Blink and you’ll miss them. February is the shortest month of the year which means you’ve got fewer days to make the most of the city’s eating out deals. January is always a massive month for deals, 50% off everywhere you look. This month some of those have carried over but out of January’s half price ashes, February’s new deals rise like a phoenix.

There’s pizza (there’s always pizza), there’s BYOB offers, there’s lunch deals and there’s even a cheeky oysters for a quid a pop offer. Did you know oysters used to be the food of the working classes? Imagine. Read on for the best of the month’s eating and drinking out offers and treat yourself to a bit of Manchester hospitality.

Here's a list of our recommended eating-out offers for the month of December, and they’re all handily broken down into suggested days.

Of course, there's always our trusty app too - free to download and with up to 60% off at some of the region's best restaurants.
