All the action in one place
Expect wall-to-wall action, a room full of opinions, and the kind of atmosphere that makes every moment feel bigger.
Payday’s arrived, the evenings are stretching out a little longer, and suddenly staying in feels like a terrible use of both.
Right on cue, the Weekend Takeover is back at our pub. This is where we shift up a gear and become far more tempting than whatever plans were loosely floating around earlier in the week. Something is happening in every corner, whether that’s live sport drawing a crowd, a quiz turning competitive, or trying a classic Pimm's.
Pimm’s was first created in London in the 1840s by James Pimm and has since become closely associated with the British summer season. Pimm’s No.1 is a gin-based spirit drink, traditionally served with lemonade, fruit and mint.
All you really need to do is show up and settle in.
The pubs are lively, the drinks are flowing, and payday weekend is already shaping up nicely, but we thought we’d throw in something extra while we’re at it.
