The establishment did the same thing last year and the confirmed that 2017 would be no different.\

They said in a statement: “There are no tricks, hidden marketing swerves or strings, it’s quite simple.

“If you are going to be on your own for whatever reason on Christmas day, come over and we’ll give you a Christmas dinner and pint/glass of wine for free.”

And in a final reminder to all of us, the pub said: “Do something good for somebody this Christmas, it’s kind of the whole point when it comes down to it.”
