night, you'll know just how special his performance was. If you missed it, now's your chance.

All are welcome, and we'd love to see you there.

We had the pleasure of meeting Coco yesterday ❤️

What a lovely girl she is. Gentle, friendly and more than happy to soak up all the attention she could get.

Knowing she's a rescue dog makes it even harder to understand how anyone could ever be unkind to animals. Just look at her.

Thankfully, she's now got a wonderful home, plenty of love and a life she deserves.

We thought she deserved a little spot on our page today.

Show Coco some love 🐾❤️

🍻 International Beer Day 🍻

Today we're celebrating the journey behind every pint.

From the humble hop that helps create the flavours and aromas we know and love...

To the independent breweries whose passion, skill and hard work turn simple ingredients into exceptional beer...

To the team behind the bar who take pride in serving every pint at its very best...

There are a lot of people involved before that first sip.

We're proud to work with some fantastic independent breweries and equally proud of the team who help bring their beer to your table every day.

So whether you're enjoying a local ale, a crisp lager or your usual favourite, today is a chance to appreciate the people behind it.

Cheers to the growers, brewers, draymen, cellar teams, bar staff and beer lovers alike.

Happy International Beer Day from all of us at Crown & Crossed Swords 🍻
