Manchester Cheap Eats under £7: Arndale Market

Manchester's Arndale Market, a place that wasn't really on anyone's radar a few years ago, but now has a reputation for being one of the city's best spots to grab lunch. This is all down to a surge of contemporary street food traders that are doing amazing things from their small spaces.
What we ate in this episode...
Viet Shack: Lemongrass Chicken Burger (£4)
Salt & Pepper: Salt & Pepper Chicken + Chips (£6)
Wholesome Junkies: Kentucky Fried Cauliflower Burger (£6.50)
Holy Crab: 3 Lindisfarne Oysters (£7)
Blue Caribou: La Classique Poutine (£5.50)
Pancho's Burritos: Pork Chipotle Burrito (£6.80)

fantastic travelling down 8th November from South Shields and would never have looked at these places. The food looks awesome and given us a little something extra to look forward to. Thanks for the straight forward review and helping us find great places to have a lunchtime treat. awesome !

RIP Holy Crab and Blue Caribou - went last month and security guard said they had closed down. Sad cause they were two of my top picks from this video. Salt & Pepper were top notch though

[@omabayoungisaubameyang3242]

thanks mate, been looking for something more on the budget side

[@SuperGourmetguy]

i just can't get on board with poutine. its not substantial enough to be a main meal and is too damn expensive for what it is. if they gave me a chippy size portion then possibly

[@jamesdevilliers790]

Great video, thanks mate. I can't wait to get into that grub in 2 weeks!

[@TheProf777]

I anticipate moving to Manchester in the spring to open my new corporate offices at Media City ... super happy to be a new subscriber!

Remember to drop your T's if you want to sound like Manc, except when you forget (eye roll). As for the food in this place, yes it's generally good and fairly priced.

[@official_ashhh]

yum yum chicken

[@briwire138]

Looks nice food but the place is too congested with too few places to sit.

[@Dabluq]

Subbed

[@benjaminbuabin6976]

dude, you ate all of that in a day?

[@learnings7435]

For 7 pound you can buy a fresh whole chicken from the butchers lol Would try the oysters and the vegan stall on the one time tho as I've never tried em b4

[@faisalkayaanmeekah]

The time to cook? Energy costs?

@@faisalkayaanmeekah lol

[@learnings7435]

Come on bro. Your tryna tell me you want a wife who's ordering from outside all the time lol You can't be that cheap your scared off paying the bills. The time too cook. It's part of the experience. It's why some people call it soul food. Energy costs That's life brodie. And it's such sacrifices that makes dinner with the family as handcooked memorable

[@fandangobrandango7864]

@@learnings7435 these places are mainly there for people to eat on their dinner breaks and for shoppers, you aren't gonna go home on ya dinner and cook a chicken.
