THE North East’s popular leisure hubs are inviting people to step away from the drab homemade sandwiches – and tuck into a special lunchtime deal instead.
Today (Tues 10 June) STACK Seaburn and St. James’ STACK Newcastle will be launching their STACK-ed lunch campaign, encouraging diners to give up their packed lunch and enjoy their range of top street food vendors instead.
And as an added incentive anyone who is part of the STACK loyalty scheme – which can be joined via their free app – will get double points when they take advantage of the new offer.
For every 200 points amassed, the person will get a £10 bar tab, with the lunch deal meaning they can reach that total in half the time.
The offer will run Monday to Friday between noon and 4pm throughout June and July, with anyone who has the app also being the first to know of any special offers the food vendors are promoting.
Gemma Dishman, Project Development Director at STACK said the aim of the campaign was to get people who may be working from home to meet up with friends or for groups of office workers to leave their desks.
“The beauty of eating at STACK is that there are no long waits so people can pop in and get their lunch in good time,” Gemma said.
“It’s also a great way for colleagues to have a get-together, rather than eating some uninspiring food at their desk.
“And for anyone really short of time, there’s the option to order in advance so they can just pick up their food at their chosen time and it will be ready for them.”
The venues will also be hosting monthly lunch networking and social events across all the sites, running on the third Thursdays of the month from noon until 3pm.
The first event will take place on 19 June and then on 17 July, with the aim of getting people to interact in a casual setting.
The venues have a range of top street food on offer with Holy Duck, Yolo Coffee and Kitchen, Bao Down, Acropolis, Davey’s Mexicano, Brack Burger and ZZA Pizzeria at both sites.
STACK Seaburn also has Downey’s Fish and Chips and Seafood and Steak Co , while St. James’ STACK has Texas Smoker, OK Please Indian style food and Tip Top Chinese.
The STACK leisure app can be downloaded from the app store or Google play.
