Manchester's pop up food fair GRUB has confirmed the line up for its vegan themed special event - and the venue for its 2017 takeovers.

Grub will return to Alphabet Brewing Co, on North Western Street close to Piccadilly railway station, on January 28 and kick off another season of weekly street food markets with their 'ExtraVEGANza'.

Some of Grub's favourite traders have put together special vegan menus for the food fair, creating mezze and desserts fit for anyone who wishes to avoid meat and animal products.

And Alphabet has created 10 VEGAN BEERS just for the event, available on a menu that also includes the usual range of ciders, wines, and cocktails.

There's Italian panzerotti turnovers (a bit like calzone) from Fritto, xian bing 'pies' from Oh Mei Dumpling, tacos from Yakumama, mezze from The Ottomen (pictured below), and Punjabi treats from Leeds based Manjit’s Kitchen.

Serving up the sweets are Manchester based donut and cake experts Blawd Bakehouse and artisan chocolatier In Truffle We Trust.

Shudehill based Italian restaurant The Pasta Factory is selling take home vegan pasta and cheeses, and Los Antijitos will be bringing a range of Mexican salsas and hot sauces.

The event, on Saturday, January 28, runs from 12pm until 10pm and entry is free. The brewery is family and dog friendly, and more details about the venue can be found at the ExtraVEGANza Facebook page.

Jason Bailey, director of GRUB, told us: “We have so many vegan fans we really wanted to help them celebrate 'veganuary' as well as show you can have amazing, tasty grub without any animals being involved.

"It looks like it’s going to be very popular so we’d recommend getting down early!”
