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.

Singer-songwriter James Blunt is heading back out on tour next year, and has announced a massive Manchester gig as part of his run of arena shows.
The singer, perhaps best-known for his iconic 2005 pop ballad ‘You’re Beautiful’, is hitting the road again in 2027.
The newly-announced European tour is in celebration of his new album Airplane Mode, which is set for release this autumn.
James Blunt will kick off his tour in Leeds next spring, before heading over for a night at the almighty Co-op Live in Manchester.
Then he’ll head to more cities including Newcastle, Birmingham and London.
His new album, Airplane Mode, is being released on 6 November and will, according to his press release, be ‘exhilarating’.
James has already released the first single, ‘Tastes Like Summer’, and ‘Weight Of It All’, with 10 more songs to come on the record.
Airplane Mode was recorded with James’ brilliant long-standing live band, who’ll be back on tour with him next year.
Speaking of the new album, and recording in Pig Music Studios, he said: “Somewhere back there, I lost my way, but found it again in a studio in Banbury.”
James Blunt will be at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester on 3 April, 2027. Tickets go on sale from 10am on 9 September.
Major pop star crowns humble rice and three cafe as ‘Jewel of Manchester’ ahead of sold-out gig

A beloved city centre takeaway has been given the title of ‘Jewel of Manchester’ by chart-topping UK singer Sam Smith.
Known for hits like ‘Stay With Me’, ‘I’m Not The Only One’ and more recently ‘Unholy’, UK pop-ballad act Sam Smith also likes to drop a food review every once in a while.
Currently on the road with a run of shows in Manchester and London for their ‘To Be Free’ live shows, Sam Smith is stopping off at some of our city’s much-loved spots.
On their food-reviewing account titled ‘Sam Served’, where they adopt the aptly-fitting nickname ‘Ham Smith’, Sam has visited restaurants across the globe – and most recently turned their attention to Manchester’s own This & That.
Smith decided to pop in and grab a cheeky rice and three from long-standing backstreet food business This & That, and it certainly went down a treat.
After sampling their amazing selection of meat, vegetable and vegan curries, the musician crowned this family-run Indian takeaway a ‘Jewel of Manchester’.
The hitmaker described this Northern Quarter Indian eatery as ‘Everything food should be’ and definitely enjoyed all the curries on offer ‘leaving belly and heart full’.
This & That prides itself on affordable and comforting food with its ‘Rice and Three Curries’ starting from just £6 – not bad for a city centre foodie spot.
Sam has racked up an impressive 490k followers via their ‘Sam Served’ profile, with famous faces like Lily Allen, Denise Welch and CMAT all wanting to know the superstar’s foodie thoughts.
After enjoying a curry or three, Sam Smith also made sure to feed their soul to by venturing down to Afflecks and getting lost in the music at Mars Tapes.
Recognised as one of the UK’s only cassette and tape shops, Mars Tapes lets you flick through their crates of physical media and even preview tracks before you buy with its dedicated listening areas.
It’s safe to say that Smith has ‘Latched’ onto Manchester’s independent business scene and we’re here for it.
The London-born artist has just released their latest album Hazel Eyes and is currently amid a UK residency tour with two dates in Manchester’s Albert Hall and eight shows set for London Coliseum.
