Manchester dive bar Bunny Jackson’s is bringing all the chicken goodness to First Street this summer with its new 40ft long Winnebago ‘chicken bus’.
The site is already fabled amongst fried chicken fans for its 20p wings, which can be ordered dry or slathered in a range of mouthwatering sauces.
Not content with that, it’s now upping the ante for the summer season, taking its chicken on the road – or at least, out onto the First Street estate – with a giant new Winnebago set up, complete with deck chairs, loungers, and baskets full of those famous wings.
Offering plenty of outdoor seating as well as a big screen showing sports fixtures ‘til late, the new Bunny’s wing wagon is set to stay put all summer.

Open until 10pm, if you head to the bar first you can grab a flyer to get some money off your first round – and they might even give you a cheeky free shot.

Inside, the wing wagon’s bar is painted in white capitals spelling out ‘bad decision centre’ with a second message underneath reading ‘you really should know better’.
You’ll find the new ‘chicken bus’ parked up just a stone’s throw from the popular dive bar, which made headlines this week following a surprise late-night performance by Olivia Rodrigo.
This week, the First Street dive bar will also be the first bar in the UK to serve BuzzBallz’ ball-shaped cocktail cans, which come in six different flavours – Choc Tease, Tequila ‘Rita, Strawberry ‘Rita, Lotta Colada, Chili Mango and Espresso Martini.
Timed to coincide with the Wimbledon semi-final screening this Friday, the bar will be serving up the single-serve premixed cocktails alongside big screens showing all the sporting action.

Earlier this week, the American singer hopped on stage at the bar with Bunny Jackson’s house band to deliver a rendition of Natalie Imbruglia’s 90s hit Torn, after her sold-out show at O2 Apollo.
The bar shared a video earlier this week showing the Driver’s License singer belting out Torn, much to the delight of those in the bar having a Sunday night drink.

Netflix drops the first trailer for upcoming Peaky Blinders film
Danny Jones
It looks like Christmas has come early for TV drama fans and cinephiles, because Netflix has officially dropped the first trailer for the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie.
Popcorn at the ready – even the teaser alone has got us fired up.
ln just 70 seconds, they’ve managed to pull us right back in, and we cannot wait to see Cillian Murphy back in full-on Tommy Shelby mode.
Not exaggerating when we say we have LITERAL chills.
As you can see, they certainly haven’t scrimped on the budget with the first-ever feature-length Peaky Blinders film, neither in terms of production value nor the cast.
Then again, having already hosted the likes of Sam Neill, Tom Hardy, Adrien Brody, Anya Taylor-Joy and others in the series itself, as well as going on to become one of the most successful BBC shows of all time, they were never going to.
We’re sure you spotted plenty of them for yourselves, but the debut trailer for The Immortal Man gives us not only our first glimpses of now Oscar-winning Murphy, 49, back in the saddle (both figuratively and literally) but also fellow blockbuster Irish actor, Barry Keoghan.
Other big names set to appear in the movie – set for a limited release in theatres before launching exclusively on Netflix – include Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Roth. It still remains unclear, however, as to how any of these characters will knit into the new season.
It’s also worth noting that the trailer shares a little snippet of the historical context, this continuation of the Shelby story is playing into, as we see what looks to be Nazi figures meeting on screen.
Creator Steven Knight has already confirmed that the plot will fast-forward some years to meet back up with Tommy at the outset of WWII and his ancestral home of Birmingham during the Blitz.
Having already confirmed 6 March as the theatrical release date ahead of it going live on Netflix a fortnight later, the anticipation was seriously starting to ramp; this latest look has only added to the tinderbox of excitement.
What do you make of the Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man trailer, and will you be watching it?
