Whether it’s a devoted volunteer, a tireless carer, a supportive neighbour or a friend who always puts others before themselves, Butcombe wants to shine a spotlight on the everyday heroes who make a difference throughout the year.  One deserving winner at each pub will receive a complimentary Festive Afternoon Tea to enjoy during the festive season.

Alice Bowyer, Managing Director, Managed Pubs, Butcombe Group says: “Christmas is all about spending time with the people who matter most, and we know every community is full of unsung heroes who go above and beyond for others throughout the year.  As we launch our very first Festive Afternoon Teas, we wanted to celebrate those special people who make a real difference to their families, friends and local communities.

“We’re looking forward to reading the nominations and treating some truly deserving individuals to a festive experience filled with great food, warm hospitality and a little seasonal sparkle.”

Each Festive Afternoon Tea includes a selection of seasonal sandwiches, cakes and sweet treats, served alongside freshly brewed tea or coffee in a warm and welcoming setting. Guests can also add a glass of bubbles for an extra touch of festive sparkle.

To enter, guests simply need to visit the Instagram page of the White Horse or The Old House Inn and submit a nomination of up to 50 words.  Entries should explain why their nominee is so extraordinary, what they do for their family, friends or local community, and why they deserve to be celebrated this festive season with a complimentary Festive Afternoon Tea experience.

The competition is designed to recognise those who make a positive difference to the lives of others and to spread a little festive cheer in communities across the region.
