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.
Manchester City to open pop-up pub in honour of John Stones and Bernardo Silva
Danny Jones
Manchester City are setting up a special pop-up to celebrate John Stones and Bernardo Silva as they prepare to leave at the end of this season.
Having spent nearly two full decades at the Etihad Stadium between them, Stones and Silva will be toasting their departure in true Northern fashion: with their very own Man City pub of the same name.
Come on, you have to admit it: ‘The Stones and Silva’ has a nice ring to it.
Opening for just a few days later this month, before the conclusion of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign and their final appearances in City colours, this is your time to cheers their careers.
Pouring pints from Thursday, 21 May until the end, Cityzens are being encouraged to come along and raise a glass to two of their team’s most successful stars.
Taking over the legendary Star and Garter on Fairfield Street in Manchester city centre, as per an official press release from the club, “The Stones & Silva will feature themed décor inspired by the pair’s unforgettable moments in sky blue.”
As arguably two of the most important players during the Manc side’s most prolific period for winning silverware, it feels only fitting that Blues give them a proper send-off.
Entry will be available on a first-come, first-served basis throughout the event, and you can expect plenty of supporters to come through the doors.
The chosen picture for the pub’s hanging inn sign is inspired by the iconic snap of the Gallagher brothers back at the start of the Oasis mania.
MCFC’s The Stones and Silva pop-up pub will open at the following times:
Thursday, 21 May: 4pm-11pm
Friday, 22 May: 4pm-11pm
Saturday, 23 May: 12pm-11pm
Sunday, 24 May: 12pm-8pm
Better still, in collaboration with official partners Asahi, the first 100 fans through the doors each day will be able to get their hands on a FREE beer. Be rude not to at least try and turn up early…
Elsewhere at the club, the drinks have already been flowing in and around Etihad Campus, as Man City Women finally lifted another league title. See some of the party scenes down below.

Police urgently appeal for footage after fatal stabbing in Moss Side
Emily Sergeant
Police have issued an urgent appeal for footage in their ongoing investigation into a fatal stabbing in Moss Side last week.
Detectives from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) are appealing for information – and in particular, mobile phone footage – as they continue to investigate the murder of 34-year-old father of three, Adrian Brown, who died following a stabbing in Moss Side last Friday (8 May).
Police were called to Raby Street in Moss Side at around 11pm last Friday to reports of a serious assault.
Mr Brown was found with stab wounds to the chest, and was rushed to hospital, but despite the best efforts of medical staff, he sadly died from his injuries.
An 18‑year‑old man was arrested on suspicion of murder the following day (Saturday 9 May) and remains in custody. A second man, aged 26, has also been arrested on suspicion of murder, while two men, aged 25 and 38, and a 26‑year‑old woman have been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
With the police investigation now progressing at pace, officers are keen to hear from anyone who may have captured mobile phone footage at any point during the evening – particularly in or around the West Indian Sports and Social Club on Westwood Street.
Adrian had been attending an event at the club that evening, before at around 11pm, he was assaulted just outside the front entrance.
“There were around 200 people at the club that night, and we believe some of those present may have information that could help us understand what happened,” commented Detective Inspector Alex Wilkinson.
“This could include eyewitness accounts, or photos and videos taken throughout the evening.
“I appreciate that speaking to police can feel daunting, but anyone with footage can upload it anonymously through our dedicated Major Incident Public Portal.”
Anyone with information or footage that may assist the investigation is asked to contact GMP on 0161 856 2270 or 101, quoting log 4069 of 08/05/26, or uploading to the MIPP online here.
Alternatively, information can be passed on anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
