Pieminister’s legendary pie bottomless brunch with free-flowing drinks is finally making a comeback from next week.
The popular pie restaurant chain – which has two sites here in Manchester city centre on Church Street in the Northern Quarter, and on Deansgate – is known and loved all across the UK for its thick and chunky pies.
And now finally, after countless calls from foodies, the chain‘s beloved bottomless brunch is set to return to our city from next week… and we are so absolutely here for it.
Pies dished up in any Pieminister restaurant are typically served on a bed of hot and creamy mashed potatoes, with the option to choose from several vegetable sides and accompaniments of crispy onions, cheddar cheese, and more, all before they are topped-off by being slathered in homemade gravy.
But, as part of the bottomless brunch offering kicking off on Saturday 13 April, you can add non-stop cocktails and pints to the party too.

Thankfully, whether you’re a meat lover, a veggie, vegan, flexitarian, or gluten free, there’s something to suit everyone on the returning bottomless brunch lineup, with a selection of all the best Pieminister pies from the menu to take your pick from.
There’s the ‘Mooless Moo’ jackfruit ‘steak’-like pie with craft ale and black pepper, the ever-popular ‘Kevin’ Chestnut mushroom, tomato, quinoa, baby onion, and red wine option, plus the ‘Wild Shroom’ or ‘Heidi’ pies for veggies, whilst meat eaters can tuck into the likes of the ‘Free Ranger’ chicken, ham, and leek pie, the ‘Fungi Chicken’, the classic British beef and ale pie ‘Moo’, the ‘Moolin Rouge’ with steak and bacon, the ‘Moo & Blue’ with beef and Cropwell Bishop stilton, or the ‘Kate and Sidney’.

The Mooless Moo, Moo, and Free Ranger can all be made as gluten free pies as well for an additional 50p.
You’ll choose your pie, then opt for either the ‘pick of the brunch’ deal – which comes with any award-winning pie, one side, and gravy for £27 – or alternatively, you can opt for the ‘Mother of all brunches’ for £30, which includes pie, mash, minty mushy peas, cheddar cheese, crispy onions, and gravy.

And, of course, you’ll be able to grab two hours of unlimited drinks with both of these options.

Prosecco, mimosas, draught pints, Aperol spritz, passion fruit martinis, espresso martinis, and select soft drinks are just some of the bottomless drinks you can sip on.
The Pieminister bottomless brunch will be available every Saturday (and bank holiday Sunday) from next Saturday 13 April 2024.
Popular Manchester restaurant bar to give out FREE sausage rolls to people called ‘Greg’

One of Manchester’s much-loved restaurant bars is doing a free sausage roll giveaway next week… but there’s a catch.
The catch being you have to have a certain name in particular.
It was only last week that popular high street chain Pret A Manger announced it would be slinging out free sandwiches to any Mancs with ‘Nic’ in their name over the late May bank holiday weekend, and now Tariff & Dale is getting it on the giveaway action, and it’s all to celebrate the iconic event that is National Sausage Roll Day.
In case you didn’t know – which is very likely, let’s be real – next Thursday (5 June) is the day dedicated to all things sausage roll.
So what better way to mark the occasion than with free portions of Tariff & Dale‘s legendary meaty treat?
The popular Northern Quarter restaurant bar is known for its creative comfort food, craft beers and cocktails, and laid-back industrial vibe, with one of the cult-classic dishes on its menu having always been the honey pork sausage roll – which just so happens to be a whopping 15-inches long, by the way.
Resembling something more of a pork wellington than a sausage roll, if you will, the dish is crispy, golden, and glazed with honey on top.
But to celebrate National Sausage Roll day, instead of parting with £9.50 for a portion or £48 for the full 15-inch thing, people with one specific name can actually get a slice for completely free of charge.

And that name is ‘Greg’, because if we’re honest, when it comes to sausage rolls, we all tend to think of Greggs.
So whether your surname is Gregory or Gregson, or you’re simply just called Greg, then all you need to do to claim your complimentary slice of sausage roll heaven is head on down to Tariff & Dale next Thursday 5 June from 12pm up until 9pm.
Make sure you show your valid ID proving your name when you order at the bar, and get ready to stuff your face.
Failing that, anyone not called Greg will just have to pop into actual Greggs instead.

Plans to open a brand-new pub on the site of the Rovers Return
Daisy Jackson
A brand-new pub is set to open in Manchester city centre net month, with treats in store like complimentary bowls of crisps, an outdoor terrace, and a games parlour.
The Stables Tavern is taking shape in the St John’s district, poetically on the same site that was once home to Coronation Street’s iconic Rovers Return pub.
They’re promising this will be a ‘historic tavern reimagined for today’s lover of a proper pint’.
The pub will come from Shiko Group, which is also behind Courts Club, where you can play tennis or basketball followed by court-side pints, and Side Street, a bar-restaurant-events space with a mid-Century interior.
Neighbouring the Bonded Warehouse, The Stables Tavern will join this rapidly blossoming new creative district, just across the yard from Caravan, The Trading Route and Aviva Studios.
Inside, punters will find multiple beer taps with local beers, served with complimentary bowls of crisps as well as a menu of pub snacks like handmade sausage rolls and local pies.
The pub will be split into three sections – an outside terrace, a main bar, and a parlour area at the back of the pub for live entertainment, old school games, and rounds of whiskey.
This might be a new district but it’s a historic area for the city – the same building was a busy watering hole back in the early 19th century for workers, merchants and visitors who made use of the nearby canals and cobbled streets.
It was then the home of the Rovers Return, back when this area was the home of Granada Studios.
Hayley Sammé, Marketing Director, said: “We’re so excited to bring The Stables Tavern back to St John’s. The area’s extensive historical backdrop and burgeoning hospitality scene provides the perfect landscape for a traditional British pub.
“It’s the perfect addition to the existing scene, and we hope it’s going to become a popular spot in our new creative district.”
The Stables Tavern will open at St John’s on Friday 6 June.
