Life may be on pause for the next few weeks, but Salvi’s Deli is well and truly #StillServingMCR and is inviting Mancunians to “grab a small slice of Neapolitan life during lockdown”.
Salvi’s Deli – which is housed in the Corn Exchange in the heart of the city centre, and is just one arm of the iconic Manchester brand – is “bursting at the seems” with the very best, hand selected, imported produce from Italy.
Visitors will be greeted by the one and only Roberto – a true Salvi’s legend who has been at the Deli helm since the very beginning – who will talk through the varied and 100%-authentic Italian line-up on offer.
The meat section is fully-stocked with the highest-quality Pancetta, Prosciutto, Guanciale, Porchetta and Bresaola from Parma, and is headlined by the deliciously spicy N’duja from the Calabria region, and the cheese section is led by the exquisitely juicy, creamy and ever-so-slightly slightly sour Mozzarella di Bufala from the Campania region, and backed up by a mouthwatering selection of the finest Scamorza, Pecorino and Parmesan.
The Deli is also packed full of assorted pastas, sauces, homemade pesto, wines, beers, Italian aperitivo drinks, and fresh Cannoli made from authentic goats’ ricotta.

Customers can trust that each and every Deli purchase made is quality assured.
Not only has Salvi’s been awarded the prestigious Ospitalita Italiana Award twice, but the majority of the products on offer are also DOP stamped – which means Denominazione di Origine Protetta (literally “Protected Designation of Origin”) and is a guarantee food has been made in a specific Italian region by local farmers and artisans using traditional methods – to verify authenticity.

Speaking on the adapted takeout service during lockdown, Maurizio Cecco – owner of Salvi’s Manchester – said: “We love our customers, they are just like family to us and right now, we want to give something back.
“When our doors are open, they are really open and we want anyone who is struggling or just needs to see a friendly face to come down to the Deli, have a look around, buy some delicious Italian produce,
“But most of all, walk away with a smile on their face.”

Legendary landlady of The Peveril of the Peak pub has passed away
Daisy Jackson
Nancy Swanick, the legendary landlady behind Manchester’s much-loved Peveril of the Peak pub, has died.
The pub shared a statement today to confirm that Nancy, 96, who was the pub’s landlady for more than 55 years, passed away earlier this week.
She’s become something of an icon across the UK and was the oldest and longest-serving landlady in the country.
The Peveril of the Peak – or simply The Pev, to most of us – had just been named the best pub in the UK earlier this week.
The Pev has now assured fans that the pub will remain in the Swanick family, even without Nancy at its helm.
They said in their touching statement: “We will continue to cherish it as we did Nancy.”
In their full statement, The Peveril of the Peak wrote: “We are sad to say that our beloved Nancy, landlady for over 55 years, passed away peacefully on 28th July.
New croissants-by-day, pizza-by-night cafe and bar opens in Altrincham

A new food and drink concept is opening its doors in Altrincham today, serving perfect personal-sized pizzas by night, and coffee and croissants by day.
The much-loved Irish Deli has sadly closed its doors, but the team are immediately rolling in a brand-new concept for the town.
Under one roof, Paddy’s will be the new home of Flakey (famed for their enormous, filled sweet and savoury croissants) as well as a pizza and cocktail bar.
The two concepts will share the cosy space beside Kennedy’s Irish Bar, right in the heart of Altrincham.
Customers will be able to pop in Monday to Sunday to pick up Flakey’s stuffed croissants, along with speciality coffee and matcha.
There’ll be savoury fillings like the Buff Italian (vegetable caponata, buffalo mozzarella, and pesto) and the New Yorker (Emmental, pastrami, sauerkraut and pickles), plus sweet options like the Sticky BC (vanilla Basque cheesecake and Biscoff).

By night, Paddy’s will take the stage, named after the former Irish terrier of the owner’s grandmother.
These individually-sized, handcrafted pan-pizzas will be loaded with toppings like the Paddy’s Pep with chilli and burrata, and The Dubliner with Irish sausage and pickled red onion.
During opening week (30 July – 2 August) Paddy’s is offering 50% off all pizzas for guests at Kennedy’s between the hours of 3pm-5pm.
Owners, Dan Mullen and John Kennedy said: “We’ve designed it to evolve throughout the day – start with coffee and croissants, come back for pizza, and stay for a pint or a cocktail. It’s one site, two distinct food experiences, and neither compromises the other.
“Two brands sharing one building with completely different moods, and we think Altrincham is going to love both. Our goal is to create a venue that’s full of life from open til close.”
Ahead of opening, Paddy’s is hosting a pizza hunt, where twenty branded Pizza-Pan boxes will be hidden around Altrincham, each containing a voucher, t-shirt, drinks voucher or – for the lucky few – a “pizza for life” keyring. Clues will be revealed daily on Instagram, with finders posting under #PaddysPizzaHunt to claim their prize and a free pizza on opening night.
