Your guide to Friday drinks at Hungry Horse

There’s something magical about a Friday night. The minute that clock hits home time, the whole country seems to let out a collective sigh of relief. And what better way to celebrate the start of the weekend than with Friday night drinks at your local Hungry Horse?

Whether you’re rounding up the gang, kicking off date night, watching the match, or simply rewarding yourself for surviving another week of life’s chaos, the pub is where Friday truly begins.

Big tables, big plates, big laughs — that’s the Hungry Horse way. So, pull up a chair and let’s walk you through exactly how to do Friday drinks properly.

Fizz Friday for big bubble energy

Let’s start with the star of the show: Fizz Friday.

Every Friday, our bottles of Prosecco are just £10.99 — because why wait for a birthday, an anniversary, or a promotion to pop something bubbly?

There’s nothing quite like sharing a bottle with loved ones — the clink of glasses, the sparkle in the flute, the dramatic “it's been a long week” justification. And if alcohol isn’t your thing, our Freixenet 0.0% Sparkling Wine gives you all the celebration with none of the faff.

Bubbles belong to everyone, and Fizz Friday sets the tone for the night: relaxed, fun, sociable, and a little bit fancy… without the fancy price tag.

Drinks to kickstart the weekend 

Cocktail o’clock!

Some Fridays call for cocktails — colourful ones, fruity ones, strong ones, smooth ones. Our cocktail menu has something for everyone: 

 
Pornstar Martini – Absolut Vanilla Vodka gets hit with passionfruit and sparkling lemonade for a classic taste. 

Sex on the Beach – Peachy, orangey, and just enough cheek to fight off that after-work slump. 

Godfather – Sweet, a little tart, and perfect for starting the weekend off with a bang. 

Cherry Apple Pie Spritz – Taste the Jack Daniel’s Apple, Whitley Neill Black Cherry Gin, and sour lime flavours.  


And because everyone has different tastes, our alcohol-free range brings all the fun without the worry: 


Monsoon Kiss – Tart cranberry meets juicy watermelon soda with lime for a refreshing, vibrant burst. 

Raspberry Refresher – A crisp, fruity blend of apple, raspberry and Schweppes Lemonade. 

Passion Fruit Cooler – Tropical, bubbly, and dangerously sippable thanks to J2O Orange & Passion Fruit. 

Berry Punch – Cranberry, orange, and lemonade combine for a bright, zingy pick-me-up. 

 
Perfect for designated drivers, early starters, or anyone easing themselves into the night.

Pints, bottles, and pub classics

Maybe you’re here for the classics. The reliable mates. The Friday pub atmosphere. We’ve got you covered, whether you’re a cold-pint-after-work person or a bottle-and-a-chat type. And if you’re going booze-free, you don’t need to feel left out — our non-alcoholic bottled range tastes so good you won’t miss a thing:

Heineken 0.0%, Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0%, and Kopparberg 0% mean you can still join in the cheers without compromising. 

Or, pair your fizz with a sharer. Add cocktails to a burger stack. Order pints with loaded wedges, curries, grills, desserts… whatever speaks to your soul after a long week.

Friday tastes better when your drink matches your meal (and even better when our food deals come into play).

Friday nights at the pub: Choose your vibe

Every group has that text chat: “So… what’s the plan tonight?” 
And the answer? There are many — because Friday at Hungry Horse can look however you want it to.

The big catch-up
Grab your mates, order some drinks, laugh too loudly, and insist you're only staying for “one”, which, as tradition states, becomes three.

It’s game night
When there’s live sports on, the atmosphere shifts into overdrive. Pints, cheers, shouting at the ref on TV — it’s essential Friday behaviour.

Pool night or darts battle?
Anyone can be a champion on a Friday. It’s pub law. And victory always tastes sweeter with a cold drink. 

Pub quizmasters
You might not know the capital of Moldova, but with a cocktail in hand and your mate who claims to “know random stuff”, you could be unstoppable. 

Date night done properly
Prosecco, sharers, cocktails, comfy seats — it's relaxed, fun, and way less awkward than sitting bolt-upright in a silent restaurant. 

So… ready for Friday?

Whether you’re popping fizz, sipping mocktails, grabbing a pint, or raising a round with your favourite people, Hungry Horse has everything you need to start the weekend the right way.
