A BARROW pub is offering free roast dinners to Macmillan nurses. 

The Strawberry in Abbey Road, which is owned by Greene King, is inviting all Macmillan nurses to enjoy a free roast dinner every Sunday in May as part of the pub’s Macmillan May fundraising drive. 

May also marks International Nurses Day on May 12, the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth, so is a special month for nurses around the world.

Zane Dawson, general manager at Strawberry, said: “Macmillan nurses work tirelessly to support people with cancer, and their care makes such a difference in the local community. May is a key month for nurses, both in the UK and internationally, so we decided to mark our Macmillan May fundraising drive and celebrate their hard work. 

“We’re proud to support Macmillan and want to reward them, so we hope they enjoy our offer of a delicious free roast every Sunday throughout May!” 

Macmillan is the pub company’s chosen charity after raising more than £2 million in the last three years, and this is just one of a number of activities that the Strawberry will be doing this year to support the charity.
