At Punch, we're proud to see young talent thrive across our pubs and support teams. From first jobs to leadership roles, remains one of the UK's greatest industries for developing skills, building confidence and creating rewarding careers.

That's why we're backing a hospitality-wide call to Government ahead of the Budget, championing the sector's ability to create jobs and opportunities for young people.

A little clarification…

Our Christmas events have been planned and booked since April, and we’ve put a great deal of time, thought and effort into organising activities for our customers and the local community.

We’re aware of some recent comments circulating online, and while we’re not interested in getting involved in public disagreements, we do feel it’s important to set the record straight.

We’re proud of the events we organise and the effort we put into bringing people together. We’ll continue to focus on what we do best: creating a welcoming atmosphere, supporting our community and giving our customers something to look forward to.

We won’t be drawn into negativity or unnecessary online disagreements. We’ll leave the drama elsewhere and look forward to celebrating Christmas with you all! ❤️🎄

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. It means more than you know! 🥰
