Bunny Jackson’s is offering bottomless wings and fries with booze – seven days a week

Bunny Jackson's is offering bottomless wings and fries - with booze - every single day throughout the week.

The Manc The Manc - 22nd October 2020

Greater Manchester is much, much hungrier all of a sudden.

The region will move into Tier 3 restrictions from 00.01 on Friday – a world where pubs and bars can remain open and serve drinks if they provide ‘substantial meals’.

Simply put – no food; no alcohol.

Coincidentally, appetites have increased, and venues right across the region are pushing grub to the forefront of their menus – giving patrons a proper meal to pair with their pints.

Northern Quarter cafe and bar Koffee Pot already announced their ingenious, albeit jokey, ‘Breakfast Tasting Menu (eight small plates, spaced over eight hours, and a beer with each) but now we’ve got another bar finding an inventive way to mix things up.

The bar wrote: “If we’re being made to eat while we booze, then here comes Bottomless Bunny!”

Included in the offer are as many wings as you can manage (House BBQ; Buffalo; and Classic), with chips on the side and a choice of house lager, frozen cocktails and flavoured Lambrini.

You don’t need to make a booking to secure a spot (simply walk in) and every party will have their table for a maximum of 90 minutes.

The price is just £25 per person.

With the impending restrictions, this was a weekend when we were all supposed to be feeling gloomy.

But visit to Bunny Jackson’s might just be the remedy for that.

Plans to turn Stockport pyramid into Indian restaurant take MAJOR step forward

The vision for Stockport pyramid’s new life as an Indian restaurant and banquet hall has taken a big step forward today – and we finally have CGIs to help bring it all to life.

Royal Nawaab has now been granted planning permission to convert the landmark building into a luxurious restaurant and banquet hall, set to open early next year.

Royal Nawaab has a couple of restaurants in London and is now setting its sights on the north, aiming to create its ‘biggest and most luxurious destination to date’.

The epic project will be geared up to host parties, banquets and huge events.

There are lavish refurbishment plans for the former office building, which looms over the M60.

When it opens, there’ll be a 350-capacity restaurant on the ground floor, plus three premium banquet facilities ranging between 150 and 700 covers.

News of Royal Nawaab’s takeover of the Stockport Pyramid broke last year and the curry house was initially tipped for a 2024 opening, but it seemed like things had stalled until this major step forward.

CGIs shared today show that the Stockport Pyramid will be transformed with luxury details like gold ceilings, marble floors and chandeliers.

Mahboob Hussain of Royal Nawaab said: “Living close to Stockport, the Pyramid has always been an iconic symbol of the town for me. It is unique and we are thrilled to be bringing Royal Nawaab Manchester.

“This is definitely not ‘a curry house’. Royal Nawaab will be a destination and will attract visitors from across the UK and beyond to experience the best cuisine in the most stunning of settings.

“The attention to detail is incredible, and I personally have been involved in the plans throughout. It is a dream come true, and I know that anyone that visits will be in awe.”

Cllr Colin Macalister, Cabinet Member for Economy and Regeneration at Stockport Council, said: “We’re thrilled to see the iconic Stockport Pyramid brought back to life with the fantastic Royal Nawaab joining our community! It’s an exciting addition to Stockport’s vibrant food and drink scene, all within one of our town’s most prominent landmarks.

“Bringing 150 new jobs and working with local suppliers, Royal Nawaab’s arrival is a strong vote of confidence in Stockport’s future as our £1 billion town centre regeneration continues to take shape. We can’t wait to see the Pyramid open its doors again and warmly welcome Royal Nawaab to Stockport.”

Fozia Alharby of Eamar Developments expressed, “Dr. Abdullah Alnaeem, the owner, is delighted to announce that Royal Nawaab will open at the Pyramid in 2025.

“As long-time admirers of the brand and its legacy in the South, we are honoured to play a role in bringing this exceptional destination to Stockport.

“We are delighted to be a part of this project, which will create a premium experience that we believe will resonate with visitors from across the UK and beyond.”

The team behind Manchester’s much-loved Brewski and American Pies have announced a brand-new concept.

They’re claiming that Foldies, which is opening in the city centre later this month, will be ‘the world’s greatest sandwich shop’.

The team are already the proud creators of Brewski, home of outrageous creations like the ‘batter platter‘ (which included chicken poutine butties, beef shin rag pudding and a katsu curry fondue) as well as their deep-dish pizzas over at American Pies.

They recently shifted American Pies from its spot on Mosley Street, right near the Manchester Art Gallery, to Cutting Room Square in Ancoats, leaving that prime site ready for a new concept.

Enter Foldies, where you’ll find stone-baked sandwiches filled with overnight slow-cooked or cured meats and sauces made in house daily.

These folded pizza-style butties will be ready in 60 seconds and they claim it’ll be ‘your first true sandwich love’.

The dough for the sandwiches will be made with double zero flour, proved for 12 hours before being folded and cooked on a stone at 400 degrees.

Foldies will also served breakfast sandwiches, with fillings including scrambled sage and cheddar egg, and bacon, nduja, egg and crumbled goat’s cheese.

At lunchtimes, there’ll be everything from mortadella and pistachio pesto to a ‘pizza dog’ with crispy onions, Korean BBQ and fries.

Foldies is set to open at 58 Mosley Street at the end of November, and will be open from 7.30am-11.30am for breakfast, and 11.30am-6pm for lunch.

They’re currently giving away a chance to win free sandwiches for a year too – you can see more on that HERE.
