A restaurant in Manchester is giving away free roast dinners for dogs, and we are just a little bit obsessed with how cute it all is.
Peruvian-inspired cantina Peru Perdu on Princess street has created a bottomless Sunday roast menu with unlimited drinks – and they’re even throwing in a free roast dinner for your furry friends.
Yes, really.
The restaurant puts a South American spin on the traditional Sunday roast, offering a choice of blackened Pollo La Brasa chicken, Picanha roast beef (one of the great stars of the churrasco dinner), or vegan chimichurri cauliflower with truffle gravy.

Served with all the trimmings, think giant Yorkshire puddings, crispy roast potatoes, carrots and more winter veg, all presented on large wooden boards alongside a huge jug filled with lashings of gravy.

And when you dine in with a friend, they’ll even treat your pooch to a roast, too – completely on the house. It’s no dog’s dinner, either, there’s a choice of beef or chicken served with veggies and bone gravy.
As if we needed any more encouragement, the menu also offers a selection of bottomless drinks for a set price. Think 90 minutes of endless bloody marys, pisco sours and pornstar martinis.

They really have thought of everything here.

Inside the restaurant itself, it all feels very fresh and modern.
Snazzy muted pink interiors combine with bright prints, vibrant textiles and lush foliage to create a cool, contemporary feel that transports you far away from Manchester – for the duration of your meal, at least.

An open kitchen, meanwhile, gives you a direct view into what the chef’s are up to – and you can even sit right up there at the pass if you want to get a full taste of the action.
The rest of the week you’ll find an all-day menu here serving ceviche and raw dishes, empanadas, U.W.A steak cuts including Chilean wagyu cooked on lava stones, and a selection of large plates like churrasco sea bass, braised duck leg and more.
The bottomless Sunday roast with a free meal for your dog is available from 12 to 5pm every Sunday. The rest of the week the restaurant is open from Wednesday to Sunday, serving its menu all day from lunchtime well into the evening.

Independent review into police actions during Manchester synagogue terror attack finds ‘no misconduct’
Emily Sergeant
An independent review into the terror attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall last week has concluded there was ‘no misconduct’ by the police.
The investigation was carried out by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) following the shocking knife and car attack, which took place last Thursday 2 October on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue.
Two men sadly lost their lives during the attack – Adrian Daulby, 53, who is believed to have been shot dead by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) while trying to stop the attacker from entering the synagogue, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, a worshipper who also helped stop the attacker.
The attacker has been named as 35-year-old Jihad al Shamie – a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent who lived in Prestwich – who at the time was on bail for an alleged rape, before being shot dead by police.

The IOPC says its investigation is ‘mandatory’ in situations where police use of force may have resulted in the death of a member of the public.
Their investigation looked at the actions and decision-making of the officers involved in the incident.
“Over the coming days, we will continue to review the substantial amount of evidence gathered up to now, and will begin the process of obtaining more detailed statements from police witnesses,” the IOPC said in a statment.
GMP’s Chief Constable, Sir Stephen Watson, says he ‘welcomes’ the IOPC’s finding that no misconduct is apparent in the actions required of officers in ‘bringing this dreadful attack to an end’.

He said in a statement addressing the matter: “Our thoughts will always be with the families and loved ones of those directly affected by this tragedy together with the wider community across Greater Manchester and beyond. Our significant presence and determination to protect everyone from all faith communities across our city region will continue unabated.”
With the IOPC’s investigation into the incident still ongoing, CC Watson assured ‘GMP is committed to openness, transparency, and candour’.
“In respect of all our previous dealings with [al Shamie], and we have therefore asked the IOPC to include this aspect in their ongoing review,” CC Watson continued.
“This includes previous reports of harassment, and an arrest for reports of rape over the past year, for which he was on bail at the time of the attack.”

Manchester nightclub clamps down on no-phones policy after ‘disappointing’ rule breakers
Daisy Jackson
Amber’s, a nightclub in Manchester with a strict no-filming policy inside, has shared a strict new set of rules to prevent people using their phones.
The venue says it’s seen an ‘increased amount of phones on the dance floor’ despite its very clear policy against such a thing.
That’s included a recent set from Fred Again, where videos of his show were all over social media the next day.
Amber’s has said it’s ‘disappointing’ to see people flouting the rules of the space, leading to the venue introducing a zero tolerance policy.
Fans who are caught filming on their phones will be asked to leave Amber’s on the spot – no second chances.
There’ll even be extra members of staff patrolling the venue, to protect the ‘vibe of the space’.
“If you are spotted at any point across the night using your phone to record, you will no longer be permitted inside Amber’s,” they shared.
Amber’s wrote in a statement today: “Since our launch back in December, we have made it very clear that we are a No Phones venue. We want to create an experience for everyone where they are present in the moment and not distracted by phones.
“While the majority of people that attend Amber’s keep their phones away, there are a select few that don’t.
“This is of course disappointing.
“Over the recent weeks and months, we have seen an increased amount of phones filming on the dancefloor and we are aware of numerous videos shot on phone appearing online.
“To those that come to Amber’s and respect our house rules, thank you, you are contributing to an incredible vibe in the room.
“For those that don’t, we ask that you think about the space and the people around you before removing your stickers.
“The rules previously have been that if you are seen filming on your phone, you are politely asked to stop, if you are seen again, you are asked to leave the venue.
“From now on, as a renewed pledge to our No Phones policy, if you are seen recording in the venue, you will be asked to leave, there will be no second chances.
“There will now be extra members of staff patrolling the venue, ensuring that the vibe of the space is protected and if you are spotted at any point across the night using your phone to record, you will no longer be permitted inside Amber’s.
“Open your mind. Honour the concept. Respect the space.”
