Hi Peter, thank you for sharing this with us. We're politically neutral and this appears to be the action of an individual pub. We'd be grateful if you could send us a private message to say which pub this picture was taken at? Best wishes, Chris

We are a pub company and do not get involved with politics. Whilst pubs are a great place for debate of any kind it is not the role of the pub to appear to influence political debate and therefore we do not permit advertising of this nature in our pubs.
For the first time our teams have raised £2m in a year for

, making us the charity's top fundraising corporate partner in 2021!
We're so proud of our teams for their inspiring work, showing what a key role pubs in the UK play supporting charities & communities 💚
Congratulations to

Our iconic London pubs rang last orders yesterday. From all our teams in the capital we wish you a Merry Christmas & bring on 2021 when we will be back and stronger than ever. It's bye for now but we’re looking forward to opening those doors and pulling you a well-deserved pint.
Good luck to two of our directors who are swapping their business suits for running gear this Sunday as they take on the

We’re deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and we are now reflecting on her years of service. Our thoughts go out to the Royal Family and we join the nation in mourning her loss
We’re sad to close our pubs in England but hopefully not for long. Right now it’s important everyone plays their part to keep people safe – our teams have been amazing this week closing pubs down safely. We hope to see you all soon for a freshly-poured drink and Christmas cheer🍻
Merry Christmas everyone - it’s a year that has been beyond difficult and it still feels strange that so many of our pubs can’t open today. We hope you can all spend Christmas safely with loved ones, either in person or virtually, and we look forward to a happier 2021🍻

While pubs were closed our brewing & distribution teams were flat out brewing & bottling for supermarkets, collecting casks from pubs & refilling them with fresh beer. Check out some of the heroes behind the scenes in our business who made that happen.
We're expanding delivery & click & collect takeaway to 40 more pubs in the North West, East Anglia & East Midlands. From 10 June they’ll offer a range of classic pub dishes including fish & chips & limited range of packaged beers, wines and soft drinks.
