Mexican food fans flocked to the city centre this lunchtime for the chance to grab a free dish.

To celebrate its opening in White Lion Street tomorrow, Tortilla gave away free burritos between midday and 1.30pm today.

Long queues formed outside the venue, spanning from the former Greggs premises to beyond Primark.

Staff said they expected to dish out at least 250 burritos and had received two weeks of training before the launch to prepare.

Chicken, pork, beef, veggie chilli and grilled vegetables are on offer as fillings, with smashed guacamole, chipotle cheese sauce, caramelised chorizo or double protein being optional add-ons.

Ellie Reed who stopped to grab a burrito on her lunch break said: "I was really surprised to see so many people queuing up.

"The food was really good so I'll definitely be returning."

City worker Eddie Harrison added: "There was a really good atmosphere today - the food and service were great so I hope it does well."

Tortilla will also be available on Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats.
