Wagamama senior brand manager Max Simons-Dukes said: ‘We know the current climate is challenging for young people, which is why we have made the decision to open the virtual doors of the noodle union to now include apprentices too.

‘At Wagamama, we want everyone to feel included, so the noodle union offers a safe and inclusive space where students, apprentices and Wagamama can come together to feel supported, whilst reaping the benefits of giveaways, content, and competitions.’

Students and apprentices can claim side dishes including gyozas, bang bang cauliflower, edamame, wok fried greens or sticky miso corn when they order a main dish. Also included are drinks such as ginger no-jito, cherry blossom lemonade or a small bottle of Asahi.
