Barburrito celebrates Freshers in style with FREE bedroom makeovers

Authentic Mexican street food eatery Barburrito is getting Fresher’s celebrations off to a stylish start by offering FREE bedroom makeovers worth over £1000!

To win a university bedroom makeover students are asked to post a photo of themselves on Instagram featuring any Barburrito logo and tag them @barburritouk by October 15.

The winners will be selected at random and will get a cool Barburrito branded bedroom makeover or a food drop to their dorm for up to ten people. The makeover is top secret but think Barburrito branded everything! From bed sheets to taco shaped neon lights and everything in between.

As well as the amazing makeover prize Barburrito has launched their own Food Van offering free Loaded Nachos, (students need to download the app to receive the offers), and games with other freebies to be won such as free tacos, free sides, free desserts. The Food Van will visit Manchester University on October 3, Nottingham University on October 4 and Edinburgh University on October 5.

For Manchester students, Barburrito will also be having some fun at The Trafford Centre, taking part in a student lock-in on the evening October 3 from 6pm, with free samples, games, drinks and a Mariachi band.

Students can bag the freebies and perks through Barburrito’s app including a £1 burrito exclusively for students that are new to the app by October 8, free burrito on their birthday, access to the Barburrito loyalty programme (collect 4 stamps for free side/dessert, collect 9 for free burrito) as well as students always getting 20% off everything!

And to kick off the Fresher’s celebrations there will be a DJ event at their Glasgow Queen Street store Friday September 29 from 7pm. Everyone is welcome where there will be games with prizes, free food and entertainment.

Sophie Green, the Marketing Manager of Barburrito, said: “As we eagerly anticipate the arrival of new students, we are thrilled to create vibrant and exciting activations featuring games and free food. We can’t wait to warmly welcome everyone and make their journey with us truly unforgettable!”  

Barburrito has just launched their exciting and innovative new menu influenced by some of Mexico’s most popular dishes.  

The menu features the introduction of Tortas, Tacos, a new range of salsas as well as lots of recipe improvements including their cheese sauce, guacamole, pink onions and many more. 

Introducing the first new dish, the Torta. A light, sweet bun is filled with all favourites (think Barbacoa Beef, Smoky Chipotle salsa, cheese, slaw, jalapeños and sour cream) – as you always choose the fillings at Barburrito. 

Another new addition to the menu is Tacos, bursting with authentic flavours. You create your own tacos by choosing what goes inside but think tender Pork Carnitas nestled in warm, soft tortillas, loaded with cheese, lettuce, pink onions and a new Mango & Habanero salsa. Each bite is a fiesta of flavours as they use fresh ingredients and traditional spices to create a truly unforgettable experience. 
 
Whether you’re a fan of classic favourites like Barburrito’s Grilled Chicken or adventurous enough to try their vegan This™ Isn’t Chicken, they’ve got something for everyone.    

Customers can download the app by searching ‘Barburrito Rewards’ on the app store, where they can get exclusive access to the student discount and the loyalty stamp cards. Getting three stamps just for downloading.

Health advice for freshers

Health advice for students from NHS 24

freshers1STUDENTS starting university and college this year are being advised to prepare ahead byNHS 24, Scotland’s national telehealth and telecare organisation.

NHS 24 Medical Director Professor George Crooks reminds students that there is a wealth of health advice and information available to them at the dedicated Freshers’ Health section at www.nhsinform.co.uk

He said: “Many students find themselves living away from home for the first time when they start university or college and I would urge them to use NHS inform for information on healthcare.

“During Freshers’ week, I would advise students to take the time to register with a GP in their new area. A number of universities have a dedicated GP practice for their students and for those that do not, you can search by postcode at NHS inform.
“For those students who use regular repeat prescriptions, make sure you take enough with you to last until you register with a GP and it is also a good idea to have a first aid kit and supply of pain relief with you.

“Setting up home on your own for the first time is a daunting, yet exciting experience. By preparing ahead and thinking about your health, students can make sure they make the most of it.”

For further health advice and information go to http://www.nhsinform.co.uk/Health-in-Focus/Campaigns/freshers-health

The popular health resource provides a wealth of advice and information on health issues relevant to young people as they embark on or continue their higher education years, including safety advice, what to pack and where to go for health care.

The Health A-Z is packed with information about common illness, treatments and health services, covering topics from acne to yellow fever. The Common Health Questions section includes areas dedicated to sexual health, women’s and men’s health and food safety. Users can also find out about local health services and information on how to register with a GP.
