A BURY restaurant is offering free homemade cake as a thank you to ‘designated pushchair drivers’.

The Waterfold Farm is celebrating parents who have to interrupt their dinner to try and get their little ones back to sleep.

Karl Storey, general manager at Waterfold Farm, said: “As a family-focused restaurant we know all too well that someone often has to take responsibility for getting young children back to sleep while dining out as a family.

“That’s why we’re offering designated pushchair drivers in Bury a free cakeaway to enjoy on the move whilst they tend to their little ones – it’s the least we can do to champion the unsung heroes who so often have to watch their food go cold while everyone else tucks into a delicious plate of carvery!”

To get their hands on free cake, parents will need to state they are the ‘designated pushchair driver’ when ordering a main meal to receive a slice of homemade cake, baked in house by Waterfold Farm’s Cake-a-tier.

Andy Bush from Absolute Radio’s Hometime Show, said: “As a dad I know first-hand how frustrating it can be when you’re given the role of designated pushchair driver –pacing around a carpark whatever the weather, trying to get your baby to go to sleep.

“This is why we put a call out for pubs and restaurants to get involved and support our cause. We’re thrilled to be able to join forces with the Waterfold Farm to be able to celebrate the ‘guardians of the pushchair’ and give them a special little treat to make up for missing out dinner time with friends and family.”

The trial will be available at all Farmhouse Inns dining and carvery restaurants to February 13 2019. For more information on the designated pushchair driver promotion and for full terms and conditions, please visit the Farmhouse Inns website www.farmhouseinns.co.uk/absolute-radio.
