About this space

Big Hug Social is Big Hug Brewing’s first permanent home — tucked into a railway arch on the iconic Bermondsey Beer Mile, a few minutes from Bermondsey tube and an easy walk from London Bridge or Borough Market. A brand with purpose we support People & Planet.

We have a capacity of 120 with room for 70 seating and an outside gravelled courtyard area that can sit 25-30 people with room for 40-50 standing without the seating. Inside we have a flexible lighting system to suit any occassion, a punchy sound system that runs through the whole arch along with 6 digital screens plus a 120inch projector screen if needed. The seating is a mix of benches, high tables, sofas and chairs and is completely flexible. The bar is situated in the middle of the arch with the front section being used for seating and the rear of the venue where we set up for DJ's, bands and talks/quiz's which we host regularly.

Our taproom has 12 taps featuring beers from our core range and seasonals/specials as well as some amazing brands and suppliers who share similar values & ethos to us in supporting social causes or initiatives close to their heart. This allows us to maximise our impact for positive change whilst minimising our impact on the planet.
