This summer, Island Poké is shaking up post-work drinks with the launch of Island Hour – a fresh take on Happy Hour, in collaboration with tequila cocktail brand, Pimentae. Every Thursday from 5:00-8:00pm, Island Hour will encourage Londoners to swap ‘al-desko’ for ‘al-fresco’ with the ultimate park-ready poké picnic. The poké picnic bag, which will be available across all Island Poké sites and Uber Eats from 8th May- 31st August, will feature the limited-edition Avocado and Pimentae Margarita Salsa with tortilla chips, two signature Island Poké bowls and two Pimentae tequila cocktail cans – chilled to perfection for post-work park pit-stops.
To celebrate the launch of Island Hour, Island Poké and Pimentae are throwing a one-night-only launch party on Thursday 8th May from 5pm at Island Poké Shoreditch. Featuring free-flowing poké, Pimentae cocktails and a set from DJ Willy G, it’s the ultimate way to kickstart the summer season. Entry is free, but spots on the guestlist are limited – sign up at www.islandpoke.com/island-hour-is-here/
Hilary Brett, Operations Director at Island Poké said: “We’re known for fresh, feel-good food that fuels your day – but Island Hour is about extending that energy into the evening. Partnering with Pimentae on this new take on Happy Hour enables us to offer a whole new occasion to our customers – the poké picnic! We’re excited to see Island Poké and Pimentae become a staple of after-work al-fresco get togethers”
Alice Parmiter, co-founder of Pimentae said: “Our collaboration with Island Poké captures everything Pimentae is about – flavour, fun and a bringing people together.
