Get ready to race half of Manchester city centre over to Deansgate as Honest Burgers are giving away 100 free burgers from their Spinningfelds location today (Tuesday, 26 September).
As part of a nationwide promotion, the increasingly popular and ever-delicious chain of burger restaurants is handing out 100 complimentary smashed burgers from their 40 different locations around the UK, meaning there’s going to be 4,000 free patties flying out the doors this lunchtime.
With fries included. Today is a great day.
Set to run from 11:30am until 2pm this afternoon, Honest Burgers will be welcoming Mancs and people all over the country to queue up outside their city centre spots to try and get their hands on a tasty smash burger and some of their irresistible rosemary salted chips.
The rules are simple: 100 portions of burgers and chips are handed out for free per restaurant and it’s first come, first served, so when they’re gone, they’re gone.
However, the excitement doesn’t stop there…
In an incredible twist and bold bit of marketing for the burger joint, one lucky diner will also win a whopping £5,000 worth of Honest Equity Shares and therefore become a co-owner of the Honest Burgers franchise.
All you need to do to find out if you’ve won is check your free burger ticket in their Spinningfields restaurant for details.
Honest Burgers co-founder Tom Barton had this to say on the incredibly generous scheme: “We started in a marquee, in a muddy field, mostly in the rain! It’s fair to say, we never dreamed we’d get to where we are today.
“One thing for sure is we wouldn’t have got here without our loyal customers. So we wanted to give them the opportunity to become co-owners of the brand as we set up the next chapter in our story…
Nothing says thank you better than a free burger! We’ve been totally overwhelmed with the response to our crowdfunding campaign and we’re super excited that our customers can join us for the next stage of our adventure”.
Nostalgic ready-to-drink Breezer makes UK return after a decade
Daisy Jackson
An iconic ready-to-drink favourite has launched back into the UK – oh yes, Breezer is back.
First launched in the 1990s, Breezers – then pitched as an ‘alcopop’ – were a staple on dancefloors and at barbecues right across the UK.
And now Bacardi has decided to bring these delicious, fruity, easy-drinking bottles back to British shores.
There are three new flavours to try as Breezers return to your fridges – Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime, and Crisp Watermelon.
And Breezer launched back into Manchester last night with a suitably memorable party, turning a spot in the Northern Quarter into a corner shop.
The ‘local Cornerbop’ was stacked with your usual essentials, plus shelf after shelf of these colourful glass ready-to-drink bottles.

The Breezer relaunch party saw Tarsza and Rennie Peters spinning nostalgic anthems with a modern twist at a pop-up party in a corner shop.
Steve Young, business unit director for Bacardi in the UK & Ireland, said: “We know there is a lot of love for Breezer in the UK, and we are confident a new generation of consumers will fall in love with the new Breezer.
“RTDs are booming, however, the Flavoured Alcoholic Beverages category could do with a bit more excitement. By bringing back Breezer we’re definitely putting the fruity taste into FAB.”
The iconic ready-to-drink classic is back – and better than ever.
Drinks prices for Manchester Oasis gigs announced – and you’ll be pleasantly surprised
Daisy Jackson
The prices of drinks at Heaton Park for the five huge Manchester Oasis shows have been released in advance.
With the Gallagher brothers reuniting on stage in their hometown for the first time this weekend (and then again next week), it’s a huge moment for our city.
Those lucky enough to snag tickets have already forked out a small fortune to witness this moment in history (still scarred from the dynamic pricing debacle).
And most of us were probably bracing to spend another small fortune on beers at the Oasis Manchester gigs.
But you might be pleasantly surprised at the drinks prices up at Heaton Park for Oasis Live ’25.
It’s now been confirmed that pints of lager and cider will be just £6.50.
Before you turn your nose up, remember that pints at our two arenas – the AO Arena and Co-op Live are now sitting around the £9 mark.
Prices for other drinks, like wine and spirits, we’ll have to wait until Friday to see.
Heaton Park will also be the home of the ‘largest beer garden’ and the longest bars in the city for the Oasis reunion.
With a major heatwave predicted for the first shows, fans are being encouraged to stay hydrated (on WATER, not beer, please).
Ticket-holders will be allowed to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml in with you, but it must be collapsible plastic.
Solid plastic and metal containers will be rejected on safety grounds.
There’s a free water point on site where you can fill up your bottles again.
Oasis will perform at Heaton Park in Manchester on 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 July.
