Free mini lobster rolls in Brighton this week
Brighton get ready, as the Burger & Lobster bikes are returning on Wednesday 17 September in advance of World Lobster Day later in the month. The bikes will hit the streets handing out free mini lobster rolls between 11am - 2pm and 3pm - 6pm, to whet people’s appetite ahead of the big day. Those keen to join the hunt should visit the Burger & Lobster Instagram @burgerandlobster for more information. Following research from last year that revealed that over 60% of Brits still consider lobster out of reach, Burger & Lobster are on a mission to make lobster more accessible, inclusive, and joyfully messy for everyone. On Thursday 25 September – the official World Lobster Day – the Bring a Mate, Get a Plate offer is also back by popular demand. The promotion invites diners to share their love of lobster with a friend who has never tried it before. Simply buy one lobster main and get another lobster main for free. On that particular day, the restaurant in Market Street, Brighton will only be accepting walk-ins so as to accommodate as many lobster lovers as possible.Whether choosing a wild-caught lobster grilled or steamed to perfection, a lobster roll dressed with mouth-watering lemon mayo served in a toasted brioche bun, or the lobster-topped Beast Burger, each dish is served with a portion of signature fries and lemon and garlic butter. For those who can’t decide, try the Burger & Lobster combos, bringing the burger and the lobster or lobster roll together on one plate, promising to turn a lobster novice into a lobster lover. This year, World Lobster Day will be supporting the National Lobster Hatchery, with £1 from every bill going to their vital conservation work to protect and replenish native lobster populations across the UK coastline.
