A recent addition to Manchester's social scene – it only opened a month or so ago – The Trading Route is starting 2025 with quite the power move. Who's going to say no to free beer and a hot chicken sandwich, after all? If you're up for it, you can click over to their website, fill out the form to grab one of the limited vouchers for the offer, then just head down to St. John's on 13 or 17 January to claim your free treats.
A collab by the folks behind Trof, Manchester Union Brewery, and The Wandering Palate, The Trading Route is a buzzy new all-day venu in the St. John's redevelopment. In addition to serving craft brews and rotisserie chicken, the venue also features a deli section where you can pick up fine wines, artisanal cheeses, and other gourmet delights.
