😡😡😡😡😡

Very proud of both of our pool teams tonight. Both were unlucky to lose their divisional cup finals, but played brilliantly 👏👏👏👏

Massive thanks to all who came to the 5th year anniversary bash, it really was a cracking night. Enjoyed the karaoke with Charlie, so much so that he's back on this Friday from 7.30 for more karaoke. As always your support is greatly appreciated 🥂🎤🍺🎵🍻🎶

Let's try something different. Football card behind the bar, £2 a go, £80 to the winner. Rest of money goes towards half the cost of the entertainment. Open to ideas for further events, race night, live bands, etc. Come and join the fun 🍻🤪😜🤪😜🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

Doors shut, we're full inside and out. If you're a regular, you've got my number, give me a bell as I've saved a few spaces. C'mon boys, let's do this 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🦁🦁🦁

So it's the big one tonight ⚽ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 vs 🇩🇪 🏐. As per usual it's a free Sambuca 🥃 for every England goal, so let's hope there's plenty of them 🤞🤞. Free grub at half time is hot dogs 🌭🌭, for no other reason than I like them 😁😁. See you all later, come on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Free Sambuca with every England goal for the duration of the tournament 🥂🥂. Free buffet at half time. Even managed to set up a TV in the marquee, so get down to your local boozer and support the boys. Come on England ⚽⚽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🍺🍻

Bar staff required. Not entirely sure of the shifts yet, so flexibility is desirable. Must be honest and trustworthy, have previous experience and ideally know either Suzanne or myself personally. Please message me direct, or message the Morning Star page rather than replying to this post. Cheers, John 🍺🍻🥂

Says it all. You've all got my number, so give me a bell but we're at the max allowed under current restrictions 😭😭

For tonight's Europa league final, we'll be doing a free sambuca for each United goal, and there's a few sandwiches, sausage rolls etc. See you later 🍺🍺, come on United 👹👹👹👹

All ready for tomorrow. Looking forward to serving you all without the hailstone and rain 😂😂. Few changes inside, here's a taster 👌👌🥂🥂🍸🍸🍻🍻

We're open 10 til 7 today folks. Bring a coat just in case ☔☔🌦️🌦️. We'll then be closed until Monday as there's still some work to be done on the interior of the pub. Look forward to seeing you all soon 🍺🍻🥂🍸

Due to the unexpected ☀️☀️☀️, we're open today. Bring a jacket ☔☀️☔☀️☔☀️🍻🍺🥂

OK guys, we'll be open (beer garden only) from 10am til 7pm Friday 23rd April to celebrate St George's Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Quick rundown on the rules as per Bury MBC : 'table service is a requirement as is the 'rule of 6' and maximum mixing of two households. Customers must still wear face coverings, except when seated at a table to eat or drink (must still wear face coverings when entering / walking to the table, visiting WCs, etc.) Social Distancing requirements still apply (2 metre or reduction to 1 metre with mitigation)'.

As you have done previously, please adhere to the rules. It will hopefully not be long until the rules are relaxed, let's all do our bit to make this happen.

Very much looking forward to seeing you all on Friday 🍻🍺🍻🍺

Quick update on our plans for coming out of lockdown. Having looked closely at the government guidelines and after consultation with licencing at Bury MBC, we have decided not to open tomorrow. As always, customer safety is paramount. The good news is that we've managed to retain all our staff and we're all missing our customers. We will be open (again with certain restrictions) on the 17th May and look forward to seeing you all then. It's quite possible that we'll see some of you before then, just in another beer garden, not ours 😆🍺🍻🥂. Meanwhile, stay safe and thanks for your continued support. See you soon!

Happy New Year to all our friends and customers. Really hope to see a lot more of you all next year. May the New Year bring you all what you wish for. Stay safe, see you all on the other side 🥂🥂

R.I.P. Chris. Top man, sadly missed 💔💔

Everyone at FC United would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Chris Barbour aka 'Landlord Chris' who recently passed away.

He was a huge FC fan and will be greatly missed.

One of our own.

♥️🤍🖤

Bonus ball has been suspended until further notice guys. People who have paid upfront will not lose out it will go on to the next sheet when everything goes back to normal. Stay safe and Thankyou for all your support❤️

Didn't think I'd need to post this to be honest, but hey ho, Radcliffe rumours are going into overdrive for a change. The pub is completely closed until the powers that be tell me otherwise. It's horrible for my staff and I, also for our regulars. This pandemic needs dealing with so I'm following the rules as a responsible landlord. Licencing popped in on Saturday night. Barlow, Lucy and I were having a quick drink (well, not Lucy😂). They were happy, just a routine check as the bar lights were on. I'd like to thank the regulars who have sent me messages of support at this difficult time. Look forward to seeing you all when this is over. Thanks, John

After the success of a fortnight ago, I've decided to do Karaoke every two weeks. Jono is running the show, same format as last time, free shot for every singer. Let's make the most of it, hopefully the pub will remain open, but we're living in uncertain times. See you all tomorrow night 🎶🎵🍻🍺🎤🎤🎵🎶

Karaoke tomorrow night 6th March from 7.30 with Jono. Free shot for each singer and I'll do a prize for the best singer. Hopefully do this at least first Friday of the month if we get enough interest 🎶🎶🍺🍺🎶🎶

Beck's Vier only £2.30 per pint while stocks last 😲😲😲🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻 Wishing all our customers a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🕺🍸🎉

Still a bit tender, so I'll do a proper thank you post tomorrow. We made £1,245 to be split between British Heart Foundation and Bury Hospice. Thanks to everyone involved, Charlie would be proud of the people of Radcliffe ❤️

Eon's systems are down. So they've taken my money, but can't process them. Upshot is that we're unfortunately having to close at 6 tonight. Fingers crossed we'll be open as usual tomorrow. Sorry for any inconvenience, John

This event has been such a success that it's now in its fifth year! We've donated £4,000 so far to good causes in the memory of our much loved and missed friend Charlie Crompton. Let's get behind the event this year and smash our £5,000 target. All welcome to play, donate raffle prizes or help in any way. For further info speak to John in the Morning Star. Hope to see you all there.

Due to unforseen circumstances we've had to close early today. All is well, see you all tomorrow. Thanks, John

Unfurnished room to let above the pub. Approx 15ft by 15ft , shared bathroom and kitchen. £60 per week including bills, (except council tax if applicable). Must know either myself or a close friend of mine. Nip in and speak to John if interested.
