AN Ellesmere Port pub will be offering hundreds of slices of free cake to families as a way of celebrating the start of the school summer holidays.

Green Oak Farm on Rossmore Road East will be hiding a series of 'sunshine' plates within its breakfast and carvery decks.

Customers who find a hidden plate will be instantly rewarded with a free 'cakeaway' – a giant slice of one of the pub's freshly-baked, signature cakes.

The offer will run from Monday, July 19 until Friday, September 3.

One lucky winner will also receive free cake and a cherry on top in the form of free food for them and their family at Green Oak Farm for a whole year.

Every sunshine plate winner will be given secret access to the exclusive prize draw which will see one lucky family dine at the restaurant free for the next 12 months, with up to the value of £1,000 in gift cards for Farmhouse Inns.

General manager Lee Tomlinson-Greenway said: “We know families are looking to let their hair down and indulge in some much-needed fun this summer.

"Whilst we can’t guarantee the sunshine, we can guarantee sunshine plates – and at Green Oak Farm this summer, plates mean prizes!

“Whether customers are visiting to treat the kids with the return of our Kids Eat for £1 weekday offer, calling in on the way home from a day out, or need an easy option after a day of entertaining, there’s really no better way to finish a meal than by winning a free slice of our freshly-baked cakeaway!

“The team are excited to bring some sunshine into our guests’ summers, whatever the weather, which is why we’re inviting local families to visit Green Oak Farm for their chance to win a summer surprise.

"We can guarantee big smiles all around for the lucky winners during the summer.”
