Spring is officially here and we’re itching to get the Vanstaurant back to our beloved Manchester, so it’s time for a bit of undercover adventuring!
At the end of last year we discovered a street food collective called GRUB, who organise events in and around Manchester – perfect for us, then! We’ve been following them with interest for a little while now and in the last couple of weeks we’ve finally had the chance to see what they’re all about (lovely street food and delicious beer, as it happens!)
Our first street food adventure as customers with GRUB this year was at Runaway Brewery in central Manchester!
The photo above was taken in the middle of the day, by which time it was absolutely packed! We decided to stay outside as lots of people were queuing up for the tasty beer!
Here we are trying a pint for ourselves 🙂
It’s not all about the beer, though. Last week GRUB also hosted a spring fair at Sadler’s Yard, close to Victoria station. We got that early this time and, whilst the weather wasn’t brilliant, the food certainly was!
The pizza we tried from Honest Crust was so good that, after scoffing our own pizzas, we went back and got this beautiful margherita to share!
We got a great impression of GRUB – their events are filled with (and run by) happy and relaxed people who love great food and drink! GRUB also make a point of getting together an eclectic, international mix of traders in one space, to be sure there’s something for everyone!
We will be back!!! 😉
Our amazing Vanstaurant is getting a makeover at the moment, to upgrade its potential and to make it look even better than before. Big news coming up!
Ciao, a presto!
