Remembrance is about taking a moment to reflect, honour and remember those who have served our country.

We’re inviting you to get involved in this year’s Poppy Appeal by picking up one of our limited-edition poppy glasses, designed by Jane Wilkes, in support of the Royal British Legion.

Available in two sizes:
🍺 Pint – £3.50
🍺 Half pint – £3.00

100% of the proceeds will go towards the Royal British Legion, helping them continue their invaluable work supporting serving and ex-serving members of the Armed Forces and their families.

Thank you for helping us make a difference. Available from the bar while stocks last.

🌺 Lest we forget.
