The core coffee PKB uses for standard espresso, Piccolo, Flat While, Latte and Cappuccino is Workshop’s ‘Cult of Done’. Prices start at £2.30 for an espresso, rising to £3.50 for a cup of one of their exclusive filter specialities."

"Located in the beautiful Barton Arcade, you can find one of my all-time favourite coffee spots: Pot Kettle Black. They have another shop in Spinningfield, but this one is my favourite. Probably because of the beautiful interior of both the cafe and the stylish Barton Arcade."

"Pot Kettle Black serves an impressive menu of breakfast fit for any breakfast lover from 8 am – 4 pm. Awarded the best tea and coffee shop in Manchester, it’s also a great place to go if you just want a coffee. You can get breakfast here from just £6!"

"Located at the back of a fabulous gift shop, Fig and Sparrow is one of the newest additions to the Northern Quarter, and rapidly becoming a favourite. Do a little bit of shopping in the boutique, and relax with a cup of something warm in the coffee shop. There is a great selection of healthy snacks on offer here, as well as some old fashioned cold drinks, and homemade cakes; all served up by someone pretty wearing a vintage apron."

"Another city centre spot perfect for working in, Fig + Sparrow is incredibly warm and welcoming, with some outdoor seating allowing guests to take in the hustle and bustle of city life. Serving up top-quality coffee that they sourced from the North East, Fig + Sparrow also sells gifts and design products, too – a great little touch to the cosy independent cafe. Fig + Sparrow, 20 Oldham St, M1 1JA."

"Like many others, you might mistake Fig & Sparrow for a quirky trinket shop. But you’d be very wrong. Nestled to the rear of this popular independent lifestyle store is a quaint coffee shop that offers some outstanding beverages."

"The building Clockworks is in has stood for over 200 years and it was fundamental to them to create an interior that reflected that history. With the combination of exposed red brick, steel and iron they have managed to create a comfortable and unique look back into a twisted industrial era. It’s no secret they do one of the best breakfasts in town – the sausages are from a quality local butchers and they’re the star of the show."

"One of Liverpool’s best loved restaurants, Clockworks is a hidden gem on Wolstenholme Square that specialises in hearty food, ales and signature cocktails. Housed in an historic building, the interior stays true to its past. With the combination of exposed red brick, steel and iron they have managed to create a comfortable and unique look back into a twisted industrial era."

"Clockworks dabble in proper British grub, from an early-morning fry-up right round to a traditional Sunday Roast all. Meaty Brunch dishes on offer include ham hock benedict or a juicy pork belly on sourdough. Veggies need not worry as there are a range of waffles, veggie breakfasts and hearty porridge and granola bowls on offer."

"A fantastic cafe with a couple of locations in the city, Federal was founded by an English and Portuguese couple that have created an Australian-Esque brunch experience. The sexy vibes and laid back culture make federal a perfect way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy Manchester weekend. They have an extensive breakfast and brunch menu which includes a wonderful mix of great homemade food and coffee from Ozone coffee roasters in London."

"This Aussie-owned independent coffee shop serves an excellent roast from Big-Smoke-based Ozone, but these guys offer more than just a great cup of coffee. They also hold the title for some of the most Instagrammed brunches in Manchester. Ever since smashed avo has been a thing, their fresh and locally sourced eats have never failed to disappoint – which is probably why it often has people queuing out the door."

"Federal Cafe, Basil Chambers, 9 Nicholas Croft, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 1EY - Visit now. A New Zealand and Australian style café with incredible coffee, brunch, drinks and lunch options (plus: nice interior design)."

Takeaway orders can be made either in-store, through the Wolf app, or online via Deliveroo and UberEats. Open 10am – 3pm every Monday – Friday, we can’t wait to sink our teeth into something special from Wolf again."

"The first Instagrammable place that we visited in Manchester was a trendy coffee and breakfast spot called Hampton and Vouis, which reminded me of a show home in a luxury property development. I really liked the pink colours and beautiful designs and if you’re looking for a perfect photo spot in Manchester that is not so busy in the morning, head there!. If you need to store your luggage in a safe place, while you’re exploring the city, I recommend using LuggageHero – they have a lot of storage locations and amazing rates."

"Taking great pride its award-winning speciality coffee, Hampton & Vouis is still open this weekend in the heart of the city centre to grab yourself a freshly-brewed cup to go. 31 Princess Street, Manchester, M2 4EW. You can find more information via the Hampton & Vouis website here."

"As the name suggests, Merseyside Maritime Museum is situated in the Albert Dock and looks at the nautical side of Liverpool, with a particular focus on the port and the Titanic. Various exhibitions unearth the vast influence the port of Liverpool had on the world, with a number of original artifacts, vessels and ship models on show. You can also find the International Slavery Museum on the third floor."

"Yet another popular attraction on Albert Dock, the Merseyside Maritime Museum celebrates the history of the port of Liverpool. Here you’ll be able to check out full-sized vessels, maritime paintings and an exhibition on the city’s links to the Titanic."

"Organised by the Ashmolean Museum, which holds a world class collection of over 200 prints made by Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn, it will present the artist as an unrivalled storyteller through a selection of around 50 outstanding prints, dating from 1630 to the late 1650s. Widely hailed as the greatest painter of the Dutch Golden Age, Rembrandt was also one of the most innovative and experimental printmakers of the 17th century, and the works displayed at the Lady Lever will cover a varied selection of subjects including intense self-portraits, atmospheric landscapes, intimate family portraits, biblical stories and confronting nude studies. June 1 to September 15, 2019"

"Yes, we know, it's not strictly Liverpool, but it is well worth the short train journey across the river. For visitors to the Lady Lever, its location in the picturesque model-village of Port Sunlight will make for a pleasing, if slightly uncanny, addition to the experience. Both the village and the gallery itself are a legacy of the benevolence of English industrialist William Hesketh Lever, who wanted to share his collection with the public, even personally selecting works for display."

"A showcase of around 40 works by one of Britain's most iconic and controversial artists., the exhibition will include 18 loans from across the North West and National Museum Wales."

"If you want to fill your fridge with a few days’ worth of nourishing, vegan food with a Middle Eastern influence, get a delivery from The Ottömen. Stockport’s own veggie lockdown food saviours are more used to dishing up at sociable food markets like Grub but their transition online has worked really well as we found when we reviewed one of their veggie mezze bundles. The vegan options are plentiful."

"The Townhouse is luxury boutique hotel, situated within the Roman walls with its own 1699 Brasserie, where you can enjoy scrumptious food in relaxed surroundings. Serious cake lovers will love their Afternoon Tea, which includes an array of tarts, cakes, macarons and scones, plus two hours of free-flowing Prosecco to wash it all down with if you fancy!. Afternoon Tea £18.95pp, Sparkling Afternoon Tea £23.95, Bottomless Afternoon Tea £29.95pp"

"Chester Townhouse, 49-51 Lower Bridge Street, Chester, CH 1 1RS - Visit now. If you’re in town on business it’s a well-priced option, but if you’re visiting Chester to see the sights, you’ll struggle to find anywhere quite as agreeable as this beautiful independent hotel."

"Bridge Street Townhouse is a modern hotel in the center of Chester. You can walk to sights such as St. John's Baptist Church, Chester Racecourse, Booth Mansion and Grosvenor Park Miniature Railway. Bridge Street Townhouse has modern furnished rooms with en suite bathrooms and are fully equipped."

"One of the most atmospheric beer gardens in Liverpool, watch the world go by as you sit outside at The Peacock. Enjoy the buzz of Seel Street with a well-deserved pint and a delicious stone baked pizza. You will also never have a reason to leave your seat, because they’ll bring out the outdoor heaters once day turns into night.What more could you want?"

"A destination for original drinks, this Ropewalks bar offers creative takes on classic drinks. Try one of their alternative martini cocktails, such as the Cherry Cross the Mersey or enjoy a signature concoction. Our favourite is the Mexican Sloe Dance – Plymouth sloe gin mixed with the seductive tastes of Mexico."

"Day or night, sunshine or rain, The Peacock rooftop nest is open and, best of all, it's newly-refurbished. Enjoy some of the bars' cocktails and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. You can even order some artisan pizza too."
