A handful of dessert parlours across Greater Manchester are serving up frozen treats for dogs all summer long.
With summer now officially here, and much of the country being blessed with glorious sunshine and warm weather over the past week, it’s no wonder so many of us are looking to cool down with an ice cream or frozen treat – but as most pet owners know, it’s not just us we need to be thinking when the heat arrives.
Those of us with a four-legged friend in our lives are always on the look-out for the best way to keep our pets cool during the summer.
And one local frozen yoghurt dessert parlour is thankfully giving us a helping hand with that.
A perfect pit-stop on a dog walk or to keep out of the sun, Frurt has been a staple part of the Manchester food and drink scene for more than 10 years now, and while it’s known for its wide selection of frozen yoghurt and dessert options for humans, there’s also plenty of options for hungry pups to choose from.

Founded back 2010 with a passion to create the perfect frozen yoghurt, Frurt has managed to create a delicious and healthy treat for everyone to enjoy.
The dessert parlour chain focuses on crafting recipes that cater for its wide customer base, and only uses the finest ingredients.

With five locations across the region – including two stores right here in Manchester city centre – and several award wins to its name, Frurt has a range of dairy-free frozen yoghurt options that are all dog-friendly.
Some of the stand-out summer flavours include refreshing mango and lemon sorbets.

If you really want to pamper your pup and treat them like they deserve, there’s even a range of different fruit toppings to add on as well.
Of course, for Frurt’s human guests this summer, there’s an even more exciting line up of treats to tuck into – with cakes, bubble tea, smoothies, thick shakes, and vegan options all on the menu, as well as its popular lineup of fro-yo flavours.
You can pop into Frurt on Peter Street and Whitworth Street West in Manchester city centre, or any of its three self-serve stores in Prestwich, Bolton, and Blackburn, this summer.

Channel 4 is looking for Mancs who think they can survive the apocalypse for a new TV series
Lydia Mastrolonardo
Have you always wanted to see how long you’d last in an apocalypse?
Well now’s your chance, as Apocalypse is potentially coming back to Channel 4 for a second series, with producers having put out a nationwide casting call for contestants willing to take part.
The casting call simply reads: “Do you think you have what it takes to survive the end of the world?”
Described as a dystopian series designed to test the creativity, resourcefulness, and resilience of our nation, Apocalypse sees players are pushed out of their comfort zones and put to the ultimate test.
In the series, ordinary people are tasked with surviving for 28 days in an abandoned city – used previously only for the military to practice urban warfare – with no food, running water, electricity or heat.
Produced by The Garden – which is part of ITV Studios – for Channel 4, the show’s creators are now calling on Mancs and people up and down the country with the ‘courage and ingenuity’ to compete, to get in touch and apply for the potential second series.
Does your mate always bang on after watching a post-apocalyptic film that they would’ve done things differently? Or is the news at the moment freaking you out and you want to give the end of the world a bit of a practice run? Either way, sign up, test that plan you’ve built in your head, and see if you’ve really got what it takes.
Applications are now open, and all you need to do is fill in a short application form and one of the production team will get back to you if they would like to proceed. Come on, let’s prove what Mancs are made of.
Hundreds of katsu curries are being given out for FREE in Manchester this week

Hundreds of katsu curries are being dished up and given out for free in Manchester this week, but only for certain people.
And those lucky people will be students.
That’s right… a new semester is upon us, and thousands of freshers and returning students are descending on the city and Manchester‘s many universities for another year. But the life of a student isn’t exactly the cheapest sometimes, especially for those who haven’t had to live on a budget before moving out or into halls.
But to make things a little easier, Tampopo has announced it’ll be serving hundreds of one of its most popular dishes for free this week.
Tampopo is celebrating National Katsu Curry Day in the most delicious way possible, by giving away 700 Katsu Curries with rice for free, exclusively to freshers and students this Sunday (27 September).
Whether you’re brand new to the city, settling back into uni life, or you’re simply in need of a katsu fix, students can head to their nearest participating Tampopo and tuck into a hearty meal without needing to spend a penny.
100 katsu curries will be available each from 12-2pm at both Tampopo restaurants in Manchester city centre – which are on Albert Square, and in the Corn Exchange – or if you head over to the Trafford Centre, both the Tampopo there and the East Street sites are taking part.
“[Our] Katsu Curry has long been one of our most-loved dishes, so National Katsu Curry Day felt like the perfect excuse to give students a proper welcome to the new academic year,” Tampopo said in a statement.
So, are you feeling hungry then? The offer is exclusively available for takeaway only to freshers and students with a valid student ID, which they must present on collection.
100 portions are available at each participating location, and just one free katsu curry with rice will be available per person.
