Burger of the Month
There's change in the air now more so than usual this year, and we are embracing it vigorously with Jamie's Mexican Bean burger. Made with butternut squash, mixed peppers, jalapeños, sweet corn, red onion, black eyed beans, kidney beans, smoked paprika, coriander, Mexican spices, and coated in a blue tortilla crisp - it's guaranteed to give you an energy lift.
Our other toppings are Monterey Jack cheese, Applewood vegan cheese, halloumi, avocado, homemade kimchi and salsa. We recommend any and all of these with this special!
Our loaded fries are going strong. These fries are made with our air fryer, cooked with absolutely no added oil, while keeping their golden crispy crunch. Load them with either vegan/dairy cheese and red onion chutney/kimchi, or salsa and avocado.

We are stocking Black Rain Coffee (formerly known as Brewed) this May. Their coffee changes seasonally and always offers something new. Get excited about their mission to push the boundaries as far as possible while making delicious filters and espresso, we really are.
This will be as always be served alongside our forever favourites Extract.

Through her talks at the Brewers Journal lectures and seminars with Muntons, she has passed on her expertise knowledge and we are honoured to support her vision.
We are also expanding our range with different sours, gose and session beers, so keep checking in with us for something different every week!

Cowabunga Dude
London's Museum of Youth Culture charts a shared history of youth experience, including clippings of 1940's 'skid kids' who held bike races through bomb sites, rusty badges from the acid rave scene, faded photographs of 1990s adolescent bedrooms, and resistance to human rights inequalities. You can catch a snapshot of the museum's collection in person with its pop-up shop, gallery and event space in Carnaby Street; where you'll find a bunch of books on youth counterculture, three amazing mini exhibitions and dozens of photographs of the UK's embarrassing teen years. You can also watch talks from the Degenerations digital festival from the comfort of home!

Keepin' It Green
Some good news - Britain's electricity system had it's greenest day ever over Easter! Thanks to sunshine and windy weather, renewable energy surged. 60% of all electricity was generated by solar farms and wind turbines on Easter Monday, whilst 16% was provided by nuclear reactors. All in all, almost 80% of the UK was powered by these low-carbon sources, a game changer for those whose hard work has triumphed!
