Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant - 19th October 2021

Jägermeister is bringing four days “caffeine-fuelled entertainment” to the heart of the Northern Quarter this week.

Jägermeister Cold Brew is partnering with Foundation Coffee House on Lever Street for the four-day takeover from Wednesday 20 – Saturday 23 October, which will see the well-loved city centre cafe rebranded as the ‘Jäger Coffee Haus’ to serve up complimentary specialty coffee for guests from 7:30am until close.

Not only that, but customers keen to try a caffeine-charged tipple will also get a complimentary mighty mini Jägermeister Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur to take home, along with a bag of Jägermeister Coffee Haus blend beans from the giant coffee bean dispenser as well.

And then, from 5pm, the Jäger Coffee Haus will add some extra-special Jägermeister Cold Brew and Cold Brew cocktails to its menu as the perfect fuel to a series of nighttime events.

Manchester steakhouse Gaucho is serving a bottomless brunch with non-stop wine and cocktails

Georgina Pellant Georgina Pellant

Manchester has a new three-course bottomless brunch offer, and it sounds like an absolute beast of a deal – with premium cuts of steak, unlimited starters, and an hour and a half of free-flowing drinks.

Launched by Argentine steakhouse pros Gaucho, the new bottomless deal gives diners 90 minutes to indulge in drinks like citrus negronis, pornstar martinis, spritzes, lager and wine, with a choice of red, white and rose.

Spanning three courses and 90 minutes of drinks, starter dishes are unlimited whilst main highlights include Gaucho’s cuts of free-range Aberdeen Angus beef, reared on the flat grasslands of the Pampas. Think premium wet-aged sirloin with chimichurri and French fries and spiral-cute churrasco de cuadril marinated in garlic, parsley and olive oil.

On the unlimited starters menu, you’ll find a mouthwatering selection of morcilla, chorizo and picante rojo sausage with a lemon aioli, a selection of empanadas, beetroot ceviche with nasturtium and mango nectar, plus prawn tostadas on Arepa bread.

Greater Manchester chocolatier Slattery’s is selling a Hacienda-inspired Easter egg

Georgina Pellant Georgina Pellant

Greater Manchester chocolatier Slattery’s is selling a Hacienda-inspired Easter egg, and it looks absolutely brilliant.

Featuring an Acid House smiley face in The Factory’s signature black and yellow stripes, a green bucket hat, silver music notes and a Brit Pop-style electric guitar emblazoned in the Union Jack, Slattery’s has really gone all out this year.

The special Madchester Easter egg also features Oasis’s debut 1997 album Definitely Maybe, although the Whitefield-based chocolatiers told The Manc that customers can opt to request a different album cover on their egg if they prefer.

Priced at £21 each, the edible work of art is made of milk chocolate and decorated with edible icing to create the effects of the album covers, bucket hats and other nostalgic Madchester memorabilia.

It is available to purchase in person from the Whitefield chocolatier’s store, and customers can also place orders for collection closer to the Easter weekend if they prefer.

However, it is not available through the online shop as due to its delicate nature the Hacienda-inspired egg is not able to be delivered by courier.

The family-run Slattery Patissier and Chocolatier is one of Greater Manchester’s absolute go to’s for a sweet treat, spanning three floors and attracting visitors from far and wide.

Based in Whitefield, Bury, it’s so much more than a cake shop: selling everything from handmade Belgian chocolate, freshly-made cream cakes, tarts, pastries, tortes and gateaux, all made fresh each morning, plus chocolate novelties, bars and gifts ranging from Easter eggs to chocolate lollies, discs and tubs, plus a dedicated vegan chocolate range.
