There’s a restaurant in Manchester doing a bottomless brunch with pies and we are completely here for it.
We’re talking about Pieminister, a happy resident of the Northern Quarter’s Church Street since 2013 and a long term favourite amongst Manchester‘s pie lovers.
Serving up award-winning pies for pushing on a decade here, today, the Bristol-based family of pie makers have two sites in the city, having opened a second on Deansgate in 2019.
Boasting over 50 gongs from The Great Taste Awards and a number of silver and gold wins at the British Pie Awards, whilst there are already many great reasons to visit, we think you’ll agree that a bottomless pie brunch gives pastry heads another welcome excuse.
We’re talking brunch pies. Brunch pies filled with all the good bits of an English breakfast, combined with all the good bits of, well, a classic pie.

Suffice to say, Pieminister isn’t messing about here.
Whether you’re a meat lover, a veggie, vegan, or flexitarian, there’s something to suit – with a selection of four brunch pies on the menu, reports The Hoot..
You’re looking at just £11.50 for a brunch pie on its own or £25 to include ninety minutes of bottomless drinks, with some great cocktail choices like Aperol spritz, mimosa and bloody marys sitting alongside fizz and beer.
All pies come topped with garlic confit-style potatoes, crispy kale and vine tomatoes, and are served with smoky baked beans on the side.

You can also add a stick of pigs in blankets, fried halloumi, or vegan sausages for another £2.
Brunch pie choices include the ‘Morning Glory,’ a free-range sausage and bacon pie with cheesy bechamel sauce and a baked egg, and the veggie ‘Sunny Pie Up,, stuffed with rosemary vegetarian sausages, red onion, bechamel, and a baked egg.
If that’s not for you, there’s also the ‘Bangin’ Bean Skillet,’comprised of smoky baked beans, halloumi, and baked egg, and the the ‘Vegan Banger – which is essentially a vegan take on the first two, made with vegan sausage, cheeze and bechamel .
An absolute steal, for £25 not only will you leave full of pie you’ll also get a good helping of drinks with an hour and a half at your table.
Available on Saturdays only, to find out more and book head to Pieminister’s website here.

Urgent appeal issued following serious road traffic collision involving motorcyclist on M60
Emily Sergeant
An urgent appeal has been issued following a serious road traffic collision on the M60.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) are appealing for information and dash-cam footage, as well as urging witnesses to come forward, after a motorcyclist suffered life-threatening injuries during a collision on the M60 this past Saturday (12 July).
Shortly after 1:40pm, police were called a report of a collision involving a motorbike on the anti-clockwise side of the motorway, between junctions 25 and 24.
When patrols responded and arrived on the scene, they found a man in his 50s – believed to be the motorcyclist – with life-threatening injuries, and was subsequently taken to hospital for treatment in an air ambulance, with his family being informed in the process.

The M60 was closed in one direction, between Bredbury and Denton, following the crash from around 2:30pm onwards, and all traffic was diverted while investigations were ongoing.
GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit is in the process of conducting enquiries, and at this time, it isn’t believed that any other vehicle was involved in this incident.
This is why police are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the collision, or who has dash-cam footage, to get in on contact.
Police have also thanked the members of the public who stopped by the roadside to give the man initial first aid before emergency services arrived.
Police issue update on Oasis arrests and fence-jumpers
Daisy Jackson
Greater Manchester Police have shared an update on the arrests made at the opening two nights of Oasis Live ’25.
More than 100,000 people have flocked up to Heaton Park on Friday and Saturday evening for the first two of five Oasis reunion shows.
And largely, things have gone without a hitch, with only 15 arrests made so far.
The majority of these are arrests on suspicion of fraud, with five men and a woman in three separate incidents attempting to access the Oasis gig with fake accreditation.
Another man was arrests on suspicion of assaulting a member of security staff.
Two more men were arrested on suspicion of assault – a section 18 inside the Oasis gig at Heaton Park, and another for a section 47 outside.
Police have also said that ‘a number of people’ have attempted to access the gigs without tickets, with a perimeter gate breached on Saturday night, but ‘failed to do so’.
Five drones which breached airspace restrictions were seized on Friday.
A Section 34 Dispersal Order, which gives officers the power to direct individuals to leave a specified area and not return for 48 hours, has been in place for each night of the Oasis concerts so far.
This will be re-assessed before each concert this week, with the Gallagher brothers back at Heaton Park on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.

Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle said: “We have been planning for these events for several months, working with partners and the organisers to make sure everyone can enjoy the concerts safely. To that end, I’m pleased to say that the first two Oasis homecoming events have been a success.
“What has been especially pleasing is how more than 100,000 people have enjoyed these iconic events safely and without trouble.
“We will have a highly visible presence in and around Heaton Park, and across the city, to ensure the next three events continue to pass safely.
“A number of people without tickets attempted to gain entry through a perimeter gate on Saturday night but failed to do so.

“We continue to support the event organisers and the local authority with their plans preventing any unauthorised access to the arena site.
“While arrests have thankfully been minimal, we have had to take some suspects to custody, including one after an alleged assault on a steward on Saturday night. We will not tolerate any abuse of anyone doing their job.
“On Friday night we also dealt with a number of breaches of airspace restrictions involving drones where our officers seized five drones and spoke to two other pilots.
“We continue to have airspace restrictions in place on the nights of the concerts and anyone found breaching the one-and-a-half-mile restriction zone could face prosecution.”
