Hart’s -Jamie’s Italian – Pit & Pendulum – Cock & Hoop – Malt Cross –

This will be funded by Nottingham Business Improvement District (BID) and the initiative will get underway on Monday (May 21).

Prizes are also up for grabs

There will be competitions throughout the Nottingham Big Lunch week. People will be encouraged to post images of their lunch on social media.  Prizes are to be awarded each day to the venue and the person whose photo wins.

“So many people just don’t leave their desk at lunchtime, let alone the buildings they work in”. Said Richard Johal, who is a director of Nottingham BID.

The free lunch is available to staff who work at businesses that are BID members. This includes companies such as E.ON, CPMG, Maber, Frankin Ellis, Arup, Buckles and Adtrack.
