A YORK bar is bringing an ice-cream van offering free ice-creams into the city centre.

On August 29 high-street cocktail bar, Slug & Lettuce (S&L), which has two bars in York city centre - in Low Ousegate and Back Swinegate - will be bringing its ice-cream van to Kings Staith from 12 noon.

The van is part of a bid to plug four new limited edition ice cream-inspired cocktails which are available in bars until September 30.

The S&L ice-cream van will be touring the UK, giving away 500 free ice-creams in each location. The first 30 customers will also receive an exclusive goodie bag including a Beauty BLVD lipstick and partygoers can scan a QR code to get a free summer cocktail at any Slug & Lettuce throughout the summer months.
