‘Scrum’ on down to The Olive Branch for 2023 Rugby World Cup

With England due to face Samoa on October 7th for a place in the quarter finals, Hall & Woodhouse's Olive Branch is giving guests the chance to experience every England game in a special outdoor venue.


The pub has erected an outdoor marquee, bringing rugby fans the atmosphere of the stadium in the comfort of their local pub.


A range of craft beers and real cask ales will be on offer to accompany a special sharing snack menu for guests watching the matches. The Hall & Woodhouse team will provide table service throughout, so fans can catch every key moment of the matches.


Greg Cox, General Manager of The Olive Branch, said: “Rugby is a sport that really brings the community together and creates an incredible atmosphere for fans to indulge in.


“We’re looking forward to welcoming guests to our family-friendly environment to meet up with their friends and enjoy the tournament with great food and drink - bringing the best of the Rugby World Cup to Wimborne.”


The Olive Branch will show all England games, along with other main games throughout the tournament ending on 28th October. A special burger deal will be offered exclusively during the Rugby World Cup. For £15, fans will be able to enjoy any burger on the menu plus a pint of Outland Hazy IPA or Badger Beer, any soft drink, a 175ml house wine, or a pint of cider.



Tickets and bookings are not required to watch matches at The Olive Branch, and tables are offered on a first come first serve basis.
