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.

Co-op Live has now launched exclusive backstage dining experiences – which means you could be having dinner inside the very dressing rooms that have hosted music megastars.
These new groundbreaking new Backstage Private Dining experiences feature menus curated by Simon Rimmer.
This will be the first time that the arena’s most exclusive artist areas have been open to guests.
There’ll be 10 selected dates from May 2026, where ticket-holders can eat dinner in dressing rooms that were previously occupied by the likes of Lady Gaga and Bruce Springsteen.
Guests will be able to choose from several packages, from intimate receptions and private three-course dinners inside the dressing rooms, to lavish extras like a Bentley chauffeur-driven arrival, live entertainment, and extended backstage access.
The most premium package will also offer access to Co-op Live’s adidas Originals recording studio.
Proceeds from the Backstage Private Dining will go towards supporting Co-op Live’s official charity partner, the Co-op Foundation, which tackles inequality and supports communities across the UK.
Chef Simon Rimmer commented: “Having worked with Co-op Live for some time, it’s incredibly exciting to now be involved with this unique series of Backstage Private Dining.
“It’s a rare opportunity to further combine the world-class music venue with exceptional food, and I can’t wait to showcase how these experiences can come to life together, creating truly unforgettable evenings for our guests.”
Becci Thomson, Chief Commercial Officer at Co-op Live, said: “From day one, our ambition has been to challenge expectations of what an arena can deliver, and we’re now delighted to introduce a new dimension of premium hospitality at Co-op Live.
“This collaboration unlocks new creative potential within the venue, offering experiences that have not previously been possible. It reflects our commitment to innovation and meaningful impact within the communities we support.”
Designed and delivered in partnership with Taylor Lynn Corporation (TLC), Founder and CEO Liz Taylor said: “Opportunities like this are rare. Co-op Live is a venue built for scale, spectacle and ambition — and that’s exactly how we are approaching these events.
“Whether it’s an intimate milestone celebration or a brand hosting at the highest level, these will be immersive, one-night-only experiences designed to deliver real impact. We are proud to have been chosen to help shape this next chapter, bringing creativity, precision and bold thinking to a space that demands nothing less.”
Salford industrial estate bakery with incredible cinnamon rolls to open new site
Daisy Jackson
Mayya Bakery, a local ‘hidden gem’ with incredible cinnamon rolls, is set to open a brand-new bakery that will make it significantly less hidden.
Until now, Mayya has been quietly trading from an industrial estate in Salford, where it’s built a great reputation for its bakes despite an off-the-beaten-track-location and relatively little social media fanfare.
It opened its doors in 2024, operated by former primary school teacher Meli and her husband, dentist Oguz.
This is an artisan bakery with a real Turkish flare, with plenty of comfort food like freshly made gözleme (or gozzies for short) and bigger dishes if you fancy sitting in.
Their counters are stuffed with sweet bakes, like their perfect cinnamon rolls, plus loaves, babka, cookies, and homemade cheesecake.
For bigger dishes, you’ll find breakfast dishes like Turkish eggs, Simit (a traditional sesame bagel) breakfasts, and menemen.

And now Mayya Bakery has revealed plans to open a new location in a much more prominent spot in town, with signs appearing in the windows of a unit on Chapel Street.
The sign reads: “Everything is homemade – including this picture.”
It also quips: “They called us hidden gem… not hidden anymore.”
Mayya will open on Chapel Street soon – keep an eye on our food and drink Instagram page The Manc Eats for the latest.
