In Edinburgh, Bar Soba on Hanover Street have proclaimed that this is National Treat Your Friend to Lunch Month.
You order a starter, they will pay for your friend’s starter. Order a main course and they will stand your friend a main course.
Obviously, you need to be lunching with your chum at the time. Whichever way you look at it, it all adds up to an enticing 2-4-1 offer.
Tempted? The offer is valid Monday-Friday, noon-4pm, up to and including 30th April.
Diners must choose from the express lunch menu – no-one wants you getting back to the office late.
We like the look of the Thai sticky pork ribs to start and then the Dirty Bangkok Burger for a main course.
A 22 day-aged beef patty with chilli, lemongrass, coriander and chilli sounds to us like the lunch of kings.
