This Manchester restaurant has launched an entire menu dedicated to cauliflower cheese
There's six different flavours to choose from as part of Ducie Street's new roast, including a cauliflower-macaroni cheese hybrid that offers the best of both worlds
Cauliflower has become all things nowadays – rice, ‘chicken’ wings, ‘steaks.’ It’s even become a popular roast replacement, rubbed with herbs and grilled whole for your table’s centerpiece.
But we think we can all agree it is at its very best encased in cheesy bechamel, slightly charred on top and gooey in the middle, fresh out of the oven.
It seems that the team at Ducie Street agree, because they’ve gone and created an entire menu dedicated to the good stuff – and we’re absolutely here for it.

Launched as part of the restaurant’s new Sunday roast menu, the dedicated cauliflower cheese section spans a whopping six different choices.

From bacon fizzle-topped cauliflower to an umami-rich truffled option, there are some mouth-watering options to choose from.
Think cauliflower cheese made with traditional vintage cheddar, or richened up with funky blue cheese for the most indulgent cheesey side you can imagine.

Alternatively, for lovers of macaroni cheese, there’s something for you too – a cauliflower, macaroni cheese hybrid that offers the very best of both worlds. They’ve not forgotten about vegans, either, with a plant-based option included on the menu here too.
The new cauliflower cheese menu has been created as part of Ducie Street’s new roast dinner offering, which also features the likes of dry-aged shorthorn beef sirloin, roast supreme of corn fed chicken, rosemary roasted leg of lamb, free-range gammon, and a weekly-changing vegan roast.

As well as ordering classic mains combos with sides, guests can also opt for a carvery-style order featuring a slice of each of the four meats with all the usual trimmings. Further side choices, meanwhile, include Cumbrian pigs-in-blankets, honey roasted heirloom carrots and minted sugar snap peas.

Launching on Sunday 26 September, all plated roasts will be served with roast potatoes from Massey’s local Cheshire farm, homemade giant Yorkshire’s, seasonal veg and a choice of meat or vegan gravy.

Family of murdered Salah Adam Eldin, 21, pay tribute to ‘beautiful son and true hero’
Daisy Jackson
The family of Salah Adam Eldin, a 21-year-old stabbed to death in Old Trafford last week, have paid a heartbreaking tribute to a ‘genuine and loving soul’.
Salah sadly died on Wednesday 31 May after he was found with serious injuries on Kings Road.
A murder investigation has been launched, and 19-year-old Demari Adrian Raymond Rose has been charged with murder and possession of a bladed article.
Salah’s family have described him as ‘the backbone of the family’ and described his respectful, kind and caring nature.
They wrote that support has poured in from across the globe, saying that ‘he was so much to so many people’.
In a tribute issued through GMP, his family said: “Salah was the backbone of the family and carried the family through anything and everything. He was our precious, beautiful son and a true hero.
“He was a supportive brother and precious son, a most genuine and loving soul with a big heart. He always found space in his heart to forgive all.
“He was always respectful and had kind words to say for all, everyone who met him wanted to be friends with him and was respected by all people of all ages.
“We are immensely proud of him. The continuous tributes from his friends, as far and wide as Africa, North America, The Middle East, Europe and from every corner of the world as well as here at home in England, his friends coming with heavy hearts and tears of deep sadness.
“Yes, our heart is filled with grief and pain, the reality that we will no longer hear his voice on the end of the phone. We grieve and wait for the day that we will one day all be reunited as a family together again and it will be forever.
“As a family we are able to support one another with the help of the wonderful friends and family that we have in the community and beyond. The support has been immeasurable, with everyone suffering the same pain and loss of Salah. He was so much to so many people. His short time in this world, he has his legacy of being a kind and caring young man and so loved. The amount of people who have reached out to support us, it is overwhelming and yet wonderful at the same time.
“As a mother, I have no words to describe the depth of my pain, grief and sorrow that I am going through, and I wish no mother must experience the layers of sadness and grief that I and Salah’s siblings and family are going through.
“Our lives have changed forever and we thank Greater Manchester Police for doing all they can to get justice and who have been very supportive, and we thank endless stream of friends and the community from the bottom of our hearts for their continuous love and support that they give us.”
Salah’s family have asked for continued privacy while they grieve for their loss.

Issuing a statement via ITV, her husband Scott Brand confirmed that they had been given the “heartbreaking diagnosis” this week.
Goodyear, 81, played the legendary Rovers Return pub landlord for over two decades across two different spells on the show, starting in 1966 before leaving the show for good in 1995.
Brand told the outlet on Wednesday: “Unfortunately, Julie has been suffering forgetfulness for some time and we have been seeking medical advice and assistance, but we now know that there is no hope of a reversal in the situation – and that her condition will get progressively, and perhaps speedily, worse.”

Julie Goodyear has been diagnosed with dementia at the age of 81.
He went on to say that he and Goodyear “have taken the decision to publicly announce the diagnosis as Julie still loves visiting friends and eating out”, noting that she inevitably gets recognised “and fans love to meet her – and she them – but she can get confused particularly if she is tired” and adding they “hope people will understand.”
The Manc soap star and household name is from Heywood in Rochdale and retired from acting in 2003 after making her final special appearance on the Coronation Street spin-off, After Hours.
