Red’s True BBQ is launching a bottomless brunch in Manchester

Diners can select any brunch menu dish and enjoy 90 minutes of unlimited selected drinks at the Lloyd Street barbecue den.

The Manc The Manc - 2nd September 2020

Red’s True BBQ Manchester has branched out into brunch – with the restaurant serving meaty fry-ups alongside free-flowing drinks from this weekend.

The Bottomless BBQ Brunch will take place on Sundays – offering flame-grilled enthusiasts the chance to tuck into any mid-morning dish and knock back unlimited drinks for 90 minutes.

Bookings at the Lloyd Street venue can be made online at a price of £29.95 per person.

Red’s True BBQ has also confirmed that its Manchester branch will continue its half-price grub originally offered as part of the Eat Out To Help Out scheme in August.

On specific days in September, customers will be able to enjoy 50% off their bill up to £10 per person.

Red’s confirmed the discount extension in a Facebook post.

“We’re keeping the EOHO scheme going throughout September but this time Red himself is paying!” said representatives.

“You’ll get the same awesome benefits as before with 50% off your food bill to a maximum of £10 per person.

“We’re moving the days to Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so you can still enjoy some epic midweek BBQ!”

Book a table online using the Red’s True BBQ website.

Nostalgic ready-to-drink Breezer makes UK return after a decade

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson Nostalgic ready-to-drink Breezer makes UK return after a decade

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 Daisy Jackson Drinks prices for Oasis at Heaton Park in Manchester

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.
