FORGET Apple Pay today.
One pub is celebrating Halloween by giving away free drinks in exchange for a more unusual currency – pumpkins.
The Cricketers pub in Southwick is offering a free drink to any locals who visit on October 31.
To launch pumpkin pay, Greene King has commissioned a unique food portrait – dozens of pumpkins featuring Boris Johnson’s face.
The bizarre installation took a team of skilled pumpkin carvers over six days to create, with each of the seasonal vegetables expertly carved to mimic the famed politician’s trademark mop hair and cheesy grin.
Other local pubs taking part in the pumpkin pay promotion include Dorset Arms, Mill, Palmeira, Robin Hood, Snooty Fox, Star, Star Inn, Station, Sussex Yeoman, Swiss Cottage, Waterside.
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.
