Free Sriracha, bargains from a swarm of Ancoats favourites and some very tempting tasting menus
Where did February go? Yep, it's March already and it will be Christmas before you know it.
So far 2020 has brought plagues of locusts, hail, pestilence and boils - or is that just in our office? But hey, at least payday came around quickly and with plenty of eating out bargains to be had, you can afford to go out and eat and drink yourselves into merry oblivion while you still have the chance.
Here are our recommended dining deals for the month and as usual, they’re all handily broken down into suggested days.
Of course, there's always our trusty app - free to download and with up to 60% off at some of the region's best restaurants.
