Long shot but I don’t suppose anybody has any board games or anything that they don’t mind gifting, we have a couple but want some more for when kids come in with their parents so that they have something to do Tia❤️ ###

🎤👕 CRAP SHIRT KARAOKE NIGHT — SATURDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER! 👕🎤

At The Horse & Jockey, our bar staff aren’t just paid colleagues — they’re part of the family. ❤️🍺 So we’re handing them the reins and giving each of them the chance to put on their own night!

And first up… NICOLA! 😂

Our charming, gorgeous bar lady who enjoys the finer things in life — a glass of w**e 🍷, relaxing in the hot tub 🫧 and apparently making questionable decisions when it comes to pub entertainment…

Her choice?

👕💩 CRAP SHIRT KARAOKE NIGHT! 💩👕

📅 SATURDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER

The rules are ridiculously simple…

Turn up wearing the worst, ugliest, most embarrassing shirt you can possibly find.

Hawaiian shirt from 1997? 🌺
Hideous Christmas shirt three months early? 🎄
Something so bright we need to hand out sunglasses? 😎
A shirt covered in your mate’s face? PERFECT. 😂

Then get yourself up for KARAOKE! 🎤🎶

Sing brilliantly. Sing terribly. Sing like you’ve had six pints and suddenly believe you’re Freddie Mercury. We genuinely don’t care — just get involved and have a laugh!

🏆 THE WORST SHIRT OF THE NIGHT WINS A FREE DRINK! 🍺🍷

And it’ll be judged by our crap bar staff…

Sorry.

Our BAR STAFF IN CRAP SHIRTS. 👀😂

So raid the wardrobe, charity shops, your dad’s collection from the 80s or create something absolutely horrendous yourself.

Saturday 5th September — Crap Shirts, Karaoke, Drinks & plenty of laughs at The Horse & Jockey! 🐎🍻

PUT YOUR REQUEST IN! 🎵

Whatever you want to hear, let the DJ know and he’ll do his very best to get it played!

This isn’t about sticking to one genre — tonight is about playing the music YOU want to hear! 🙌

🍗🥪🍕 AND THERE’S FREE FOOD! 🍕🥪🍗

From 9PM we’ll be putting on a BUFFET SPREAD, so get yourself down, grab a drink, have something to eat and get ready for the night! 🤤

🍹🍺 HAVE YOU TRIED OUR NEW AU CANS YET? 🍺🍹

If you haven’t, tonight seems like a pretty good excuse! 👀😏

😩 “MUMMMMM, I’M HUNGRY!”
🙄 “DADDDD, I’M BORED!”
👦 “Can my friend come over?”
🍽️ “What time’s tea?”
💷 “Can I have some money?”
😤 “There’s NOTHING to do!”
📱 “The WiFi’s not working!”

Parents… WE’RE NEARLY THERE! 😂🎉

The school summer holidays are almost over and, for most of us, September can’t come quick enough! 🤣

So this BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY, instead of spending another day hearing “I’m bored” every 7 minutes, bring the little cherubs down to The Horse & Jockey and let us help save what’s left of your sanity! 🍺😂

🎱 FREE POOL — 11AM–3PM
🎶 FREE JUKEBOX — 3PM–6PM
🎯 Darts
🎲 Board games
🍺 Plenty of cold drinks for the grown-ups
🥤 Plenty for the kids too!

Get them off the sofa, get yourself out of the house and enjoy a much-earned Bank Holiday drink while the kids find something else to complain about. 😂

You’ve survived six weeks.

YOU DESERVE THAT PINT. 🍺🏆

📍 The Horse & Jockey
🐴 Bank Holiday Monday
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Families welcome
🐶 well behaved dogs welcome too on their leads.

Come and spend your Bank Holiday with us — good drinks, good laughs and hopefully someone else hearing “MUM, I’M BORED!” for a change. 🤣🍻

And the fun doesn’t stop on Friday…

🎤 SATURDAY — KARAOKE

📣🍻 WE’RE HIRING AT THE HORSE & JOCKEY! 🍻📣

Fancy joining our slightly crazy (but brilliant 😜) pub family?

We’re looking for some friendly, reliable and hard-working people to join the team at The Horse & Jockey! 🐎🍺

We’ve got opportunities for:

🍻 Bar work – pulling pints, serving customers and somehow remembering who ordered the Guinness when five people are talking to you at once 😂

🧹 Cleaning – helping us keep the place looking fresh, tidy and ready for another busy day.

🥛 Glass collecting – because apparently customers haven’t yet learned to return their own glasses… we’re working on it. 👀😂

NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IS EXPECTED! 🙌

We’re not bothered if you’ve never pulled a pint in your life or don’t know your l***r from your bitter just yet. If you’ve got a willingness to learn, a good attitude and you’re happy to get stuck in, we’ll show you the ropes.

We’re a fast-paced pub, especially at weekends and during events, so there will be times when it’s busy, loud and you’re wondering where another 47 empty glasses suddenly appeared from. 😂🍻

But that’s all part of it!

❤️ Great team
🍺 Great atmosphere
🙌 Weekend work available
🔄 Cover work / various shifts
📚 Chance to learn and gain experience
🐎 Become part of the Horse & Jockey family

We want people who are reliable, willing to learn and aren’t afraid of a bit of hard work. You don’t need to walk through the door knowing everything — attitude means far more to us than experience.

⚠️ We should probably mention… working in a pub does occasionally involve actual work. 😂 You may encounter busy bars, full glass trays, mops, customers asking “Am I next?” when they definitely aren’t, and someone ordering a Guinness just as you thought you’d finished serving. 🍺🤣

If that hasn’t scared you off, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

📄 APPLY WITHIN
Pop into The Horse & Jockey, drop off your CV and ask for Gemma.

Know somebody who’d be perfect? Tag them below or give this post a share! 👇

Come and join the team, learn something new, have a laugh along the way and become part of the Horse & Jockey family. 🐎💚🍻
