Slug & Lettuce ice cream van will roll into Bristol with 500 freebies

Cocktail bar chain Slug & Lettuce will be handing out hundreds of free ice creams in Bristol this week once the stormy weather has blown over.

On Friday (August 19) it will be bringing its very own ice cream van to Millennium Square as part of its 10-town tour of the UK, giving away 500 free ice creams in each location. To add to the excitement, they will also be handing out exclusive goodie bags including a Beauty BLVD lipstick to the first 30 lucky early birds to get a chance to snag the gifts.

The van will be there from 12pm, where people can enjoy a free ice cream inspired by cocktail flavours. Partygoers can also scan a QR code to get a free summer cocktail at any Slug & Lettuce branch, including in Bristol, to redeem before September 20.
