You can get pizzas from Rudy’s, American Pies and Double Zero for 6p on Deliveroo today

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant - 5th May 2021

How does 6p pizza sound for lunch today?

As mad as it sounds, this is no joke, as in honour of six successful years in Manchester, leading food delivery service Deliveroo has partnered with three of the rainy city’s most popular and best-loved pizza places to supply an exclusive range of discount meals in one of the biggest promotions it has ever run in the region.

Rudy’s, American Pies and Double Zero are all offering 6p dishes as part of these unmissable celebrations.

Iconic neapolitan pizzeria Rudy’s will be serving up a wide selection of its most popular pizzas for less than the price of a plastic bag, as will the city centre’s newest Chicago-style deep dish pizza joint, American Pies, and Chorlton’s cult-favourite, Double Zero.

In case you missed it, popular Manchester-based burger joints Solita, Yard & Coop, and Gourmet Burger Inc all kicked off the delivery service’s 6p birthday celebrations yesterday – and it’s safe to say it was a pretty popular event, with hungry Mancunians snapping up the day’s burger allocations in just under three minutes.

There’s only 200 pizzas available per restaurant today too, so you’ll need to be on it.

The selected dishes at each restaurant will be eligible for free delivery, and a service fee will be applied to each item (price varying depending on location).

All 6p menu items can be ordered via the Deliveroo app. 

After yesterday’s popular demand, it’s been confirmed that Rudy’s will be opening just after 12pm today, American Pies at 12:30pm, and Double Zero at around 3pm. If a restaurant appears closed, it’s either because the item is sold out or the restaurant has temporarily paused accepting new orders to give them chance to catch up.

And if the chance to bag yourself some 6p pizza wasn’t enough, there’s also a competition currently running over on The Manc Eats Instagram page to give three lucky winners £200 worth of Deliveroo order credit.

First look – Manchester’s magical Christmas karaoke cabins are back in town

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson Bar Hutte is back with Christmas karaoke cabins in Manchester

Everyone’s favourite festive pop-up, Bar Hutte, is ready to open in Manchester for another year of karaoke, festive drinks and live music.

The beloved wooden huts and twinkling fairy-lit spaces have reappeared, ready for their grand opening on Thursday.

Now with two sites in the city centre, Bar Hutte promises a vibrant festive atmosphere and loads of events running all the way through to the new year.

The alpine pop-up brings a taste of the apres-ski experience to two corners of Manchester – the waterside space at Kampus and Great Northern Square.

At Bar Hutte Kampus, the beautiful gardens will be made even more magical with the arrival of snug wooden karaoke huttes and an apres-ski bungalow, filled with cosy furnishings and glittering lights.

There’ll be a full schedule of Christmas movie nights, including Love Actually and Office Christmas Party, where you can relax with a mulled wine or fizz and popcorn, plus Kids Movie Mornings with family friendly festive hits like Polar Express and The Grinch.

On 21 November, Bar Hutte Kampus will host Ginger Hunter’s Sparkling Chalet Chic Drag Night, with festive bingo, games, and karaoke.

You’ll also be able to join in with freestyle painting workshops and wreath making sessions in the run-up to Christmas.

At the Santa Claus Club, kids will have an hour of karaoke fun and hot chocolate, plus the chance to meet Santa Claus himself.

Expect winter warmer drinks like Bombardinos and the Bar Hutte ski shot, festive cocktails, and classics like mulled wine and fizz.

And all of that is fuelled by giant pizza slices from Nell’s, who’ll be slinging out slices and whole pies from their restaurant next door.

Callum Winsper, operations manager at Bar Hütte, says: “We’re so pleased to bring Bar Hütte back to Manchester for another year.

“Our festive karaoke hüttes, lively courtyard and schedule of family events have become a holiday favourite in the city, and we’re proud to continue this tradition.

“We’re excited to return to both locations, Great Northern and Kampus, and we look forward to welcoming everyone – whether with friends, family, or colleagues – for another memorable Christmas season.”

Bar Hütte at Kampus opens on 14 November, while Great Northern Square opens on 15 November. You can make a booking HERE.

Viral bakery Half Dozen Other set to open new site this December

Thomas Melia Thomas Melia

Famed for their incredible sweet treat pastries and fresh bread offerings, Half Dozen Other are preparing to open a brand new cafe and bakery in December.

Founded by ex-Rugby players Jon Wilkin and Mark Flanagan, who’ve both competed for the St. Helens team alongside a whole host of different clubs throughout their astonishing careers.

The pair also own Manchester coffee shop Pot Kettle Black, an establishment which has earned its stripes as a frontrunner in the city centre cafe scene.

Half Dozen Other opened a new bakery last summer, painting the Green Quarter landscape with a splash of coral pink thanks to their brightly coloured warehouse plot – and now they’re expanding again.

This bakery is opening their second site at Circle Square, the new Bruntwood Scitech development which is also home to Onda and Federal.

The esteemed bakery will also be accompanied by a whole host of foodie favourites like Detroit Slims and Hello Oriental who all currently reside in the same neighbourhood.

Not too long ago, Half Dozen Other collaborated with Indian restaurant Dishoom to launch their tasty ‘Chai custard tart’ creation.

The sweet treat specialists supply their delicious bites to many Manchester famous eateries including some of the city’s favourites like San Carlo and Tast Catala.

At the new site, they’ll be serving baked-fresh-daily ‘classic bakes, modern takes’.

November has been a very busy month for the Half Dozen Other team as they’re halfway through running their specials of the month including a Pistachio Croissant, PBJ Cookie and a vegan Tarte Tatin Croissant.

With so much going on including ever-changing new products and its brand new Oxford Road development, the bakery is teaming up with speciality coffee brand Ozone to offer £1 coffees every day in December.

Jon Wilkin said: “We’re obsessed with creating things that didn’t exist yesterday.

“Our bakers are already working their magic while Manchester’s bars are still thumping, committing to a mind-bending graft against the clock to ensure your morning toast is worth getting out of bed for.

“Some people count sheep to fall asleep, we count pastries to stay awake. It’s our obsession, an obsession that’s growing. Speaking of growth, we’re pretty chuffed to be opening a bakery shop in Circle Square on Oxford Road. Come at us!”

Charlotte Wild, Head of Retail & Leisure at Bruntwood SciTech commented: “We’re thrilled to be welcoming Half Dozen Other to the Circle Square community.

“This is a brand founded on passion, craft and innovation and one we know will thrive within our vibrant neighbourhood, which is fast becoming a city centre hot spot for hospitality innovators.

“As well as freshly baked artisan treats we are excited to be bringing a new artisan bakery to Circle Square and we can’t wait to see what the team create at their new home.

“Half Dozen Other will be joining the likes of Onda, Detroit Slims by Ramona, Firehouse & Diecast, Federal and North Taproom and will complement this exciting mix perfectly.”

Sweet tooth lovers and bread aficionados can count themselves lucky as by next month, they can add a stop at Half Dozen Other at Circle Square on Oxford Road to their morning commute serving pastries, bakes and coffees from 7am.
