One of Manchester’s favourite curry houses has just introduced a bottomless curry menu, and we’re all here for it.
Costing just £20 a head, for that you’ll get to enjoy endless plates of curry, with freshly baked naans and rice and an alcoholic drink of your choice – be that beer, wine, a gin and tonic, or a cocktail – at Zouk Tea Bar & Grill.
There will be a choice of eight different curries on offer, all varying in spice levels with a mix of veggie and meat options to ensure that everyone can get stuck in no matter their dietary requirements.
The deal has been introduced to celebrate National Curry Week, which runs from 3 to 9 October. Each day between 3 and 6, the restaurant will serve a different menu of curries to keep diners on their toes.

On Monday, guests can expect to find vegetarian chole masala (a tangy curry made with chickpeas) and Zouk’s chicken karahi, a dish that is believed to originate from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, formerly the northern frontier of Pakistan.
Then on Tuesday, the restaurant will dish up bottomless plates of chicken jalfrezi and tarka dal (a popular north Indian dish made with split chickpeas or other dried split pulses).
Come Wednesday, Zouk will then round things off with a rich spinach and chicken curry. For vegetarians and vegans, meanwhile, its chefs will be cooking up aloo palak, a super simple yet hearty dish of fried spinach and potato with a low spice level.
Drinks-wise, guests are welcome to order any drink they like from Zouk’s list – with the chance to opt for one of its fabulous cocktails, wines, beers or spirit mixers.
In order to get the deal, diners need to book in advance through Zouk’s website and make the note ‘bottomless’ on the booking to alert the restaurant that they want to dine on the offer.
Nostalgic ready-to-drink Breezer makes UK return after a decade
Daisy Jackson
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
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.
