Subway and Cadbury have teamed up to launch a six-inch sub sandwich filled with melted Creme Eggs for Easter.
With Easter celebrations fully underway, the fast food chain and the confectionary company have joined forces to launch the, rather bizarre, chocolate sandwich creation – named the SubMelt with Cadbury Creme Egg.
Just in time for Good Friday, and if you’re lucky, you could get your hands one of these limited-edition subs for free.
There’s a bit of a catch, though, as not only are there only 500 of the SubMelt with Cadbury Creme Egg being made, but they’re only available in a select few Subway branches.
The six-inch subs will be being handed out for free at four restaurants on 7 April (Good Friday) – Tottenham Court Road in London, Central Shopping Centre in Liverpool, Llansamlet Service Station in Swansea, and Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow.

So, how did the SubMelt with Cadbury Creme Egg actually come about then?
Well, we haven’t been given much background context, but what we do know is that Subway has admitted it came up with the idea and approached the iconic chocolate maker to make the collaboration happen.
“We’re delighted to have collaborated with Cadbury this Easter,” explains Rusty Warren – Senior New Product Development and Product Innovation Manager at Subway UK.
“Our Italian White Bread and Cadbury Creme Eggs make the most flavoursome combination, a perfect seasonal treat, and all the team at Subway are especially excited to see how those Subway fans with a sweet tooth respond to this delicious SubMelt.”
Cadbury says it “couldn’t resist” the chance to team up with Subway for the Easter creation.

“The highly-anticipated Creme Egg season is in full swing and we’re so excited to launch this innovative product with Subway as a final hoorah of the season,” added Charlotte Docker – Brand Executive for Cadbury Creme Egg.
“We can’t wait for the response of those lucky enough to try this surprisingly delicious merging of sweet and savoury.”
Each participating Subway branch will only have a limited number of the sandwiches chocked full of Cadbury’s beloved chocolate treat available.
Basically, you’ll need to be quick if you’re keen to try the creation before it goes.
An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.
The Leeds Supper Club bringing people together over incredible food
Clementine Hall
What started as a simple idea around food has grown into something much bigger for Leeds Supper Club.
The idea was born from a love of food and the idea that eating together can be about much more than what’s on your plate.
Rather than simply going out to a restaurant, Leeds Supper Club puts connection at the heart of its events, bringing people together to share incredible food and enjoy an evening in good company.
We had the pleasure of attending their most recent event where we had the most wonderful evening with founders Lizzie, Phillip and the rest of the club.

This instalment was a very special one, as it was in collaboration with Knotfield Vine over in Horsforth.
I mean, it really doesn't get more scenic than this - we really felt like we'd been whisked away to the South of France rather than a Leeds suburb. But we wouldn't want it either way.

What makes it a cut above the rest is the details. Every little detail has been thought out, from the low-lit, sexy lighting, hand-made name plates, live music and four courses of wonderful seasonal goodness made fresh.
From enjoying a glass of wine within the vines alongside a couple of nibbles to tucking into a three course meal around a candle-lit table, there's really nowhere else like it.

The tagliatelle pasta with beef and whipped feta was a real highlight, and knowing Lizzie and Philip receive help on the menu and the cooking from all their friends made it taste that much sweeter.
By the end of it we'd had some delicious food, fabulous wine and shared even better conversation. And it's safe to say we left feeling a part of the club.
Keep an eye on their Instagram page here for all upcoming events.
