A new Thai restaurant with tuk-tuk seating booths has its sights set on a new Manchester opening, it has been revealed.
Zaap Thai, which already has a portfolio of popular Thai restaurants in the north of England, is eyeing up a new Manchester location on Lincoln Square.
It has submitted plans to open a new restaurant at the square, which can be found just off Deansgate. If successful, Zaap Thai will join the likes of Maray, Wings, Shirley’s cafe, and BOX sports bar.
The street food brand has already made its mark in the north with well-established sites in Leeds, Nottingham, Newcastle, Headingley, and Sheffield.

The Manchester site will mark the sixth site for the restaurant group, which serves an affordably-priced menu spanning over 80 different authentic Thai dishes that draw inspiration from Bangkok in particular.

Street food favourites like Pad Thai can be found alongside summer specials such as authentic Northern Thai sausages, Thai red curry with duck, Tom Yum wonton soup, and Thai jasmine rice stir-fries, plus sweet treats like Thai-style coconut ice cream and a special mango sorbet boba sundae.
Elsewhere, you’ll find Thai-inspired bao buns stuffed with the likes of crispy pork belly, tofu, and chicken, hearty Bangkok platters, curries, and an array of different noodle dishes on Zaap Thai’s extensive menu.
There are plenty of strong options for veggies and vegans, with plant-based meat alternatives offered alongside the likes of vegetables and tofu, and a small dim sum section to discover here.

As for drinks, discover plenty of cocktails, beers, and soft drinks sourced from Thailand, as well as boozy (and regular) bubble teas with lychee, watermelon, and brown sugar.
Brought to Manchester by the Yorkshire-based SUKHO Group, also behind the Sukhothai and the Zaap Thai Market in Nottingham, it is set to make something of a splash if it passes its consultation on 8 August.

National Lottery hunts for Tameside player who’s not claimed £1m winnings
Daisy Jackson
The hunt is on to find a National Lottery player in Tameside who’s won £1m – and not claimed it.
The missing millionaire won the huge prize on a Lotto ticket bought on Wednesday 1 July, somewhere in the Borough of Tameside.
But with just two months to go until the prize expires, the player has still not come forward to claim their winnings.
The winning numbers in were 5, 8, 26, 33, 39, 42 and the Bonus Ball was 54.
Now, the National Lottery is renewing its search for the millionaire, calling for the mystery winner to cash in their prize before it expires at midnight on 28 December.
National Lottery Senior Winners’ Advisor Andy Carter has been out in Tameside ‘hunting’ for the missing millionaire, visiting everywhere from Portland Basin to Hartshead Pike.
Andy said: “I’ve searched high and low across Tameside for our missing millionaire, but I’ve had no luck.

“With just two months left to claim this £1 million prize, now is the time for anyone who bought a Lotto ticket in Tameside for the 1 July draw to have another look.
“The winning ticket could be tucked away somewhere completely ordinary, while its owner has absolutely no idea they are a millionaire.
“We’d love to find the person we’ve been looking for and turn this search into a celebration. So, if you bought a ticket in the area, dig it out, check those numbers and help us find Tameside’s missing millionaire. It could be you.”
With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket. Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected].
