Drive down Bury Old Road on a Sunday morning and you’ll immediately notice one thing. A long, meandering queue stretches down the street as people patiently wait to pick up provisions from Let’s Fress - one of Manchester’s most popular, family run Kosher delis.
On an average Sunday, the deli, unassumingly sandwiched between a barber shop and takeaway, will sell more than 3,000 bagels - stacked almost as high as the shop. It’s part of their hugely popular £6 bagel deal, which includes freshly baked bagels, cream cheese, salmon, egg mayo and a choice of deli counter specials like the pickled herring.
Sitting in the heart of one of the UK's biggest Jewish communities, Let’s Fress has kept the price of it's meal deal virtually the same for over 30 years - but it’s not the only reason people have kept coming back. Straddling the border of Prestwich and Whitefield, the deli is very much a family affair, though its creation was rather serendipitous.
