Full list of UK pubs you can buy iconic alcoholic drink on tap for first time

The Sun16-06-2025
AN ICONIC alcoholic drink can be bought on tap for the first time - and we're revealing where you can get hold of it.
Nostalgic alcopop brand Hooch let drinkers know last month it would be launching on tap in pubs and arenas across the UK.
It's usually sold in cans or bottles at supermarkets, bars and pubs.
But now the zesty original Lemon Hooch is on draught too.
The Sun can exclusively reveal the full list of locations you can get it so far.
Here they are...
Singing Canary - Newcastle
Style Bar - Ormskirk
The Three Cranes - Rotherham
Taphouse & Kitchen - Cleethorpes
The Carpenters - Newport
The Pen & Wig - Newport
Flat Iron - Chorley
The Hatchet - Bristol
The Bell - Bristol
Victoria & Albert - Horwich
Bonobo Bar & Canteen - Chester
Hooch has said there will be more locations where it's available soon.
The fruity alcopop is a mix of vodka and real fruit juice, and comes in at 3.4% ABV.
It's being sold for between £5.50 and £5.95 but this varies across pubs and venues.
Jacob Barrett, brand manager for Hooch, said at the time: "Launching Hooch on draught is a landmark moment for the brand as we celebrate 30 iconic years.
"This isn't just a new format, it's a bold new era for Hooch, designed for longer, more sociable summer serves and promises to bring something refreshingly different to the T-bar."

The drink is a 90s cult classic, loved alongside the likes of Smirnoff Ice, WKD, Bacardi Breezer and VK.
Alcopops appear to be staging a comeback this year, as brands hope to capture the attention of both Gen Z and those who remember the iconic drinks.
Last month, it was revealed that Bacardi Breezers are returning to supermarket shelves years after being discontinued in the UK.
Meanwhile, Caribbean-inspired soft drink brand Ka has launched a range of mixed alcoholic drinks for the first time.
The drinks launches come as Brits prepare for days of sweltering weather.
The UK is expecting to experience its first heatwave of the year later this week.
Some areas could see highs of 32C on Saturday.
While the warm weather can be perfect for having drinks in the sun, you should remember to keep hydrated and drink responsibly.
How to save money buying alcohol
Alcohol can be pricey if you're planning a party or hosting an event but there are ways to cut costs.
It's always important to drink responsibly, here, Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements share some tips on getting booze for the best price.
Stocking up can mean big savings on drinks, especially if you want to buy wine or fizz.
The big supermarkets regularly offer discounts of 25% when you buy six or more bottles of wine. The promotions typically run in the lead up to occasions such as Bank Holidays, Christmas and Easter.
If you know you are going to need booze later in the year, it can be worth acting when you see offers.
Before buying your preferred drink make sure you shop around to find the best price – you can use a comparison site such as pricerunner.com or trolley.co.uk.
Don't forget that loyalty cards can unlock better savings so make sure you factor that in too.
If you like your plonk, wine clubs can also be a good way to save money and try new varieties. You'll usually have to pay a membership fee in return for cheaper price so work out if you will be buying enough to make the one off cost worthwhile.

Ofcom reject 14,000 Love Island complaints over bullying and gaslighting after ‘most complained about series in 4 years'

LOVE Island will not be investigated by Ofcom - despite receiving more than 14,000 complaints about misogyny, bullying and mentally abusive behaviour. The last series of the show, which was won by Toni and Cach, was inundated with complaints throughout - making it the most offensive in four years. 4 4 In just one week of the show Ofcom received 9,000 complaints about alleged bullying behaviour towards Shakira. It was the second most complained about Love Island week in history - the first was season seven when Faye Winter kicked off after Casa Amor with total of 29,101 in just one week. Despite viewer's concern, the regulator will not be taking any further action. A spokesperson said."We carefully assessed the complaints we received about this series of Love Island. "We recognise that emotionally charged or confrontational scenes can upset some viewers. "But, in our view, negative behaviour in the villa was not shown in a positive light, and contestants were seen supporting or apologising to each other. "We also took into account that the format of this reality show is well-established, and viewers would expect to see highs and lows as relationships and friendships are tested." Ofcom received 14,167 complaints about the ITV reality series, including 24 about spin-off show Love Island: Unseen Bits, with the highest number of complaints coming on July 24, which saw 3,549 complaints relating to alleged bullying behaviour towards contestant Shakira Khan. Other complaints related to further alleged bullying of Khan, as well as fellow contestants Toni Laites, Yasmin Pettet, Meg Moore and Helena Ford, concern over contestants' mental health throughout the series, and Dejon Noel-Williams's behaviour towards M eg. Further complaints were made about the show's producers bringing contestant Megan Forte Clarke back onto the programme after she was dumped from the villa, and alleged race and gender based discrimination. Love Island's 12th series ran from June 9 to August 4 and Toni Laites and Cach Mercer took home the £50k, while Khan and Harry Cooksley finished as runners-up. Love Island's Meg reignites feud with Shakira with sly comment after bullying row - leaving fans furious 4 4 TONI and Cach won the Love Island 2025 final - yet what were the exact voting percentages? Las Vegas waitress Toni Laites and professional dancer Cach Mercer went head-to-head with OG islanders Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley in a nail-biting finale. However, Toni and Cach were triumphant and won the summer series after surviving a love triangle just two weeks before the final. A results table shared on Love Island's Instagram account this afternoon showed Toni and Cach were the runaway winners on the night, taking over a third of the votes, with 33.5% of viewers backing them for the crown. However, Shakira and Harry drew a sizeable 26.2% of the votes, and Yas and Jamie were not far behind taking 22% on the nose. Aesthetics practitioner Angel, 26, only made her debut on July 17, but managed to secure an impressive 18.3% of the overall voting audience with Casa Amor boy Ty.

Molly Mae Hague vows to keep posting about parenting despite backlash as she insists she 'regrets nothing' - but Tommy Fury admits he doesn't feel the same way

Molly Mae Hague has insisted she will keep posting about motherhood to help others despite suffering fierce backlash from trolls online. However just as his partner vowed to keep sharing her life on social media, Tommy Fury admitted he is not the type of person to open his life up to the world. The influencer, 26, regularly shares vlogs sharing her experience with parenting their daughter Bambi, two, but her more recent videos have caused a stir. She was recently forced to hit back at followers who claimed her sister Zoe, 28, was 'more of a dad' to Bambi after spotting the boxer missing from her many vlogs. Speaking in a new YouTube video after a few weeks off, Molly Mae said: 'No matter what went on online after my last couple of videos, do I have a single regret for speaking about how I feel in my motherhood journey over the past couple of weeks? 'Absolutely not. In my DMs, the messages that I receive when I open up about my feelings towards motherhood and how sometimes I'm feeling and I'm vulnerable about it, like it makes it so incredibly worth it. 'Because the messages I receive, I have mums actually saying to me, like, you don't understand how much I needed to hear what you said. I know it's what I need to do. Like. I'm not going to shy away ever from talking about how I'm really feeling in any situation' While Molly Mae is set on still opening up her life to the camera, Tommy said he is 'not the type of guy to have a YouTube channel', while discussing his upcoming fly on the wall documentary, Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury. He said: 'I thought it was important for me to share the documentary because like I've said many times I'm not the type of guy who will sit down in front of a camera and have a YouTube channel where it's me doing Q&As and talking about my life like that. 'I'm a fighter and that's what I've always been and I feel like by doing this documentary people are going to see a side to me that they have never seen before, because I don't show that. 'They only known what they see on Instagram and seeing me fight but there's a whole other layer beyond that which people will see in the documentary, so that's why it felt like the right time.' Prior to their split, Tommy did appear in Molly Mae's vlogs and fans recently questioned why he is now missing from them now they have reconciled. Molly Mae admitted she and Tommy are 'still figuring things out' in their relationship. In her latest YouTube video Molly-Mae defended him and said: 'I've seen so many comments saying "Zoe is more the dad" I only vlog when I am not with Tommy, I am with Tommy literally 80% of the week and he is with Bambi majority of the week,' 'But I vlog when we are here and he is at his because it's just something that I am not ready to like open up with yet and like flinging the camera around like when we're a family'. Before adding: 'I just think like we're not there yet and still figuring out life and living situations. I'm not ready to vlog like we used to'. Molly-Mae later broke down in tears as she opened up about Bambi's tantrum and explained that everything was a 'huge problem' even convincing the toddler to wear shoes. Filming herself in the driving seat with Bambi in the back she said: 'I'm trying so so hard to stay positive but, I feel like I need to keep my camera running all day so you can see like every single thing,' '[Bambi] is a huge problem, [She] screams [I] can't even get like socks and shoes on'. Molly-Mae and Tommy split in August last year, later citing the boxer's struggle with alcohol as the reason for their break-up, but reconciled earlier this year. They have faced accusations their breakup was a 'publicity stunt' after they were filmed sharing a passionate kiss on New Year's Eve ahead of the launch of her three-part Prime Video series. Molly previously said her biggest 'frustration' was having their breakup questioned by skeptics when there was a lot more happening behind the scenes. Elsewhere in the new video Molly-Mae tearfully broke her silence following recent backlash from fans who once again branded the whinging millionaire influencer 'out of touch'. She has been accused of 'always moaning' in recent weeks after complaining she'd 'not done one fun thing all summer' despite jetting off to multiple destinations. She also faced criticism after complaining about a recent £86,000 motorhome holiday. Molly-Mae's sister has also come under fire for her 'tone deaf' posts of late after revealing she had fled Bali for Dubai after just 48 hours because it didn't live up to her expectations. In the clip Molly-Mae claimed that she 'didn't care' about the uproar but has been left 'scared' about discussing anything 'controversial' She said: 'I don't care who tells me I am out of touch with reality or all this stuff thats going on on T ikTok at the minute, I don't care i'm not going to not talk about it'. She later went on: 'I feel like I don't want to talk about anything controversial anymore because in the last video I said some things I probably could have worded better and even with all the motherhood things I am talking about at the minute, it's just a lot'. 'Debunking that whole thing about me feeling like I shouldn't talk about what is going on in the day because I am scared about what people will think and what they have to say about it'. She said: 'I've see so many comments saying "Zoe is more the dad" I only vlog when I am not with Tommy, I am with him literally 80% of the week and he is with Bambi majority of the week' 'But I vlog when we are here and he is at his because it's just something that I am not ready to like open up with yet and like flinging the camera around like when we're a family' The couple split in August last year, later citing the boxer's struggle with alcohol as the reason for their break-up, but reconciled earlier this year Last week fans blasted the TV personality for 'always moaning' after after she said she'd 'not done one fun thing all summer' despite jetting off to multiple destinations. She said in her vlog: 'I said to a friend the other day, that I'm going to make it to the end of summer having not done one fun thing.' She then spoke to her sister and said: 'Zoe, I haven't socialised once. I'm going to get to the end of this summer having not done one social fun thing. 'I haven't a life. That's not good is it. Summer will end and I've not done one fun social thing.' It left some fans open-mouthed as they called out how she failed to acknowledge the three holidays she's already been on this year. Some comments read: 'She's a millionaire, she can literally wake up tomorrow and do whatever the hell she wants', 'Wimbledon, lunches, Spain, Dubai, France, Centre Parcs... let's normalise that', 'This was so jarring because she can casually spend 6k in Dior on an outfit to log to Wimbledon then complains she has no time for herself', 'Why does she always want us to feel sorry for her?'

Chris Robshaw is forced to invest in top-price security to protect his family after being targeted by a stalker which nearly led him to turn down Strictly

Strictly Come Dancing star Chris Robshaw was forced to invest in top-of-the-range security to keep his family safe from the campaign of harassment by a female stalker over the past year. The former rugby player was one of the 15 celebrities to be announced for the BBC show last week, but it has since emerged he almost turned down the opportunity due to the situation. And now friends of the 39-year-old told the Mail about the toll it has taken on his wife, the opera singer Camilla Kerslake, on her mental health after she has been 'left scared to leave the house on her own with the kids'. Ms Kerslake, 37, shares Hunter, five, and 18-month-old Wilder, with her husband of seven years and a source close to the family said: 'Particularly when she was post-partum, she was petrified she wouldn't be able to outrun this individual. 'Normally she's unbreakable, the backbone of the family, but this has reduced her to a shell of the strong woman we all know. For Chris, watching this has been heartbreaking. 'They have invested in top-of-the-range security systems to keep the family safe.' While the identity of the stalker has not been revealed, it is known that the former Harlequins captain briefly met her twice at work events last year. Instead of asking for presents for her birthday, it can be revealed Ms Kerslake requested security upgrades to their Surrey mansion, which last year she gave OK magazine a guided tour of. The source continued: 'They've talked about the idea of a security guard dog because they love their animals but also Camilla especially, would feel more protected. 'It's heartbreaking that it's come to this but that's how seriously they are taking it. 'This stalker business is no joke. She's destroyed the lives of small business owners, families, and left others thousands of pounds out of pocket. 'The claims she makes are sickening, and some of her victims have been left struggling mentally after their ordeal.' Six months after meeting the woman, Mr Robshaw was then said to have been targeted by the woman, who proceeded to threaten violence and spread false allegations about him and his colleagues, after which he contacted the police. It is reported the woman, who is now on the National Police Wanted List, has fled the country and is being pursued by the police. This year's Strictly cast includes Love Island star Dani Dyer, Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattison, EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal, Game of Thrones star Kristian Nairn, Lioness Karen Carney, Lorraine Showbiz correspondent Ross King and influencer Ellie Goldstein, who made history when she became the first model with Down syndrome to cover British Vogue magazine. Rugby player Chris, Neighbours actor Stefan Dennis, YouTuber George Clarke, Doctor Who actress Alex Kingston, The Apprentice star Tom Skinner and sportsman Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink will also be taking to the Strictly ballroom next month. The BBC show has endured its fair share of controversy in recent months, with it alleged earlier this month that BBC had hired a law firm to probe allegations of drug taking by two individuals. One of the stars involved in the drugs probe was also suspected of drinking while working on the show after crew smelt alcohol on their breath. Wynne Evans, 53, who competed on the show in 2024, was also accused of inappropriate behaviour and forced to apologise for making an unacceptable sexual remark on stage at a press event, which led to him resigning from the Strictly tour. In 2023, actress Amanda Abbington, 51, complained about professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, 34, being 'unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean' during their rehearsals which she said caused her to quit midway through the season. And in the same year, former Love Island contestant Zara McDermott, 28, was left 'incredibly distressed' following her experience in the training room with Graziano Di Prima, 31, who admitted to kicking the documentary maker, resulting in his axing.
