Georgina Pellant Georgina Pellant - 28th March 2023

Manchester has a new three-course bottomless brunch offer, and it sounds like an absolute beast of a deal – with premium cuts of steak, unlimited starters, and an hour and a half of free-flowing drinks.

Launched by Argentine steakhouse pros Gaucho, the new bottomless deal gives diners 90 minutes to indulge in drinks like citrus negronis, pornstar martinis, spritzes, lager and wine, with a choice of red, white and rose.

Spanning three courses and 90 minutes of drinks, starter dishes are unlimited whilst main highlights include Gaucho’s cuts of free-range Aberdeen Angus beef, reared on the flat grasslands of the Pampas. Think premium wet-aged sirloin with chimichurri and French fries and spiral-cute churrasco de cuadril marinated in garlic, parsley and olive oil.

The Lawn Club closes temporarily after bar brawl at event leaves ‘trail of blood’ on floor

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson

The Lawn Club has been temporarily instructed to close after a fight last weekend left a trail of blood on the floor outside.

The popular Spinningfields sun-trap bar has said that it’s cooperating fully with Greater Manchester Police and Manchester City Council while the incident is investigated.

A report from GMP said that ‘a large group of people’ were fighting at the city centre bar, one of whom reportedly was seen with a gun, which was thankfully not fired.

At 10.25pm on Sunday 4 June, North West Ambulance service reported that a male had been stabbed in the leg but ‘the knife was no longer in his leg and they didn’t know where it was’.

The victim got up and walked away, and has still not been traced.

The incident happened during an event that was organised by a third party promoter.

The Lawn Club provided CCTV footage to officers, which showed two males arguing before a third appeared with a black handgun.

A spokesperson for the venue said: “On Sunday 4th June, an incident occurred at The Lawn Club, the premises operated by Hardman Bars. This was during an event organised by a third party promoter.

“As a result of this incident, we have been instructed to close the premises temporarily. We also recognise and fully comply with the request by GMP and Manchester City Council, received at a hearing on 07.06.23, for a temporary suspension of our licence while the incident is investigated and reviewed in full.

“We are cooperating entirely with GMP and Manchester City Council to provide any information they require in relation to the incident.

“We’d like to reassure our customers and the community that this is an isolated incident. But nevertheless, the safety of our team, customers and the community is of the highest importance to us. As such, during this period of closure, we will be actively working with the authorities and relevant parties to review all policies and procedures in place at the premises.”

The Stockport farm supper club where you eat outside in the fields

Georgina Pellant Georgina Pellant

There’s a supper club on a community farm in Stockport where you can dine outside in the very fields where your food has grown.

Hosted by Manchester food waste cafe Open Kitchen in partnership with The Kindling Trust, the journey from plot to plate has never been shorter.

The pair have joined forces to celebrate local, seasonal and sustainably produced food in the most delicious way possible – with a three-course vegan menu designed to show off the organic produce grown at The Kindling Trust’s site in Woodbank Memorial Park.

The supper will be served outside in the fields as part of a unique ‘pop-up restaurant’ experience, accompanied by paired organic wines designed to complement each dish.

Full bar service will also be provided, with provisions made for cover from the ‘Manchester weather’ if required.

Corin Bell, Exec Director of Open Kitchen said, “Messages about sustainability can sometimes feel like
they are all about going without…. Don’t fly, don’t drive, etc.

“We want to focus on positive messages about sustainability, that focus on shifts in behaviour that are kinder to planet and people.

“The event with Kindling will showcase beautiful food and drink, and also be supporting local, sustainable, independent and ethical business, all of which are really core values for both open Kitchen and Kindling”.

Chris Walsh from the Kindling Trust said: “Events like fine dining in the fields are really important to us,
because they open up the farm to members of the public, and help to really bring the message home
about why local and sustainable produce is so important for our planet and our local economy”.
