⚠️ A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM LYNN & THE CRUSADER TEAM ⚠️

Firstly, I want to personally say how deeply sorry I am to the families and children who were enjoying our b**r garden when a firework was set off.

Our b**r garden should be somewhere you can sit, relax, have a drink and enjoy time with your family without something like this happening.

As a mum and a nanny myself, I completely understand how frightening and upsetting it must have been, especially for the little ones who were happily playing at the time. ❤️

Please know that I take what happened extremely seriously.

The Crusader does NOT allow fireworks anywhere on our premises, and setting one off in a busy b**r garden where children and families are present is completely unacceptable.

We have checked our CCTV, the individual responsible has been identified and they have been barred from The Crusader.

I am genuinely sorry that this happened while you were visiting us. I never want anyone to feel unsafe at The Crusader, and I certainly never want parents to have to worry about the safety of their children while spending time here.

Going forward, anyone found bringing fireworks onto our premises or attempting to set them off will be asked to leave immediately and will risk being permanently barred.

To the families affected tonight, please accept my sincere personal apology. ❤️

Thank you to all our customers for your understanding and for helping us keep The Crusader the safe, friendly and welcoming community pub we all want it to be.

Lynn & The Crusader Team ❤️

🏇 RACING FROM 1:40PM 🏇
Punchestown, Redcar & plenty more!

Get your picks in, shout “COME ONNNNN!” at a horse that absolutely cannot hear you… then blame the jockey when your 20/1 cert decides it can’t be bothered! 😂🐎💨
