Hungry shoppers will need to move fast to claim theirs before the offer runs out.
Subway is handing out free 6-inch Meatbäll Marinara Subs at its Oxford Street branch, launching a cheeky “battle of the balls” aimed at welcoming its new Swedish neighbour.
This playful promotion pits Subway’s famous meatball subs against IKEA’s iconic Swedish meatballs, with Subway boldly claiming they have “the bigger balls.”
The giveaway comes with IKEA-inspired assembly instructions showing how Subway’s Meatbäll Marinara is “built,” adding a fun twist for shoppers already in town for furniture bargains.
Oxford Street, one of Europe’s busiest shopping destinations, is now home to both brands, and Subway is seizing the chance to remind everyone who the true meatball masters are.
Kirstey Elston, Subway’s UK marketing director, said: “Since we’re both experts in the meatball game, we couldn’t resist getting involved in the excitement of IKEA landing in the heart of London.
“What better way to welcome our new neighbours while also reminding hungry shoppers who the true meatball masters are!”
The Oxford Street giveaway runs for one day only, Thursday 1st May.
Vouchers can be picked up at the Subway store and redeemed for a free 6-inch Meatbäll Marinara Sub, but only while supplies last.
How to eat for cheap
Eating out can burn a hole in your budget, says Sun Savers editor Lana Clements, but there are a few tricks to get a meal for less.
SECRET EATS: Mystery diners can get a free meal in exchange for giving feedback on their experience.
There are a number of firms that recruit people to dine and review.
You need to sign up to one that will give you a location and a brief on what to asses on the visit.
Try Hgem, which works with restaurants including Dishoom, Flat Iron and Brewdog.
Normally, you pay for the food and then get reimbursed for your visit. Apply at mysterydining.net.
Service Scan works with fast food outlets as well as top-end gourmet establishments. See service-scan.com.
LEARNERS: You can get cut-price food by sampling menus from trainee chefs. Catering colleges often have restaurants with delicious meals that are whipped up by students.
They are usually only open in term time and you will have to dig around to find your nearest venue.
For example, The Stables Restaurant is part of Oaklands College in Hertfordshire. Or you could try the Scholars Restaurant at City of Glasgow College.
DO IT FOR THE KIDS: During the holidays, numerous chains run kids-eat-free or cheap offers that cut the cost of going out as a family.
For example previous offers have seen up to two children get a free meal all day at Bills when one adult ordered a main dish. The kids’ menu includes mac and cheese, as well as fish fingers and chips.
At Subway, children got a 4in sub, snack and drink for free when an adult bought a foot-long sub.
