Runners crossing the finish line of the London Marathon this year have more than just a medal to look forward to. French-inspired dining chain Côte Brasserie is rewarding participants with a free burger and its signature free-flowing frites to help refuel after completing the iconic 26.2-mile race.
The exclusive offer is available on race day (Sunday 26 April) and the following day (Monday 27 April), giving finishers a chance to celebrate immediately or recover in style.
How to Claim Your Free Côte Burger
Redeeming the offer is simple. Marathon finishers just need to present their medal at any Côte Brasserie location across the UK. The complimentary meal—typically priced at £17.50—includes one of the restaurant’s popular burgers served with unlimited frites.
There is one condition: runners must dine with at least one guest who orders a main dish or set menu. Full details can be found on the official Côte Brasserie website.
What’s on the Menu?
Participants can choose between two standout options:
- Côte Burger – A hand-pressed beef patty topped with melted Camembert
- Fable Burger – A plant-based alternative made with a mushroom patty
Both burgers are served in a brioche bun with truffle mayo, caramelised red onions and pickles, alongside Côte’s famous free-flowing frites—making it an ideal post-run indulgence.
Prime Locations Along the Marathon Route
With over ten London locations, Côte Brasserie is perfectly positioned for marathon day. Restaurants at St Katharine Docks, Hays Galleria, and Royal Festival Hall sit directly along the race route, while Blackheath is just moments from the starting line.
These spots make ideal meeting points for runners, friends, and supporters looking to soak up the atmosphere.
Spectator-Friendly To-Go Menu
It’s not just runners who benefit. Côte is also catering to spectators with a special takeaway menu, including breakfast baguettes, pastries, filled croissants, and a range of hot and iced drinks.
For those looking to elevate their viewing experience, select locations will offer a £5 “Fizz & Frites” package to-go—an upscale alternative to the traditional marathon-day pint.
A Reward Worth the Finish Line
A spokesperson for Côte Brasserie said the initiative is all about celebrating achievement: completing the London Marathon is no small feat, and this offer is designed to recognise that effort with something genuinely satisfying.
With more than 60 brasseries nationwide—including 12 in London—Côte continues to bring French-inspired dining to high streets across the UK, and this limited-time marathon reward is a fitting way to mark one of the capital’s biggest sporting events.
