FAQ
Can I book on to a Classic Pub tour as an individual or smaller group? Currently our tours are only for group bookings, however we do plan to run some tours that are open to smaller groups or individuals. If you are interested in these tours, please let us know and we will keep you informed of when they are happening.
Are drinks included in my tour? No – and that’s entirely by design. We didn’t want to assume what you or your group would like to drink (or how much), so we’ve left it up to you. Whether it’s a local ale, a crisp lager, or a classic G&T, you’re free to choose your own tipple at each stop. That way, everyone gets exactly what they fancy!
Do I have to pre-order drinks? Nope – there’s no need to pre-order drinks. We like to keep things relaxed and flexible, so you can decide what you fancy on the day. That also means if your group wants to spend more time at one pub or skip another, the tour can flow at your pace – no pressure, no set schedule, just a great day out.
How do I make a booking? Send us a WhatsApp or an email, or fill in a contact form on our website and we’ll get back to you with availability. Or give us a call on 01298 42 40 40 – we love talking about pubs! Let us know what date you want, and roughly how many people are in your group and we’ll let you know the costs. Once you’ve made a booking we’ll have a good old chat about your tour and where you’d like to go. Good fun eh!
