Things are difficult in the Manchester restaurant scene right now. And despite some limited moves by the government to try and help businesses, they're still struggling with prices of raw materials going through the roof - everything from cooking oil to the gas that's needed to pour your pint - to energy price hikes.
But those plucky folks who just want you to have a good time won't back down, and October will see some great new spots opening around town. So go and support them, if you can, because these lot deserve it.
