Isle Of Wight Pubs To Offer Pints For 6p

Some Isle of Wight pubs are offering pints for just 6p in celebration of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Those wanting to enjoy an incredibly cheap pint of Greene King IPA today (Monday) will need to use a secret codeword.

The pub chain is offering the 6p pints at 408 of its sites because that was the average cost of a pint during the Queen's ascension to the throne in 1952.

Anyone visiting one of the Greene King Local Pub or Flaming Grill sites will be able to claim the offer by using the password "1952".

On the Island, they include The Crab Inn (Shanklin), Hare and Hounds (Downend), Ryde Castle (Ryde), Folly (Whippingham) and Fountain Inn (Cowes).

Andrew Gallagher, Marketing Director at Greene King Local Pubs, said:

"The platinum jubilee is a fantastic way for the UK to come together and celebrate our Queen and country, so we wanted to take our customers back to where it all began - 1952, a time when Vera Lynn ruled the charts and pints were only 6p.

"We can't wait to see our customers enjoy this royally good deal on Monday 30 May, and look forward to celebrating the Platinum Jubilee in all our pubs across the bank holiday weekend."

Greene King has said that no more than one pint will be sold at 6 pence per pint to each customer in each participating pub.
