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.

Beloved Manc butty shop Bada Bing set for a sensational return to the city centre
Danny Jones
Sandwich lovers rejoice because one of the finest butty shops to ever grace Manchester is returning: that’s right, Bada Bing is bada-back!
The Sopranos-inspired deli and sandwich shop that took its name from one of the central locations featured in the iconic US drama (yes, the strip club), was a huge success when it first opened in Manchester a few short years ago, so it was a huge blow when it closed in February 2022.
Starting out by serving sandwiches out of a window at The B Lounge pub on Paton Street near Piccadilly, before moving to a small kitchen on Radium Street and eventually setting up their stall inside Ancoats General Store, they would regularly have lines around the block every lunchtime.
These Italian-American sarnies were so popular you’d often struggle to get your claws on one – and believe us, they really are a two-handed task – as they’d sell out on what felt like most days. But now, whether you were a regular or someone who missed out, there is hope once again:
Announcing their sensational return to a new site over in the Northern Quarter, which will now mark the fourth premises they’ve popped up at, Bada Bing is back with a bang and, as you can, they dropped the news with one of the best reveal videos we’ve ever seen.
If you know, you know…
Set to take over 125 Oldham Street, owners Sam Gormally and Meg Lingenfelter haven’t yet graced us with an opening date but the new unit should hopefully be open sooner rather than later.
The duo, who previously worked at fellow NQ favourite Another Heart to Feed, came up with the concept during lockdown and it didn’t take long for the idea to take off, nor for them to earn their spot amongst the very best sandwich places in Manchester.
Seriously, these things were so big and unwieldy (in the best way possible) that they even used to come with eating instructions: both hands and the trademark Tony Soprano hunch recommended, though the slightly stained wife-beater, boxer shorts and open dressing gown look is optional.
From slices of provolone cheese, all the thinly sliced Italian meats you could think of and the closest thing to actual ‘gabagool‘ as you’ll find in Greater Manchester, the menu was fitting of being served up to the iconic characters that once sat outside Satriale’s and a big approving grin from the man himself.
Simply put, we cannot wait and we will certainly keep you posted when we find out exactly when Bada Bing confirms their official reopening date.
Burger King is giving away free burgers to new drivers today
Emily Sergeant
Burger King will be giving away burgers to drivers who have recently passed their tests for free of charge today.
In case it wasn’t on your radar, tomorrow (Thursday 24 July) is actually National Drive-Thru Day, and in a bid to properly celebrate this unofficial holiday, Burger King has decided to hand out a bunch of freebies to newbies today.
The fast food chain is asking all new drivers to “buckle up”, head on down to their nearest Burger King drive-thru, and help themselves to a free burger.
All newly-qualified drivers will be able to take their pick from either the Whopper or Chicken Royale without parting ways with a penny, and all they’ll need to do the claim their freebie is simply show off their learner’s ‘L Plates’ to the staff at their local Burger King restaurant.

Hundreds of Burger King drive-thrus across the UK are taking part in the one-day promotion – including several across in Greater Manchester.
Although it might seem a little too good to be true, there’s a reason Burger King has chosen to dish out the freebies, and that’s because the company says it knows that one of the first activities newly-qualified drivers like do once they’ve passed their test is make a pit stop at a drive-thru with their mates to show off their new wheels and skills.
Sometimes though, navigating a drive-thru for the first time can be tricky, and this leaves new drivers feeling a bit like a rabbit in the headlights.
Luckily with this one-day Burger King offer, new drivers’ first drive-thru trip couldn’t be any easier.
The offer is available nationwide today (Wednesday 24 July) at Burger King drive-thru lanes only, while stock lasts, and newly qualified drivers must verbally mention “BK Plates” at the drive-thru lane to unlock their free burger.
