Lifetime kebab supply among perks of teen's overnight fame
The Guardian|January 05, 2024
Luke Littler's fondness for a doner has ensured a roaring trade at his local takeaway but now the teenage darts sensation will never need to put his hand in his pocket after being offered free kebabs for life at Warrington's Hot Spot.

Lifetime kebab supply among perks of teen's overnight fame

The owners have already named Littler's regular kebab wrap of doner meat, lettuce, onions and mayonnaise after him. 

"Whenever he comes back to Warrington, he tends to order the 'Luke The Nuke Wrap'," said the manager Hamido, who prefers not to use his surname, and also runs a barber's shop.

"We just call it the 'Luke Wrap' because we're so used to making it for him. It's every day, or most days, when he's at home and not abroad competing. He's a top lad and hopefully he'll be coming back for some free haircuts and kebabs. That's free for life, no doubt. We've said from day one, he's going to be a world champion and he still will be."
