A POPULAR Pan-Asian restaurant in Manchester city centre is offering customers a free lunch, no strings attached.

To celebrate the launch of its new sharing platter for three, Banyan Bar and Kitchen, in Spinningfields, is offering 50 trios the chance to try it on the house on Wednesday, September 18.

Banyan has five outlets across the north of England, describing itself as ‘the natural meeting place for food and drink, whatever the occasion, creating the very best cocktails, favourite dishes, and memorable experiences in a friendly vibrant atmosphere'.

The offer will run from 2.30pm to 5pm, but staff at the Hardman Street restaurant recommend guests arrive early for a chance to try such delights as their Pan-Asian chicken and tacos and other mouth-watering treats, as the offer runs on a first come, first served basis. 

Laura Lewis, marketing director at Banyan’s parent company, Arc Inspirations, said: “At Banyan, we love bringing people together, whatever the occasion, and this campaign will do just that.

“Our menu has been curated with sharing in mind, inspired to spark conversations and create memories with friends and family.

“We’re looking forward to treating trios to a meal on the house this month, so grab two friends and come on down.”
