One of the region’s best-loved Chinese restaurants is serving up endless bao buns, salt n pepper specials, handmade cocktails, and so much more this summer.
WowYauChow is the home of “the first Chinese bottomless brunch in Manchester”.
The popular Altrincham eatery has gone down a treat with locals and foodies alike after opening its doors in the heart of the Trafford town on Stamford New Road, and is known for its eclectic menu of British Chinese favourites, alongside a Chinese street food twist – but it’s the bottomless brunch that really steals the show.
The endless lunch option lets you tuck into all of your Chinese food and drink favourites for a full 90 minutes.
And prices start at an impressive £23.

So, what does the bottomless brunch actually consist of then?
Well, there’s a couple of options to take your pick from, with one of the most popular proving to be the option to create your own ‘Lunch Basket’, by choosing a dish from three sections – dumplings, bao buns, and rice / noodle bowls.

The brunch menu also includes a selection of tofu, pork & chive, and buffalo chicken wonton parcels, as well as bao buns filled with char siu pork, crispy chilli chicken, and more.
If a rice and noodle bowl sounds more up your street, then you can choose between options such as soya sauce chicken, steak black pepper, king prawn tang and garlic, cauliflower curry, salt n pepper tofu.
That’s not all either as the bottomless option doesn’t just stop at the food, and you can help yourself to a selection of cocktails, wines, and beers – including gin fizz, blushing dragon, prosecco, and Tsing Tao.

Fancy it then? You can pick from bottomless food available at £23, one lunch basket and bottomless drinks for £28, or bottomless food and drinks for just £33 with everything included.
The 90-minute bottomless brunches take place everyday in two sessions – 1pm and 3pm.
Plans to turn Stockport pyramid into Indian restaurant take MAJOR step forward
Daisy Jackson
The vision for Stockport pyramid’s new life as an Indian restaurant and banquet hall has taken a big step forward today – and we finally have CGIs to help bring it all to life.
Royal Nawaab has now been granted planning permission to convert the landmark building into a luxurious restaurant and banquet hall, set to open early next year.
Royal Nawaab has a couple of restaurants in London and is now setting its sights on the north, aiming to create its ‘biggest and most luxurious destination to date’.
The epic project will be geared up to host parties, banquets and huge events.
There are lavish refurbishment plans for the former office building, which looms over the M60.
When it opens, there’ll be a 350-capacity restaurant on the ground floor, plus three premium banquet facilities ranging between 150 and 700 covers.
News of Royal Nawaab’s takeover of the Stockport Pyramid broke last year and the curry house was initially tipped for a 2024 opening, but it seemed like things had stalled until this major step forward.
CGIs shared today show that the Stockport Pyramid will be transformed with luxury details like gold ceilings, marble floors and chandeliers.

Mahboob Hussain of Royal Nawaab said: “Living close to Stockport, the Pyramid has always been an iconic symbol of the town for me. It is unique and we are thrilled to be bringing Royal Nawaab Manchester.
“This is definitely not ‘a curry house’. Royal Nawaab will be a destination and will attract visitors from across the UK and beyond to experience the best cuisine in the most stunning of settings.
“The attention to detail is incredible, and I personally have been involved in the plans throughout. It is a dream come true, and I know that anyone that visits will be in awe.”
Cllr Colin Macalister, Cabinet Member for Economy and Regeneration at Stockport Council, said: “We’re thrilled to see the iconic Stockport Pyramid brought back to life with the fantastic Royal Nawaab joining our community! It’s an exciting addition to Stockport’s vibrant food and drink scene, all within one of our town’s most prominent landmarks.

“Bringing 150 new jobs and working with local suppliers, Royal Nawaab’s arrival is a strong vote of confidence in Stockport’s future as our £1 billion town centre regeneration continues to take shape. We can’t wait to see the Pyramid open its doors again and warmly welcome Royal Nawaab to Stockport.”
Fozia Alharby of Eamar Developments expressed, “Dr. Abdullah Alnaeem, the owner, is delighted to announce that Royal Nawaab will open at the Pyramid in 2025.
“As long-time admirers of the brand and its legacy in the South, we are honoured to play a role in bringing this exceptional destination to Stockport.
“We are delighted to be a part of this project, which will create a premium experience that we believe will resonate with visitors from across the UK and beyond.”
Foldies – Popular Manchester pizza joint to open ‘the world’s greatest sandwich shop’
Daisy Jackson
The team behind Manchester’s much-loved Brewski and American Pies have announced a brand-new concept.
They’re claiming that Foldies, which is opening in the city centre later this month, will be ‘the world’s greatest sandwich shop’.
The team are already the proud creators of Brewski, home of outrageous creations like the ‘batter platter‘ (which included chicken poutine butties, beef shin rag pudding and a katsu curry fondue) as well as their deep-dish pizzas over at American Pies.
They recently shifted American Pies from its spot on Mosley Street, right near the Manchester Art Gallery, to Cutting Room Square in Ancoats, leaving that prime site ready for a new concept.
Enter Foldies, where you’ll find stone-baked sandwiches filled with overnight slow-cooked or cured meats and sauces made in house daily.
These folded pizza-style butties will be ready in 60 seconds and they claim it’ll be ‘your first true sandwich love’.

The dough for the sandwiches will be made with double zero flour, proved for 12 hours before being folded and cooked on a stone at 400 degrees.
Foldies will also served breakfast sandwiches, with fillings including scrambled sage and cheddar egg, and bacon, nduja, egg and crumbled goat’s cheese.
At lunchtimes, there’ll be everything from mortadella and pistachio pesto to a ‘pizza dog’ with crispy onions, Korean BBQ and fries.
Foldies is set to open at 58 Mosley Street at the end of November, and will be open from 7.30am-11.30am for breakfast, and 11.30am-6pm for lunch.
They’re currently giving away a chance to win free sandwiches for a year too – you can see more on that HERE.
