The British meal deal is a popular lunchtime promotion offering a sandwich, snack, and drink, and Uber Eats' Sandwich Studio is serving elevated takes on this combo as part of a pop-up experience. The attention-grabbing pop-up takes the form of a 10-foot green delivery bag, and invites people in the UK to stop by and pick up a replenishing bite at “a nostalgic £3” price—or £2 for Uber One members.
On the menu, there are gourmet options like the Coronation Lobster, paired with tomato crisps and sparkling lemonade, or the Cheese & Honion (feta, hot habanero honey, caramelized onions, mayonnaise and crispy shallots) plus sour cream crisps and herbaceous basil lemonade.
Sandwich Studio launched as an extension of Uber Eats' When You’ve Done Enough platform, which celebrates moments of relaxation and downtime.
