British pub chain brings back £3 pints for first time in a decade

详细摘要

A pub chain known for its £3 pints is opening its first London site in Bromley, with wine starting at just £2.95 following a six-figure makeover.

London and £3 pints rarely go in the same sentence, but a new pub opening in Bromley is hoping to change that. The Saving Grace is set to open its doors on Bromley High Street on November 16, replacing the Barrel and Horn, which closed permanently in April. A standard pint in London costs around £6.50, but The Saving Grace, operated by pub group Amber Taverns, will be serving pints from just £3. The chain runs 192 pubs across the country, predominantly in the north of England, but is now bringing its affordable drinks inside the M25 for the first time.

And it's not just beer drinkers who could benefit. Wine lovers can expect to pay as little as £2.95 for a small glass. The pub will have a limited food offering, with snacks such as peanuts and pork scratchings rather than a full menu.

Salle Wroblewski, southern regional director for Amber Taverns, said: "We're absolutely delighted to be bringing The Saving Grace to Bromley. "It's our first pub inside the M25, so this is a particularly special opening for us, and we've pulled out all the stops to create something we think people are going to love.

"The transformation is fantastic, and we've invested in everything from the design and facilities to the drinks offer and entertainment, what we're most excited about is the opportunity to create a thriving community pub that becomes a real part of Bromley life."

The pub has undergone a six-figure makeover ahead of its opening, including a new bar, upgraded screens and sound systems, and a patio garden.

New operator Aleks Busarova said: "The transformation really is incredible, and I think people are going to be amazed when they see what's been done.

"I'm looking forward to getting to know our customers, bringing some great ideas to life and making The Saving Grace a pub that Bromley can be proud of."

The Barrel and Horn closed on April 4, with general manager Craig Hollingsbee saying he was "extremely sad" to see the pub shut its doors.
