A new Mexican eatery opening in Nottingham city centre is giving away hundreds of free burritos to celebrate its opening day. Boojum is opening its doors on Lower Parliament Street on Friday, September 20, bringing award-winning burritos, nachos and tacos.

To mark the opening of the brand's eighteenth outlet, Boojum is giving away 300 free burritos from 12pm onwards, giving people a taste of its 'bold style and flavours'. The new restaurant is located in the unit of a former homeware store, between Lloyds bank and fast food restaurant Jollibee.

Boojum Head of Operations, Rob Powell, said: "Following our huge Leeds opening earlier this year, we're very excited to announce the launch date of our Nottingham restaurant. Our team has been working hard over the last few months to create our new space and we can’t wait to welcome our first customers.

"To celebrate we will be handing out free burritos to the first 300 diners through the doors from 12pm, so we’d advise customers to get there early to make sure you don’t miss out. We will also be offering a multi-channel experience with our loyalty scheme and order ahead on the Boojum app and delivery available on all the major delivery platforms."

The brand was established in 2007 in Belfast and now has 18 locations across Ireland and the UK. The Nottingham restaurant is only the second in mainland UK, following the opening of a branch in Leeds in April.

The brand has ambitious expansion plans and expects to open 25 new restaurants over the next five years.
