Deliveroo is giving away free food to mark the end of Neighbours – but only to a specific address

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 27th July 2022

Deliveroo has decided to give away free food to Brits to pay tribute to hit Australian soap Neighbours.

The beloved show will air its grand finale this Friday, and the delivery platform said it wants to pay homage with a free meal.

But there is, of course, a catch – you can only nab yourself a free dinner if you live at a very specific address.

Anyone who lives on a Ramsay Street, the iconic address of Neighbours, will be able to apply for free Deliveroo credit.

A new Shrek-themed cafe has opened at Primark in Manchester

There’s a new Shrek-themed cafe in Manchester city centre – and Donkey’s prayers for waffles have finally been answered by none other than clothing retailer Primark. 

The back corner of the bargain fashion store on Market Street has been taken over by vines and fairytale characters as Shrek comes to town.

The cafe has been home to many iconic brands since its launch, one of the most notable being its 2019 debut as Central Perk, the go-to coffee hot-spot from TV Series Friends. 

Shrek himself will also be paying a visit to the store in the coming weeks to sample some of the delicious delights customers can try such as nachos, waffles, shakes and bubble teas – each one with an ogre twist (yes, that is green cheese you see). 

The Cafe is Shrek-ogeddon from head to toe with the menu paying homage to some familiar faces from the franchise. 

Shoppers can indulge in ‘Fairy Godmother’s Potions’ which are a selection of sweet fruity concoctions, or treat your tastebuds to some Swampchos or Toastie ‘Slabs’, which are more appetising than they sound.

After all those scrumptious snacks you’ll definitely be saying ‘I Need A Hero’ as you face your own battle – the dreaded food coma.

The Shrek Far Far Away Cafe will be a Manchester mainstay til the beginning of November, giving everyone the opportunity to have their happy ever after. 

There’s also a handful of Shrek merchandise available storewide that fans and customers alike can get their hands on all-year-round.

Tim Kelly, director of new business development at Primark said: “We’ve gone Far, Far Away to find the inspiration for our latest cafe theme, bringing all the fun in the kingdom to our Primark cafes”. 

“Our revolving themes have been so popular with our customers, giving them more reasons to visit their local store. We can’t wait to welcome fans to the cafes and hope they enjoy our limited-edition menu fit for a fairytale!”

And if that wasn’t enough to whet your appetite, fans of the iconic film franchise have just over two years to wait until Shrek 5 debuts in theatres on 1 July 2026.

You can visit the Shrek Cafe at Primark on Market Street and at the Trafford Centre in Manchester now.
