A ‘pots o’ gold’ coin will be hidden in O’Neill’s pub in St Albans to reward customers celebrating St Patrick’s Day.

The authentic Irish pub in St Albans wants to make the annual Irish Saints Day go with a bang for one customer.

Pub managers will hide a coin tomorrow with a prize of £250 in cash.

Bar Manager of O’Neill’s in St Albans said: “Every year we see more people through our doors on St Patrick’s Day than on any other day in the year.

“It seems everyone becomes an adopted Irishman or woman on St Patrick’s Day and head to O’Neill’s for that truly authentic Irish experience.

“We’re expecting 2015 to be our busiest St Patrick’s Day ever and we’ve got loads planned to keep our customers happy. What could be better than having the chance to win a £250 pot of gold – enough to pay for even the most exorbitant St Patrick’s Day celebration.

“One of our customer’s is definitely going to enjoy the luck of the Irish on March 17.”
