Win a Working Lunch at Blackfriars Restaurant

Bdaily is giving you the chance to win a one course lunch with a drink, for two people, at Newcastle Blackfriars Restaurant.

Blackfriars’ Working Lunch, which costs just £8 for an award-winning dish and drink, is designed around the busy executive with a speedy one course, complimentary WIFI, notes and pens plus free use of the meeting room when a minimum of six people book for lunch in advance.

You and three colleagues will have the choice of a superb lunch menu that includes North Sea fishcakes with wilted spinach and parsley sauce, Northumberland corned-beef Panacalty with seasonal vegetables, butternut and sage risotto or Roast chicken salad, roast squash broccoli, shoots and seeds.

With a hectic schedule there is a temptation to work behind the desk with a sandwich and 75% of workers in North East do just that. However going out to eat can help business people to gain perspective on difficult problems, boost creativity, build team morale and enhance business with clients or suppliers.

Ruth Hall, general manager of Blackfriars said: “We know that as a business person, there is little time to relax whilst in the work place but workers can be much more productive in a relaxed environment. Having lunch out of the office is good for business and we hope to facilitate this process with great food, atmosphere and service.

“In these tough economic times personalising your business can be the key to surviving. High-tech is hot but will never be able to take the place of strong, personal relationships.”

The deal usually costs £8 for a one course lunch and soft drink or £10 for a once course lunch or glass of house wine or beer.

For a chance to win the competition prize, answer the following question: Name one benefit of taking a working lunch?

Email your answers, along with name and address to enquiries@bdaily.co.uk. Competition closes 12pm September 12.
