Burgerism is launching a limited-edition hangover bundle for Parklife Festival

Needed. Very much needed.

Danny Jones Danny Jones - 6th June 2024

Manc takeaway heavyweights Burgerism have just delivered some of the best pre-Parklife news we’ve heard yet: they’re getting ready to fix the hangover before you are.

That’s right, Burgerism is launching a limited edition ‘Hangover Cure’ box just in time for Parklife 2024, meaning that your post-festival recovery meal is already sorted.

With tens of thousands of punters set to descend on Heaton Park this weekend (8-9 June), you can bank on there being a fair few sore heads afterwards, and rightly so – you haven’t done it properly, otherwise.

But thankfully, the Salford-born burger masters have put together the perfect meal deal to help you bounce back the morning after and we kind of wish we could just get this offer every weekend now, to be completely honest.

Available for one weekend only, this appetising hangover deal includes one of Burgerism’s delicious smashed burgers (the Cheesed, Beefed or Baconed), fries, a Burgerism sauce dip and a fun little ‘do not disturb’ door hanger.

That’s the most important part we feel.

‘The Hangover Cure’ bundle will cost you just £9.95 and will be available from Friday, 7 June to Monday 10 June. Sorted.

You can order delivery from Burgerism’s dedicated Manchester Delivery Kitchen via Uber Eats but the offer will also be available for collection only from their Salford, Denton and Gatley sites.

We spent much of last week stuffing our faces with their previous limited-edition crossover at Nell’s Pizza and we would feel guilty about the calories if it wasn’t so delicious, and no, we’re not going to feel guilty about doubling up on Burgerism after Parklife either.

Stocking up on food and drink is often overlooked when it comes to festivals full stop, so we’re glad that someone’s looking after us. Thanks, Burgerism.

Organisers are even going to be handing out free Maccies on the day, so the good news just keeps coming.

Brewksi launch pop-up Euros bar in Ancoats site ahead of new restaurant opening

Danny Jones Danny Jones New Ancoats pop-up bar for Euro 2024 Cutting Room Square

Foodie favourites Brewski are set to open a new location over in Ancoats later this year but in the meantime, they’re turning the space into a pop-up bar for the Euros.

Now this is the kind of pro-active thinking we like to hear.

Brewski announced a new addition to their American Pies pizza concept over on Cutting Room Square last week and although an opening date is yet to be confirmed, they’re making sure to give football fans another place to watch Euro 2024.

As teased in a short video on their social, the new pop-up has taken over the old Second City site and is following their sports bar footsteps this summer – better still, it’s free entry.

Brewski boasts three main brand venues in Chorlton, Sheffield and Chester, but this new venture will be just their second American Pies restaurant in the UK full stop – but not before they serve up a summer of footy, pints and enough screens for everyone to get a proper view of the action.

Sounds simple but it can be hard to guarantee in a busy pub.

Another feature we really like about the impending pop-up, which quietly opened for England’s opening Euros win over Serbia, is that Ancoats locals and the droves of Manchester fans now likely to make their over to the square from are being encouraged to bring their food.

Think of it like a picnic/potluck only with the hate-to-love-it stress of a major international tournament.

As for when the newest American Pies spot will open, since things are still in the early stages we don’t have too much information for you but we can tell you that it’s up there with what we believe are the best pizza places in Manchester.

The ‘Ancoats Sports and Recreation’ pop-up bar will be showing every single game and, once again, there are strictly no bookings or entry fees, so it’s definitely worth giving a go.

As for all the other places where to watch Euro 2024 in Manchester, you can full find our full guide down below.

Oh yeah, and in case you didn’t know already, it’s coming home…

Cadbury is bringing back a legendary discontinued chocolate bar after 20 years

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

Cadbury is bringing back one of its legendary chocolate bars after it was discontinued more than two decades ago.

And fans are already saying they “can’t wait” to get their hands on it.

Not long after it chose to discontinue one of its popular chocolate bars after noticing a decline in sales last year, and merely months after rival retailer Nestlé made the “difficult decision” to axe the nostalgic chocolate biscuit bars, Breakaways, Cadbury has decided to make the days of chocolate fans instead of ruining it, for once.

That’s because the beloved confectionary company has announced that one of its fan-favourite chocolate bars from the 90s is set to make a long-awaited comeback.

For sweet tooths who are quite partial to their milk and white chocolate, then how both in one sound? That’s right, it’s been a long time coming, but Cadbury has revealed that it’ll be relaunching the massively-popular Top Deck bar as another way of celebrating the company’s 200th anniversary.

The Top Deck bar was first launched all the way back in 1993, and features a layer of smooth white chocolate on top of a classic Dairy Milk chocolate base.

Giving chocolate lovers the best of both worlds, the Top Deck bar is still sold in Australia and South Africa, and even briefly reappeared exclusively at B&M back in 2020, despite it not having been a permanent feature on UK shop shelves since the early noughties.

But now, it’s back… well, just for a little while anyway.

As mentioned, in a bid to properly mark Cadbury’s continued 200th anniversary celebrations, the Top Deck bar will return to supermarket shelves later this month for a limited run, and the company says it’ll be like “a trip down memory lane for 90s babies”.

Expected to set shoppers back £1.85 for a 110g bar, the returning Top Deck bar will be wrapped in what Cadbury is calling “vintage-inspired packaging from the original”, while the actual bar itself has had a little revamp to bring it more in-line with how Cadbury’s other chocolate sharing bars look at the moment.

Speaking to The Grocer ahead of the long-awaited Top Deck return, Cadbury’s Brand Manager, Mara Popa, said the company is “delighted” to be answering fans’ requests by relaunching the chocolate bar for “a limited time”.

“With two delicious layers of milk and creamy white chocolate, every bite of Cadbury Top Deck will reward you with pure indulgence.”

At this time, it’s unknown exactly how long Top Deck will be returning to UK shop shelves for, but what we do know is that any time is better than nothing.

Keep your eyes peeled for more information to be revealed on the grand return.
