Wimbledon is just around the corner, and with this glorious weather sticking around, there’s only one thing for it…….a classic Pimm’s Cup.

Packed with fresh strawberries, oranges, cucumber and mint, this iconic British summer cocktail is as refreshing as they come. Light, fruity and made for sunny afternoons in the garden, it’s the perfect companion for watching the tennis, catching up with friends, or simply soaking up the sunshine.

A true taste of summer, and if we’re honest, it’s one of our personal favourites.

Pop in, grab a Pimm’s, find a sunny spot and let the British summertime begin.
