January food deal: 50% off at The Blue Pig

The Blue Pig is bringing a smile to the most depressing month of the year with a 50% off their menu Monday to Friday until the end of January. The Blue Pig’s winter menu uses fresh, locally sourced, seasonal produce to create innovative dishes with a distinctive Piggy spin, and you can enjoy legendary burgers. The vegan-tastic charred chilli and cannellini falafel is a Wire fave, alongside hearty mains and twisted classics such as the brand new chilli pulled pork with kimchi, crispy noodles and pickled beansprouts. Saving all that money on food is a great excuse to pig out on the extensive cocktail menu, of course. Explore the selection of modern classics and new creations at one of the Northern Quarter’s leading cocktail bars. The house espresso martini (Ristretto Martini), for example, sees coffee shaken with vodka and herbaceous Enosis Mastiha liqueur, while Mick Hucknell is a characterful blend (not unlike the Simply Red singer himself) of amaretto, vodka, lemon juice and homemade gingerbread syrup. Packing a powerful punch and a few smiles at the same time, The Blue Pig’s food and booze menu is the only way to get through the January slog.

50% off food, Mon-Fri until Tue 31 Jan, The Blue Pig, 69 High Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester M4 1FS. Tel: 0161 832 0630, www.thebluepigmcr.co.uk
