Pub-goers across the UK are being handed a rare opportunity this bank holiday — the chance to grab a completely free pint.
But there’s a catch.
You’ll only get one if you say the right thing.
The Offer Everyone’s Talking About
Major pub chain Greene King has announced it will be giving away 100,000 free pints across its venues nationwide.
The giveaway is set to take place over the upcoming May bank holiday, with pubs preparing for a surge of customers hoping to claim their free drink.
So… What Do You Have To Say?
To get your hands on a free pint, all you need to do is walk into a participating pub and say:
“I’m home.”
That’s it.
Say the phrase, and you could be walking away with a pint of:
- Greene King IPA
- Level Head
- Lager
- Ale
- Or even a soft drink
Why Are They Doing It?
The promotion is part of Greene King’s wider campaign to position pubs as more than just places to drink.
Their message is simple:
👉 Your local pub should feel like a second home.
And with bank holiday footfall up for grabs, it’s a clever way to get people back through the doors.
More Than Just Free Drinks
The campaign doesn’t stop at free pints.
Greene King is also planning:
- “Pub warming” events across the country
- A large-scale launch event, including a day rave in Manchester
- A competition giving customers the chance to win free beer for a year
The Bigger Picture
According to research from Greene King:
- Two in five Brits would pay more to live near a good pub
- Over 17 million people would prioritise having a great local over traditional factors like school catchment areas
It’s a clear sign that, despite industry struggles, pubs still play a huge role in British life.
Will It Work?
With 100,000 free pints on offer, it’s likely pubs will see serious footfall over the bank holiday.
The real question is:
Will people stay… or just come in for the free drink?
