Bread and Butter

I'm never one to keep quiet about new discoveries and fab finds and this place definitely qualifies. 

A friend and I planned to meet today, I owed her after she kindly bought me dinner last week and subsequently sent me home drunk (and on a school night!) so we headed to Tib Street (Manchester) for a Bread and Butter fix. 

It's the sweetest place, very pink and girly and we frequent regularly. I adore their cup cakes and was so impressed by their Guinness Cake that I stole the recipe and had a go myself, with huge success! (Nigella does an excellent version)

Their main offering are yummy piadinas with fillings like homemade meatballs and mozzarella, spicy chic pea, onion marmalade and mozzarella (my personal favourite) and minted lamb, although this has recently turned into Moroccan lamb which doesn't work so well. As an extra you get a small serving of homemade coleslaw and salad. 

It can be quite hit and miss, depending on what you choose but for the mega cheap prices, plentiful peppermint tea and glorious sweet offerings you have to keep going back. They did once stock Twinings Rose Tea but haven't had it lately which is a shame as it tasted just like turkish delight, I loved it. 

I'm all for supporting local businesses and when the seats are heart shaped I simply can't resist. 

I've heard a few negative comments (only a few, mind) about the service but whenever I go in the staff are all really friendly and the service speedy. Plus some of the girls who work there look rather fabulous and their outfits are always worth a look. 

Often on a Saturday when the boyfriend is otherwise engaged I'll treat myself to Glamour magazine and lazily sit with a latte and huge slice of cake before wandering round the shops trying on shoes I can't afford. Perfect. Well, nearly, perfect would be being able to afford the shoes! 

Check it out!
