Now that I am working out of our Manchester office, I get the added benefit of using the rather nice ‘in house’ restaurant that is exclusively for the use of the employees of the building that I work in.

It’s always lovely and quiet and has great views out on to the street, great for people watching etc, and a really easy way to get away from work for a little bit. Really competitively priced too.

I’ve been a few times since I got back, however today’s lunch was the best ever!

Home made rustic beef pie, chips, peas and gravy – deliciously Northern!

(they also sell Costa Coffee and Hollands Pies – win!).

On this occasion, she even refused to charge me for the chips as I got the end of the tray and she felt that I hadn’t got a full portion (can totally confirm that I had MORE than enough – there were enough to spill off the plate – ha!).

Here’s to me getting to eat some nice warm (and fairly balanced) Northern Fodder lunches from now on! NOM!
