A Glasgow bar is serving up a special burger in honour of Kevin Bridges, while raising money for a Scottish mental health charity.
Coinciding with his sold-out run at the OVO Hydro, the Kevin Bridges burger created by Lebowskis includes cheddar, haggis, black pudding, bacon and Buckfast glaze served with fries and ‘hoose rice’. The special will be on offer throughout September.
£1 from each burger ordered will go to Brothers In Arms, a charity supporting men’s mental health. They’re also offering ‘hoose rice’ with all burgers throughout the month, also with £1 from each rice sold heading straight to the charity.

Lebowskis owner, Graham Suttle, said: “Mental health in general has been a huge part of our focus at Lebowskis for a long time.
“It seemed only fitting to support such an amazing charity, using the humour and reach that someone like Kevin Bridges has, especially in his hometown. I hope people get behind us and the hoose rice to drive support and awareness of the unimaginable pressures that have led to an unprecedented majority of suicides and mental health issues being experienced by men and boys across the country.
“Guys need to remember it’s okay to talk, and the new app from Brothers in Arms is an amazing tool to use.”
Brothers In Arms describe its services on the website. They say: “We are a self-referring service where you can access our support without going to a GP, with no pressure to talk if you don’t want to.
“Everything on the Brothers in Arms website is curated to inform, educate and support male mental health. Self-management tools and qualified therapy are delivered digitally - so that you learn how to self-manage your own wellbeing that is private, anonymous, confidential, and free.”
