At Pedro’s, they love to party all the time. Watch the celebration unfold while sipping a frozen margarita and eating a slice of pizza. It’s a really laid-back atmosphere here. No worries if there’s no table service; order your meal at the bar, maybe with an ice cold beer and a shot of Tequila, and they’ll let you know when your pizza is ready.
4. Bundobust
Manchester, Liverpool & Leeds
Indian street food & craft beer
Bundobust is a vegetarian and vegan Gujarati street food restaurant that is open seven days a week. Only Bundobust Brewery’s beer, as well as the best contemporary beer from domestic and international brewers, is available. At any time, walk-ins are welcome. They recommend two to three meals per person, but their variations make Bundobust a great way to share with others. It’s a good idea to share. It all started with a single tweet. In 2013, Mayur Patel reached out to Marko Husak through Twitter and encouraged him to collaborate on a street food event. Mayur’s family owns Prashad, one of the most well-known Indian restaurants in the UK, while Marko runs the Bradford-based Sparrow Bier Café, which specialises in craft beer. After a series of sold-out events and pop-ups, the combination of Gujarati street food and craft beer has proven to be too powerful to ignore. The first Bundobust restaurant debuted in Leeds in 2014, followed by Bundobust Manchester Piccadilly in 2016, Bundobust Liverpool in 2019, and the Bundobust Brewery in 2021. Bundobust has become a symbol of successful casual eating in the North, generally regarded as a game-changing and highly appreciated firm in the independent food and beverage industry.
5. Yard & Coop
Manchester, Liverpool & Leeds
They’ve consumed a lot of chicken throughout the years. They’ve tried a lot of marinades, a lot of sauces, and a lot of crumbs. Then they figured out the key to making their own buttermilk fried chicken. Yard & Coop is all about offering up authentic fried chicken with delicious sides, classic drinks, and craft beers while having a wonderful time. Come drink and eat in the Yard and the Coop.
