A KIDDERMINSTER pub is celebrating the start of the school summer holidays by giving away free cake.

The Larch Wood Farm, Silverwoods Way, is hiding a series of 'sunshine plates' - which are decorated with an emblem of the sun - in its breakfast and carvery racks - and anyone who pulls one out will instantly win a large slice of cake for dessert.

And every sunshine plate winner will also be entered into a prize draw, where one lucky family will win free food at the pub for a year, up to the value of £1,000.

The giveaway will run until Friday September 3.

Larch Wood Farm general manager, Matthew Barnes, 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 Larch Wood this summer, plates mean prizes

"The team are excited to bring some sunshine into our guests' summers, whatever the weather, which is why we're inviting families to visit for their chance to win a summer prize.

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