Summer’s arrived early and Pitchers Bar is making the most of it giving away a free tip top with every pint this weekend as the sun shines.
The town centre sports bar is celebrating the end of its first football season opening just before January transfer window, in December, breathing back life into a much loved venue.

General Manager of Pitchers, which also had special giveaways to mark The Lambs mighty effort in the FA Cup, Jason Pegg, said: "As the sun continues to be Tip Top, we’re calling it Tip Top Tamworth – and it’s our way of keeping you cool while you enjoy a blockbuster weekend of sport and sunshine.

"It all kicks off Friday night with a big line-up of Premier League games including the massive Aston Villa vs Tottenham game as the hosts keep up their hunt for a Champions League spot, followed by the FA Cup Final on Saturday (Man City vs Crystal Palace K/O 4.40pm), and wraps up with a Super Sunday of Premier League clashes with all 3 televised games being shown. We’ve got the screens, the pints, and now – the frozen treats."
He added: "Whether you’re a football fanatic or just here for the fun, Pitchers is the place to be. Big games, cold beer, and a nostalgic throwback in the form of a classic tip top with every pint – what more could you want?
"So rally the squad, bring your best sun-soaking shades, and head down to Pitchers for a weekend that’s guaranteed to be, well tip top."
However, like cob, roll or bap, there could be sports fans from some parts of the country who will have no idea what Jason and the team are talking about, as Tip Tops are also known as Ice Pops.
