Sharing a brief statement on social media, the still bedding-in staff wrote: “Definitely not what we want to be posting but we’ve broken into for the second time in six weeks.”
As explained in the post, in addition to this most recent bit of vandalism, the brand also suffered a break-in and attempted robbery at their original city centre site on Mosley Street just over a month ago.

The pre-existing site, which has been serving up the best Chicago-style deep-dish pizza in Manchester since 2021, recently closed to make way for the upgraded venue and is currently sitting empty as they prepare to re-open it as another new spin-off.
We can’t tell you anything about what the old restaurant will become at the moment but let’s just say we’re very excited.

Put it this way, as the popular pizza spot is owned and operated by the beloved Brewksi brand, it’s hardly going to be anything else other than delicious, is it?
Most frustratingly as the post goes on to details, for the sake of security and stability in the meantime, the team are now accepting card-only payments for now.
“We can’t keep having our cash flow interrupted”, they continued; “We understand this makes it difficult for some customers but we feel like we don’t have much choice [at the minute].”

Nevertheless, they have received a wave of support online and the Manc foodie crowd made it clear they are well and truly behind “Team Pies” and, luckily, with support from the parent company, we have every faith they’ll bounce back stronger than ever as they have done before.
With their mainline food porn paradises down the road in Chorlton as well as Chester and Sheffield, Brewski has a lot of love all over the North, so we wish them all the best and hope their luck turns soon.

Bakery chain Gail’s is attempting to win over Prestwich after spelling mishap
Daisy Jackson
Gail’s has announced a plan to try and make amends with Prestwich after spelling the village’s name wrong on the new bakery’s signs.
The massive bakery chain finally confirmed that it would be moving into the suburb on the fringes of Bury and Manchester, but made a fatal flaw at the first step.
The huge posters are missing the letter ‘T’, instead saying ‘Hello Preswich’.
More than a few eyebrows were raised locally, with people saying it’s ‘not a great first impression for the locals…’.
And now Gail’s is attempting to put things right by offering free tea to Prestwich residents.
In new material released today, they wrote: “Oops… people of Prestwich, we owe you a ‘T’.
“You may have seen how we missed out a ‘t’ in our new bakery signage.
“We’re sorry for the mistake, and to make up for it we’d like to brew you a tea when we open.”
The new advertising has a QR code which people can scan to claim their free cuppa.
Gail’s has also passed its thanks on to ‘local resident Clair’, who actually came up with the suggestion on The Manc’s LinkedIn post here.
With this development, Gail’s has now confirmed it’ll be opening in Prestwich – directly opposite the new Rudy’s – in early 2025, with free tea served then to those who scan the QR code.

Salon Madre – A new tequila bar and pool hall is opening in Manchester
Daisy Jackson
A new tequila bar and pool hall is set to open in Manchester in a couple of weeks, from the same team behind Madre.
The huge new space, Salon Madre, will be serving up the tacos and burritos that have made the Mexican restaurant at Kampus so well-loved.
And all that’s alongside a drinks menu that centres around tequila, including frozen, classic and flavoured margaritas and palomas.
Can’t stomach tequila? There’ll also be wines on draft, Corona and local beers.
The food menu will show off signature dishes like al pastor tacos, with daily rotating specials, plus Gringas, nachos and Madre’s huge burritos.
Salon Madre has taken over a spot just off Kampus’s lush garden that was previously home to a Seven Brothers taproom, right next door to Madre itself.

As well as all the Mexican food and drink goodness, the bar will have four pool tables and will be screening Lucha Libre (Mexican wrestling) and American sports.
The dream is to bring the fun and liveliness of a Mexican pool hall to the heart of Manchester, in this beautiful spot right near Piccadilly and Canal Street.
Salon Madre will open on 6 December at Kampus, with bookings for Christmas groups and parties now available.
