This Pancake Day, there’s a restaurant in Manchester’s Northern Quarter dishing up unlimited portions of pancakes and it sounds absolutely brilliant.
Priced at £13.50 for 30 minutes off non-stop servings, if you think you can manage to eat your body weight in pancakes then this might just be for you.
Taking place at cultural hub Ducie Street Warehouse, your unlimited serving of pancakes can come loaded with everything from Nutella and maple syrup to mixed berries, cinnamon sugar and more.
Toppings-wise, it’s up to you to choose what to go for. As well as a selection of sweet toppings, there’ll also be something for the savoury pancake fans out there including added extras like bacon and eggs, as well as some vegan alternatives too.

As for the pancakes themselves, diners should expect stacks of fluffy American-style beauties – so if you’re into crepes on Pancake Day, you’re probably best off going somewhere else.

With this year’s Pancake Day taking place on Tuesday 21 February, the offer will run from breakfast to tea time starting at 10am and finishing at 5pm.

Pancake fans are invited to head to the pancake station to collect their goodies, then mix and match up to three different toppings to create their own unique stack.
Once they’re done, they’re welcome to head up and get another plateful – with no limit on how many times they can refill on pancakes during the 30 minute time slot.

Lydia Mastrolonardo
A festival dedicated to rosé wine is making a return to Manchester this summer – and your ticket includes unlimited wine.
This year marks the third year of The Beeswing’s Rosé Festival, which has quickly become a staple for all Mancunian wine-lovers.
This outdoor festival will transport you to a French vineyard, with acoustic live music from La Chanteuse, and a setting in amongst the leaft Kampus gardens. Even your four-legged friends are invited to the party.
Head on down to absorb some of that sunshine and get your hands on unlimited glasses of more than 20 different rosés, orange and sparkling wines, sourced from across the world.
Whether you consider yourself a connoisseur or just like the sound of some fizz in the sun, this garden party has plenty of new wines for you to try.
Sit back and relax, chat with suppliers, and if you choose to, you can purchase bottles of some seriously top-notch wines at exclusive reduced rates.
You can expect wines from Raymond Reynolds (Portuguese Wines), Alliance Wines, Hammonds of Knutsford, and Boutinot.

Manchester’s tiniest coffee shop has opened in Ancoats serving £2.50 flat whites
Daisy Jackson
A tiny new coffee shop has opened in Ancoats, and it’s already turning heads with a simple mission – making quality coffee affordable again.
7ZZ (pronounced ‘seven zeez’) has quietly launched on Oldham Road in a space no bigger than your arm span.
Owner Joe Stephens is bringing speciality coffee prices back down to earth with flat whites starting from just £2.50 and matcha from only £4.
In a city where a morning coffee can easily set you back more than a fiver, the new independent hopes to bridge the gap between premium coffee shops and budget chains.
The compact café may be easy to miss at first glance, but its menu packs plenty of personality. Alongside classic espresso-based drinks, customers can pick up ceremonial-grade matcha, iced barista-made coffees, and vibrant ube lattes made properly (no purple syrup in sight).
Joe says the idea behind 7ZZ was to create a space where customers don’t have to choose between quality and affordability, with a price list that rivals Greggs.
Adding to the appeal is a selection of pastries from Sticky Fingers, the popular Stockport bakery known for its indulgent sweet treats.

With fresh bakes like croissants and custard buns lining the counter each day, the new opening looks set to become a popular stop for commuters and locals alike.
As Ancoats continues to cement its reputation as one of Manchester’s best neighbourhoods for food and drink, 7ZZ is offering something increasingly rare – speciality coffee that doesn’t come with a speciality price tag.
7ZZ Coffee is now open at 116 Oldham Road, Ancoats, M4 6AG.
