As you know, we’re heading back into a national lockdown this week. (And, if you didn’t know, where have you been hiding?)
This means that all hospitality venues, leisure businesses and non-essential retail will have to close from 00:01am on Thursday 5 November.
Well, where restaurants are concerned, it’s last orders and out the door by 10pm this Wednesday.
We know the score, we’ve been through a lockdown before and we’ll come out the other side but independent hospitality businesses need your support more than ever to keep going through the second round of enforced closures. And over the next four weeks, we’ll keep you updated with lots of different ways to support our city’s indie operators.
With the limited warning that restaurants have been given, many have found themselves with lots of stock to clear before the end of Wednesday and are putting on offers to make sure it doesn’t go to waste. Others are keen to get as many people, safely, through their doors as possible before they go.
So if you are heading out for a final meal before the new restrictions come in, we’ve rounded up some of the best offers available at Manchester restaurants today and tomorrow.
