Avid readers of this blog so far will notice an underlying trend of food! It has played a pretty important part in all of the posts so far and this week is no different! Yes it would seem the Northern branch of CitySocialising HQ is just as obsessed with food as the south!
Manchester has been a haven of all things food and drink over the past two weeks as the annual Manchester Food & Drink Festival rolled into town. I visited the festival pavilion for the closing weekend and spent far too long in the Robinson’s beer tent sampling the specially commissioned ‘Manchester Icon’ beer and even tried a cheeky half of ‘Old Tom’ – wow... that put a few hairs on the chest! Food wise I further cemented my status as walking Northern stereotype by dining on a limited edition Holland’s Coronation Street pie.
During the day I was also introduced to a new cocktail which was that fantastic I feel I need to share it with the world – Grant’s Twist (click here for the recipe)!
Now we are fully into Autumn I can focus on two of my favourite nights of the year, Halloween & Bonfire Night! I’m currently in the market for some original Halloween fancy dress ideas so any suggestions you have you can 'tweet' me @CS_RachT and I’ll be joining fellow CitySocialisers for the biggest firework display in Manchester at Platt Field Park this November 5th!
And in other news, we are sending our deepest sympathies to all the sore heads in London this morning after what looks to be a truly 'MONSTER MINGLE'! Check out the pictures here, I can’t wait for the Monsters to hit some of the Northern cities!
