Can Scotland continue their winning streak? 💙

At 11 pm tonight, Scotland will take to the field for their second game of the Fifa World Cup, and there’s only one place to go to soak up every tackle, cheer every chance and join the Tartan Army – your local Punch pub, of course! 🤩⚽

Round up your friends, grab your favourite drink and make each matchday one to remember. 🍻

Here’s to hoping we see more celebrations like these tonight! 🍻

The seal of approval from the local community – this pub has all that and more! 👏🏻🍻

Thanks to our fantastic Property Team, a £480k investment has marked the start of an exciting new chapter for The Bramford C**k in Ipswich. 🤩

The beautiful transformation was all about putting the pub back at the heart of its community – creating a warm, welcoming, family-oriented destination that the whole village can be proud of.

Led by new Management Partner, Jenny, the vision was clear: to be a brilliant village local offering outstanding food, friendly service and a great atmosphere, seven days a week – and it’s a big tick all round! ✅

A huge thank you to everyone involved in helping this pub spread its wings once again. It’s an exciting investment and a bright future for Jenny and the team! 🍻

📸 A big thank you, as always, to Tory McTernan or the beautiful photography!

News just in…

We’re delighted to announce that The Windsor Castle N2 has done it – they are officially the BII’s Licensee of the Year 2026 winners! 🤩👏🏻

An incredible achievement for a fantastic team, led by Eamonn and Arina, who strive each and every day to inspire those moments and deliver five-star service.

When they found out they were finalists, they said: “This award really does mean a lot and will enable us to showcase all our achievements – our passion for hospitality, continued positive growth and development, our amazing team, and, above all else, our commitment to and love of our local community. Without you, we wouldn’t be here.

“In 2022, we took on a small backstreet pub that hadn’t been doing too well. We put our hearts and souls into making it special and made a real effort to connect with the local community. The Windsor Castle is now a much-loved community asset – for the community, with the community at its heart.”

Simply incredible – the whole Punch team could not be prouder.

Well done and huge congratulations to you all! 👏🍾

In this exciting investment at The Three Little Pigs, Crediton, our team listened to guests and the wider community to deliver a thoughtful refresh that locals can be proud of.

Building on something already fantastic and unique, the light-touch changes have been warmly welcomed by the community, who are delighted to see the pub’s character carefully retained.

What did we do?
🍻 Refurbished and reconfigured the bar and enhanced the drinks offering
☀️ Refreshed the outdoor area in time for summer
🍽️ Introduced a new food menu with something for everyone to enjoy

At the heart of it all is the legacy of former landlady Sandra and her late husband Maurice, who created a warm, community-driven pub at the centre of the market town.

A true gem to be proud of. Well done to the whole team, and best of luck to James and Heidi, our new Management Partners. 👏🏻

We recently unveiled one of our latest investments close to home, with the transformation of The Coronation, Alvaston, Derby.

Known for its lively entertainment and family-friendly atmosphere, the pub has been restored to the heart of the community just in time for summer (and the World Cup, of course!). 🍻☀️⚽

Leading the pub’s new chapter is Management Partner Tania, who shared her appreciation for the community’s support: “The response since reopening has been fantastic, and it’s been great to see both familiar faces and new customers enjoying the new look and atmosphere. With a packed summer of events ahead, we’re excited to build on The Coronation’s role as a hub for the local community.”

A new face at the helm, a refreshed identity, and a full refurbishment throughout – that’s something to celebrate.

We’re wishing Tania and the Coronation team the very best of luck. We can’t wait to see you flourish! 🤩🍻

🔊 Pubs are about more than food and drink – they bring people together and are at the heart of local communities.

That’s why we’re backing hashtag , calling for hospitality VAT to be cut from 20% to 10%.
