free soft drinks all night from Yate's Bars

Offer is available to the first 100,000 people to text in to receive the ‘text voucher’

We have teamed up to provide designated drivers with free soft drinks all night in any one of Yates’s 124 bars across the UK. The move means that friends and parties out celebrating the festive season will have a somebody sober at the wheel on the way home – and with their drinks on us.

For the price of your normal network charge Red Driving School and Yates’s Bars will treat you to a whole nights worth of Free Soft Drinks. Simply shown the text voucher to a Yates’s Bar team member to receive your free drinks.
So take care of those around you and Drive and Survive this Christmas.

    I'll use this to get soft drinks and then just spirits on their own. Then mix them myself.

    Thanks!!

    trouble is with this idea is that they will stop doing it if it gets abused .. like most freebies on here

    It wouldn't be in their interest too.

    They've obviously spent time thinking about this offer to attract custom.

    Soft drinks cost them pennies. I'd also be buying spirits, where they make a lot of money.
    Equally, I could just drink soft drinks all day and nothing else - exactly how the offer is promoted.

    Also, only a handful will have the knowledge of this offer so the loss is nothing. Generally speaking they would have succeeded with their promotion to basically attract most customers.

    yes i agree that soft drinks cost pennies to the pubs but not to the general public can cost over £2 some over £3 to buy a coke.. if it was such a great idea why dont they and all the other pubs do it throughout the rest of the year.. that way most people including me would go more often..

    It seems they have thought of this, in T&C number 5: Yates’s Bars have the right to refuse free soft drinks to people they feel have abused the offer, either by mixing alcohol with the soft drinks,
    look after the pennies.....
