There are a lot of great places in Manchester that serve options designed for a couple of mates to take it on. We are here to give you a list of the best places for a mates date that will give you and two or more a great meal to share.



Brewski Chorlton
Our first choice is Brewski Chorlton. They make platters called Mates Dates. They’re sharing meals that are perfect for you and a friend, or possible two friends if it is too much for the two of you. They range from ÂŁ45 to ÂŁ55 depending on which one you chose. Our favourite one is called the Og. In this mega meal, you get two double cheeseburgers, two lamb birria burritos, two fried chicken burritos, buffalo fried chicken tenders and finally skin-on fries with chipotle sour cream. That sounds like a fantastic meal! There is also a cheese mate date, In that massive meal, you can find. Garlic knots, nduja butter cheesy garlic knots, deep-fried lasagna bites with hot honey, aubergine parm, meatball parm, fried chicken with nduja butter and chive ranch, goats cheese bonbons, sweet chilli and buffalo tots, chive ranch and hot honey tots, deep-fried calzone with marinara. This has to be one of the best places for a mates date!

They have a fantastic selection of food boxes to choose including their king crab box, which features Alaskan king crab, corn and two sides of your choice. Or their boneless box, which features their handspun chicken tenders in a sauce of your choice! We’d recommend their seafood platter box. For seafood fans, it should be your choice.
