60 seconds of moments from one unforgettable week @theopen ⛳️🍕

Busy ovens,
Blue skies,
Endless pizzas,
And one incredible atmosphere🔥

What an experience it was to represent our local area and be part of such an iconic event⛳️

A week surrounded by so many people enjoying great golf, great weather and of course great pizza🍕

We have honestly loved every minute! And to everyone who stopped by for a slice, came and said hello, or supported us throughout the week THANKYOU!👏🏼

Now it’s time to give the ovens (and I guess the staff) a few days off😂

The pizzas are flying out this week at The Open⛳️

But there’s one that keeps coming out on top…🏆

This is ‘The Stinger’🐝 🍕
The perfect hot honey + pepperoni combo🔥

Have you tried it yet, or is there another pizza on our menu that gets your vote?👇🔥

⛳🏌️ The first official day of The Open is here, and after such an incredible atmosphere yesterday, we can’t wait to do it all again!

It was fantastic welcoming so many visitors to The Grasshopper, with golf fans from near and far popping in to soak up the excitement. We even had a few famous faces join us for a drink, and our very own barman Ben had his day made when he spotted Wyndham Clark enjoying a drink outside with the lads. Of course, he had to grab a quick photo! 📸🍻

We absolutely love meeting people from all over the world, and it’s what makes The Open week so special. Whether you’re here for the golf, the football, or just looking for a friendly pub with a great atmosphere, you’ll always receive a warm welcome at The Grasshopper.

If you’re heading to The Open today, be sure to pop in for a pint, some great company, and soak up the atmosphere with us. Here’s to another brilliant day! 🍺💚

Dramatic winter skies over Royal Birkdale.
Snow showers rolling in from the Irish Sea as the clouds blush pink beneath the Wolf Supermoon. A truly special time of year.
