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.

Beyonce announces Renaissance world tour – but fans fume as she shuns Manchester

Daisy Jackson

Beyonce has finally announced details of her Renaissance world tour, a week after her phones-free return to the stage in Dubai.

The Crazy in Love singer announced live shows across UK, Europe and North America in 2023 this afternoon.

The Renaissance tour will be her first since 2016, when she visited Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester.

But this time, Beyonce will be giving our fair city a miss – and fans are not happy.

The 41-year-old megastar is instead going to performing three nights in London at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, plus shows in Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Sunderland.

She announced the tour to her 293 million Instagram followers, racking up almost three million likes in less than an hour.

While everyone is busy celebrating Beyonce’s return to the world of touring, us Mancs are a bit cross that she’s skipping our home town and its amazing live music venues.

On Twitter, hundreds of people are voicing their disappointment, and the memes are coming thick and fast.

One comment said: “Beyoncé is coming to every city in the world except Manchester.”

Another person wrote: “Sunderland?! Sunderland?! WHERE IS MANCHESTER? Beyoncé, did we hurt you somehow?”

Someone else said: “Beyonce not adding a tour date to Manchester ? WHAT!!!!!! Surely she has to announce more???”
