Bull Christmas Vouchers
 
Mark
What more could a man want (and ladies of course) for Christmas, other than gift vouchers to spend at their local Pub.
 
Spend your vouchers at the bar or in the dining room and you could even use them for takeaway hoppers, or just pop in for a pint and a snack.
 
Thursday's curry night would be a great opportunity to redeem your Bull Gift Voucher, or you could always treat someone to a Sunday Carvery, or a nice night out. The choices are endless.
 
 
So, for a really unique Christmas present why not ask for, or buy someone a Bull Gift Voucher. For more information give us a call on 01580 240 054 or e-mail voucher@thebullatbenenden.co.uk
