A Liverpool burrito bar is rallying support from Mexican food fans as it gets set to dedicate a day of trade to a worthy cause.
From midday through to 10pm on Sunday 25 January, Smithdown Road’s Evil Eye Beer and Burrito Shack will reward diners with burritos for just £1 if they donate a £5 bag of shopping for Central Liverpool Foodbank.
Owners Andy Scott and Andy Cesar started spreading the word about their initiative via social media, and within just a few days it was already said to have received a “brilliant” response from customers who are keen to take part.
Donating diners are being asked to provide non-perishable items such as pasta, beans, biscuits, tuna fish, cereal, rice, sugar, tea, coffee and tinned vegetables for the cause which provides food to those in need around the city.
Andy Scott is already a supporter of the foodbank himself and says: “We’re serving a lot of food here and it’s so close to the community where a foodbank is serving thousands of people in the area who can’t eat.”
The organisers are hoping the drive for donations will particularly be of help during the post Christmas and New Year season when stock may now be running low.
Andy adds: “Our suppliers Little Pig Butchers and Hannah Foods, who also agreed to provide stock for a cheap cost so that we can afford to go ahead with the event.”
