The Weekend Takeover 

27th - 29th March

Payday’s landed, the weekend’s calling, and having a quiet one in doesn't feel quite right. Swing by your nearest Greene King pub, where the tunes are loud enough to get you dancing in your seat, the laughter is contagious, and the drinks are exactly the excuse you needed.

This is our Weekend Takeover, where we make sure there’s something for everyone. Fancy a cheeky £3 drink to kick off the celebrations? Want to stick around for the big game, live events, or a competition? We’ve got you covered. So, gather your gang, ditch the sofa, and let’s make payday weekend one for the memory books (and maybe a few Instagram posts).

Get in the weekend spirit!

Your payday deserves more than a quiet night in. This weekend, you can grab a single Absolut Original Vodka or Bacardi Carta Blanca with Coca-Cola Original Taste or Schweppes Lemonade for just £3. It’s the perfect excuse to catch up with your mates, soak up the buzz, and toast to the weekend in style.

Winning, in style...

Competition opens 00:01 on 16/03/26 and closes at 23:59 29/03/26.

Payday belongs in the pub

Payday is no time for staying in. It’s time for round-buying, snack-ordering and losing track of time in the best possible way. Bring your mates, settle in, and celebrate payday the proper way.
