This weekend: Grub Food Fair ft. Yakumama & Mac Daddies

Fairfield Social Club comes alive each weekend with Grub food fair taking over the space from Friday to Sunday. With the best of the street food scene in the North of England rustling up some spectacular scran, the only downside is that you can’t possibly try everything. This week Grub veterans Mac Daddies whip up their trademark mac and cheese – vegan, deep fried or straight up, depending how you roll. Mama Z make their first Grub appearance with hearty Filipino fare on Saturday – we’re tempted by their ‘chicharon and suka’, a Manilan dish of pork scratchings and a dipping sauce. Sounds perfect with a pint of locally brewed beer from the bar. Yakumama will be representing throughout the weekend serving up Latin American street food to the hungry folk of Manchester. Sundays come with a twist – everything on the menu is plant-based, nothing meat or dairy here. Try Wanderer Junk Food’s take on classic guilty-pleasure dishes (that you don’t need to feel guilty about) such as their cauliflower ‘Cauffalo wings’ or black bean burger with all the trimmings.

Fri 9 – Sun 11 Feb, Fairfield Social Club, Archway 6, Temperance Street, Manchester, M12 6HR. FREE, www.grubmcr.com
