Calling all beer lovers – Bromley needs your help to break a world record.

The Compass pub, in Widmore Road, is trying to break the record for the most number of people drinking the same beer at the same time.

The current record is 714 people and was set last November in Mexico.

On Friday (September 18) TCG, the company which owns Compass, is trying to smash that record by recruiting people to quench their thirsts in one of their 40 pubs.

Those willing to take part will get a free pint of Hobgoblin ale.

MORE TOP STORIES The world record attempt marks the Compass's ‘Proud of Our Ale' beer festival, which runs through to 31 October.

General manager at the Compass, Margaret Smart said, "On the day when rugby is coming home to the UK, it seems only appropriate that we should also bring home the record for drinking beer.

The big event starts at 7pm, and anyone wanting to take part needs to pre-register on Facebook and be happy to join the group photo.
