Honest Burgers is planning ‘pay what you like’ giveaway in Manchester

Honest Burgers will be letting customers pay what they want for their meal, after naming Manchester the most honest city in the UK.

The offer will be happening on Monday (February 21), and is being dubbed ‘Honesty Box Day’.

Customers at the burger spot, on Bridge Street, will be able to eat between 11.30am and 4.30pm, and pay as much or as little as they like for their meal.

There’s a catch though - but it’s a nice one.

All the proceeds from the honesty box will be going to the charity Two Brews, which helps the homeless communities of Manchester and Salford.

It provides pop-up ‘shop’ locations where the homeless can get supplies like toothbrushes, sleeping bags, toiletries and food.

Honest Burgers Manchester boss Faye Saunders said: “We might have guessed that our Manchester customers would bring this title home. We love our city for its straight-talking residents who are never shy to tell us what they think.

“Our Honesty Box Day will be going towards a great cause too, raising funds for Two Brews – a homegrown local outreach charity helping the homeless communities of Manchester and Salford seven days a week. 100% of our Honesty Box Day takings will go to the charity.”

The burger chain collected data from 1500 people across the UK, and found that Mancs were the most honest of the lot.

200 replied in the survey, and detailed instances when they’d been too honest.

Said one: “After thinking I had lost the sense of taste & smell whilst I had covid, I had a McDonald’s the next day and realised it was just because mum's pasta was flavourless. Sorry mum…”.

Added another: “That time I didn't tell my boyfriend that the first meal he cooked for me wasn't veggie... (lifelong vegetarian here!).”
