One of Manchester’s bowling alley bars has launched a keg filled with cocktails in time for Easter.
The Easter K’egg comes from Lane7, which opened at the Great Northern Warehouse last May.
The huge vessel is filled with a whopping three litres of Cosmopolitan, the drink made especially famous by the hit TV show Sex and the City.
Each limited-edition keg has around 24 servings of the cocktail, which is made with Grey Goose vodka, cranberry juice, triple sec and fresh lime juice.

The grown-up Easter treat is priced at £120 and geared towards groups (obviously), working out £5 per cocktail.

Lane7 is home to beer pong tables, shuffle boards, interactive darts and shooting pods, as well as bowling lanes.
Graeme Smith, chief operating officer at Lane7 Group, said: “Part of the joy of spring and Easter is the opportunity to get out with friends and families. Normally Easter Eggs are reserved for children, but we thought we’d create something for the big kids to enjoy.

“At Lane7, we try to bring a unique spin on much-loved activities – be it bowling, UV ping pong, and now Easter eggs.”
It’s part of the Great Northern Warehouses’s wider Easter celebrations, which has seen many of the independent businesses launch special food deals.
Alex’s Bakery will be creating a Mini Egg Easter Cake, while Dormouse Chocolates will be serving a Bunny Snacks Bar flavoured with cinnamon and carrot-flavoured white chocolate. The chocolatier also makes its Eggs on Toast Bar – bread and butter milk chocolate topped with a white chocolate fried ‘egg’.
There’ll be an Easter egg hunt at newcomer gaming bar Pong & Puck, with hidden eggs concealing prizes like a £100 bar tab.
The Easter K’egg will be available at Lane7 in Manchester until Easter Monday – you can pre-order it one at Lane7.co.uk or email [email protected] quoting Easter K’egg.

Manchester’s tiny new tiramisu hatch Layr speaks out after receiving influx of ‘hostile’ hate messages
Emily Sergeant
Manchester’s tiny new tiramisu hatch has spoken out after receiving a recent influx of ‘hostile’ hate messages and reviews.
Having only opened its doors – or should we say, shutters – at the end of last month (29 January) over in Acoats, Layr is one of Manchester’s newest independent businesses that is selling purely tiramisu, with a menu of three different flavours, each served in individually portioned pots.
Here you can expect classic tiramisu where sponge is soaked in espresso, then layered with vanilla marscapone and cocoa dust.
These freshly-made, alcohol-free and Halal desserts have gone down an absolute treat with residents and visitors to the city alike since opening, but unfortunately, it hasn’t been completely smooth sailing for founder Moona who has admitted over the weekend that they have been receiving a number of ‘hostile’ hate comments and reviews that don’t reflect the service they are providing.
The statement comes after the business teamed up with The Couture Club and influencer Farron Clark for a Valentine’s collaboration over the weekend.
Layr said in its Instagram statement: “As a small independent business, we can’t stay silent when things aren’t right. It’s hard to share, but it has to be said.
“With a heavy heart, we need to address something that’s been happening behind the scenes. Over the past few days, we’ve noticed a pattern that’s been difficult to process. Hostile hate-messages, comments, and reviews. A number of one-star reviews have appeared that don’t feel reflective of real customer experiences… with some of our genuine customer photos have been screenshotted and reposted elsewhere.

“As a small, new independent business, we take all feedback on board. However instances that appear not to be genuine are disheartening to see.”
They then shared a couple of screenshot images of reviews and comments they were referring to, before adding that: “The industry is already a challenge without these instances. We all need each other’s support and I hope we all succeed in what we set out to achieve.”
The statement concluded: “Let’s spread love… not hate.”
Layr’s post has seen hundreds of likes and comments from customers and other local businesses sharing their support.

‘Manchester’s best lunch deal’ that’s only available for two hours a day
Daisy Jackson
There’s a cafe in the centre of Manchester that’s had queues all the way down the street thanks to its incredible value lunch deal.
Although it’s been in Spring Gardens for two years now, Meridian has remained one of Manchester’s best-kept secrets online, thanks to its decision to stay totally off social media until recently.
That hasn’t stopped the queues though, and they’re all here for the same thing – a loaded £5.80 lunch box.
Tucked away just off Market Street, Meridian is an unassuming cafe operated by founder Dan.
It’s much more than a coffee shop, with a menu of Asian fusion dishes served in the cafe, as well as for grab-and-go lunches.
The lunch boxes start from just £5.80, which gets you a box absolutely packed to the brim with delicious Chinese and South East Asian items.
You start off with a base of either egg rice fried, chips, or noodles; then lash on a sauce like Malaysian curry, Thai sweet chilli, or satay.

As for the toppings, there’s a massive list including popcorn salt n chilli chicken, Japanese gyozas, roasted pork ribs, tofu bites, and crispy spicy beef.
