Meat lovers are in for a treat, as it’s been announced that a new all-you-can-eat Brazilian rodizio is opening in Altrincham.
Brought to the Trafford market town by one of the restauranteurs behind Fazenda, new opening Jardim Rodizio will offer diners top-quality Brazilian-style steak in a bottomless dining setting.
Fazenda co-founder Robert Melman is behind the new concept, which will be launching inside the Old Post Rooms in Altrincham later this year.

Jardim, which translates simply to ‘garden’ from Portuguese, will be Robert’s first foray into opening his own restaurant since leaving the Fazenda group.
A project that began in lockdown, it will now be brought to life – taking over a building that has stood empty for over a year.

In traditional rodizio style, meats here will be served directly off the cooking spit – sliced and plated right at your table, adding a theatrical edge to your Brazilian steakhouse experience.

Diners will pay a fixed price, with servers bringing around a host of different options to your table until you can’t possibly muster anymore.

Popular cuts found in rodizio restaurants tend to include maminha beef (a tri-tip sirloin steak exclusive to rodizio restaurants), frango com bacon (chicken wrapped in bacon), and linguiça (a mild Brazilian sausage).
Whilst the full details of the menu are still yet to be revealed, Robert has mentioned that there will be a salad bar in the 120-cover restaurant.

If the Jardim salad bar is anything like the legendary one at Fazenda, we expect that this will be a reason to visit all on its own. Veggies and vegans should fear not.

Robert told the MEN: “I wanted to create something new where I can add the personal touch again.
“Jardim has been a lockdown project of mine and I am loving the excitement of bringing something new to Altrincham.
He also revealed that he had not been able to say goodbye to his team when departing from Fazenda, who he considered as being like family, and commented that “as brands grow bigger that personality can be lost.”

How will the Government’s new digital ID alternative for alcohol sales work?
Emily Sergeant
All licensed venues across England and Wales now have the choice to introduce digital proof of age for alcohol sales alongside physical.
Instead of having to hand over physical ID that contains personal information, such as names and home addresses, customers now have the choice to simply provide confirmation that they are 18 or over on their phone – helping to better protect privacy and personal safety in the process.
This means that, no matter whether you’re buying a drink at your favourite pub, heading to a festival, or enjoying a night out at a concert, you won’t need to worry if you’ve left your ID at home.
According to the Government, this new change will benefit businesses greatly too, as certified digital services are able to check that an ID is genuine and belongs to the person presenting it much easier than the alternative can, which therefore helps to reduce the risk of any fake or borrowed IDs going undetected.
Well, according to the Government, it could be as simple as a customer showing a QR code for staff to scan, or tapping their phone against a compatible reader, where staff will then receive a clear confirmation on their device that the customer has passed the age check.
This change follows a 2024 Government consultation where it was reported that 72% of respondents supported the use of digital identities for age verification when buying alcohol.
Digital Government Minister Stephanie Peacock reiterated that ‘it will remain an individual or business’ choice whether to use or adopt [digital ID]’ and that physical ID will ‘still remain a valid way’ for customers to prove their age.
“This groundbreaking change in the law will mean you do not need to carry a physical ID, nor hand over sensitive personal information such as your name or address just to prove your age, allowing everyone to feel safer on a night out,” she concluded.

Manchester to host G20 Summit in 2027 with more than a dozen world leaders descending on the city
Emily Sergeant
Manchester has been confirmed as the host city for the G20 Summit next year.
It was already announced back in November last year that the G20 Summit would be coming to the UK in 2027, and plans were apparently already being discussed to host it in Manchester even before Andy Burnham became Prime Minister and Number 10 North was set up.
But now, ahead of this year’s leaders’ summit being held in Miami in December, it has been confirmed that the G20 Summit will arrive in Manchester in November 2027.
Manchester is said to have been picked to host the leaders’ summit because of its ‘cultural heritage’.
Bringing together 19 of the world’s largest economies and two major multilateral bodies – the European Union and the African union – G20 members who will be invited to attend the summit next year make up 85% of global GDP, 75% of international trade, and two-thirds of the world’s population as a whole.

G20 members are also some of the UK’s closest economic partners, the Government insists.
17 of the UK’s top 20 global export markets attend the summit, as do 18 of the UK’s top 20 sources of foreign direct investment.
The presidency of the G20 is currently held by the US but will pass to the UK after the leaders’ summit hosted by the president at his Trump National Doral Miami golf resort in December.
The 2027 summit will be held at Manchester Central, it has been confirmed, and other locations across the UK will also host other G20 events as part of the year-long presidency, but these are yet to be announced.
