The chef duo Michelin Guide hotspots Fallow, FOWL and Roe – Will Murray and Jack Croft – claim to have reinvented the reviled supermarket meal deal
It’s the ultimate upgrade for lunch al desko – and it only costs £3. Two of London’s top chefs have reinvented the traditional supermarket sandwich meal deal to make it fit for foodies. Will Murray and Jack Croft, the duo behind Michelin Guide hotspots Fallow, FOWL and Roe, stepped up to the plate as new research revealed 65% of Brits eat lunch at their desks – and just 13% take a proper hour off.
The pair have teamed up with Uber Eats to produce a mouthwatering selection of midday treats including Coronation lobster roll, rotisserie chicken & ssamjang bun, cheese & honion focaccia plus a VLT sarnie. Each sandwich is priced at £3 and comes with a complimentary serving of luxury crisps and a soft drink.
Will said: “This isn’t about reclaiming the meal deal – we think it’s already a brilliant British staple. We wanted to honour it, put our own spin on it, and celebrate the art of lunch.
“We had a lot of fun creating these recipes, and we hope they bring a bit of joy to people who’ve powered through a long morning.”
Jack added: “We’ve always believed that flavour shouldn’t be confined to fine dining. Collaborating with Uber Eats to elevate the everyday lunch has been an exciting challenge and one that reflects how we like to eat, too.”
Uber Eats launches the new menu at an Uber Eats Sandwich Studio in Potters Field, London, on Tuesday July 15. It will be open between 12.30 – 3pm, with Uber One customers benefitting from a further price drop at just £2.
The meal deals will also be available via the Uber Eats app in Manchester and Liverpool on Thursday 17th July and Friday, 18th July, respectively.
Proceeds from every purchase will be donated to Uber Eats partner City Harvest, a food redistribution charity which rescues nutritious surplus food from farms, manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers, and delivers it for free to those facing food poverty.
