Heartwood Inns Launches New “Reasons to Visit” Bringing Community, Good Food & Fun to Your Local

February 18, 2026

Award-winning Heartwood Inns has announced the launch of its new “Reasons to Visit” campaign, designed to bring communities together and make every day a reason to visit your local pub.

Launching Monday 16th February, each day of the week will feature a different core moment, combining sustainably sourced seasonal food, drinks, entertainment, and community spirit across every one of Heartwood’s 35 locations across the UK.

Highlights of the Week:

  • Monday – Hub in the Pub: A community-focused evening connecting key local groups and charities.
  • Tuesday – Quiz & Games Night: Trivia, games, and delicious snack boards make Tuesdays fun for friends, families, and colleagues alike.
  • Wednesday – Steak & Wine Night: Midweek indulgence with 2 steaks and a glass of wine, and optional sides and drinks for an upgraded experience.
  • Thursday – Extended Happy Hour: An extension of Heartwood’s usual Happy hour offer (Sun-Mon 5-7pm), which guests can now enjoy from 5-8pm on Thursdays.
  • Friday – Live at the Local: Live music, comedy, and entertainment to kick off the weekend, guests can head to individual websites for more detail on the line ups.
  • Sunday – All Day Roasts: Heartwood invites guests to gather for Sunday roasts from 11:30am-8pm, complete with bottomless Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and gravy.

Heartwood, known for its warm, genuine hospitality and commitment to serving fresh, seasonal food, recently launched their ‘Treats’ app, which aims to build a stronger, more rewarding relationship with its guests, much like this new initiative to offer guests a reason to visit their local every single day.

Sister brand, Brasserie Blanc will be launching a parallel scheme to honour their own “Reasons to Visit”, with a French theme.

Heartwood Collection’s CEO, Richard Ferrier said: “Heartwood Inns has always been about more than just food and drink. With our new ‘Reasons to Visit,’ initiatives we’re creating spaces for community, connection, and celebration at our pubs. From quiz nights to Sunday roasts, it’s all about celebrating those core memories that many of us resonate with at our locals, alongside our usual outstanding offering.”
