German Doner Kebab to host special lunch ahead of Man City’s Champions League match against RB Leipzig

Takeaway shop German Doner Kebab is hosting a special lunch ahead of Man City’s Champions League match. City take on RB Leipzig at the Etihad Stadium today, and the takeaway is hoping the lunch will welcome Germans both Manc based and from overseas. 

The kebab chain believes that there is a love of their dish from both Mancunians and Germans. In efforts to find common ground, it is hosting a lunch which will include a special offer. 

If you show a German passport at the eatery on Oxford Road, you’ll be able to get an OG Kebab for free. This offer is open to the first 100 people through the door. 

The offer will run between 11am - 5pm today 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 Etihad Stadium and see the buzz in the city ahead of the game against RB Leipzig. Ahead of the match, we are keen to recognise and celebrate the shared love of Doner Kebabs that exists within Manchester 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 Manchester Oxford Road can be a fan-zone for both sets of supporters on matchday to meet, talk football and enjoy our game-changing kebabs.”
