Get into the swing of summer with Hungry Horse

It’s getting warmer and brighter. And the pull of the pub is getting stronger and stronger. The ice-cold drink in your hand. Feeling the sun on your face in a buzzing beer garden. Meeting up with your friends and family to spend the day having a laugh. All those undeniable summer vibes. 

As well as refreshing drinks, you’ll also want delicious food fit for summer that won't break the bank – so you can stay at the best pubs near you for longer! Grab your suncream, dig out your sunglasses and start getting excited about the fun ahead.

 

What makes for a great summer pub

Why do we love pubs in the sunshine? Here in the UK, summer doesn't quite hit until you’re enjoying yourself at the pub with your mates or family. With an atmosphere that breathes love and laughter, pubs are a British institution. 

At the best pubs in summer, you’ll be satisfied with a drink in hand, a full stomach and a beer garden that’s bathed in sunlight. You’ll soak up the chilled out mood, order from the outdoor bar and stay warm in the glow of a patio heater if the temperature drops in the evening. And your kids can also have fun tearing around play areas too!

 

Our summer menu

From lighter bites and sharers to plonk down in the middle of the table, our food menu is packed with all your pub favourites. And then there’s the drinks. Brand new cocktails. Fruity pitchers. Iced coffees and refreshing mocktails. All are designed to help you beat the heat. 

The best summer bites

We’ve got lots of new things for you to try this summer. Like our Crunchy Fried Corn starter, Cluck ‘n’ Cheese Sharer and Mexican Pasta Salad. We also have a new selection of burgers that includes the vegan Beyond Meat Stack, dripping with tangy BBQ sauce. As well as the new Cheeseburger Chilli Dipper, a stack that’s served with a bowl of spicy chilli to flavour your burger even further.

If you’re in the mood for something lighter while basking in the sun, dip into our range of baguettes, wraps and signature sides. 

What to drink during summer

Ready for the drinks to flow? Check out our epic summer drinks specials. Featuring the Vitamin Sea pitcher, a refreshing and delicious blend of Beefeater Pink Strawberry Gin, VK Blue and Schweppes lemonade. We have everything you need on the menu to keep you cool all season long including our great deals on cocktails, beer, cider, soft drinks and our all-new iced coffee range.

As well as a cold pint, glass of rose or refreshing fizz, we also do delicious mocktails, so everyone can get in on the fun.

 

Where to go on a hot day in London

In the capital this summer? The best pubs in London shine when the sun comes out from behind the British clouds. Here’s a handful of our favourites for enjoying an ice-cold pint, wolfing down some food, or just escaping the heat after a long day exploring the city. Why not stick them in your phone and have them ready for when you’re in London and want somewhere to pop into. 

Sports in the sunshine

The friendly Fox Under The Hill in Shooters Hill is the perfect place to grab a pint and escape the hustle and bustle of the capital. Especially when the best of this summer's live sports action, including the football, playing on the big screens. 

A vote for good times

Out in Middlesex, come and enjoy a big plate of food at the Ballot Box, maybe after exploring local attractions like the Battersea Park Children’s Zoo or the London Wetland Centre, both great spots for those pleasant summer days. 

Sugar for my honey

At the end of a long hot day in London going for walks over Hounslow Heath or enjoying some family fun at Hobbledown Heath, you can’t beat relaxing in the evening sun at a pub. Especially one that puts your hunger first, like the Honeycombe in Hounslow. Fill up on great value food – but make sure you save room for a sweet treat for pud!

 

Some of our other favourite pubs for summer

Away from the capital, there are lots of other pubs waiting for you this summer. In the mood for some bouncing beer gardens, mouthwatering menus and epic pub meal deals? Us too. 

Take flight

At the Four Eagles in Cheshire, there’s a large beer garden to kick back in with friends as you tuck into a plate of Salt & Pepper Fries and sip a cold beer. Looking for something to wake up to? Try our brilliant new pub breakfast offering before heading out into Crewe.

And the award goes to…

Up in Gateshead, come and enjoy the picturesque Gold Medal. Enjoy our new menu from the comfort of a booth, or head out to the patio for some sun or shade while you wait for your Crown of Burgers to come.
