Boojum, home of the most gigantic burritos in Leeds, will be giving away 500 free meals – and you’ve got the England football team to thank for it.
It was announced last week by Boojum that your possibility of a free lunch was riding on the success of England against Ireland in the UEFA Nations League last Saturday 7 September.
The Irish-born takeaway Boojum were so confident in their home nation’s victory, that they were willing to bet 500 burritos on it.
They wrote in the post: “We’re officially backing the boys in green when Ireland face England in Dublin this Saturday.
“We’re confident we’ll be bagging the bragging rights post-match and – to show just how confident we are – we’ll put our money where our mouth is and offer up 500 FREE burritos in Leeds on the off chance England take the win!”
Boojum head of marketing, Paul McCullagh, said: “The Irish love a good punt and a bit of craic. What better way to add even more excitement to this highly anticipated game than to bet 500 burritos on it!
“It’s been almost a decade since the two teams met in Dublin, so it will be great to have the bragging rights in the bag once Ireland do the business.

“Of course, it’s all just a bit of fun. We’re located on both sides of the Irish Sea and absolutely love Leeds, the people and our new store on Merrion St., with big plans to open more GB stores in the coming months.”
And in a surprising turn of events, England took home the victory with a final score of 2-0.
So that means this Wednesday 11 September, Boojum will be giving away 500 free burritos from 11:30am.
