Fallow to offer £3 meal deal on UberEats
The hit restaurant Fallow is offer a £3 meal deal in collaboration with UberEats, for one day only. Chef-owners Will Murray and Jack Croft have created an 'al-desko' menu for the brand, 'reimagining meal deal classics' with an upmarket twist. The duo are stepping away from their chicken head pies and snail vindaloo flatbreads and concentrating their efforts on luxury sandwiches such as coronation lobster rolls, rotisserie chicken and ssamjang buns, cheese and onion focaccia, and a VLT – vegan BLT – sarnies. 'This isn't about reclaiming the meal deal — we think it's already a brilliant British staple,' said Murray and Croft. '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.' Each sandwich will be available for £3 and comes with crisps and a drink to complete the meal deal look. Presumably UberEats is taking a monetary hit here for the purposes of PR. The deal will be available in London on July 15 before moving to Manchester and Liverpool between 17-18. Fallow is the latest high-profile outfit to team up with the delivery brand, which has worked with the likes of Ynyshir and L'Enclume. UberEats' Matthew Price said: 'Whether it's lunchtime on a Monday or a late-night pick-me-up at the weekend, Uber Eats is here for those moments when you've simply done enough. 'We want to celebrate everyday wins and make great food that little bit more accessible, whenever and wherever you need it.' This latest partnership comes as UberEats is launching a new sandwich studio in Potters Field. Gracefully, the proceeds of every £3 purchase will go to City Harvest, a charity that works to redistribute unused food from farms, wholesalers and retailers to those in need. Available in London via the UberEats app on July 15,

What quintessentially British images should go on the new banknotes? Our panel has some ideas
Athena Kugblenu Comedian and writer After the £10 note with Jane Austen was issued in 2017, I joked that 'patriarchy is putting Jane Austen on money after we've all switched to contactless'. The Bank of England's decision to ask the public what they want on their cash stirs the same 'too little, too late' sentiment in me. Still, it is nice to take a day off from the cynicism and tackle the question with sincerity: what item, idea or thing best represents Britain? So much comes to mind: a Greggs vegan sausage roll; a rail replacement bus; a traffic cone stuck somewhere it's not supposed to be. All things quintessentially British. However, there is nothing as irrefutably representative of our national character than the meal deal. An unsatisfying sandwich, a shrinkflation-hit packet of crisps and a flat fizzy drink. Functionally satiating and depressing at the same time. Stick that on your fiver and spend it (since that's what a meal deal seems to cost these days). David Reynolds Professor of international history at Cambridge University Despite being a historian, I welcome the Bank of England's decision to move away from historical and cultural figures. Icons touch too many nerves. I like the Bermudian idea of using flora and fauna to capture a country's distinctive identity. A shift like this would show that we're not trapped in tradition. It also plays to the passion for gardens even in the smallest of spaces and gently reminds us of the climate crisis that is being pushed dangerously to the sidelines. Of course, the precise choice of plants and animals will also generate controversy but one on which everyone can, and will, have a view, ensuring it's democratic rather than elitist. Personally, I would make a special plea to include the robin redbreast – colourful in voice and appearance all through the year. Coco Khan Writer and co-host of the politics podcast Pod Save the UK Sadly, the Bank of England has excluded 'living people' from the criteria of what should adorn the new banknotes, which rules out my first choice: the 'what a sad little life, Jane' guy. Hear me out. If you haven't seen the iconic piece of British television to which this refers (it's a line from an indignant concession speech by a contestant on Come Dine With Me), get thee to YouTube at once. It's a television moment that has burrowed its way deep into the psyche of large swathes of the public. And at a time of enormous division, what could be amore unifying source of national pride than our irreverent sense of humour? Perhaps this tone applied to the allowed criteria could bear fruit. Native animals and landscapes? Got to be a seagull, chip in beak. Architecture and landmarks? Surely the wheelie bin. Admittedly none are as worthy as say, the suffragettes or the Windrush generation, or feel as emotional as the NHS or our precious rivers and lakes. But it would be a bold message to the world: here we are, a nation so resilient, thick-skinned and confident it can even gently laugh at itself. Connor Myers Student at the University of Exeter and a Guardian intern It's often London-based landmarks that occupy the nation's imagination with these things. So, with an eye on representing Britain's architectural heritage and the ingenuity of our early craftsmen outside of the capital, I propose Lincoln Cathedral. A perhaps radical but entirely worthy option, the structure overtook the Great Pyramid of Giza to become the world's tallest building upon its completion in 1311. The majority of the cathedral still stands to this day, having withstood wars and periods of rapid social change. And, having housed one of only four surviving copies of Magna Carta, its importance to the British democratic tradition is hard to overstate. In a world moving away from cold, hard, physical cash, Lincoln Cathedral on the notes that remain in circulation would remind us of the ambition of those who came before us, and the endurance of the communities that kept it standing. Henry Bonsu Broadcaster and journalist Not so long ago, the Bank of England would have been on safe ground. Back when people and tastes were more monochrome, it was relatively easy to decide which historical figures had enough universal appeal to appear on our banknotes. But now that even a Labour prime minister can declare we're becoming an 'island of strangers', how do we agree on a notable figure who can withstand the fury of today's culture wars? Thankfully, the bank has widened the net to include suggestions from the worlds of architecture, popular culture, nature or great events. This means that as well as Olaudah Equiano, an enslaved African who bought his freedom and became a great 18th-century abolitionist and writer, I can suggest an annual occasion that truly speaks not just to who we are, but who we might become if only we listened to our better angels. It attracts more active participants than any other event of its kind, it removes barriers of race, colour or creed rather than erecting them, and sends a healthy message around the world about Britain and the people who live here. I speak of course of the London Marathon. Who could resist a picture of the madding crowds thronging over the iconic Tower Bridge?

MORRISONS has fired up a brand-new pizza counter – and it's serving up a cracking meal deal to mark the launch. From today, shoppers can grab two pizzas and a side or dessert for just a tenner from the supermarket's revamped Market Street Pizza Counter. 2 Even better, More Card customers get an extra 10 per cent off every Monday – so your pizza night just got cheaper. The new range includes a mouth-watering mix of 11-inch woodfired pizzas, cheesy stuffed crusts and massive 14-inch stonebaked favourites, all freshly made in-store. There's something for every taste – from a Loaded BBQ Chicken & Bacon Stuffed Crust to a veggie Butternut Squash and Roast Veg Woodfired Pizza. And if you're feeling picky, you can still build your own pizza – it's included in the deal and handmade while you shop. Morrisons has also lined up a tasty selection of sides and sweets, including garlic dough balls, cheesy nachos, and the fiery Garlic Cheese Bomb with Hot Honey. Prefer pudding? No problem. Swap your side for a sweet treat like warm Cookie Cups or cinnamon-dusted Loop Churros with chocolate sauce. For an extra quid, you can add dips like Cheesy Pizza, Garlic & Herb, or even a bottle of Coke to wash it all down.

Furious shoppers slam Sainsbury's for quietly hiking price of its meal deal AGAIN
SAINSBURY'S has hiked the price of its lunchtime meal deal by 20p. The popular midday lunch bundle has gone from £3.75 to £3.95, causing upset among its workers and customers. 1 Shoppers have already spotted the hike, with one person writing on X: "Sainsburys meal deal gone up to £3.90 we are in the end times." Another said: "Had to do a double take when I saw the price increase." A third said the supermarket was "sneaking" the price up. Another added: "This is not a drill - Sainsbury's meal deals have been upped again and are £3.95 - it was £3.75 before today." A fifth shopper said: "Why TF was my Sainsbury's meal deal £3.95 - should we all just give up?" Sainsbury's staff were also complaining on Reddit. One posted: "Wow saw that the meal deal has gone up to £3.95. Did anyone else know beforehand or did my managers fail to inform us this was happening?" Another added: "Honestly I just tend not to eat at work anymore. Eatings too expensive." A third said: "Saw it last night , funny , we all said it's packed lunch then , we will still buy it , because we still struggle to wake up for work." The change comes less than a year after Sainsbury's last hiked the price of its meal deal. The supermarket's meal deal went up in July 2024 from £3.50 to £3.75. Shoppers said at the time the sudden price hike was "sneaky". The price of the more expensive Premium meal deal has not changed from £5. Customers can choose a combination of a main, a side and a drink. Popular choices include sandwiches, a piece of fruit or bag of crisps and a Diet Coke or Lipton Ice Tea. The supermarket recently introduced 35 new products into its meal deal range, including the option to build your own salad. A Sainsbury's spokesperson said: "With millions of possible combinations, we continue to offer one of the best value meal deals around. "We've also recently introduced a range of new products just in time for summer, including our best-seller Picnic Triple Sandwich and build your own salad options. "This means anyone who shops with us can choose from an affordable selection of over 150 mains, 300 snacks and 400 drinks." How do other supermarkets compare? The Sun recently looked at how much a meal deal will set you back at different shops. Even with the price increase, the Sainsbury's meal deal is still - just about - among the cheapest options. The most expensive meal deal comes from Waitrose, which charges £5. Boots, Co-op, Morrisons and Tesco all charge £4 if you don't use their loyalty cards. If you have a Boots Advantage Card, the deal is £3.60. You can get a meal deal for the same price at Tesco if you have a Clubcard. If you're a Co-op member you can get the lunchtime deal for £3.50. Morrisons More Card holders can get the meal deal for £3.60. Some of these supermarkets have also increased the price of their meal deals recently. Tesco put its prices up from £3.40 to £3.60 for Clubcard members in August last year.
