A glamorous Chinese restaurant in Manchester has launched a new bottomless brunch and, by our calculations, it might just be one of the most expensive in the world.
Glitterati favourite Tattu, based in Spinningfields, has revealed the menu for its new Sunday event a Tribe of Tattu brunch – set to run on every bank holiday in April and May – ahead of its launch on 30 April.
Frequented by celebs such as Coleen and Wayne Rooney, Michelle Keegan, Lucy Fallon and Stephanie Waring, the restaurant’s swanky new May bank holiday bottomless brunch offers guests three courses for £47.50, with more optional add-ons bringing its potential food total to a whopping £82.50.
Add on to that various drinks packages priced at £50, £28.50 and £20 respectively, and the most expensive option totals somewhere up to £115.50 and £132.50 a head.
The steep price puts Tattu’s brunch firmly amongst the world’s ten most expensive bottomless brunches, outstripping the Michelin-starred Blue Bay brunch in Monaco with bottomless glasses of Moët et Chandon vintage 2013 (£120), and The Waldorf Astoria’s famous bottomless brunch in New York (£100).

Dish choices, that said, do sound stunning. Options on Tattu’s new brunch menu include the likes of chicken truffle shumai, tuna sashimi blossom and salt & pepper loin ribs for starters, followed by mains of red snapper tom yum or wok fired chicken and steamed jasmine.
Optional ‘stage two’ menu add-ons, meanwhile, include a mouthwatering caramel soy-aged black wagyu beef fillet (£18), and Shanghai black cod with hoisin, ginger and lime(£17).
The brunch is then finished off with a stunning ‘Cherry Blossom’ dessert with white chocolate, cherry and candyfloss, bringing the restaurant’s famous sakura trees to life on the plate.
Drinks packages are then added on separately, with the most expensive option – a freely flowing champagne package of Laurent Perrier Brut – priced at £50 per person.
Alternatively, guests can opt for the signature package offering a selection of non-stop cocktails including Skull Candy (Crystal Head vodka, candy and lemon) and Koko Tattu (Bacardi, coconut and lime) for £28.60 per person.
There is also a non-alcoholic bottomless drinks package on offer with two virgin mocktails – a virgin Mountain Spritz (Everleaf Mountain, Lavender and bubbles) and Sweet Skullduggery (Kiwi, blueberry and apple) – to choose from.
Running at Tattu on Bank holiday Sundays throughout April and May, the menu does not state how long the drinks packages run for.
However, staff at Tattu told The Manc that it all depends on how big your group is: so a table of two would enjoy 1 hour and 45 minutes of endless drinks, whilst a table of three or four would be given two hours of bottomless booze ‘and so on’.

Asked how long a larger group of eight would be given to enjoy their endless champagne or cocktails, The Manc was informed it would be 2 hours and 45 minutes.

Viral chicken shop Wingstop is opening inside the Manchester Arndale
Daisy Jackson
Wingstop, the chicken shop famed for its vast range of wing flavours and sauces, is opening another spot in Manchester city centre.
The brand will be taking over the old Yo Sushi site in the Manchester Arndale, which shut down just last month.
It’ll mean there’ll be two Wingstop locations within a few minutes’ walk of each other, with another takeaway already well-established on Piccadilly Gardens.
Wingstop UKI has found viral fame with people taste-testing its wide range of hand-sauced chicken wing flavours, ranging from garlic parmesan all the way up to the eye-watering ‘Atomic’.
As well as chicken wings, it serves delicious tenders and burgers, all cooked to order.
There are also a range of sides, including loaded fries, sweet potato fries, and cajun fried corn, plus dips like ranch, honey mustard, and blue cheese.
Wingstop is also famed for its thick milkshakes – which are a necessity if you order your chicken down the spicier end of the scale.
Established in Texas in 1994, Wingstop rose rapidly to become one of the fastest-growing restaurant chains in the US.
The brand launched in the UK market in 2018, and into Ireland last year, and now operates more than 85 locations.
Wingstop is opening in Manchester Arndale
Wingstop will be moving into the 5,928 sq ft unit upstairs in Manchester Arndale, just opposite Next.
Scott Linard, Portfolio Manager for M&G Real Estate, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Wingstop to our vibrant F&B offer; an addition we’re sure will resonate with our younger visitors.
“With the additions of popular restaurant chains like Wingstop, coupled with the arrival of new retailers such as Arc’teryx, Alo Yoga, Pro:Direct and Sephora, we are strategically creating a destination where people across the North West and beyond want to spend their time.”
Steve Gray, Head of European Retail Asset Management at Global Mutual, said: “Wingstop will join Manchester Arndale’s varied F&B mix, including Popeyes, Sides, Hotel Chocolat, Joe & The Juice and Café Nero.
“In-demand operators like this help create energy and momentum that allows the brands across the scheme to thrive, driving increased footfall, longer dwell times and a more compelling offer for visitors.”
The best cheese tasting party in the North is BACK at a new Manchester venue
Danny Jones
That’s right, one of the biggest and best cheese tasting nights in the entire land is returning to Greater Manchester at a brand new city centre venue.
Not to be over-the-top, but this isn’t just another experience sampling possibly the greatest foodstuff on Earth, it’s a fully-fledged cheese-lovers’ party.
Some of you may have come across Homage2Fromage before, but for anyone unaware of the Yorkshire-born event, it started out as a monthly cheese tasting club and went on to expand across the dairy-adoring North at large.
Relaunching here in Manchester for 2026, all you lactose-intolerant people better watch, because Home2Fromage is coming back with a vengeance and heading to the Northern Quarter. Here’s how it went down the last time we visited one in Leeds:
Leeds, Sheffield, Harrogate, Manchester and who knows where else next.
Posting up in a relatively recent addition to NQ‘s bar and restaurant scene, The Faraday – a pub on Lever St that replaces the old Seven Sins back in October – it looks set to be an ideal venue for the regular evening series.
Homage2Fromage will be making its Manc return this month, and better still, they’re holding a cheeky little giveaway to sweeten the pot.
As in the deal, we mean – not the inevitable bowls full of olives, chutney, oil and various other dips…
To welcome this celebration of all things cheese coming back to Manchester city centre, they’re giving away a bunch of free tickets: 20 pairs in total.
Worth over £50 a piece for each twin set of tickets, you’d be a fool not to at least throw your hat in the ring for this one.
As you can see, the competition closes this Thursday, 19 February, ahead of the full relaunch party next week (Wed, 25 Feb), and all you have to do to enter is fill out this super quick survey.
It really is as simple as that; a few quick words are all that stand between you and a potential mountain of cheese and more.
You can find all you need to know about the event right HERE, and in case you haven’t popped into The Faraday just yet, see more down below.
It’s still somewhat early days, but we can see ourselves spending a fair bit of time in this up-and-coming Manchester watering hole, especially when there’s cheese nights involved.
