Portsmouth restaurant part of global campaign to give away free food that looks like moon

On May 4 Taco Bell is giving away free tacos across the UK at all 55 of its restaurants – including at its Commercial Road fast-food venue in Portsmouth

The firm is offering free tacos all day as part of its global promotion on the day when the moon will enter a new lunar phase.

Taco Bell suggests the quarter moon looks like a taco and has decided to celebrate this galactic moment by giving away free tacos.

Gino Casciani, general manager at Taco Bell UK and Europe, said: ‘Grab your binoculars, dust off your telescope, or just stick your head out of the window and look up. Anyone lucky enough to catch the giant silver taco in the sky will score a free taco the following day. Easy.’

He added: ‘We’re excited to kick-off Taco Bell’s first ever global campaign, using the world’s biggest billboard as our storyteller - the moon. Once people see the moon as a taco, they’ll find it hard to see it any other way again.

‘In fact, we’re transforming iconic sites across the UK into tacos to celebrate the nationwide and global giveaway including the London Eye. We hope that Brits fall in love with our iconic crunchy tacos and can’t wait to welcome tacos fans through our doors on May 4.’
