Save some money this May with eating out offers and discounts for every day of the week
Deals on meals out are hard to say no to, and with super cheap tacos, 2 for £25 roasts and all you can eat sushi, the restaurants of Manchester aren't skinny when it comes to an offer on food and booze either. Bonus.
With a May that's packed with bank hols, supposedly "sunny" weather, and plenty of opportunities for some good grub, save yourself a few pennies while you're at it.
Here's a list of our recommended eating-out offers for the month of May. As usual, they’re all handily broken down into suggested days. You're welcome.
