As mad as it sounds, this is no joke, as in honour of six successful years in Manchester, leading food delivery service Deliveroo has partnered with three of the rainy city’s most popular and best-loved pizza places to supply an exclusive range of discount meals in one of the biggest promotions it has ever run in the region.
Rudy’s, American Pies and Double Zero are all offering 6p dishes as part of these unmissable celebrations.
Iconic neapolitan pizzeria Rudy’s will be serving up a wide selection of its most popular pizzas for less than the price of a plastic bag, as will the city centre’s newest Chicago-style deep dish pizza joint, American Pies, and Chorlton’s cult-favourite, Double Zero.
In case you missed it, popular Manchester-based burger joints Solita, Yard & Coop, and Gourmet Burger Inc all kicked off the delivery service’s 6p birthday celebrations yesterday – and it’s safe to say it was a pretty popular event, with hungry Mancunians snapping up the day’s burger allocations in just under three minutes.

There’s only 200 pizzas available per restaurant today too, so you’ll need to be on it.
The selected dishes at each restaurant will be eligible for free delivery, and a service fee will be applied to each item (price varying depending on location).

All 6p menu items can be ordered via the Deliveroo app.
After yesterday’s popular demand, it’s been confirmed that Rudy’s will be opening just after 12pm today, American Pies at 12:30pm, and Double Zero at around 3pm. If a restaurant appears closed, it’s either because the item is sold out or the restaurant has temporarily paused accepting new orders to give them chance to catch up.
And if the chance to bag yourself some 6p pizza wasn’t enough, there’s also a competition currently running over on The Manc Eats Instagram page to give three lucky winners £200 worth of Deliveroo order credit.

This Manchester bar serves a bottomless cheese fondue with endless beer and wine
Georgina Pellant
There’s a bar in Manchester serving a bottomless cheese fondue with endless wine and beer, and it honestly sounds like the perfect treat.
While it might scream cosy winter night in, with a huge outdoor terrace, The Mews is also a firm favourite during the summer months.
Add in a board of melt-in-the-mouth charcuterie, springy pieces of garlic sourdough and a host of crunchy cheese biscuits, and you’ve got yourself the ideal afternoon if you ask us.
But there’s more. Alongside all that cheese and meat and bread, included in the price of The Mews’ bottomless fondue, cheese lovers can also enjoy 90 minutes of non-stop drinks.

Costing £37.50 each, included in the deal is a huge pot of melted Italian Fontina cheese served with homemade garlic croutons, sourdough crackers, and slices of British charcuterie.
You’ll also get to enjoy an hour and a half of endless pints of house pilsner and carafes of red or white wine to enjoy alongside.
Serving up to six people, the bottomless cheese fondue is available only when you pre-book, so make sure to get in touch ahead of your visit to let The Mews know that you’re coming.
If you’re not on the sauce, you can opt for the cheese fondue alone. Without the booze, it’s quite a bit cheaper at £25 for one, and £2.50 on top for any additional people who want to get stuck in.
Housed up on Deansgate Mews, just behind the main hustle and bustle of Deansgate, there’s plenty of space inside as well as a large, secluded terrace that is quite the suntrap (when the Manchester sun is shining).
‘The average cost of a pint’ in the UK by region, according to the latest data
Danny Jones
Does it feel like pints keep getting more and more expensive almost every week at this point? Yes. Yes, it does, and while you can’t expect a city as big as Manchester to be one of the cheapest places to get one in the UK, we do often wonder how it compares to other parts of the country.
Well, as it happens, someone has recently crunched the numbers for us across the nation, breaking down which regions pay the most and the least for their pints.
The data has been examined by business management consultancy firm, CGA Strategy, using artificial intelligence and information from the latest Retail Price Index figures to find out what the ‘average cost of a pint’ is down south, up North and everywhere in between.
While the latest statistics provided by the group aren’t granular enough to educate us on Greater Manchester’s pint game exactly, we can show you how our particular geographic region is looking on the leaderboard at the moment.
That’s right, we Mancunians and the rest of the North West are technically joint mid-table when it comes to the lowest average cost of a pint, sharing the places from 3rd to 8th – according to CGA, anyway.
Powered by consumer intelligence company, NIQ (NielsenIQ) – who also use AI and the latest technology to deliver their insights – we can accept it might seem like it’s been a while since you’ve paid that little for a pint, especially in the city centre, but these are the stats they have published.
Don’t shoot the messenger, as they say; unless, of course, they’re trying to rob you blind for a bev. Fortunately, we’ve turned bargain hunting at Manchester bars into a sport at this point.
We might not boast the lowest ‘average’ pint cost in the UK, but we still have some bloody good places to keep drinking affordable.
London tops the charts (pretends to be shocked)
While some of you may have scratched your eyes at the supposed average pint prices here in the North West, it won’t surprise any of you to see that London leads the way when it came to the most expensive pint when it came to average cost in the UK.
To be honest, £5.44 doesn’t just sound cheap but virtually unheard of these days.
CGA has it that the average cost of a beer in the British capital is actually down 15p from its price last September, but as we all know, paying upwards of £7 for a pint down that end of the country is pretty much par for the course the closer you get to London.
Yet more reason you can be glad you live around here, eh? And in case you thought you were leaving this article with very little, think again…
