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.

Tiny Stockport restaurant shares plea after 36 people fail to turn up for reservation
Daisy Jackson
Another local business has had to issue a plea to customers, after an enormous group booking failed to turn up for their reservation.
Casa De Casa in Heaton Moor has shared that a reservation for a whopping 36 guests no-showed over the August bank holiday weekend.
For this tapas bar and Mediterranean restaurant, that’s pretty much the capacity of the entire venue, left empty on what should be one of the busiest weekends of the year.
Casa De Casa said that they had spent time preparing food, sorting staffing, and making sure the restaurant was ready for the large group of 36.
But when ‘nobody showed up’, it left them with a ‘significant loss’.
They said: “We understand that plans can change, but please let us know if you can’t make your booking.
“A simple message can make a big difference.
“Thank you to everyone who continues to support us.”
Casa De Casa took to their Facebook page to share the tale of the ‘difficult night’, and have been flooded with messages of support since.
One person wrote: “That’s actually disgusting. You have a brilliant restaurant – fabulous food every time & top service. I’d happily pay a deposit & not be offended if asked for one.”
Another said: “Absolutely diabolical – I hope they’re reading comments on here and contact you to not only apologise but to pay you at least for the cost of the food. Shocking!”
And someone else posted: “Absolutely awful !!!! …. At least if there is a legit reason they ring and tell you !!!! Awful that you will have to ask now for a deposit on a big booking !!! Why are people so nasty ???? We love it here so keep on being fab xxx”
A new Southeast Asian BBQ restaurant has opened on a Manchester rooftop with jaw-dropping city views
Clementine Hall
Say hello to Sister Moon, a beautiful new restaurant bringing a taste of Southeast Asia to Manchester city centre.
It’s the latest addition to Manchester’s Treehouse Hotel, which opened last year transforming a huge building at the end of Deansgate.
This is the final chapter of its new opening, and it might be our favourite one yet.
Sister Moon is the new project from acclaimed chef Sam Grainger who you’ll know from Madre, among others.

Sam is working alongside Luke Cowdrey and Justin Crawford (Electric Chair, Volta, Freight Island) at Sister Moon, a Southeast Asian BBQ concept inspired by his time cooking with a local family in Thailand.
All the dishes are cooked on open fire, including dishes like the fried pork skewers with banana ketchup and the grilled prawns with crispy chilli and garlic.

Elsewhere on the menu you’ll find stars like the crispy pork belly and pomelo salad as well as the slow cooked lamb jungle curry (warning, this one’s got a kick).
Looking for something lighter? There’s dishes like the smacked cucumber and the cold soba noodle salad that make for the perfect lunch option.

And it’s not just Sister Moon which has opened on the 14th floor of the Treehouse Hotel, also now open is The Nest, a new signature bar with panoramic views of Manchester that will be a destination for late-night drinks and social occasions.
Just up the stairs is also The Hideout – an intimate rooftop lounge and event space designed for private hire.
Kick off your evening with a drink in The Nest before making your way for a flavour-packed dinner at Sister Moon – all whilst enjoying jaw-dropping views of the city.
Sister Moon, The Nest, and The Hideout will officially open on Saturday 5 September, and you can find out more here.
