A LUCKY diner found himself behind the wheel of the latest BMW Series 520d after hitting a hole-in-one with a competition set up by a Chester restaurant.

Dr Mike McNally, 66, of Chester swapped his buggy for a BMW on a recent golfing weekend thanks to the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar and Grill Chester and car dealership Halliwell Jones.

A competition took place during a busy Father’s Day sitting at the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar and Grill. Dining dads were all invited to enter the prize draw to win a BMW for a weekend of their choice.

Dr McNally was randomly selected from the hundreds of entries and decided to save his prize for a special weekend golfing with his friends at the Hill Valley Golf and Country Club in Whitchurch.

Mike said: “I was absolutely thrilled to win the BMW for the weekend. The car was a real joy to drive and I was so impressed with all the latest technology onboard.

“I saved the car for a particular weekend as I knew all my regular golfing friends would be around. I decided I’d play a joke on them and told them it was a car I had won in a competition; they were all amazed. However, I did tell them later on it was only for the weekend.”

The BMW for a weekend competition is one of many offers that has come from the continuing partnership that MPW Steakhouse Bar and Grill has with Halliwell Jones. Further offers and promotions will soon be in motion.
