It is generally believed there is no such thing as a free lunch but, if you are visiting Carluccio’s, there is going to be a free breakfast – if you are wearing your dressing gown.

The breakfast giveaway takes place on Saturday March 31 at the Italian eatery in Swindon’s Designer Outlet Centre. Turn up before 11am in your dressing gown and enjoy one free breakfast dish, as an introduction to the restaurant group’s new breakfast menu. But make sure you set your alarm as once the restaurant is full, it’s full. As the saying goes, it is the early bird that gets the pancetta and panettone.

Carluccio’s new breakfast dishes include an extended Magnifica range of cooked breakfasts, with vegetarian and vegan options. The veggie Magnifica is a plate laden with eggs, courgette fritters, sautéed mushrooms, tomatoes and toasted ciabatta, whilst the vegan Magifica features baked borlotti beans, summer squash, tomatoes, spinach and toasted ciabatta.

The Magnifica Tradizionale is made up of eggs with grilled smoky pancetta, sausage, sautéed mushrooms, tomato and toasted ciabatta.

Injecting a burst of Italian flavour to your meal, Eggs Diavlo consists fried eggs with tomato, spicy ‘Nduja, parmigano reggiano and toasted ciabatta, which will add a kick to your morning. French toast is given an Italian touch by using panettone, ricotta and yoghurt, berries, honey and cinnamon. New cold press juices have also been introduced, including a fresh mix of apple, spinach, kale and lemon as well as carrot, orange, apple and turmeric.
