The idea came to me in October, a few weeks after I moved back to Manchester. Even though I had lived in Manchester before, I was still shocked by the number of people sleeping rough. I hadn't been in Manchester over the winter before and wasn't much looking forward to the bitter North cold that was sure to come. I couldn't even imagine sleeping out on a summer night up here, let alone in the blistering chill that was already showing signs of arrival. I'm sure I'm not the onl
The Abel Heywood in Manchester is one of the oldest pubs in Manchester. Situated just off Church Street, right in the heart of the Northern Quarter, the pub named after the Victorian mayor of Manchester has undergone a refurbishment to bring a boutique hotel, restaurant and pub to a thriving corner of the city centre. After being down in the dumps, my good friend Keeley took me for a hearty breakfast to try the new brunch menu on a gorgeous Saturday morning over the Bank Holi
After its successful debut in London last summer, the Bassano Bar has now opened its doors to Mancunians by partnering with the nation’s favourite restaurant chain, PizzaExpress. This modern Italian cocktail bar, the brainchild of Dave Marsland and Nick Hopewell-Smith launched a couple of weeks ago at the stunning terrace of First Street, one of Manchester’s most dynamic leisure areas. The menu offers many different refreshing and tantalizing flavours that aim to bring out th

The daily specials are such a steal making El Capo the perfect place for after-work socials. I was here to ‘take advantage’ of the Wing It Wednesda
So, Sunday roasts are a big deal in England. I was so excited and looking forward to trying this ‘lazy and boozy’ traditional meal! Ergo I was delighted when I received the invite to my very first bloggers’ Sunday lunch at Neighbourhood in Manchester. It also has a branch in Liverpool. Neighbourhood is a restaurant, bar and a club all in one, that caters to all. The place is very attractive with its laid-back, loungey setting that draws in a hip crowd. I loved the stylish tou
This is my first restaurant review in Manchester and I’m so pleased it was at Oké Poké. This is Manchester’s first traditional Hawaiian poké restaurant. Poké (pronounced poh-kay) is a Hawaiian street food which is also considered to be typically healthy. Traditionally, poké consists of raw fish, vegetables and other sauces and mix-ins so it kinda resembles a deconstructed sushi bowl. So Oké Poké officially opened just yesterday and I was invited for their launch party which w
