Tampopo has launched a new Pan Asian bottomless brunch featuring such delights as katsu curry, stir fried noodles and some proper Full Moon party Sangsom buckets.
Giving diners 90 minutes of free-flowing drinks alongside either a two or three-course feast, it’s one of the most generous-sounding bottomless deals we’ve seen in the city to date: giving you full access to the entire Tampopo menu as well as a choice of lots of different drinks.
Available between 12 – 5 pm every day, drinks available on the offer include the likes of prosecco, bellinis, and Singaporean Tiger beer. Alternatively, if you really want to go all-out with the full Thailand experience, you can opt for some of their Full Moon party buckets to share instead.
Tampopo’s going all out with the Pan Asian vibes by reviving the popular gap year rum buckets for the occasion – giving its diners a taste of Thailand’s infamous Full Moon parties right here in Manchester with proper Thai rum Sangsom, made from sugar cane molasses and aged in oak barrels.
Mixed with coke, it’s the ultimate Thailand party drink – typically drunk from the same plastic buckets you probably used to make sandcastles as a kid. Not to knock a day at the beach but the adult version, we’re sure you’ll agree, is a lot more fun.

Soft drinks are available too and all of Tampopo’s mocktails and juices like apple & elderflower lemonade & Ginger and Lemongrass fizz will also be available to order as part of the bottomless selection.
Enough about the dirnks, what about the dishes? As we mentioned, you’ve access to the whole menu here – so you’re pretty spoilt for choice.

You can’t go wrong with hero dishes like Beef Rendang, Thai Green Curry or the classic Katsu Curry, or alternatively opt for somethingn from the wok like Nasi Goreng, Thai fried rice, or one of Tampopo’s excellent, fragrant stire fries.

There’s also the likes of Pad Thai, curry noodles, yaki udon, vermicelli and ramen to choose from if you delve into their ‘way of the noodle’ section.
As for dessert, think mango sorbet, churros, roti pancakes and the infamous mochi balls in either passionfruit and mango, coconut or salted caramel.

Priced at £34.95 for two courses (introductory offer) or £37.95 for three, advanced bookings and walk-ins are welcome all three Tampopo sites in Albert Square, The Corn Exchange and Trafford Centre.
Tickets officially go on sale for rare 70mm IMAX screenings of Dune: Part Three in Manchester
Emily Sergeant
Tickets have now officially gone on sale for rare 70mm IMAX screenings of Dune: Part Three in Manchester.
Arriving on screens from 18 December and gearing up to be one of the most anticipated films of the year, Dune: Part Three – which is the third and final instalment in director Denis Villeneuve’s Dune franchise – will be screening in IMAX 70mm at Vue Manchester Printworks, one of only three venues to show it in this format nationwide.
There are only 40 other venues across the globe showing the film in IMAX 70mm, and Manchester is the only city outside of London to screen the blockbuster this way too.
Based on the novels of Frank Herbert and set nearly two decades after the previous film, Dune: Part Three features an ensemble cast of all-star names led by Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya.
Alongside them will be Jason Momoa, Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor-Joy, Rebecca Ferguson, Robert Pattinson, Charlotte Rampling, Javier Bardem, and Josh Brolin.
After seats for a special early screening of the film in IMAX sold out in less than 30 minutes last month, the IMAX 70mm showings – which officially went live today (20 October) – are expected to be snapped up fast by film fans in Manchester.
“A decade in the making, Denis Villeneuve’s epic Dune trilogy is reaching its dramatic conclusion this December,” explained Dean Cross, who is the Senior Screen Content Manager at Vue.
“As the only venue outside of London to be screening Dune: Part Three in IMAX 70mm, it’s a privilege for us to offer this unique way to experience the film.”
Dune: Part Three is coming to Vue Manchester Printworks on 18 December, and you can book your tickets here.

Free pints and live craft experiences coming to a Manchester pub for one night only
Daisy Jackson
A pop-up pub takeover is opening its doors in Manchester, where you can get your hands on a free pint as well as some amazing craft experiences.
The Uncommon Inn is being operated by premium Italian lager brand Poretti, who want to help us Brits break out of our daily routines.
Matt & Phreds on Tib Street will welcome The Uncommon Inn on Thursday 22 October, from 4pm to 8pm, giving visitors the chance to discover unusual creative skills and watch artisans at work, with a free pint in hand.
It comes after research commissioned by Poretti found that 61% of UK adults feel they are living on autopilot, while a quarter have not tried a new creative pursuit in five years or more.

The study also found that adults have an average of just 90 minutes of genuine personal time each day, with 58% spending that time watching television and 35% scrolling through social media.
Exhaustion and financial constraints came out as the main barriers preventing people from trying new things.
The Uncommon Inn has been designed to offer an alternative, bringing together a collective of specialist makers to showcase their skills in a familiar pub setting.
Visitors to the Manchester event can watch Giulio Miglietta embroidering personalised beer mats, using a vintage Singer sewing machine dating back to the early 1900s, alongside live hand-engraving and bespoke jewellery-style crafting using recycled silver.

Other demonstrations include 3D body-casting by sculptor Ami of Angelcasts and personalised, hand-engraved glassware from Leigh Calligraphy. Sabira of Sken Studios will also demonstrate how recycled silver can be turned into bespoke bottle openers.
Guests will be able to enjoy complimentary pints of Poretti while watching the makers at work.
Caitlin Maley, Senior Brand Manager at Poretti, said: “Modern life moves at an overwhelming pace, and it’s all too easy to fall into autopilot mode where routine replaces curiosity.
“We believe in celebrating intentional craft, rare skills, and authentic human connection – values that are at the core of our brewing heritage.
“We created The Uncommon Inn to turn an ordinary pub visit into an inspiring journey. By bringing together our Masters of Crafts, from chainstitch embroiderers to live engravers and musicians, we’re inviting pubgoers to slow down, pick up a new skill, and enjoy a pint crafted with genuine passion.”
The Uncommon Inn is at Matt & Phreds in Manchester on Thursday 22 October, from 4pm until 8pm.
