Deliveroo is celebrating six years in Manchester in proper style this month – offering 6p dishes and a competition giving three lucky winners £200 worth of order credit.
In honour of half a dozen successful years in the Rainy City, the delivery service is partnering with nine local restaurants to supply an exclusive range of discount meals between May 4 and May 6.
For three days, Mancs will be able to grab tasty food items from local favourites such as Solita, Rudy’s amd Zumu for just 6p. That’s less than the price of a plastic bag…
There’ll be themed bargains up for grabs on selected dates – with the promotion featuring a Burger Day, a Pizza Day and a Sushi Day.
Solita, Yard & Coop and Gourmet Burger Inc will all be taking part on day one (May 4) for burger dishes, whilst Rudy’s, American Pies, and Double Zero are participating on day two (May 5).

Three Zumu restaurants across central Manchester, Didsbury and Wilmslow will be supplying discount grub on the final date of the promotion (May 6) for Sushi Day.
Selected dishes will be eligible for free delivery. A service fee will be applied to each item (price will vary depending on location).

It’s one of the biggest promotions Deliveroo have run in Manchester and all of the 6p dishes are expected to run out very quickly – so you’ll need to get your order in early to be in with a chance of bagging a bargain.
All 6p menu items can be ordered via the Deliveroo app.
Alongside the discount dish promotion, Deliveroo is also running a competition for one winner to bag £600 to use for future takeaways.

‘Manchester’s best lunch deal’ that’s only available for two hours a day
Daisy Jackson
There’s a cafe in the centre of Manchester that’s had queues all the way down the street thanks to its incredible value lunch deal.
Although it’s been in Spring Gardens for two years now, Meridian has remained one of Manchester’s best-kept secrets online, thanks to its decision to stay totally off social media until recently.
That hasn’t stopped the queues though, and they’re all here for the same thing – a loaded £5.80 lunch box.
Tucked away just off Market Street, Meridian is an unassuming cafe operated by founder Dan.
It’s much more than a coffee shop, with a menu of Asian fusion dishes served in the cafe, as well as for grab-and-go lunches.
The lunch boxes start from just £5.80, which gets you a box absolutely packed to the brim with delicious Chinese and South East Asian items.
You start off with a base of either egg rice fried, chips, or noodles; then lash on a sauce like Malaysian curry, Thai sweet chilli, or satay.

As for the toppings, there’s a massive list including popcorn salt n chilli chicken, Japanese gyozas, roasted pork ribs, tofu bites, and crispy spicy beef.
Plans officially submitted for ‘vibrant’ new food hall in Wythenshawe
Emily Sergeant
Are you feeling hungry? Good, because a new food hall is on the horizon.
That’s right – plans to transform Wythenshawe Civic have taken another exciting leap forward this week, as Manchester City Council and placemaker Muse have submitted a planning application to bring a brand-new food hall to the town.
Set to be housed within the three units next to the former Peacocks store – which has now been demolished – the new food hall will become a ‘vibrant’ destination for independent and local food vendors to attract people with ‘delicious and diverse’ offerings.
Developers also hope the new food hall will keep the suburban Manchester town’s centre ‘bustling’ throughout the day and into the evening.
The announcement that the new food hall is in the works comes as part of the already-announced plans for Wythenshawe Civic – with work to soon begin on everything from the public realm, and outside space, to the vacant office space above the existing Iceland-store, which will also be transformed into modern new workspace to support local start-ups and bring new jobs into the town centre.
Developers also recently submitted three separate applications to create 422 new affordable homes for social rent across three locations in the town centre.
“Listening to local people over the last year and more, we know that Wythenshawe residents want more from their town centre – more things to do, opportunities to spend time in Civic and night time attractions that give the area a lift and attract visitors,” commented Cllr Bev Craig, who is the Leader of Manchester City Council.
“This is the drive behind the Culture Hub. A place for local people with an interest in the arts to take part in creative activities, see a show or enjoy the cinema space – right in the heart of their community.
“This is another exciting chapter in the transformation of Wythenshawe Town Centre.”
Joel Chandler, who is the Senior Development Manager at Muse, added that developers are ‘moving at pace’ with plans to give the town centre the ‘regeneration it deserves’.
“The food hall will be a hive for a range of local outlets and will provide new spaces for the community to spend time in and give the town’s nighttime economy a major boost.”
