Graduation may be off, but wagamama is helping students kick start their summer of celebrations by hosting a katsu curry giveaway.

The huge giveaway is to celebrate the achievement of graduates who have spent the majority of their university education in some form of lockdown restriction due to the pandemic.

As the past 18 months haven’t been easy for students with graduation ceremonies cancelled or postponed up and down the country, wagamama has decided to host the two day katsu giveaway from today (22nd July) until 22nd July at selected locations across the UK as a way of saying ‘con-katsu-lations’ - get it?

If you want to bag yourself a free dinner, the pan Asian restaurant will be offering the first 20 students through the doors a katsu (40 in total across the two days) - all you need to do is prove you’re a student, simple.

The delicious katsu curry is the most popular dish at the pan Asian restaurant - and for good reason

Talking about the katsu giveaway Sita Dobbs, Senior Regional Marketing Manager, said: “We know students have had a particularly tough time this last year, with lockdowns and virtual learning, student mental health has suffered.

We worked with student mental health ambassador Ben West to bring all important open and honest conversations to our social channels, inviting student voices to talk through their thoughts and apprehensions in our Conversations off Campus instagram series, which can be streamed on our wagamama_uk channel. We want to continue celebrating our student’s achievements across 2021 and beyond and we can’t wait to welcome our lucky students in for a katsu this week!”

The katsu curry has been on the wagamama menu with the same recipe since the brand launched in 1992 and over the decades, it's not hard to see why the delicious curry has become the most popular dish at the restaurant.

Now, it wouldn't be a celebration without some drinks and Tesco has brought back its 25% off six bottles of wine offer for a limited time only.

The offer is the perfect opportunity to stock up on your favourite booze from popular favourites like Barefoot and Yellow Tail to special celebrity wines such as the Kylie Minogue red, white and rosé and Post Malone’s new Maison No. 9 Rosé
