Nespresso launches its Unforgettable Mediterranean Summer collection with refreshing iced coffee drinks — starring a new limited-edition flavour — and exquisitely designed accessories.

Prize 3 – Lunch for 2 people in Hawksmoor Dublin
Prize includes: 3 course lunch for 2 people in Hawksmoor Dublin
Hawksmoor has been doing better than ever since opening their first Dublin location last year. Offering great steak with the best quality Irish beef, it’s been a welcome addition to the Dublin restaurant scene.
They have launched a handful of new lunch specials, taking your work lunch breaks to the next level. These new specials take inspiration from all over the world, from 3-starred Michelin restaurants to Renaissance Italy.
Hawksmoor started in 2006, when two childhood friends, Will Beckett and Huw Gott, opened a restaurant serving steaks from traditionally-reared cattle and sustainably sourced seafood alongside a progressive cocktail programme in a then-unfashionable part of East London. It has become a favourite across the UK and New York and ranked Number 1 in Ireland and 12th Globally in 2024. Hawksmoor is also widely considered one of the most admired companies in the restaurant industry, with numerous awards to its name, a certification as one of the best employers in the UK, and as a B Corporation – a global kite mark of the highest level of integrity.

Prize 4 – €100 voucher for Brickyard Dundrum
Prize includes: €100 to spend at Brickyard in Dundrum
The Dundrum Gastropub, Brickyard, has long been securely positioned as the much-loved local favourite due to their stellar food and drink offering and personal service.

Along with these classics, the menu includes a diverse selection of international cuisine with Mexican, Indian, Thai, and Italian influences.
Dinner is available seven days a week, and brunch is served every weekend. The beer menu, as ever, is mostly rotational, with a couple of stalwarts remaining unchanged, and the team have got some new beers tapped up. The cocktail menu has seen an update too, but again, retaining the favourites for all long-term-devotees.
