Greene King: which pubs in Manchester are offering free pints for Jubilee - when does offer start?

Pub goers in Manchester can get a tasty afterwork offer today as one pub chain is offering free pints.

The move kicks off the Jubilee week, which will end in a four day long weekend in honour of Queen Elizabeth II.

Here’s what you need to know about the offer, including which pubs in the Greater Manchester area you can visit for the pint and why the chain has chosen to charge nothing for the Jubilee pints.

What is the offer?

The offer from Greene King is in place for one day only, and allows pub goers to pick up a pint for free.

How can I claim a pint?

To claim a pint, visit a Greene King pub and say the secret code of ‘1952’ behind the bar.

Why was the offer changed from six pence pints?

he pub chain was to offer pints for six pence the UK, choosing this amount because this was the average price of a pint in 1952 - the year Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne.

Yet issues with charging this amount under licensing laws made the chain change the offer to free pints instead.

This is a one time offer, so be sure to be quick and not to miss out!
