The Shaston Arms Turns 25: A Celebration of Carnaby’s Favourite Pub with Sally Graham
This November, we are proudly marking our 25th anniversary in the heart of Soho! Since opening on December 19th 1999, the pub has been a cherished Carnaby staple, known for its lively atmosphere and warm community. This milestone celebration honours our legendary landlady, Sally Graham, whose vibrant spirit and dedication has made The Shaston a haven for locals, shoppers, and visitors alike.
A Journey Through the Years
Under the family-owned Hall & Woodhouse brewery, The Shaston Arms was transformed from two shop spaces into our cosy pub loved by many today. Inspired by Dorset's traditional charm, we offer guests a slice of the countryside in bustling Soho.
Since day one, Sally has been at the helm, bringing her unique touch to every pint poured and every memory made. Sally shares, “I am immensely proud of what I have achieved at the Shaston. The DNA of the pub is so special and the fact that we have created a real haven for locals and visitors alike is not something I take for granted. Her (the pub’s) wooden floors, classic pub atmosphere, and with our nostalgic soundtrack, the vibe at The Shaston is second to none. It’s therefore only fitting that we celebrate our anniversary in true Shaston style.”
The Lady Shaston Ale
To celebrate our 25 years, we’re bringing back 1999 prices for a limited-edition beer crafted especially for the occasion: The Lady Shaston Ale. Available for just £2.50 a pint (while supplies last), this exclusive brew is Sally’s collaboration with the Hall & Woodhouse Head Brewer.
In honour of Sally’s remarkable tenure, look out for our temporary new name: The Lady Shaston, with celebratory signage throughout November.
