Nando’s is giving away free chicken and starters to students receiving their A Level and GCSE results across Greater Manchester.

After two years of hard work, thousands of students across England will be collecting their exam results next week – and the popular chain restaurant is looking to calm the nerves by bringing back its popular ‘Results Day Dash’ deal after it was sadly cancelled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Whether you’re collecting A-Levels or GCSEs, there’s a free ¼ Chicken or Starter with your name on it,” Nando’s said on its website.

It’s not just 2021 students who can tuck into a hearty Nando’s meal for free this year either, as the deal also extends to those who missed out in 2020.

If you’re looking to claim your freebie, all you’ll need to do is bring your results and ID to collect a code for the ‘Order at Table’ app.

You’ll also need to spend a minimum of £7 to claim.

Music legend Billy Ocean pays a visit to Mama Flo’s in Stockport

Danny Jones Danny Jones Billy Ocean visits Mama Flo's takeaway in Stockport

Cult Stockport foodie favourite Mama Flo’s has been visited by yet another shock famous face when music legend Billy Ocean ‘Suddenly’ popped into the takeaway this week.

What a lovely surprise for the local hero.

Mama Flo’s is not just a go-to eatery for many in the Great Moor neighbourhood; its glowing reviews and long-standing reputation have meant that it’s frequently patronised by out-of-town tourists as well as plenty of celebrities.

Florence Beryl Coke, now in her 70s, is no stranger to welcoming household names, but given the Caribbean royalty in question, she was clearly blown away when the ‘Love Really Hurts Without You’ singer came through the door.

Billy Ocean, 75 himself, played the O2 Apollo in June on his most recent headline tour, but the Trinidadian-born British soul and pop singer has still but up and down the country throughout the year.

We’re not too sure why he was up in Greater Manchester this week, but we’re glad he was.

Writing on Facebook, Flo wrote: “What a good night, tonight. Feeling so tired and having a break – then guess who walked in? The greatest Billy Ocean, and boy, we had a great night chatting away with his entourage. Thank you, Billy, for a splendid night.”

Following up with another grateful post on Friday morning, 14 November, she quoted the title of his most famous hit, before adding: “We love you, Billy Ocean. Thanks for the support last night and [thank you to] your team, love.”

Knowing how hard Flo works, having become famous for her incredible work ethic and regularly working overtime to serve the community, this will no doubt have felt like a well-earned reward after another long, hard day.

She was praised not only throughout lockdown for her tireless efforts in cooking up vital meals in the local area, but she was also presented with a surprise award by Good Morning Britain that left her in tears back in 2022.

She doesn’t just get one-time visitors either: regulars include The Stone Roses’ Ian Brown, nearby actor Will Mellor, and a plethora of regional soap stars.

In this case, Billy Ocean was just the latest celeb to get out of her dreams and into her shop – and yes, that may be a rather stretched pun, but it was worth it, nevertheless.

So, if you’ve still never been to one of the best food spots in Stockport, Mama Flo’s now has the certified Billy Ocean seal of approval to its name, as well as having featured on our very own Takeaway Champions a little while back. We can’t think of any better advert to go and try it for yourself.

Asda’s over 60s ‘winter warmer’ cafe deal is back with soup and unlimited hot drinks for £1

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant Asda winter warmer

Asda’s popular £1 ‘winter warmer’ cafe meal deal has returned to support the over 60s during the colder months.

After it was sadly revealed that almost one in five elderly people claimed there were days when they didn’t speak to a single soul last Christmas, and that during the run up to the big day, 15% said they got used to not conversing with other people, Asda has decided to relaunch one of its most widely-praised cafe meal deals again this year.

The supermarket is, once again, offering all over 60s the chance to enjoy some warming soup, a bread roll, and unlimited tea and coffees for just £1 in any of its cafes across the UK.

This year’s Winter Warmer initiative has two hearty soup flavours to choose from – tomato and chicken.

With the deal running now until the end of next February, Asda is also inviting and encouraging many locals to pop along to their in-store cafe and use the £1 Winter Warmer meal as an opportunity to come and chat to others.

The popular ‘Chatty Cafe’ scheme is a lifeline for people to come together under one roof, eat and drink, and make some new friends.

“We know winter is set to be incredibly hard for thousands of pensioners, as they continue to worry about how to keep themselves warm in the face of rising living costs and on a fixed income,” commented Jordan Cummings, who is the Buying Manager, Cafes, and Concessions at Asda.

“Last year alone, we sold over half a million meals showing the vital need for this initiative.

“By bringing Winter Warmers back this November, we hope it will continue to be just as impactful across the winter months for those who need it most, as well as offering a relaxed social environment to come and chat to others.”
