You can then add banana, Nutella and salted caramel; or fresh berries, compote and frosting."

"I’ve had something of a hit-and-miss relationship with Atkinsons, the Lancaster-based coffee roaster and tea merchant. I’ve enjoyed Atkinsons’ coffee over the years and regularly run into the team at events such as the Manchester Coffee Festival. I even made a special stop in Lancaster in 2017 to visit one of the three Atkinson coffee shops there, but was foiled by IT problems which delayed my arrival until gone midnight…"

"Two floors of grade II-listed Victorian finery – including a stunning glass ceiling – make up Mackie Mayor, a vibrant food and drink market. There are six food traders in total, serving things like wood-fired pizza and homemade tacos, while top-quality java comes from Wolfhouse Coffee. Dive into a range of espresso-based bevs and fancy pourovers."

"Originally created by chef Dominique Ansel in New York, the croissant-doughnut hybrid (cronut) caught everyone’s imaginations and spawned a succession of homages. The Alberts Schloss take on the sweet pastry is an utter delight, freshly baked in-house with a range of tempting flavours including chocolate gateaux and salted caramel with popcorn. This week, to tie-in with royal wedding fever, try the Eton mess: a golden sugar kronut with strawberry jam, vanilla cream, glazed strawberries, meringue kisses and fresh mint."

"One of the most traditional Instagrammable places in Manchester is Albert Schloss. Albert Schloss has a fabulous storefront decorated with Wisteria and I can guarantee you, that you won’t miss the restaurant, as there is always a group of people taking photos of this incredibly beautiful Instagrammable restaurant in Manchester. Albert Schloss is a German restaurant as you might guess from the name, so expect the German menu and some really great desserts."

Break the habit of grabbing your pre-work caffeine fix from the same old chain across the road – Remedy will see you right (We’re all about keeping it independent after all)."

By day, you'll find vegan breakfast options, raw fruit/vegetable juices and more - as well as homemade baked beans on toast - yum! There are also GF and/or vegan cakes to go with their speciality coffees, too."

"Sure, Prestwich may not rival Ancoats when it comes to food and drink, but there’s a lovely bunch of indie joints that are well worth the 20-minute tram from the city centre. Our favourite is All The Shapes, a casual bar-restaurant-café serving up fun, family-friendly vibes. Their speciality coffee is best enjoyed with a wedge of cake on their pretty, sun-soaked terrace (yes, sometimes the sun shines in Manchester)."

"The building of the Dancehouse Theatre has had a fascinating history full of transformation, morphing from meeting halls to a multi-screen cinema complex. In the 1990s it was restored to its former Art Deco splendour and was reopened as The Dancehouse Theatre, home to the Northern Ballet School. While the venue presents a broad range of performances including comedy, music and drama, dance lies at the heart of this North West icon."

"Described as "one of the best places to eat in Blackpool" the Viva Vegas Diner and Bar is located within the Viva Blackpool complex on the heart of Blackpool Promenade. Based on the retro feel of the classic 50s diner with a modern twist, the diner extends the ‘Vegas’ theme from its huge entertainment venue and looks like something straight out of a Tarantino film.
