This Manchester restaurant has launched an entire menu dedicated to cauliflower cheese
There's six different flavours to choose from as part of Ducie Street's new roast, including a cauliflower-macaroni cheese hybrid that offers the best of both worlds
Cauliflower has become all things nowadays – rice, ‘chicken’ wings, ‘steaks.’ It’s even become a popular roast replacement, rubbed with herbs and grilled whole for your table’s centerpiece.
But we think we can all agree it is at its very best encased in cheesy bechamel, slightly charred on top and gooey in the middle, fresh out of the oven.
It seems that the team at Ducie Street agree, because they’ve gone and created an entire menu dedicated to the good stuff – and we’re absolutely here for it.

Launched as part of the restaurant’s new Sunday roast menu, the dedicated cauliflower cheese section spans a whopping six different choices.

From bacon fizzle-topped cauliflower to an umami-rich truffled option, there are some mouth-watering options to choose from.
Think cauliflower cheese made with traditional vintage cheddar, or richened up with funky blue cheese for the most indulgent cheesey side you can imagine.

Alternatively, for lovers of macaroni cheese, there’s something for you too – a cauliflower, macaroni cheese hybrid that offers the very best of both worlds. They’ve not forgotten about vegans, either, with a plant-based option included on the menu here too.
The new cauliflower cheese menu has been created as part of Ducie Street’s new roast dinner offering, which also features the likes of dry-aged shorthorn beef sirloin, roast supreme of corn fed chicken, rosemary roasted leg of lamb, free-range gammon, and a weekly-changing vegan roast.

As well as ordering classic mains combos with sides, guests can also opt for a carvery-style order featuring a slice of each of the four meats with all the usual trimmings. Further side choices, meanwhile, include Cumbrian pigs-in-blankets, honey roasted heirloom carrots and minted sugar snap peas.

Launching on Sunday 26 September, all plated roasts will be served with roast potatoes from Massey’s local Cheshire farm, homemade giant Yorkshire’s, seasonal veg and a choice of meat or vegan gravy.

Huge shuttle bus effort laid on to get Manchester United fans to Old Trafford amid tram disruption
Daisy Jackson
Transport for Greater Manchester has announced a shuttle bus scheme to help Manchester United fans get to Old Trafford this week, amid major tram disruption.
Fans won’t be able to use trams to get to the ground as usual, due to huge improvement works which are in place until Monday 2 November.
There’ll be no trams at all on the Altrincham, Trafford Park, and Eccles lines, with Airport and East Didsbury trams only going as far as Firswood.
That means that fans heading to Manchester United’s home game against Bournemouth would have been a little stuck without this newly-announced shuttle bus service.
Frequent dedicated shuttle buses will run running Piccadilly Gardens, Altrincham Interchange and the Trafford Centre, taking fans directly to Old Trafford before the game.
Frequencies range from five to 20 minutes depending on the route and time, with details available online. Return services will be in place after the final whistle.
TfGM staff will be at key stops and interchanges throughout the day to help fans get to the match and provide travel advice.

Ian Davies, TfGM’s Network Director for Metrolink, said: “There is no good time to disrupt passengers to carry out these works, and this is the first time in over a decade that trams won’t serve Old Trafford on a match day, but these works are essential and will enable us to provide a better service in future. I am very sorry to fans who face disruption.
“We’ve put a range of alternative travel options in place, including dedicated shuttle buses, bolstered Bee Network bus services, rail options and ticket acceptance arrangements will help fans get to and from the game.
“Journey options will be different from usual, so we would encourage supporters to plan ahead, check their route and our website before they travel and leave plenty of time to get to and from the stadium.”
TfGM is advising supporters to leave around an hour earlier to help make sure they arrive in time for kick-off.
