Special menu: Independence Day feast at Urmston’s Get Chucked
This country loves a bit of Stateside fun, especially if it involves food. This Monday’s Independence Day is being celebrated by Urmston-based Get Chucked, as they present their Up In Smoke Club. Serving American style low’n’slow BBQ fare, tickets include a starter of Tex-Mex beef tacos or corn dogs, followed by a range of baby back ribs, 16-hour smoked pulled pork with beans, slaw and cornbread, rounding the feast off with bourbon pecan pie or deep fried cheescake. That’s right, deep fried cheesecake. Whiskey sours, gin fizzes and lager will be available to wash it all down.
Mon 4 Jul, Get Chucked, 52 Gloucester Road, Urmston, M41 9AE, 6.30-8.30pm, www.eventbrite.co.uk
