How much curry is too much curry, you ask. Well according to Bombay Curry Club, there’s literally no limit.
This new weekly curry club in Manchester is promising all-you-can eat helpings of all your favourite Indian food, down to slabs of traditional tandoori-cooked naan bread and heaps of masala fries.
The Bombay Curry Club comes from Payal, a fan favourite at Freight Island behind Manchester Piccadilly.
Running every Thursday, hungry Mancs can queue up for a bottomless curry buffet for just £16 per person.
It’s like an all-inclusive holiday where you actually want to eat everything in the building.

Piled up under the row of silver domes you’ll find curries including chicken makhani, tender pieces of chicken swimming in a rich red butter sauce; and lamb karai, where fall-apart lamb comes with a gentle kick of chilli.
For veggies, there’s an aloo gobi masala, where soft cauliflower florets and fluffy potatoes rub shoulders with a whole heap of spices.

There are chunks of tandoori-cooked chicken tikka and veggie samosas to help yourself to too.
Bombay Curry Club also has free-flowing naan breads, cooked properly in the tandoor oven, and mountains of jefra rice.
Just you try and resist piling an entire plate full of their sweet and tangy masala fries too…

And to top it off, as if you’re not already so full you need a long lie down, you can chuck on some poppadoms, kachumber salad, and chutneys.
While you’re diving in on your Bombay Curry Club feast, you’ll be soundtrack by Freight Island’s resident DJs.

You can get FREE sandwiches in Manchester this weekend – but only if you have certain names
Emily Sergeant
Hungry Mancs can help themselves to free sandwiches this bank holiday weekend… but there’s a bit of a catch.
You can only get yourself a sandwich if you have one of these particular names.
We’ve been enjoying some absolutely stunning sunshine across Greater Manchester and much of the UK over the past couple of months, and nothing says sunny days more than taking a packed lunch or grabbing a meal deal and taking it to your local park or greenspace for a picnic.
This is why Pret A Manger has decided to make picnics easier for those who are lucky enough to have a certain type of name.
This late May bank holiday weekend, the popular high street coffee shop chain will be dishing out hundreds of free sandwiches across the UK – including here in Manchester – to anyone whose name happens to start with ‘Nic’.
That means people called Nick, Nicholas, Nicola, Nicole, Nico, Nicolette, and plenty of others could be in with a chance of some free feasting over these next couple of days.

Here in Manchester, it’s the chain’s Portland Street site, just off Piccadilly Gardens, that’s participating in the free giveaway this weekend, and there’ll be 50 sandwiches a day given out, so you’ll need to be quick if your name starts with ‘Nic’ and you’re feeling peckish.
The offer is only limited to Pret’s freshly-made sandwiches, and unfortunately excludes baguettes, wraps, or rye rolls… but free food is better than no food, after all.
All you’ll need to do to grab a freebie is show your ID at the tills of participating stores this Saturday (24 May) to prove your name, and you’ll get to walk out with your lunch in hand, all without having to spend a penny.
Manchester’s Portland Street Pret A Manger will be giving out 50 free sandwiches to ‘Nics’ this Saturday, and they’re on a first-come-first-served basis.
