A new bottomless brunch has landed in Manchester featuring breakfast bahn mi, big boy English and Gujarati fry-ups, non-stop pints and bloody Marys.
Launched by New Century, the historic music venue at NOMA that is also home to an impressively large bar and street food kitchen, the offering kicks off for the first time on Saturday 15 July.
Priced at £30 a head, for that diners will be treated to 90 minutes of non-stop drinks and a brunch plate of their choice from one of the kitchen’s independent street food traders.
As part of the offering, each trader has worked to create a special brunch dish from around the world – meaning that the menu here is probably one of the most eclectic bottomless brunches you’ll find in Manchester.
Vietnamese favourites Banh Vi have created two delicious takes on the traditional baguette, stuffed with either pan-fried folded spinach omelette or smoked portobello Mushrooms with herbs and chilli. Both are served on a warm demi baguette with spicy ketchup.

Elsewhere, you’ll find a hearty Full Indian courtesy of The Spice Yard featuring a masala omelette, spicy baked beans, crispy potatoes, onion bhaji, and Indian bread with chilli butter, and a twist on the classic bacon sandwich made with Indian bread, sweet chilli sauce, salad and a garam masala and coriander dressing.
Add to that the Poha, a traditional Indian breakfast made with flattened rice cakes and potato tossed in mustard seeds, curry leaves, and topped with peanuts, then tell us you’re not getting hungry.

There’s more, still, with Wild by Ply serving herby tomato bruschetta and a tempting antipasti Board featuring toasted focaccia, Italian deli meats and cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes, grilled artichokes and mozzarella cheese.
And for those craving something quintessentially British, it has to be the Tallow Full English made with Frosty’s Grandma’s sausage, crispy smoked streaky bacon, homemade ham hock black pudding, crumpet, hash brown, spicy baked beans, butter roasted portobello mushroom, plum tomato and a fried egg.

Tallow is also serving a Bacon, Sausage and Egg Crumpet for those traditionalists who find themselves craving something a little lighter.
As for drinks, these come in two tiers with the likes of prosecco and house lager flowing freely for 90 minutes as part of the basic £30 price.
If you want to go all-out, though, you can opt to upgrade to breakfast cocktails for an additional £5 – well worth it for unlimited Mimosas, Bloody Marys, Bellinis, Espresso Martinis and Breakfast Martinis
New Century’s bottomless brunch will take place every Friday from 12-4PM, and every Saturday and Sunday from 10AM-4PM.

Places for bottomless brunch must be booked via email and guests will have the table for two hours.

A groundbreaking new multi-use entertainment and leisure venue is coming to Manchester
Danny Jones
A new multi-purpose food, drink, entertainment and leisure destination is coming to Manchester city centre and the Salford border this autumn, and you won’t find many places that roll so much into one spot.
Mancs, get ready to welcome ‘Tangerine’.
Conceived by an impressive collective of local creatives, indies and those with plenty of experience catering to the Northern masses, Tangerine is promising everything from multiple resident kitchens, a live music hall, an arthouse stage, a specialist martini bar and more.
Better yet, after a year in the making and quietly chipping away at the striking space, it opens later this month, so you don’t have to wait long to try it for yourselves.
Located on New Bailey Street, just on the edge of Spinningfields and Salford Central, this groundbreaking new venue features two main platforms (utilising the integrated charm of the historic railway arches), each boasting its own selection of attractions.
While platform one will offer a bakery, coffee roastery, wine store and bottle ship, the ‘Canteen Club’ and even a florist, number two will contain the music hall, arthouse stage and the stylish ‘Grand Departures’ bar – serving seven espresso martini alone – Tangerine will deliver a seamless day to night transition.
Arguably, however, the centrepiece is the ‘Cantina Collective’. The food and drink hall promises seven in-house kitchens, showcasing a variety of cuisines.
The opening line-up already confirmed includes Vanda: a family-run Parisian-inspired Ukrainian bakery; Mexican taqueria, PANTERA, burger joint Juicy, as well as Yo Dutchie (a unique fusion of Dutch-Japanese food) and a new Korean/ramen concept from local sushi favourites, Unagi.
Our stomachs are already grumbling just thinking about it.

Designed not only by the brains behind Northern Quarter’s beloved Mala hidden garden but WANT STUDIOS, who will be ensuring local artists, independents, and traders will be regularly spotlighted, the site will boast a capacity of well over 300 people.
Artyom Dmitrijev, owner of Tangerine and Mala, said in a statement: “Over a year in the making, we’ve used all our experience in design, interiors, architecture and hospitality to create our dream project. A place for all the independents to come together and thrive.”
Andy Windsor, Director of WANT STUDIOS, added: “Tangerine unites the city’s independent kitchens, bar tenders, bakeries and entertainment specialists. It is a unique showcase of what we do in the city. This is a new space for creativity, food, and culture, and we’re proud to be part of it.”
Debuting to the public with a big Halloween weekender on the evening of Friday, 31 October, with another launch event the following Saturday, you can sign up for exclusive early access for free, which could see you score a few freebies to boot.
