Explore Manchester’s Northern Quarter on a guided food walk. Sample four small plates at top eateries, discover street art, and hear local stories.
Lancashire oat-and-pork blood sausage from Bury, Greater Manchester. Heavy on oat groats, lighter on barley than Stornoway styles; served sliced as a breakfast staple.
Bury Black Pudding has been made in the Lancashire market town since the 19th century, with Cumberland wrestler Joshua Thompson producing it from his East Street cellar from 1865. His descendant Harry Reddish opened the first Bury Market stall in 1929, and the Chadwick family took over the stall in 1972, still operating today on a recipe dating to 1865. The sausage is now sold across UK supermarkets but the unboiled, sliced-from-the-pan version at Bury Market remains the canonical one. The Lancashire breakfast plate without it is incomplete.
