Overview

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.

Itinerary

Ancoats became the world's first industrial suburb at the end of the 18th century. It was the beating heart of the British empire's Industrial revolution. Now the area has been voted one of the top places to live in the world. Old mills have been restored and converted into flashy apartments. The area is full of bars, restaurants, deli's and producers. Making it the perfect place for a food tour. During our walk around Ancoats and the Northern Quarter we'll share stories about the area's incredible history. From the criminals who ruled the streets to the weird and wonderful events that have shaped the city. We'll be visiting 6 locally run, independent food vendors during the tour, enjoying amazing flavours and tastes representing the communities and stories of Manchester. From music to football, industry to activism. The story of Manchester has it all. We'll share these tales as we take you through the backstreets of our city. Visiting hidden gems and places that locals have loved for years. Fascinating history, amusing anecdotes and amazing food all star on our 3.5 hour food tour.

Ayesha the fantastic tour guide!

Published on Mar, 2025

Ayesha was our tour guide today (17th March) and I can’t sing her praises highly enough! There were only four people in our group, five including Ayesha, and we all got along so well that we have exchanged contact details with each other :) As for the tour, I feel Ayesha perfectly balanced humour, history and food to make for a great afternoon. We had everything from a lovely focaccia sandwich to Caribbean, Asian, New York pizza, pub food, as well as ice cream. It was a lovely way to spend the afternoon of my husbands birthday! I would highly recommend Ayesha as a tour guide as well as the tour itself. Kirsty and Floyd :)
