Your local, in your pocket

This is the app for The George IV, a two-bar local on Knight Street in Sawbridgeworth. It brings everything we would otherwise cram onto a chalkboard, a poster in the window and a Facebook post into one place you can open in a couple of taps. Check what is on this week, see tonight’s event, look through photos from the last party, or find the quickest way to walk here.

It is built for the people who actually use the pub: regulars who want to know when the quiz starts, dog walkers after a quiet pint in the garden, families coming for Sunday lunch, and anyone visiting Sawbridgeworth who fancies somewhere friendly. If you have ever asked us “what’s on this week?”, this app is the answer.

It is made by the team behind the bar, not an agency. Dawn and Albert run the pub day to day, and the app is put together in-house alongside our website. That means when something changes at short notice — a band cancelling, a match moving kick-off, an extra open mic added — the diary here changes with it, and we are the ones you are talking to if something looks wrong.

Everything here is free, there is nothing to buy, and you only need an account for the members’ room and for sharing videos. Have a look around, and if you spot something that needs fixing, tell us.
