Albert’s Schloss has just introduced a new breakfast menu packed with Alpine delights.
Manchester’s Bohemian bier palace, cook haus and bakery has just rolled out a host of new dishes perfect for the upcoming cold season, so naturally we had to go down and give it a try.
Think stacked Schloss breakfast poppy bagels filled with your choice of Yorkshire streaky bacon, round bratwurst, haus chilli jam and gouda, coriander and pink pickled onions, soft chive omelette, slow roasted portobello mushrooms and smashed avocado (£7.95).
Elsewhere, you’ll find more haus-baked bagels filled with smoked salmon, chive cream cheese and poached Burford Brown eggs, alongside British breakfast staples like the full English, eggs benedict and avocado and eggs.

We went for the regular fry-up and a meaty breakfast bagel, washed down with a few ‘liveners’ which more than did the required job of bringing us back to life after a long, mournful weekend.

Opting for an espresso martini and a relatively fiery Bloody Mary (well, a Red Snapper, as we switched out the vodka for gin), we got stuck in to our platefuls of chunky sausage, crispy bacon bits and stacks of lightly charred toast.
Overall, the size of the Catherine wheel sausage left us a little disappointed (it was, as you can see, really more of a squiggle) but it’s fair to say that the rest of the plate more than made up for it.
A pot of beans, rich, gooey fried eggs and a hearty helping of crispy Yorkshire streaky bacon was a warm hug on a cold September morning, whilst a poppy seed bagel spilling over with colour and freshness did wonders to lift our spirits.
Whilst there’s not much here for vegans, vegetarians are well catered for with dishes like goats cheese and courgette fritters with Burford brown eggs, frankfurt sauce and spicy devilled tomatoes, and Turkish eggs with garlic yoghurt, poached Burford brown eggs, herbs, chilli butter, crispy onions and sourdough toast.

There’s also a veggie Cook Haus breakfast with Moving Mountains sausage, smashed avocado, Burford brown egg, roasted portobello mushroom, baked beans, hash brown, roast tomato and Pain de Mie toast, and a sweet veggie pancake stack with vanilla, berries, maple syrup and cream.
Served from Monday to Friday from 10am-1pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 9am-1pm, walk-ins are welcome but advance bookings are advised to avoid disappointment.

Science and Industry Museum reveals CGIs of iconic Power Hall that’s been closed for years
Daisy Jackson
One of the Science and Industry Museum’s most iconic attractions will reopen this summer – and the beloved museum has revealed a sneak peak of how things will look.
The museum has shared CGIs of the reimagined Power Hall: The Law Family Gallery, where visitors will be able to explore a lively working gallery full of engines and rail vehicles.
The popular part of the museum closed for urgent repairs in 2019 and has since been undergoing conservation work and a new look created by award-winning designers Studio MUTT.
The sounds, smells and sights of Manchester’s past and present industry will be brought to the Power Hall when it reopens.
Visitors will soon again be able to rediscover objects and learn the stories behind those who powered Manchester’s industry.
There’ll be three main themes within the Power Hall – Making More, which will explore how engines helped people make more, faster, with steam engines installed at factories and mills.
Then there’ll be Powering Lives, which will examine how engines power the electricity network we all plug into every day.
And also Connecting Places, which looks at how locomotives have connected communities around the world, starting at the site of the museum which sparked a transport revolution in 1830.

Kate Chatfield, Interpretation and Content Manager at the Science and Industry Museum, said: “Power Hall: The Law Family Gallery will be a must-see Manchester experience – a living gallery that showcases a unique collection of historic 19th and early 20th century working engines to tell the story of Manchester as an epicentre for the engine-driven ideas and industry that shaped the world as we know it today.
“Our most iconic objects will be available to explore like never before as we bring to life the people behind the power through stories of the engineers, makers and technicians who use their skills and senses to create and care for engines, both today and in the past.”
The work on the Power Hall is part of a multi-million-pound regeneration project across the Science and Industry Museum, which is conserving and reimagining these historic buildings.
The Power Hall has been future-proofed in the six years it’s been closed to the public, including urgent roof and timber repairs.
Further information about what to see and do and the Power Hall’s opening date will be announced in the coming weeks. Sign up to the museum’s mailing list to be among the first to hear more.
Power Hall: The Law Family Gallery project has been made possible with support from The Law Family Charitable Foundation, the Wolfson Foundation, The National Lottery Heritage Fund, The Headley Trust, Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851, Atmos International, The Beaverbrooks Charitable Trust, The Zochonis Charitable Trust and other donors who choose to remain anonymous.
Special thanks to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport for their significant contribution to the gallery, and to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero for funding the decarbonisation of the Power Hall through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, delivered by Salix Finance.

Greater Manchester cleans up at first-ever Festival of Women’s Football Awards
Danny Jones
This week marked the inaugural Festival of Women’s Football Awards (FWFA), which not only saw a whole host of female talent from up and down the English pyramid celebrated, but Greater Manchester in particular picked up a number of accolades.
Of course, we all know that 0161 is the true home of football, with Manchester’s rich sporting heritage known worldwide, but it’s always nice to see our region recognised for its continued contribution to the beautiful game.
That reputation goes double for the women’s game too, as the 2025 FWFA saw a trio of local clubs and a trio of different players winning across multiple categories.
Starting with the blue side of Manchester, Manchester City Women star Yui Hasegawa picked up Player of the Year from a strong shortlist of midfielders.
Joining the club back in the summer of 2022, Hasegawa famously scored on her debut and was named in the PFA Team of the Year that season.
Playing in 92 of the 96 games since her arrival, she is widely considered not just one of the best midfielders in the Women’s Super League (WSL) but the world.
As for the red half of the city, not only did Phallon Tullis-Joyce – who has shone since filling the very big boots of Mary Earps – pick up the award for the best shotstopper, but centre-back Maya Le Tissier was named both Defender and Young Player of the Year.
Latics Women only launched their squad this season but have already amassed a passionate following, hence the award, and also won the Lancashire Women’s County League Championship at the first time of asking.
Congratulations to all the Greater Mancunian footballing organisations and sports personalities recognised at this year’s Festival of Women’s Football Awards – here’s hoping for even more in 2026!
🏆 We were delighted to attend this evening’s Festival of Women’s Football Awards in London…
It was an honour to be shortlisted for eight national awards, and take home the ‘Best Fan Experience’ prize! 💙#wafc 🔵⚪️ pic.twitter.com/OoeN92Vxwv
