This Manchester restaurant is serving a Sunday roast with bottomless drinks
Georgina Pellant
When it comes to Sunday roasts, by and large they’re pretty damn hard to beat. A catch-all plate loaded with your favourite meat and vegetables, drenched in gravy and topped with a fluffy Yorkshire pudding, what’s not to love?
Hands down this would be our death row meal every time. There’s simply no competition. So when we heard that a restaurant in Manchester has just launched a Sunday roast with bottomless drinks we felt the news was way too good not to share. After all, hot foodies don’t gatekeep.
Let’s be honest, we all love a good drink with our roast anyway – and now The Oast House has gone and made it that much more affordable.
Starting from 12pm on a Sunday, you can get 90 minutes of unlimited prosecco, a range of different spritzes and pints of lager here with your roast dinner for an extra £15.
The roast itself is priced at two courses for £18.50 or three for £22.50, with main choices including gorgeously pink-looking roast beef and lamb, plus chicken, crispy pork belly and a chestnut, mushroom and red lentil roast.

All come served with mustard glazed carrots, red cabbage, Tenderstem broccoli, roast potatoes, a Yorkshire pudding and gravy – plus the option to add on crispy onion-topped Shorrocks Lancashire cauliflower cheese for an extra £2.50.

Elsewhere on the menu, you’ll find the likes of scotch eggs with picalilli, pea hummus, wings and calamari to whet your appetite as starters.
In the pudding section, meanwhile, there is a host of tempting options: ranging from a rose and hibiscus poached peach and pistachio cheesecake, to cookie dough loaded with Oreos and vanilla icecream.
Further pudding choices include a mouthwatering lemon tart served with raspberry sorbet and crushed honeycomb, a vegan-friendly dark chocolate and peanut butter pot with Biscoff crumb and caramelised banana, and everyone’s favourite: a sticky toffee pudding with rich toffee sauce and icecream on the side.
Bottomless drinks options will set you back £15 per person and can be enjoyed by the whole table up to a maximum of six, with spritz choices spanning Aperol, raspberry, blood orange or elderflower.

However, if you’re not feeling that there’s also a Bloody Mary menu promising the ‘perfect pick me up’ for hungover heads with three different styles to choose from.
If you fancy getting stuck into a big roast and making a boozy one of it, then we think this will be right up your street.

A Manchester restaurant is doing bottomless pancakes for Pancake Day
Georgina Pellant
This Pancake Day, there’s a restaurant in Manchester’s Northern Quarter dishing up unlimited portions of pancakes and it sounds absolutely brilliant.
Priced at £13.50 for 30 minutes off non-stop servings, if you think you can manage to eat your body weight in pancakes then this might just be for you.
Taking place at cultural hub Ducie Street Warehouse, your unlimited serving of pancakes can come loaded with everything from Nutella and maple syrup to mixed berries, cinnamon sugar and more.

Toppings-wise, it’s up to you to choose what to go for. As well as a selection of sweet toppings, there’ll also be something for the savoury pancake fans out there including added extras like bacon and eggs, as well as some vegan alternatives too.
As for the pancakes themselves, diners should expect stacks of fluffy American-style beauties – so if you’re into crepes on Pancake Day, you’re probably best off going somewhere else.
With this year’s Pancake Day taking place on Tuesday 21 February, the offer will run from breakfast to tea time starting at 10am and finishing at 5pm.
Pancake fans are invited to head to the pancake station to collect their goodies, then mix and match up to three different toppings to create their own unique stack.
Once they’re done, they’re welcome to head up and get another plateful – with no limit on how many times they can refill on pancakes during the 30 minute time slot.
