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.

Festive Bakes return as Greggs unveils its Christmas menu for 2024
Emily Sergeant
Greggs has unveiled its Christmas menu for 2024, and that means the Festive Bake is back again in all its glory.
The UK’s most-popular high street bakery chain has officially revealed the first round of its festive food and drink offering for the 2024 season, and there’s a few brand-new goodies joining the lineup this year, along with the return of some undeniable fan-favourites.
And of course, nothing spells Christmas at Greggs quite like the Festive Bake, right?
The chain’s classic crumb-coated pastry filled with chicken, sage and onion stuffing, and sweetcure bacon in a creamy sage and cranberry sauce goes down an absolute treat each year, and is a serious fan-favourite, so it’s no surprise it’s made a comeback for 2024.
‘Tis the season! Get ready to taste a ‘rapturous riot of flavour’ declares @Nigella_Lawson because the Festive Bakes are returning!
Thankfully for plant-based foodies, the Vegan Festive Bake has also made a comeback this year after being absent in 2023.
Another returning Greggs festive favourite this year is the Christmas Lunch Baguette, which is a freshly-baked baguette “jam-packed full of festive flavours”, alongside the brand-new Festive Flatbread with sage and onion-style chicken, sweetcure bacon, mayo and cranberry and red onion relish.
When it comes to sweet treats, the second round of the Greggs’ festive menu set to be released in late November is expected to feature lots more goodies, but for now, the yummy Toffee Fudge Muffin, and the indulgent Chocolate & Hazelnut Flavour Doughnut have both returned to satisfy your sugar cravings.

The festive drinks lineup this year includes some sweet new additions, alongside the popular Mint and Orange mochas and hot chocolates, and the Salted Caramel Latte.
Gingerbread is the new flavour for 2024, and you can get Gingerbread Lattes both hot and iced, as well as a Gingerbread Flat White.
All drinks are topped with whipped cream, and come with a range of festive sauces and toppings.
The 2024 Greggs Christmas menu is now available to tuck into across the UK from this Thursday (7 November).

‘Dashing dachshund’ pop-up cafe to welcome hundreds of sausage dogs to Manchester this Christmas
Emily Sergeant
Big dachshund fan? Love seeing lots of little sausage dogs in the same place? Looking for your little pup to make some sausage friends?
Well, you’re in luck, as the Dachshund Pup Up Cafe is back at the end of next month, and if the concept of the popular event wasn’t flipping cute enough already as it is, this time around, it’s a Christmas-themed edition, and it’s all sounding set to be the perfect festive day out in the city with your four-legged friend.
If you’re looking to get in the Christmas spirit early, then the ‘Dashing Dachshund’ pop up cafe – or we should say ‘pup up cafe’ – is returning to Manchester next weekend.
The adorable event will be filling a popular city centre venue with loads of sausage dogs to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.

Last year, more than 250 dachshunds visited the cafe to join in on the festive fun, and this year is expected to be no different, as the event organisers have secured a large city centre space for all the dogs to roam free.
Sausage dog owners and dachshund fans can mingle with many furry little friends, take part in a range of seasonal activities, and stock up on dachshund-related goodies as early Christmas presents.
The pups themselves can enjoy unlimited dog treats and free puppuccinos, while playing until their heart’s content with other sausages.

With up to 50 sausage dogs allowed per session, and festive fancy dress very much encouraged, each pup will get a Christmas present on arrival at the party, and will even have the chance to win some extra prizes if they’re the best dressed.
A dedicated photographer will be getting snaps of each session and there’ll be loads of Christmas props to use in the pictures.
So, if you fancy joining The Pup Up Cafe for “a sausage mad day” when it arrives in Manchester for Christmas on Sunday 17 November, then tickets will set you back £12 if you’re a sausage dog owner, and £15 if you’re just a dachshund fan who’s keen to go along for the fun anyway.
