Entire Blossoms band rock up to independent takeaway for ‘best sandwiches in Manchester’

Blossoms have hailed a Manchester takeaway as having the ‘best sandwiches’ in town.

The Stockport band popped in – all five of them – to Ad Maiora in the Northern Quarter, to sample one of their authentic Italian sandwiches.

Ad Maiora shared a picture of the five-piece outside their Tib Street sandwich shop, saying it was a ‘special’ moment to have the band visit.

The humble sandwich business started life in the apartment of Sardinian couple Daniela Steri and Enrico Pinna, who quit their jobs to dedicate their lives to sandwiches.

It then expanded to open its first proper site in February last year, where they create beautiful butties with freshly-baked schiacciata – a Tuscan flatbread – and top-quality Italian ingredients.

It’s not just Blossoms who have fallen for Ad Maiora’s incredible food.

The sandwich business is also a firm favourite with several Manchester City stars, including Erling Haaland, who even has a sandwich on the menu named after him.

They’ve had several visits from Pep Guardiola, too, while he was manager of Man City.

Sharing the picture of Blossoms, Ad Maiora wrote: “A special visit from Stockport’s finest.

“It was an absolute pleasure welcoming @blossomsband to Ad Maiora for some proper Italian schiacciata!”

Blossoms commented to say: “I migliori panini di Manchester!! Grazie mille ragazzi” – which translates as: “Best sandwiches in Manchester!! Thank you so much guys.”
