The Welby, on Nottingham Road, is calling for locals to nominate their dad online, to be in with a chance of winning a £500 experience day for two and the coveted title of ‘Ultimate Dad’.

The Hungry Horse pub has launched its ‘Do It for Dad’ competition after discovering that only 17 per cent of Brits tell their dad they love them on Father’s Day.

Samuel Thorpe, general manager at the Welby, said: “We realise that Father’s Day can sometimes be overlooked but it was a real surprise to see just how many people aren’t showing their dads the appreciation they deserve.

“We want to encourage our local families to give something back to their dads this Father’s Day by giving them the opportunity to win a special bonding experience for two, as well as a parenting accolade like no other! We can’t wait to see what Melton’s dads have to offer.”

Meltonians can nominate their dad on the Hungry Horse website (www.hungryhorse.co.uk/social/do-it-for-dad) until Sunday, June 12, explaining in 100 words why they believe their dad deserves to take home the title and prize.

l Father’s Day is on Sunday, June 19, and we are offering you the chance to tell your dad just how great he is through the Melton Times.

You can share a FREE special message through the newspaper published on Thursday, June 16, and online on the day itself.
