A local branch of global pizza chain Papa John’s will be giving away free pizzas this weekend.

Papa John’s was established in America during the 1980’s and has since grown — now being found in over 30 countries worldwide.

Lincoln’s High Street store will be celebrating the company’s tenth year of trading within the UK.

To mark the occasion a total of fifty pizzas will be offered to members of the public, starting at midday Saturday.

Mayor of Lincoln Councillor Geoff Kirby will also be paying a visit to the franchised takeaway, unveiling a plaque celebrating the company’s decade of trading.

Lincoln pub The Horse & Groom is offering passers-by a preview of what the premises will look like following its refurbishment.

The Carholme Road public house is currently covered in a large canvas advertisement (pictured), showing a new logo, in addition to various images of what to expect once the pub re-opens.

Following its closure in January of 2010, pub owners Enterprise Inns went on to apply for planning permission to improve the building.

The approved planning application will see large umbrellas installed in the garden area, as well as seeing the internal lounge area extended.

Once completed, the pub’s focus will be on serving food—whereas previously the bar has been used as a live music venue and before that, as a gay bar.
