Canvas Social are offering an irresistible price for steak and chips at its swanky new restaurant space.

Canvas on Oxford Road is fast becoming one of the hottest self-contained event spaces in the city, with a menu to make your mouth water — all for a reasonable price. This stylish new venue opened its doors last summer in the city’s new fashionable district at Circle Square.

It’s already known for its vibrant entertainment held across several floors and its spacious, minimalist industrial style. But what you might not know so much about this cool hangout is the restaurant upstairs, now called Canvas Social after having an overhaul.

This airy dining space has a classy feel and a more relaxed vibe to it, where you can chill amongst the art as you slump into the soft leather chairs. The new kitchen team at Canvas Social is Ellie Grimshaw and Kyle Wilson, the same people behind the nearby pop-up shipping container village, Hatch.

After their recent venture, Block Steak Shop, the pair have now moved into this new space at Canvas Social serving French-style steak frites alongside its North American cousin, the Philly cheesesteak sandwich, and somewhere in between the two cuisines, the LA-born French dip sandwich. 

If those work lunchtime salads just haven’t offered you enough substance and you’re looking for a treat involving some stodgy goodness, the steaks here will definitely hit the spot. While they’re not your special occasion fanfare steaks — like the kind you’ll find at Hawksmoor — they are juicy and come in a variety of servings to please both your palette and stomach.

Meat is locally reared, grass fed, free range and dry aged sourced from top Manchester butchers Littlewoods. A perfectly cooked bavette (£12.50) or flat iron steak (£10.50) are served with your choice of sauce (they do a creamy peppercorn) and a big rustling pile of skinny rosemary and sea salt fries. It’s a cracking midweek dinner for just over a tenner.

The drinks menu has had an overhaul too and if you’re watching the pennies, you’ll like the price of the cocktails. For £4.50 you can get any cocktail, including a Pornstar Martini, and the wine list is easy on the wallet too.

An Entreflores Crianza D.O.C Rioja to accompany your bavette steak and chips costs £4.50 and is the most expensive glass of wine on the menu. The house red and white at £12 a bottle is an absolute steal bringing a steak dinner for two with a bottle of wine to well under £40 — get in!

If you’re hungover or wanting to line your stomach before going to a gig downstairs, you might want to go for the extra carbs that a Philly cheesesteak sarnie provides. Seared steak is stuffed into a sub roll with fried peppers, onions and melted mozzarella cheese. It’s also served alongside those house fries seasoned with rosemary salt and is even cheaper at £10 exactly. The French dip is the same price and served with a pot of beef jus (gravy to you and me) for dunking.

If you aren’t into steak, there’s also a fried buttermilk chicken ciabatta with buffalo sauce and melted mozzarella. Or you can get stuck into some loaded beef dripping fries topped with either hoisin duck or chorizo.

Veggies can get in on the action too, replacing the steak with meaty Portobello mushrooms. And if that’s not enough, sides include buttery, spiced corn ribs and deep-fried dauphinoise potatoes.

Canvas Social is open Tuesday-Sunday with food served from midday-9pm. The bar is open until midnight. Find out what’s on or book a table at the Canvas website.

A Lancashire-based Turkish restaurant loved for its authentic cuisine is set to open a second venue in Manchester.

Ottoman Bar & Grill is set to be the latest addition to Manchester’s ever-expanding and bustling food scene.

Becoming the second site, it will open at Affinity Living’s Riverside complex situated on the edge of Salford, across from Spinningfields, making it the family-owned eatery’s first in the city.

The family already have a well-established venue in their hometown of Chorley that’s famous among locals – where regulars flock to sample dishes of authentic Turkish cuisine.

The restaurant will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner at its new Manchester location.

Opening in February next year, diners can expect menu highlights including the delicious chicken and lamb shish kebabs, freshly made bread and hummus and specials such as the lamb butterfly – as well as a delightful selection of vegetarian dishes.

The decor will feature elegant furniture against a striking colour theme with vibrant pampas grass, giving the perfect ambience to enjoy an exquisite dining experience for any occasion.

Ottoman Bar & Grill / Affinity-Living

Ugur Ansin, director at Ottoman Bar & Grill, said: “We cannot wait to open the doors to our Manchester city centre restaurant in Affinity Living Riverside next year.

“We’ve built a solid reputation in Chorley for providing the best quality food alongside a second-to-none service. 

“My team has invested their decades of experience as butchers and working in Turkey’s top restaurants into Ottoman – creating a truly authentic dining experience.

“Manchester was the natural next step for us in opening a second restaurant, and we’ve got big plans to take our dining experience nationwide in the next few years. See you very soon Manchester.”

A popular pub chain is dishing out a free carvery to anyone who can finish its new limited edition dessert challenge.

Greene King has launched a new limited edition Carvery Sundae – which consists of a sweet ice-cream dessert smothered in lashings of hot savoury gravy.

The unusual take on a sweet and savoury-style dessert will be available for two Sundays only – November 26th and December 3rd.

Greene King

The challenge is available at 40 participating sites across the UK, including five pubs in Manchester. Those taking part will have to finish all of the the hot and cold dessert to win a free carvery.

Challengers will have a choice of two flavoured sundaes: the ‘Ultimate Ice Cream Sundae’ which consists of two scoops of vanilla and chocolate ice cream, lava cookie, Twix, Malteasers and Smarties. 

Or, the ‘Choctastic Sundae’, which consists of one scoop of vanilla and chocolate ice cream, lava cookie, Twix, Malteasers and Smarties. Either choice will of course come with a generous pouring of the brand’s own gravy to top it off.

Greene King

The pubs that are getting involved in the gravy sundae madness around Greater Manchester include: The Barlow Croft in East Didsbury, Beach in Littleborough, Bee Hive in Bolton, Mottram Wood in Hyde and Red Robin in Wigan.

Sophie Howells, Marketing Manager for Greene King Pub & Carvery, said: “The Carvery Sundae is the perfect balance of sweet and savoury, featuring two types of ice cream, and a wide range of toppings. 

“The hot gravy might not be for everyone, but it certainly makes for a unique experience.

“Best of all, if you finish it, you get your next carvery on us. Once you’ve polished off your Carvery Sundae, a team member will give you a receipt to redeem a carvery meal the next time you’re in the pub.”

To take part in the challenge and be in with a chance of winning a free carvery, customers will need to ask for a topping of gravy on their sundae when they order.

The limited edition Carvery Sundae is available on Sunday, November 26th and Sunday, December 3rd at selected sites only.
