Greene King is offering complimentary pints of Guinness this weekend to coincide with the start of the Six Nations rugby tournament.
To claim your free pint, simply reserve a table for any Six Nations match on February 7 through the Greene King website. Upon arrival at the bar, present your booking confirmation.

Zoe Bowley, Managing Director of Greene King pubs, emphasized the importance of sport and the pub environment in uniting people. She stated, “Fans Reunited celebrates the unique role of sport and the pub atmosphere in bringing people together. By launching during the Guinness Six Nations and providing reunited fans with a complimentary pint, we aim to facilitate moments where old friends reconnect over a drink.”
Rugby legend Martin Johnson highlighted the unifying power of rugby and friendships forged through the sport. He commended Greene King’s Fans Reunited campaign for celebrating enduring connections and fostering a sense of community.
In related news, the Treasury announced a 15% reduction in business rates for pubs and music venues starting in April to provide significant support. Following pressure to act due to budget changes and the waning pandemic support, the Government decided to offer this relief, with an average pub set to save £1,650 next year.
Treasury minister Dan Tomlinson explained that the reduction in business rates would benefit the pub sector and music venues in the coming year, recognizing their value within the hospitality industry. This package aims to alleviate financial challenges and ensure the survival of these establishments.
Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the BBPA, expressed gratitude for the government’s responsiveness to concerns raised by publicans, consumers, and MPs. The pub-specific support package is seen as a vital lifeline for pubs facing escalating costs and economic pressures.
