Suffolk pub offers free pints to black Labrador owners

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 3 Oct, 10:18 · Archive

A Suffolk pub is offering free warm beer to black Labrador owners following a Labour minister's comments about traditional British imagery.

The Trowel and Hammer in Cotton, Suffolk, announced a promotion offering free warm beer to customers arriving with black Labradors. The offer came after Nature Minister Jenny Riddell-Carpenter claimed that the traditional imagery of Britain centred on country pubs, warm ale and black Labradors represented a 'far-right nostalgic vision' that should not be pursued.

Pub owners Freddy and Bekkie Vaudrey launched the special deal in response. Riddell-Carpenter represents the nearby constituency of Suffolk Coastal.
