If you’re looking at the hectic Christmas calendar and wondering how you’re going to fill the time in the new year, our round-up of the best deals in January is just the present you need. As restaurants and bars try to tempt you away from your New Year’s Resolutions, they’re providing deals and offers to get you eating and drinking like Christmas dinner is just a memory. Whether it’s high end dining and the glitz of Spinningfields at Australasia or the more industrial neighbourhood stylings of Elnecot, January deals have enough to keep you sated for less.
Ancoats pick: 40% off Food at Elnecot
The number of restaurants popping up in the booming Ancoats area means Elnecot feels like one of the old kids on the block. Nestled in a corner of Cutting Room Square, the neighbourhood restaurant and bar is offering 40% off food and 20% off booze throughout January if booked ahead.

Early bird: Decreasing sale at Australasia
The glass pyramid at the entrance to Spinningfields has been a mainstay on the Manchester fine dining scene for many a year and this January is the perfect time to head there if you haven’t already (or if you have) Australasia is holding a January sale with a sliding discount sale. The first week of Jan nets you 40% off food and drink, and this decreases by 10% every week until you get 10% off for the last seven days of the month. So, if you can face a big night out so soon after New Year, you can get a near half price meal
Australasia, The Avenue, Spinningfields, Manchester M3 3AP. Tel: 0161 831 0288, www.australasia.uk.com
Meal deal: Arancini and a bottle of wine for two – £20 at Flok
Stevenson Square’s Spanish inspired sherry bar, Flok, is bringing an Italian touch to its food with its selection of arancini balls and this January you can get your hands on arancini and wine for 2 for just £20. With vegan options as well as meat, you can opt for the house beer if you prefer.
Flok, 5 Stevenson Square, Manchester, M1 1DN. Tel: 0161 236 7212, www.flokmcr.co.uk
Half off: 50% discount on food at Albert Schloss
We’re hoping the discount at Manchester’s Alpine inspired bar is mainly around for the pun, as they named it 50% Schloff (see what they did there) and you can get your fill of meat and cheese for as cheap as chips all January with their half price deal.
Albert Schloss, 27 Peter Street, Manchester M2 5QR. Tel: 0161 833 4040, www.albertschloss.co.uk
Tasting menu: Try out new restaurant Mana in the new year

The smaller seven course menu is only available Wednesday and Thursday and Saturday lunchtime.
