A group of independent pubs are offering a pack of vouchers for £20 that gets you £100 worth of food and drink at their pubs.
You buy a pack of CityStack vouchers for £20, and get 10 beer coasters which each gets £10 off your spend in each of the ten pubs participating, so long as it’s at least £20 — so in effect half-price beer and food.
There are ten pubs participating – one voucher per pub – dotted all across central London, so while you’re getting a discount on your food and drink, you’re also supporting independent pubs in difficult times.
The vouchers cost £20 plus £1.5 for shipping from here.

Once regarded as the ‘worst pub in London’, The Angel & Crown has been reborn all thanks to the new landlady. A self-styled community pub, welcoming parents and children after school, freelance workers during the day, and drag queen acts at night.
