Manchester’s South American all day dining concept Peru Perdu is looking to “make Sundays great again” and there’s even something in it for our furry friends too.

The ever-popular and vibrant Peruvian-inspired residency restaurant – which can be found on Princess Street in the heart of the city centre – is offering a rather unique South American take on the classic Sunday Roast we all know and love.

Serving up dishes packed full of Peruvian flavours, you can tuck into three different roast options, which are all £16 per person.

You can take your pick from either Churrasco Picanha (beef), Pollo la Brasa (chicken), or the vegan Chimichurri Cauliflower with truffle gravy, which are all served with a host of mouthwatering sides, and if that wasn’t enough, it also comes complete with the option of bottomless Bloody Marys.

Sometimes known affectionately as ‘Hair of the Dog’ or ‘Queen Amongst Cocktails’, Bloody Marys have become a weekend institution and the perfect drink to accompany a Sunday roast.

With this in mind, Peru Perdu has introduced this bottomless Bloody Marys offering to provide a saucy line-up of the tomato-based tipple, available every Sunday.

Alongside the bottomless Bloody Marys, you can also order one of Peru Perdu’s signature Pisco Sours, or bottles of fruity and fun Pornstar Martinis instead.

Finishing things off on a sweet note, there will also be a wide range desserts on offer, but one of the true standouts on the menu has to be the Dulce De Leche Cheesecake with meringue, which is arguably one of the most delicious desserts in Manchester and is undoubtedly the perfect finish to an exceptional Sunday roast.

Are we missing something? What about our four-legged friends?

Well, to make sure that our pups are too included in on the fun, Peru Perdu will also serve a complimentary dog Sunday roast – which comes with the option of chicken or beef, veg and bone gravy – and it’s available to order when two or more guests are dining in at the restaurant.

Peru Perdu will serve Sunday Roasts from 12pm -5pm every Sunday. 

In order to remain as safe as possible and comply with local lockdown restrictions and necessary social distancing measures, advance booking is always advisable.

Students will be able to take part in a build-your-own ramen workshop this week, led by everyone’s favourite pan-Asian restaurant group, Wagamama. 

The workshops will cost just £5 (all of which will go to a brilliant cause), and will include the time spent creating your perfect meal, the actual food, plus drinks and sides.

Wagamama has teamed up with mental health charity SHOUT to host this cosy ramen-making workshop. 

Students will be invited to join Wagamama chefs in the kitchen, selecting their own broth, protein and veggies, with perfectly-cooked noodles, before sitting down at the restaurant’s benches to slurp up their creations with fellow students. 

There’ll also be toppings and garnishes including kimchi, tea-stained eggs, chilli oil, spring onions and more.

With merch to take home too, and steaming bowls of the best-ever autumn dish, this is a one-off event you won’t want to miss.

Each £5 ticket includes your food and two drinks, plus a variety of the new Wagamama winter sides and sharers. 

All money raised will be donated to SHOUT to support the vital services they provide. 

A representative from SHOUT will also be in attendance to talk about student wellbeing and the services available from the charity. 

Wagamama says: “At Wagamama, we believe having a conversation is one of the most powerful ways you can support someone struggling with their mental health. Whether it’s a quick check-in via text or an open conversation over a bowl of steaming ramen. no chat is too big or too small to make an impact.

“This ethos is one we share with SHOUT, a free, confidential, 24/7 text messaging service for anyone in the UK who needs someone to talk to. After huge demand during Covid, SHOUT’s service has become increasingly essential + today SHOUT is more highly in demand than ever before.”

The Japanese and pan-Asian restaurant is donating £40,000 to SHOUT this year, plus providing perks and rewards for their team of volunteers, and hosting events in their spaces. 

The Wagamama ramen-building workshop will take place at the St Peter’s Square restaurant on Thursday 7 November between 2pm and 4pm. You can get your tickets HERE.

Manchester restaurants to add an extra £1 to bills to help fight homelessness this Christmas

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

A handful of local restaurants will be adding an extra £1 onto every bill over the festive season to help fight street homelessness.

People in Greater Manchester are once again able to give back while they dine at some of the best restaurants the region has to offer in the run up to Christmas, as the successful StreetSmart fundraising initiative is back for another year.

This year, 13 fantastic restaurants have come together to support local homeless charities as the campaign launched last Friday (1 November).

Manchester independents such as Mana, Climat, 20 Stories, and Tariff and Dale are among those taking part in the campaign this year, alongside several city centre branches chains such as Tampopo, Banyan, BOX, Manahatta, and San Carlo.

StreetSmart works by each participating restaurant adding an extra £1 to every bill they deliver throughout November and December, with all of the money raised going directly to local homeless organisations, thanks to StreetSmart’s official sponsorship from LandAid.

The funds raised by StreetSmart in Greater Manchester this year will support the crucial work of organisations such as CentrePoint, and Akt – a charity supporting LGBTQ+ young people aged 16-25 into safe homes, employment, education, or training. 

In 2023, Manchester restaurants alone raised a whopping £25,000 for these life-changing services in the local community.

“Many of us want to help the vulnerable people in our community during the festive period, and StreetSmart provides an easy way to do this,” explained Glenn Pougnet, who is the Director of StreetSmart.

“We’re grateful to see so many local restaurants stepping forward to help our city’s homeless.

“It’s amazing to witness the kindness that our community has to offer, and see the tangible impact of our efforts and funding in the community.
