The Duke of Bridgewater/Azyl Public House and Resturant are embracing the English culture by celebrating St Georges Day on Wednesday 23rd April. The pub has Polish proprietors and is a popular venue for the local Polish community and English regulars, who enjoy its relaxed atmosphere, Polish food and Polish beer. 

"In Poland we regularly celebrate a variety of saint's days, special days and public holidays," explained Jolenta and Piotr Sobolewska, and Piotr Bonder who are joint landlords at the Duke of Bridgewater.  "We want to show the respect the Polish community has for English customs.  We will be offering our customers a simple English menu which includes an English cream tea.  In this way we hope to give the community the opportunity to learn about the legend of St George whilst enjoying traditional English food"

This initiative has been supported by the Changing Community in Crewe Project, funded by the Home Office, and which aims to improve communication and community cohesion between emerging and existing communities. Project workers have provided information and advice about St George's Day to the Duke of Bridgewater.
