New restaurant will launch with giveaway

A new burger restaurant due to open at the former Cafe Rouge site in Ealing Green is hoping to entice customers with freebie burgers.

Smokehouse restaurant group, Meat & Shake, will be giving away 1,000 free burgers to celebrate the opening on 15th and 16th August.

The 2,300 sq ft restaurant is the second for the business, its first is in Tooting, London, which opened late 2013. This one in Ealing will will cater for 100 covers.

The restaurant will be giving 500 free burgers on the opening day and a further 500 the following day.

Operating on a first-come, first-served basis, customers can eat in or takeaway a plain Jane burger – a classic burger made with 36-day aged minced beef from Hereford cows.

Meat & Shake’s new menu has been developed by executive chef Jasper Aykroyd, who draws from his experience in the curing and flavouring of meats. Dishes will include par-cured beef ribs, crab claws and prawns, and smoked chicken.

Alongside shakes such as peanut butter, brownie and banana, and salted caramel, there will also be a selection of mocktails, including a watermelon mojito and ginger peach fizz.

Meat & Shake is expected to launch a third branch in Watford in September.
