Experience Details

On this food tour we visit not one but two of Manchester's most vibrant areas. You will hear the fascinating history of Manchester and it's people.


From the golden age of the Industrial revolution to the ultra cool and trendy city of today. On the tour we'll visit some of the city's most famous eating places and also some of our secret spots. Each place we visit has a special dish that tells a story of Manchester. We'll even enjoy a paired glass of wine at one stop and a unique Manchester tipple along the route. All included, no hidden extras.


You'll get to meet some of our chefs, bakers and producers. Our mission is to showcase our food heroes and introduce you to a side of Manchester you may never have seen or heard of before.


For every person who does this tour we donate a meal to Eat Well Manchester. A charity helping those struggling with food poverty in our city.
