A Gedling pub is again promoting an offer that gained national attention when it spectacularly backfired.
The Gedling Inn on Main Road has announced it will again be offering a free pint every time Forest score tomorrow when the Reds face Brighton away in the quarter final of the FA Cup at 17.15pm.
Football fans were in seventh heaven last time the Reds faced The Seagulls after the pub delivered on its promise to offer a free pint for every Forest goal – which they won 7-0.
The light-hearted offer was launched back in February by the pub to celebrate the arrival of the TNT Sports channel – but the seven goal blitz meant punters kept their wallets firmly shut as they queued up for their free beer.
300 pints of Foster’s and Strongbow were handed out during the game and also free soft drinks.
The latest offer has been announced as the pub celebrates the launch of a new menu with lots of new items and a buy one get one free deal.
The previous stunt was estimated to have cost the boozer around £1,500 – but landlady Beccy Webster said ‘it had been worth it’.
At the time she told Gedling Eye: “We gave away a few hundred on the day and the atmosphere was buzzing.
“As a Forest fan it was all worth giving away the free beer to see that huge victory – plus it’s nice to give back to loyal customers too.”
Nice one Beccy!
