Some of the best Manchester restaurants doing takeaway and collection during lockdown

As Lockdown Part III grinds ever onwards, most of us are missing restaurant quality food and drink, and the general experience of going out for a meal.

While it might be a while before we can do that again, luckily our great city is chock-a-block with high quality food venues who are still serving up top scran for takeaway and collection.

As such, these are some of the best places in Manchester offering takeaways, collections or at home kits throughout Lockdown 3.0…

Rudy’s Neapolitan Pizza

Now available nationwide, the Ancoats-based pizza restaurant that was once voted as one of the best in the world is available at home. You can either get hot, ready-made pizza delivered, or opt for their Bake at Home pizzas so your dinner is as fresh as possible. 

Federal

Easily one of Manchester’s best-known brunch spots is Federal. You can pick up your freshly poached eggs or avocado on toast fix between 8am – 4pm in the NQ.

Dunkin’ Burgers

New to the Arndale, Dunkin’ Burgers combine big fat juicy burgers with a whole pot of gravy to dunk your burger in. Delicious, and seriously Northern. 

Gooey

Be sure to pre-order your Gooey cookies and doughnuts as they pretty much always sell out. You can choose delivery or collection!  

Zouk

Available on Deliveroo or for collection Zouk has got you covered for all your curry needs, including vegan and vegetarian options. 

Nell’s Pizza

My personal saviour for Lockdown 1.0 was a whopping great 22″ pizza from Nell’s when they were popped up in Common. For now, you can still get your hands on a giant slice from the Beagle in Chorlton. 

Hawksmoor

For the nights when you want to be a little bit posh you could opt for the Hawksmoor experience at home, including their Rib-Eye box which features 35-day dry-aged rib-eye, ultimate oven chips, creamed spinach, bone marrow gravy and sticky toffee pudding.

Bundobust

Fantastic vegetarian Indian food delivered right to your door. What’s to complain about?! 

Northcote

Possibly the poshest option on the list, a Northcote delivery means you can have Michelin-starred cuisine at home. 

Six by Nico

If you’re thinking to yourself ‘one course isn’t enough’, then look no further than Six by Nico’s six-course slap-up, Home by Nico. Perfect for a boujee night in or a special occasion. 

La Bandera

If you fancy a taste of the Canary Islands so you can pretend you’re somewhere hot with a nice cocktail in hand, La Bandera’s got you covered. 

Blue Caribou Poutine

Sometimes (all the time) you just need chips loaded with cheese and gravy and that’s ok. Blue Caribou have started up their delivery service again which also includes their range of Poutine Kits all straight to your door.

South Manny Flavas

Your one-stop shop for some PROPER fried chicken. You won’t be disappointed.

This & That

A Manchester institution now offering their famous ‘Rice & Three’ for pick up at their Northern Quarter location. 

Viet Shack

With delivery from both their Arndale Market and Ancoats locations you’ve got no excuse really. 

Wholesome Junkies

Entirely plant-based junk food available on UberEats, Deliveroo and even DIY Home Kits in case you fancy something to do. 

Ciaooo Pizza

Seriously naughty pizzas, my personal favourite is the We Mamma with tonnes of mozzarella, Parma ham and a burrata in the middle. 

Zumu Sushi 

For those of you who like fresh and delicious sushi, Zumu has a massive menu plus sides, and hot mains including a fantastic Chicken Katsu Curry.

Honest Burgers

Available for delivery or click and collect on all juicy burgers including their bacon gravy special. Plus their rosemary chips are mega. 

Northern Soul Grilled Cheese

You can either opt for their ‘Grill It Yourself’ kits which comes with everything you need to create your own basic grilled cheese (you can add anything you want that you can find in your fridge or kitchen cupboards) or you can of course, simply get a takeaway! 

Great North Pie Co.

Some of the best pies available in town now available for delivery. They’re all baked fresh and delivered in chilled packaging for the freshest pie!

Blue Eyed Panda

Seriously impressive traditional Chinese dishes, including dim sum plus a good range of vegan and gluten free options. They also do a Salt & Pepper Platter which is fantastic.
