Delicious Eastern delights will now be available for guests to enjoy whilst supping on a pint of draught Guinness.  As part of an arrangement with Chinese specialist food manufacturers Amoy, holidaymakers can chose from Sweet & Sour Chicken, Beef & Black Bean Sauce, Prawn & Yellow Bean Sauce and Vegetable Kung Po available at just £3.95 along with snack favourites prawn crackers for only 99p.

Further value for money can be enjoyed with daily happy hour from 6-8pm during which time guests can indulge in fine ales and drinks such as Guinness at just £2.40 per pint, Tetley’s Ale at £2.25 per pint and lagers and ciders from only £2.25 per pint.

The introduction comes as part of an extensive refurbishment of the Irish bar and its surrounding areas which now includes extended landscaped gardens with new seating areas which are lit to allow evening enjoyment and have outside heating to keep the chills away.

The décor’s not the only thing to receive a face lift at The Swinging Shillelagh, open daily from 12noon until late, as the entertainment schedule now offers live Irish Caeli Bands, afternoon and late night karaoke sessions. Plus new for 2008 ‘Soap or Soak’, an interactive family talent show with the audience judging and those with the least points having to ‘sing in the shower’ and encounter a very wet booby prize!

Julian Highfield, Resort Director at Butlins, Minehead said, “You may not automatically think noodles and Guinness but at Butlins, we say…why not!?!  We are always looking at surprising our customers and giving them something fun and enjoyable to try whilst offering fantastic value for money and creating a great holiday experience. “
