-Restaurant extends its noodle union to include apprentices-
wagamama is excited to announce that it is offering a free drink and side on the house, when any member of its noodle union buys a main course from wagamama at all locations across the UK from now until 28th March on Monday and Tuesday each week.
It is also extending membership of the noodle union to apprentices who can now sign-up and benefit from it.

The latest announcement comes from a self-proclaimed wagamama super-fan and President of the noodle union, Niko may have missed out on becoming the London Mayor, but remains the gallant leader and has now allocated his noodle union budget forecast for 2023. His mission is simple – to give noodle union members access to unique experiences, bowlfuls of content, and exciting wagamama meet-ups.
22 of its restaurants will have space for 25 students at a time, on a first come first served basis, where they can make use of wagamama’s hub to study and enjoy some time away from the pressures of ongoing strikes and feelings of loneliness. Each student will be eligible to redeem a free side and drink with the purchase of a main meal, and the first 10 students to arrive each day will receive a student care package filled with exclusive wagamama merch.

Max Simons-Dukes, Senior Brand Manager at wagamama says: “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.”
wagamama noodle union President, Niko Omilana says: “Just when you thought this President has reached the highest heights of greatness, here I return with an announcement that we are opening the noodle union to apprentices. The young people of this country need noodle nourishment from bowl to soul and I am on a mission with wagamama to give that to students and apprentices across the UK. There is so much more to come so watch this space, and keep an eye out for me in a wagamama near you.”
To celebrate all things nourishment and noodles, Niko has also coined a new day in the student calendar as he will be announcing a big moment for 28th March, where members of the noodle union will be invited to head down to their nearest wagamama restaurant for the greatest giveaway the noodle union has seen so far, dubbed the ramen rush. Niko has made a special appearance at wagamama in Camden, London on the 13th. The next phase of Niko’s presidency will come to light as he unveils his noodle union presidential plans via Instagram and TikTok, so watch this space…
