A food hall in Manchester has launched a bottomless brunch menu spanning all five of its eateries, meaning you can tuck into everything from pizza and sushi to fried chicken and burgers whilst going bottomless at the bar – all under one roof.
Available at Society, located just off St Peter’s Square, the new bottomless brunch offer includes two hours of endless drinks from its massive selection of craft beers, not to mention prosecco, ciders, and cocktails like mimosas, Aperol spritz and bloody Marys.
Simply choose a dish from the indie street food trader of your choice, then get stuck into unlimited drinks from the bar by showing your meal receipt (and paying an extra £25) at the bar.

Right now, you’ll find the likes of Dokes pizza (from the team behind Elnecot), Yorkshire’s towering, hand-shaped Slap and Pickle burgers, and Indian street food heroes Chaat Cart in residence here – all slinging out proper tasty bits and pieces.
Personally, we’d recommend ordering the halloumi Frankie wrap from Chaat Cart as a must – served with gunpowder fries, it’s a crunchy, salty explosion of flavours that have stood the test of time, sticking around on Chaat Cart’s menu for at least six years now.

But that’s not all the choice you have, far from it.
There are also more dish options from Manzoku Street Food, which specialise in sushi and breaded Japanese katsu, and Yoki Social Table, which have made a name for themselves with their punchy bites of Korean Fried Chicken.

It’s a veritable bottomless feast.
Walk-ins only, there’s no need to book – in fact, you can’t. We recommend going with a group, ordering as much as you can, and sharing the lot so you get a real dive into everything on offer at Society.
There’s so much to choose from, this way you can explore it all – and for a bargain price at that.

The new Society bottomless brunch deal will be available at the food hall every weekend on Saturdays and Sundays between the hours of 12 and 4.30pm. The last orders are at 2.30pm.

A tiny new train station pub has opened at Manchester Oxford Road

A tiny craft beer pub has opened at Manchester Oxford Road, making all those inevitable train cancellations a little sweeter.
The new boozer comes from the same team behind some of the UK’s best train station pubs, who already have bars at Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria.
The Oxford Road Tap has plenty of charming nods to its proximity to the great British rail network.
There’s the big red National Rail sign that they’ve restored and turned into a beer tap, an arch over the bar that mimics the shape of the station, and even a departures board so you can work out how many more pints you can squeeze in.
You’ll find plenty of British craft beers behind the bar as well as a great selection of European lagers, plus spirits and wines.
The bar from Bloomsbury Leisure Holdings Limited has taken over the former cycle hub at Manchester Oxford Road.
The small building is directly opposite the entrance to the busy train station on the southern side of the city centre.

This will be the third site for the pub group in Manchester.
They already operate the Piccadilly Tap, that two-storey beer bar on Piccadilly Approach with a heated rooftop space and outdoor patio.
The team are also responsible for the more recently-opened Victoria Tap, which took over the former bin store at Manchester Victoria.
That particular pub has a heated beer garden constructed just inches away from where the trams tootle past and has a departures board where time is measured by pints (got 10 mins til your train leaves? That’s one pint, sir!)
Oslo-born Doug’s Hamburgers is opening in Manchester, serving adult ‘Happier Meals’

Critically acclaimed burger joint Doug’s is heading to Manchester for the first time, serving up grown-up ‘Happier Meals’.
The burger brand started life in Norway but is led by a very northern team – they’re also behind Madre, Medlock Canteen and London’s Breddos tacos.
Doug’s is an Oklahoma-style burger restaurant with a menu of classic burgers made with hand-pressed patties from premium dry-aged beef (it’s the thinly-sliced onions inside each patty that makes it Oklahama style).
A classic cheeseburger is the brand’s signature dish, featuring a smashed patty, onions, cheese, mustard, ketchup, pickles and Doug’s special sauce.
There’ll also be fried chicken sandwiches, hot tenders and fries, plus breakfast buns served all day.
The ‘Happier Meal’ is an adult twist on a fast food favourite – you get a burger, fries, and a martini.

Doug’s spot in Manchester will be its fourth restaurant.
It’s set to open on Oxford Road above the recently-announced Amber’s nightclub, open seven days a week from 11am until midnight.
The flagship restaurant on Oxford Road is designed by R2A studio and will be opening this December in Circle Square for eat in and take-out.
Doug’s is opening on Friday 20 December and will be handing out free burgers – just head down from 12pm to claim one.
