A popular independent Indian street food brand is giving 10 hungry fans the chance to win free lunches for a year
It’s been 10 years since the first Rola Wala opened its doors in the UK, and to properly mark this decade-long anniversary, the brand will be celebrating its commitment to bringing authentic Indian flavours to foodies across Manchester with a massive giveaway.
Kicking off from the brand’s official birthday tomorrow (12 November), and running until Tuesday 26 November, 10 coveted ‘black cards’ will be up for grabs.
Following the huge success of its launch on Deansgate in our city last year, 10 winners will get to tuck into the brand’s special naan rolls for an entire year – with every person entering also receiving an exclusive discount on their next visit too.
Unfamiliar with Rola Wala? The brand’s ‘build-your-own’ concept allows diners to choose their own filling, and combine them perfectly with fresh salads, herbs, pickles, and chutney, while also pairing that with a range of unmissable sides – including crispy masala fries, Rola rings, cookies, and more.

Rola Wala founder, Mark Wright, described the past 10 years as “a flavour-packed journey”, adding that it’s “far from over”.
“We’re really excited to be celebrating 10 years of Rola Wala by giving back to our communities in Manchester with this huge giveaway,” Mark explained.

“As we come into our second decade of business, we are entering a new era where we’re committed to combining our street food DNA with a vibey ‘fast hospitality’ food experience, driven by our passion and a relentless focus on quality service – shown by our launch in Manchester last year.”
Fancy being in with a chance of winning a ‘black card’ then?
To participate in the 10th anniversary celebrations, all you need to do is sign up for Rola Wala’s ‘Spice Club’ loyalty scheme from today until 26 November.
You can swap Christmas toys for FREE pizzas at any Rudy’s in Greater Manchester

In an all new partnership, trusted pizza maker Rudy’s, are running a new campaign offering free pizzas in return for new Christmas toys.
From Monday 2 December to Friday 6 December, these pizza masters are offering Mancs and pizza lovers who visit any of their branches the chance to get their hands on some free doughy goodness.
This is thanks to Rudy’s teaming up with Cash For Kids to bring gifts and joy to children in need this Christmastime.
There are currently three sites across the city centre, and plenty more in the suburbs, meaning pizza lovers don’t have to travel to far to donate a new Christmas toy in return for some free gorgeous grub.
Take a job off Mr. Claus’s plate while filling your own and help him load his sleigh this festive season by taking your toy to any Rudy’s location between 12pm and 5pm.
This new deal comes in collaboration with child-focused charity solely dedicated to improving the lives of kids in need and disadvantaged young people across the UK.
Alongside this unbelievable deal, their website has lots of other fantastic ways to donate to charity including their latest t-shirt sported by our two favourite cheeky jungle co-hosts Ant and Dec.
Titled ‘Swap Toys For Pizza Joy’ all the gifts brought into the pizza restaurants need to be sealed or unopened.
Rudy’s also request that these toys which diners bring into their various locations are suitable for all children aged between 5 and 12.
The Christmas tree as you enter the Peter Street site.Swap a toy for a pizza at Rudy’s.Look at all those gifts!
Not only is this offer ingenious, anyone who brings their toy in exchange for a pizza is helping make Christmas for a child in need that little more merrier.
This Christmas-inspired campaign is taking place at all Rudy’s branches from Monday 2 December to Friday 6 December and all you have to do is bring yourself… and a toy!
His post has generated a fair bit of reaction already, with one person replying: “Ridiculous advice! Loss of a table for 4 ! Empty tables for 2! Over ordered and over staffed, this stupidly from someone who should know better must corrected. Every customer counts in this day and age.”
Someone else wrote: “The amount of people booking 2 venues this year and cancelling is on the increase too!! We are now taking deposits for groups over 6 to try and eliminate this! When space is an issue booking more than you need is not fair on the venues!!”
Another commented: “A table of 3 is actually sat on a table for four. So you’re denying the business of 50% of its potential turnover. Do not do this.”
