Chance to bag 2-night UK staycation for 4 people for £1.50 – the price of Ginsters bake

This May, Ginsters is giving Brits the chance to bag a 2-night UK staycation for up to four people for just £1.50 – the price of a Ginsters Bake after one in three Brits admit to not making any plans or going away this bank holiday because they can’t afford to.

What’s more, the UK destinations available are doppelgangers for the international destinations that inspired the much-loved Bakes pastry range from Ginsters, including Philly Cheese Steak, Cajun Chicken, Mac and Cheese and Meatball Marinara.

Brits will get the chance to submit their details to the dedicated ‘Bake Holiday’ page on the Ginsters website to be in with the chance of bagging a £1.50 Bake Holiday to either the ‘Italian Riviera’ (Portmeirion in Wales), ‘Philadelphia’ (London), ‘New Orleans’ (Brighton) or ‘Washington DC’ (Edinburgh), all selected for their likeness to the real thing by a Hollywood film and TV location scout, who has worked on films like Layer Cake and Molly’s Game.

Sarah Babb from Ginsters said: “We’re all feeling the pinch at the moment, and on top of that, recent events, like the 14-hour queues at Dover affecting holidaymakers, are not helping to lift our mood. Our Bakes range is made in Britain, but with globally inspired flavours, so we thought we’d extend the metaphor and inject a little fun into the Bank Holidays this May by matching the flavours in our range to UK holiday destinations that you can stay at for the price of a Ginsters Bake!”

THE GINSTERS ‘BAKE HOLIDAY’ DESTINATIONS

Entries open from Friday 29 th  April 2023 – Monday 1 st  May 2023

Italian Riviera = Portmeirion, Wales

Inspired by flavoursome Italian cuisine, the Ginsters Meatball Marinara Bake is made with Italian-style British pork and beef meatballs with pockets of creamy melted mozzarella in a rich tomato sauce with onion, red pepper and slow roast tomato, all wrapped in light golden puff pastry. If jetting off to the continent this summer to enjoy a delicious bowl of pasta in the riviera sun is going to break the bank, Ginsters is offering a £1.50 two-night stay to the small village of Portmeirion in Wales. Handpicked for your holiday, thanks to its unique riviera-esque look and coastal location, this beauty spot has all the charm of a quaint Italian village, without having to go through customs.

Location scout, Luke Jackson said: “Portmeirion is one of the most remarkable things to find in Wales and is a moment of pure genus (or folly)! Harking back to the Italian Riviera it sits on a cliffside overlooking Cardigan Bay to its south. Rumoured to be based on Portofino, it is breath-taking to find such a gem on our doorstep in Wales. It, like the Italian Riviera, has been featured in numerous filming productions, most notably Prisoner.”

New Orleans = Brighton
