Top chefs turn meal deal into Michelin-star lunch - and it still costs £3

Top chefs turn meal deal into Michelin-star lunch - and it still 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 selection of midday treats including Coronation lobster roll, rotisserie chicken & ssamjang bun, cheese & honion focaccia and a VLT sandwich. 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 12.30pm and 3pm, with Uber One customers benefitting from a further price drop at £2.
The meal deals will also be available via the Uber Eats app in Manchester and Liverpool on Thursday 17 July and Friday, 18 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.
On the menu
Coronation lobster
Coronation lobster, sambal jam, curry leaf mayo and crispy samphire and curry leaves with tomato crisps and sparkling lemonade
Rotisserie chicken and ssamjang
Grilled rotisserie chicken and cheese ciabatta, with pickled carrot slaw, ssamjang, dijon mayo and green hot sauce. Comes with chicken crisps and pineapple soda
Cheese and honion

Bentley's Lavish Mulliner Interiors Will Make Even Rolls-Royce Jealous

Acura has killed off a luxury sedan that once ran with the best of them. View post: The Acura TLX is Dead: A Look Back at the Honda That Almost Beat BMW 'This is a great power bank for when you're not in your car or out of the house.' View post: Walmart Is Selling a 'Powerful' $50 Solar Charger for $17, and Shoppers Say It's 'Useful for Outdoor Activities' Shopping for a small SUV but don't need something new? Here is why shopping for an older Honda CR-V could be smarter than buying a new one. Expect a fat bill for some of these options At Bentley, the sense that you are purchasing an extraordinary automobile begins long before you get behind the wheel. The British ultra-luxury marque's Mulliner Personal Commissioning Guide offers a level of customization potential that the average Honda, Toyota, or even Mercedes-Benz driver can only dream about, and now Bentley has introduced a decadent new range of finishes and colors. These new commissioning options come just a month after the Mulliner division showed off a Bentayga finished in Candy Pink. A Quarter Of All Bentleys Feature Mulliner Content Bentley's continuous additions to the Mulliner division should come as no surprise, since one in four new Bentleys now feature Mulliner content of some kind. It's a demographic that takes great pride in creating a bespoke vehicle—and it helps when money is no object, too, while the rest of us mull over whether a $1,500 sunroof is worth it. Whether you prefer a luxury or sporty look, Mulliner has introduced new open pore wood veneers, high-gloss piano veneers to match the exterior or interior leather, and carbon fiber with a choice of four tints. It's the attention to detail that sets the Mulliner division apart. Take the open pore wood veneer, for instance, which has an ultra-thin matt lacquer. Since it has 90% less lacquer than high-gloss wood, the natural grain and texture of the wood can be fully appreciated. And, while carbon fiber normally has a black/grey finish, the new Mulliner color options include Damson, Imperial Blue, Cumbrian Green, and Kingfisher Blue. The finishing touch inside a customized Bentley is a hand-painted pinstripe running the full length of the fascia and into the door waistrails; it can be matched to either the exterior paint or the leather. Front Consoles With Luxury Yacht-Inspired Finishes The new Mulliner collection also includes a front console with a pinstriped veneer with either straight or chevron patterns. Bentley says this look was inspired by the decking of luxury yachts. Alternatively, there is a new technical metal finish called Wave for the center console. Its pattern of intertwined ribbons creates a repeating wave effect as it catches the light. Another addition is for the anodized speaker grilles for the Bang & Olufsen for Bentley audio systems. There are eight speaker grille colors, including three new ones: Kingfisher, Pillar Box Red, and Mandarin. Source: Bentley One particularly expensive-sounding option is 18k gold 'organ stop' air vent controls. These have a tactile knurled finish. Finally, new Tweed door inserts with a choice of five patterns—Cheltenham, Glen Plaid, Charcoal Herringbone, Sand Herringbone, and Damson—round out the latest updates from Mulliner. These finishes are available for the Continental GT coupe, Flying Spur sedan, and Bentayga SUV, so whatever your choice of Bentley, you have access to the latest Mulliner collection. Although Rolls-Royce is still believed by many to be the creator of the world's finest luxury cars, our recent analysis of both brands indicates that, at least as a business, Bentley has surpassed its great rival. Both offer well-heeled clients an unparalleled luxury experience, though, and the ability to configure a completely unique vehicle is a large part of that. About the Author Karl Furlong View Profile

Primark unveils new mannequins to represent wheelchair users

The retailer has unveiled its first seated mannequin designed to represent a manual wheelchair user. Named 'Sophie', the mannequin was inspired by and co-created with British TV presenter, disability advocate and wheelchair user, Sophie Morgan. It will initially launch in 22 flagship stores across nine countries, including UK stores like Oxford Street East, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and Leeds. A post shared by Primark (@primark) 'Sophie' will take centre stage in displays showcasing Primark's Adaptive range, which is a fashion collection designed specifically for those with disabilities, alongside its main fashion ranges. Ann-Marie Cregan, trading director at Primark, said: 'This is another important milestone in our ambition to make Primark a more accessible place to shop and work. "From introducing a wider range of mannequins to launching our Adaptive clothing range earlier this year, we've worked hard to better represent the diverse communities who shop with us. "Seeing the 'Sophie' mannequin in our stores is a proud moment and a reflection of the brilliant collaboration between our teams and Sophie.' Sophie Morgan, co-creator of the mannequin, said: 'This project is incredibly close to my heart - it's been over 15 years in the making. Sophie Morgan with the new Primark mannequin (Image: Primark) "To now walk into a major high street retailer like Primark and see a mannequin that looks like me is deeply emotional.
