There’s something about a pie in winter.
Our Duck Cottage Pie is topped with creamy mash, baked until golden and served with honey roasted parsnip, carrot and caulini.
Rich, comforting and exactly what a chilly evening calls for.
Pair it with a glass of white or a bold red, and settle in.

Good pub fare, a cold drink and nowhere else you need to be.
That’s the plan at The Shakespeare this Saturday. 🍻
Whether you’re settling in for lunch, a long afternoon session or dinner with friends, we’ve got the food, the drinks and a seat waiting.
Then stick around for Drag Karaoke from 9pm — because Saturdays have a habit of getting louder as the night goes on. 🎤

As the sun goes down, The Shakespeare starts to glow.
A few drinks, a good meal and a catch-up with friends — not a bad way to spend a Friday night in Surry Hills. 🍻

A long weekend Sunday calls for something comforting.
Our Guinness Pie is packed with slow-cooked beef and rich Guinness gravy, tucked beneath golden pastry and best enjoyed with a pint alongside. 🍺🥧
Then settle in for the afternoon with 2 Bags Full live in the Front Bar from 4–7pm, CRAFTERNOONS pints from $9.50, and all the time in the world to enjoy an extra day off.
A pretty good way to spend a long weekend Sunday at The Shakespeare.
