Food has played a surprisingly important part in shaping the city, and your guide will uncover the people, communities and stories behind it. Discover Manchester’s food and drink heritage, from the ice cream vendors of Ancoats’ historic Little Italy and the everyday diet of Victorian mill workers to the city’s connections with the birth of vegetarianism. Along the way, you’ll also delve into a little food science and discover how Manchester’s past continues to influence its thriving food scene today. With every stop kept secret until the day, part of the fun is not knowing exactly what’s coming next. You’ll visit some favourite local haunts, discover new flavours and see a different side of Manchester through the food and drink that helped make it what it is today. Come hungry.
