The Fold: Issue 7
S/S 2026.
Sunshine, longer days and pub gardens back in full swing can only mean one thing, it’s time to kick back and flick through the latest edition of The Fold
As the seasons change, our pubs come alive with the unmistakable buzz of summer. Think leisurely lunches in the sunshine, rosé-fuelled afternoons, spontaneous catch-ups that turn into evening plans, and those golden-hour moments best enjoyed with a drink in hand.
This issue is a celebration of everything that makes the season so special. From fresh new menus and must-try serves to inspiring days out and the very best spots to soak up the sunshine, we’ve packed these pages with plenty of reasons to make the pub your go-to destination this summer.
Here’s to longer days, great company, and making every moment count.

A big welcome to issue seven
Staycation, staycation, staycation. Because there’s nothing quite like escaping the everyday…
Whether that’s a solo stay to recharge, a self-care retreat designed for total relaxation, or a countryside getaway that lets you make the most of the longer days. If you’re planning your next seasonal escape, we’ve gathered plenty of inspiration to help you do just that.
We’ve also been shining a spotlight on one of our most-loved destinations. So, we’re heading to Norfolk to discover what makes The Hoste (with the most) such a special place to stay, from coastal adventures and local flavours to hidden gems waiting to be explored.
Inside, you’ll find inspiration for every kind of getaway. We’re warmly embracing Winter wedding season with ideas for unforgettable celebrations, uncovering stories from the Summer Larder and the talented people behind it, and sharing a free pass into hidden histories that reveal the fascinating tales behind some of our favourite places.
There’s also a look at our latest seasonal offers (well worth a bookmark), plus a feature on how business and leisure can come together perfectly when work takes you away from home.
Ok, that’s enough. We’re getting a little carried away with the spoilers. It’s time to settle in, pour yourself something refreshing, and start turning the pages.
