Manchester Food & Drink Blog
Before I start, this is rather a meat heavy post, so if you’re vegan or veggie and this isn’t your cup of tea, I’ll see you on the next one. That said, if you are vegan or veggie, you may be able to adapt this recipe, I haven’t had a go at it with a…
Lockdown had many casualties. One was Apotheca and sister food site, Dough. Dough was one of those places, before we had so much variation in vegan offerings, where I could take friends who had dairy issues, but who also offered plenty of gluten free options too. Though I admit, I wasn’t a fan of the…
Whilst our ventures out of Manchester may be few and far between for the near future (thank you new variants), in the meantime, Keeley and I still have one or to to talk about. One of these is Hartford Hall on School Lane. This one in particular is one I’m excited to talk about as…

Coming back to ‘normal’ has featured some amazing moments. Heading into the office my first day back on campus. Seeing my colleagues and students in person. The first press event back.
