Get ready to keep your eyes very peeled — The Real Greek is launching a UK-wide aubergine hunt this November, sending Brits on a cheeky treasure chase for the chance to win free Greek food… for life.
To celebrate the launch of its brand-new Smoky Aubergine Souvlaki Grill and refreshed winter menu, The Real Greek will be hiding hundreds of aubergines across the country. From 19th–25th November, one aubergine will be hidden every single day within a half-mile radius of each of the brand’s 28 restaurants.
Find an aubergine with an official tag, take it to your nearest The Real Greek, and you’ll swap it for a free Aubergine Grill Plate — featuring their new Smoky Aubergine dish, served hot, fresh and on the house.
But the real prize?
A golden aubergine, hidden somewhere in the UK, unlocking the ultimate reward:
Greek food for life. One free aubergine dish every week, forever. Yes — forever.
A hero of Greek cuisine, the humble aubergine takes centre stage in everything from baked classics like moussaka to grilled mezze favourites. The Real Greek’s new Smoky Aubergine celebrates the ingredient with a modern twist — rich, smoky, flame-grilled goodness (and available as a vegan option too).
The launch follows the brand’s wider menu refresh, featuring new dishes such as Pork & Date Stew, Beef Stifado, Vegan Moussaka, and the new Pork Gyros Souvlaki Wrap, all designed to bring a little more sunshine to British evenings.
With aubergines appearing everywhere from city centres to seaside promenades, the hunt is officially on. Grab your mates, get clue-hunting, and keep an eye out — because one very special aubergine could change your lunch plans forever.
The Nationwide Aubergine Hunt runs 19th–25th November 2025. Clues will drop daily on @therealgreekuk.
