A PUB in Hereford is celebrating Halloween this year by giving away free drinks in exchange for very unusual currency – pumpkins!

The Grandstand on Grandstand Road is offering a free drink to anyone who visits on October 31. All Halloween-lovers have to do to claim their freebie is swap the seasonal veg at the bar for a drink on the house.

To launch pumpkin pay, Greene King has commissioned a unique food portrait, with dozens of pumpkins featuring Boris Johnson’s face.

The bizarre installation took a team of pumpkin carvers over six days to create, with each of the seasonal vegetables expertly carved to mimic the politician’s trademark mop hair.

A range of drinks including hand-selected wines, cask ales, craft beers and soft drinks will be available.

Redemption is limited to one drink per person, and full terms and conditions can be found at www.greeneking-pubs.co.uk/pumpkin-pay
