You know how it is. You want to go somewhere good — somewhere with a bit of a buzz, something that feels like a proper day out. And your brain goes straight to the city centre. Rudy's. Afflecks. The Northern Quarter. Easy choices. Classic places. But Greater Manchester is bigger than town. Much bigger. And if you're willing to hop a few stops further out, there's a load of cracking spots waiting for you. No long queues, no ten quid pints, and no TikTokers filming their chips.
