Top 5 Manchester Student Eats

1. Crazy Pedro’s

For those who like a little party with their pizza, Pedro’s is the perfect choice. With a £5 lunch menu (£6 if you’re having a beer), you can enjoy a fiesta feast without breaking the bank. With great tunes, amazing food and a friendly, house party vibe, a couple of hours at Crazy Pedro’s is always memorable – if you don’t stay around for the tequila. More info.

2. Dogs ‘n’ Dough

Tucked away down an alley just off Albert Square, Dogs ‘n’ Dough’s green neon sign guides you to an underground gem. Put on your loose fitting pants and get ready to indulge in some stateside-sized treats in this far-flung corner of New York. Take advantage of the great hot dog and pizza deals during happy hour (4pm – 7pm Monday to Friday) and sample DnD’s top selection of cocktails for just a fiver each. More info. Image by @sequinthis

3. B.Eat Street

For the ultimate street food fix you can’t B.Eat (sorry) this now permanent pop up. With European, Caribbean, Indonesian, Indian, Chinese and US–style grills and stalls regularly in residence, you can satisfy all of your picky mates in one awesome venue. As the name suggests, once you’ve eaten there’s no need to go far - the roof terrace party goes on well into the night with regular guest DJs and themed nights. More info.

4. Turtle Bay

Boasting an amazing range of Caribbean flavours, the reasonably priced menu at Turtle Bay will leave you spoilt for choice. While you’re struggling to decide what to order, you can order a cocktail and soak up the rum and reggae atmosphere. A short walk from Manchester Met and University of Manchester campuses, Turtle Bay’s Oxford Street site is perfect for lunch, while the Northern Quarter restaurant is a great place to start a night out. Just go easy on the hot sauce! More info.

5. Changos

Recently opened on Oxford Street, Changos Burrito Bar is fast becoming a student favourite – and for good reason. With nothing on the menu over £5.50, you can grab a decent sized burrito on the go or relax with mates over a beer in the spacious dining room. Don’t be put off by the queues, the service is quick and you’ll be rewarded with a tasty and authentic Mexican street food experience. More info.
