1. Join the club! You've heard about The Canbury Club, but did you realise how much money you save by signing on the dotted line? It costs just £20 and you'll immediately receive 5% off all purchases, rising to 10% when you've earned enough 'points'. Becoming a member quickly pays for itself and then all those lovely savings go straight into your pocket. It really is that simple - no catches. Ask behind the bar for an application form.
2. Give yourself a midweek treat without blowing the budget. Despite the gloomy financial forecasts, Wednesdays are always wonderful at The Canbury. As many of you have discovered, the 20% off deal on all starters and mains between 5.30pm and 10pm is the perfect excuse to indulge in some incredible food at very modest prices.
3. Don't bother going to Spain - order some of Simon's authentic tapas instead! With prices starting at just £3 a dish, you can't go wrong. One or two dishes make a satisfying snack or light bite. If you're really hungry, spend just a little more and indulge in a slap-up meal Spanish style. Ask Paul to recommend a glass of wine to compliment your tapas.
4. Start your week with a glass of wine at a knock down price! On Monday nights, we sell all our wines at their retail prices. You pay what you would at a wine merchant's and get the great Canbury atmosphere into the bargain. Cheers!
5. Treat yourself to a nourishing lunch time hot pot for as little as £4.50. Simon and his team came up with the idea of offering good, hearty grub at old-fashioned prices and his hot pots, from curries and coq au vin to the more traditional Lancashire hot pot and Irish stew are a real hit. He's proved that simple ingredients, skilfully prepared needn't cost the earth.
6. Eat at one of the country's top restaurants without paying the bill. I'm not suggesting you do a runner - as a Canbury Customer you can enter my 'Foodie Heaven' prize draw. April's prize was a £200 meal for two at Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea and the winner was Clare Blake. Due to popular demand we will be running a similar competition again for May with another chance to dine at Gordon Ramsay. Look out for future luxurious treats as we will be continuing with our Three Star Michelin prize draws every month!
7. I think it's only fair Canbury Club holders get real value for their loyalty, which is why I always offer them something a little bit extra. May's 'thank you' is two FREE glasses of our carefully selected house white or red wine when two lunch main courses are ordered. Suddenly the credit crunch doesn't seem quite so bad-
8. If your mouth starts watering at the thought of The Canbury's lovely food, but you've promised yourself you'll economise, do the right thing and order a Canbury take away! You can indulge your passion for beautifully cooked food and save yourself a whopping 20% at the same time. It'd be rude not to!
9. Be an early bird and catch the - most incredibly priced restaurant food in Kingston! The Rose theatre and the Odeon cinema are both a short walk from The Canbury arms so it made sense for me to offer a pre-stage and screen menu. You don't have to be going out afterwards though. Anyone ordering from the main menu before 6.30pm Monday to Saturday can toast the fact they'll have earned a 20% discount on all our starters and main courses.
10. The month of May sees the launch of our new Corporate Club! Membership is free to businesses in the area and applicants will receive a platinum card which enables corporate members to receive a whopping 15% discount on all food and drink between 9am and 6pm Monday to Friday. Please ask at the bar for application details.
