After nearly 12 wonderful years, the time has come for us to say goodbye. 🥹❤️

As many of you may now know, we have sold The Shakespeare and our last day will be Sunday 15th November.

It’s been an incredible journey, filled with so many wonderful memories, laughter, friendships and unforgettable times.

We would like to say a massive THANK YOU to all our amazing staff, past and present, who have worked so hard and been part of our Shakespeare family. We couldn’t have done it without you. ❤️

And to all our wonderful, loyal customers — thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support, friendship and loyalty over the years. So many of you have become more than just customers, you’ve become friends and family.

We’ve shared the good times, the sad times and plenty of laughs along the way, and we will treasure those memories forever.

The Shakespeare has been so much more than just a pub to us. It’s been a huge part of our lives. ❤️

Although we’re sad to be leaving, we are looking forward to the next chapter.

So here’s to the last few weeks. Let’s make some more wonderful memories before we go! 🍻🥂

Thank you all for an amazing nearly 12 years. We will miss you more than words can say.

With all our love Jason and Lisa
