Here’s how you can get FREE hangover food on Saturday

Laura Holland

Some of us will be needing this.

Let’s be realistic there will probably be one too many drinks consumed on St Patrick’s Day this year. Seeing as it falls on a Friday, it leaves a lot of time for overindulgence.

Well, if you happen to drink a few too many this year then Deliveroo are there to rescue you. They will be offering free, yes FREE, hangover food on Saturday.

Deliveroo is setting up a St Patrick’s Day Recovery Hotline this Saturday to lend a sympathetic ear to customers’ tales of mischief and woe.

Here’s how it will work:

You must tell the folks at Deliveroo your entertaining story from the night before and why you deserve the delicious hangover cure, and if chosen they will reward you with €15 free credit.

The Deliveroo St Patrick’s Day Recovery Hotline is freephone 1800 804 585 and lines are open from 10:30am – 1:30pm.

Here are the rules:

  • To avail of the credit you must have your email registered with Deliveroo.ie
  • Deliveries only to Deliveroo serviced areas – currently in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick & Belfast.
  • €15 credit will be rewarded at the discretion of the Deliveroo team manning the Hotline and can be redeemed that day.

Deliveroo spokesperson Joe Groves said:

“We all love a big day out on St. Patrick’s Day, and as it falls on a weekend this year, it’s likely that most of the celebrations will kick on long into the night. Last year, we saw a huge 128% spike in orders the day after St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland and we expect the same again this year.”

He added:

“We want to give those struggling from the previous night a chance to claim some free credit so they can order their ideal hangover cure from their favourite local restaurants. Setting up a St. Patrick’s Day Recovery Hotline is our way of providing a shoulder to cry on, and if they’ve got an engaging story, we’ll reward them with €15 Deliveroo credit that they can put towards a delicious pick-me-up meal and begin the hangover healing!”
