The Weekend Takeover at Greene King

24th - 26th April

Payday’s landed, and your group chat’s gone from quiet as a mouse to suspiciously pinging nonstop (classic).

Good thing the Weekend Takeover is back! This is where we turn it up a notch. Think buzzing atmospheres, live events, and menus so good they practically drag you to the bar. Oh, and because we like to keep things interesting, there’s also a little something extra you could win on our competition page.

So whether you're celebrating payday, dodging the kitchen, or just in it for the vibes, we're bringing something different to the table. Trust us, you’ll want a seat.

Apple-solutely £3 a pint

Let’s talk about the real reason you’re here… £3 pints of cider. Yes, seriously. But (there’s always a but), you’ll need to be in the know. This one’s exclusively on the Greene King App, tucked nicely into the exclusive menu like the hidden gem it is.

Now, here’s where things get interesting. We've got a range of popular ciders ready to go, so depending on which Greene King pub you end up in, you could be sipping on Strongbow Original, Inch's Apple Cider, Aspall Cyder, or Thatchers Gold. Think of it as a cider lottery… except every outcome is a win.

Payday energy hits different

There’s something about a pub on payday. The buzz at the bar, the background chatter, the shared relief that the weekend has officially arrived. It’s not something you can recreate at home.
