One of Salford’s newest openings, 11 Central, is serving up a decadent Sunday roast this Mother’s Day and the best part of all is, mums can eat absolutely free.
The way it should be, as far as we’re concerned.
The new addition to the recently renovated Quayside over at MediaCityUK has fast become a favourite amongst those local to the ever-growing Salford Quays.
Just next door from the equally busy Kargo MKT, which has already become a popular spot in its own right, the culinary creation and bar from natives SEVEN BRO7HERS and SIS4ERS DISTILLERY is now attracting even more people through the doors with their Mother’s Day offering.
As 11 Central remains a family affair, the team behind the Central Bay microbrewery and dining experience have decided to honour the McAvoy family matriarch, Freda, by serving up as many 11 Central free roasts for mums as they can muster.

The one-time offer is available via reservations only and for tables of three or more people only.
Promising not only a big hearty roast with all the trimmings and lashings of gravy, there will also be a Sunday lamb-based special to mark the occasion.

Better still, diners will be able to enjoy live entertainment alongside their roast, as well as soak up all of the atmosphere with a classic cocktail or craft beer from the brewing pros. And it doesn’t stop there.

To make the day extra special for mums, the on-site SIS4ERS micro-distillery will also be running gin-making sessions for Mother’s Day. Lush.
Serving mums from 12pm until 6pm, walk-ins are also welcome but will not have access to the deal, so if you want to score mama a free scran, make sure you book ahead.

Keith McAvoy, CEO of SEVEN BRO7HERS BREWING CO, said: “This Mother’s Day we will celebrate our mum who has instilled love, work ethic and the importance of family throughout our lives.
“We are very lucky to have her around as we continue our 11 Central journey together as a whole family, and so we invite everyone to come down and spoil their mum with us this Mothering Sunday.”
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.
