A PUB is offering thousands of pounds worth of free meals and drinks for locals who promise to spend quality time with loved ones this Christmas.

The Fox & Hounds in Hungerford, Bursledon, has announced the initiative after discovering that 74 per cent of Brits have put spending quality time with family at the top of this year’s Christmas list.

The pub is now encouraging locals to reconnect with loved ones and inspire them to do acts of kindness in the local community by giving away thousands of pounds worth of meals and drinks.

Stephen Hammond, general manager at the Fox & Hounds Chef & Brewer pub, said: “While Christmas 2020 is likely to be a bit different to other years, it’s a time to remember what’s really important to us.

"That’s why we’re encouraging people in Hungerford, Bursledon to reconnect with loved ones and to look out for one another this Christmas."
