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.
When it comes to those incredible facilities, we’re talking a gym, a yoga studio, three outdoor terraces with views across the city, study spaces, a private dining room, a gaming lounge, and free laundry. Not to mention a coffee lounge with free tea, coffee, and breakfast cereals.
They truly have thought of everything to allow students to thrive and make the most of the Manchester life, including running social events, co-working spaces, and mental health support.

England international and ex-Manchester City manager Kevin Keegan dies at 75
Danny Jones
Football veteran and legend of the English game, Kevin Keegan OBE, has sadly died at the age of 75.
A former Liverpool and Newcastle player, not to mention England international, turned Manchester City manager and even Three Lions boss, his death was announced on Monday, 20 July.
The news comes following a battle with illness since the start of the year, after it was revealed that he was tragically diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer back in January.
The original ‘King Kev’ before the likes of De Bruyne, also affectionately known in the footballing world as ‘Mighty Mouse’, is said to have passed away with key members of his close family by his side.
Confirmed via a public statement issued to Sky Sports journalist Pete Graves, they wrote: “It is with immense sadness that we announce that Kevin Keegan has passed away at the age of 75.
“The former England player and manager had been battling cancer and was surrounded by his wife and daughters in his final moments. “Kevin, a double Ballon d’Or winner, was a much-loved husband, father and grandfather.”
Put simply, he had an incredible career and leaves a lasting legacy.
It goes on to read: “The family would like to thank Kevin’s incredible medical team for all their support. This is a hugely difficult time, and they are requesting space and privacy.”
Naturally, tributes are already flooding in online, with ex-pros, pundits and fans alike labelling him among England’s best-loved father figures and characters, with one user notably dubbing him as “one of football’s good guys.”

Even at his fiery and most passionate best, he was still one of the most respected figures in the history of English football and the sporting world at large.
For instance, arguably his most iconic interview as Newcastle boss ahead of his team’s clash against Manchester United back in 1995/96 only showed how mild-mannered he often came across.
Our thoughts go out to his friends, family, former teammates and all those mourning the familiar face with a famously good head of hair.
