“But this time, as a thank you, we’ve extended the offer so our customers can have up to one drink a week throughout October.

“Our customers have been fantastic in supporting their local pubs post-lockdown, and this is our way of giving something back to them.

“It continues to be a difficult time.

“This offer is about allowing our customers to continue to enjoy their local in a safe environment.”
