Newcastle restaurant offers free lunch to Borussia Dortmund fans ahead of Newcastle United clash

A Newcastle kebab shop is offering free kebabs to the first 100 people to show a German Passport in their restaurant ahead of Newcastle United’s Champions League clash with Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund.

German Doner Kebab (GDK) believes a love of kebabs connects both Germans and Geordies and so is offering a free lunch to Newcastle’s new arrivals.

The offer will run between 11am-4pm on October 25th for all dine-in and takeaway orders as the gourmet kebab brand presents an opportunity for travelling and resident Germans to taste a Doner Kebab which GDK claims is better than the ones they will taste at home.

Dr Thorsk Westphal, GDK’s Global CMO, said: “We are delighted to see UEFA Champions League football back at St James’ Park and see the buzz in the city ahead of the game against Borussia Dortmund.

“Ahead of the match, we are keen to recognise and celebrate the shared love of Doner Kebabs that exists within Newcastle and Germany.

“The modern doner kebab was created in Germany, and football in England, so it seems only right that we honour this momentous game in our own unique GDK way.

“Being German, I love my football and my kebabs and invite my fellow countrymen to try our kebabs that have been revolutionising the UK.

“We hope GDK Newcastle can be a fan-zone for both sets of supporters on matchday to meet, talk football and enjoy our game-changing kebabs.”
