Costa has introduced some interesting new additions to its food offering to welcome in the new year, and you can even get 50% off this month.
Fans of the coffee shop chain will know Costa for its beloved and wide-ranging drinks menu that often changes as the seasons go by, but don’t go counting out its food selection just yet, especially as there are some tasty new additions to try out.
The sandwich that everyone seems to be talking about? That would be the new ‘Beanz & Cheese Toasie’.
Costa has teamed up with Heinz to combine two classic snacks – beans on toast, and cheese on toast – to give toastie lovers the exclusive ‘Beanz & Cheese Toastie’. Packed full of Heinz Baked Beans and mature cheddar cheese, this new menu stand-out delivers “the ultimate comforting toastie delight”.
And there’s even more on offer for vegans too, or those giving Veganuary a go.

In addition to the best-selling ‘Vegan Smoky Ham & Cheeze Toastie’ added to the menu last year, Costa has also introduced a new ‘Vegan BBQ Chick’n Panini’ with Vegan Chick’n, Texan-style BBQ sauce, roasted peppers and spinach in a stone-baked sourdough panini, and there’s also a twist on the classic sausage roll with the new ‘Vegan Roasted Butternut Squash Pastry Roll’ that’s filled with roasted butternut squash and red onion in a vegan puff pastry with a pumpkin and sunflower seed topping.
If it’s breakfast you’re after, there’s also a new ‘Veggie Breakfast Box’.

You can get FREE sandwiches in Manchester this weekend – but only if you have certain names
Hungry Mancs can help themselves to free sandwiches this bank holiday weekend… but there’s a bit of a catch.
You can only get yourself a sandwich if you have one of these particular names.
We’ve been enjoying some absolutely stunning sunshine across Greater Manchester and much of the UK over the past couple of months, and nothing says sunny days more than taking a packed lunch or grabbing a meal deal and taking it to your local park or greenspace for a picnic.
This is why Pret A Manger has decided to make picnics easier for those who are lucky enough to have a certain type of name.
This late May bank holiday weekend, the popular high street coffee shop chain will be dishing out hundreds of free sandwiches across the UK – including here in Manchester – to anyone whose name happens to start with ‘Nic’.
That means people called Nick, Nicholas, Nicola, Nicole, Nico, Nicolette, and plenty of others could be in with a chance of some free feasting over these next couple of days.

Here in Manchester, it’s the chain’s Portland Street site, just off Piccadilly Gardens, that’s participating in the free giveaway this weekend, and there’ll be 50 sandwiches a day given out, so you’ll need to be quick if your name starts with ‘Nic’ and you’re feeling peckish.
The offer is only limited to Pret’s freshly-made sandwiches, and unfortunately excludes baguettes, wraps, or rye rolls… but free food is better than no food, after all.
All you’ll need to do to grab a freebie is show your ID at the tills of participating stores this Saturday (24 May) to prove your name, and you’ll get to walk out with your lunch in hand, all without having to spend a penny.
Manchester’s Portland Street Pret A Manger will be giving out 50 free sandwiches to ‘Nics’ this Saturday, and they’re on a first-come-first-served basis.

BBC needs adventurous Mancs to take part in next series of Race Across the World
Are you a fan of travelling? Got a bit of a competitive streak in your nature? This might just be your calling then.
The BBC is currently casting for the next series of Race Across the World.
The BAFTA-winning hit show is currently airing to thousands of viewers each week, but with the next series now in the works, producers are on the look-out for ‘intrepid duos’ of all ages who reckon they’re ready to take a step into the unknown, and embark on an epic race across land and sea – and that includes Greater Manchester residents.
With applications for the next series of the massively-popular show now open, nomadic Mancs are being encouraged to take part.
On a limited budget and away from the luxuries of modern technology and conveniences, those lucky applicants selected to take part in the next series will get the chance to experience life in some of the world’s most beautiful and remote locations.

Navigating their way across thousands of miles, they’ll travel through spectacular scenery and dynamic cities, visit ancient wonders, learn local customs, and take part in time-honoured traditions.
But, as producers are keen to point out, “the physical journey is only half of the story”.
That’s because, as the contestants take on the challenge of travelling across the world, the greatest thing they’ll discover along the way could actually be about themselves and one another.
Putting out a UK-wide casting call on the BBC website this week, producers Studio Lambert wrote: “We are now accepting applications for the next series of Race Across the World. This experience is open to all, whether you’re a seasoned traveller or total novice.
“We want to hear what undertaking a trip like this would mean to you, and with a cash prize at stake, what lengths you would go to to win.

“Maybe you’re looking to change something in your life? Or are keen to share the journey with someone special like a family member, best friend, or someone you’ve lost touch with. You may even have a very personal reason for wanting to travel at this time in your life or explore a particular part of the world.”
Fancy it then?
Applications for the third series of Race Across the World are now open for anyone over 18 years of age, with a deadline date of 6 July 2025, and you can find out more information and apply via the BBC website.
