Sunshine, beer and Greek gyros? Sounds like a pretty good Sunday to us.

On Sunday 28th June, we'll be popping up at The Brew Forest serving freshly made Greek gyros from 3pm, while the bar is pouring from 2pm.

Think juicy meat, warm pitas, crisp salad, creamy tzatziki and an ice-cold drink in hand.

🍺 Brew Forest open from 2pm
🌯 Gyros from 3pm
📍 The Brew Forest

No need to book – just rock up hungry.

Me and Molly spent an incredible couple of weeks island hopping around Greece! 🇬🇷 It was some much needed R&R for the both of us and along our travels we ate some amazing Greek food 🙌 Here's some of my faves! P.s how many Gyros is too many Gyros? 👀
