Frankie and Benny's visit Edinburgh University to give students 1000 free hotdogs

Edinburgh students are in for a treat next week when Frankie and Benny's give away 1000 hotdog to students.

The restaurant chain will visit Scotland next week on Monday March 7 and 8.

Frankie and Benny's were at various other instructions across England in the month of January as part of their university tour.

They handed out 4000 free hotdogs and are now moving onto the second phase of their tour, at Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland.

A vendor for the Italian/American diner chain will be at Edinburgh University on March 8 handing out free dogs.

Frankie and Benny's say that their hero of the whole tour has been the famous ‘Vegan Dog’, a new vegan option on the Frankie & Benny’s menu and one that is proving very popular with vegans and non-vegans alike.

The plant-based hotdog is served on a soft glazed roll, with fried onions, gherkins, fiery chillies, BBQ sauce and delicious vegan mayo.

Gabby Barysaite, Senior Brand Manager, Frankie & Benny’s, said: “Our recent ‘Vegan Hotdog University Tour’ has proved to be such a hit, and with such positive feedback from students across the country, it’s a programme that we’re committed to continuing – with a focus on universities in Scotland and Wales.”

She continued: “We pride ourselves on our vegan and vegetarian menus and as a company it’s something that we’re always looking to adapt and update. We hope that some of the students that tried our vegan hotdogs at their universities were suitably impressed and will look to plan a trip to their nearest restaurant soon.”
