– Port Street Pop Ups with Chaat Cart – Thursday 16th May
This Thursday 16th May we welcome the launch of our regular Port Street Pop Ups, first up we have Chaat Cart. They will be providing excellent organic Indian street foods, here are a few words about their wonderful food :
“Inspired by my childhood in India and travels around South Asia, Chaat Cart was born. We make Indian street food, (seriously addictive) dishes found on the streets of India, also called chaat. Chaat is a roadside snack usually sold from a cart, often wrapped in newspaper but always delicious! There are loads of different varieties found all over India, we focus on a handful and try to do justice to the legions of original chaat-wallahs. All our dishes are freshly made to order and just happen to be vegetarian.”
Chaat Cart Menu for Thursday 16th May / 6pm :
Masala Dosa – Watch yours being made! A south Indian street food dish, a dosa is a savoury crepe made from a batter of rice and black lentils. A Masala dosa is made by stuffing a dosa with a spiced potatoes filling (naturally gluten-free).
Indian Snack box – the best vegetable Samosa in Manchester, Vada – a savoury lentil doughnut, Pakora – everyone’s favourite onion fritters. Served in a box with Aarti’s homemade chutneys!
… Close your eyes and you are on Chowpatty Beach!

– Photos / Meet The Brewer with Liverpool Craft – Monday 29th April
Many thanks to all who made it down to yet another sell out event, our lovely scouse friends Liverpool Craft Brewing Company hosted the evening with five tasty beers and food from their associates The Clove Hitch
LCBC also gave us a sneaky peek at their new branding PLUS their tried out some of their new brews in the form of tasting bottles, which included Black Fox, Wst Coast Pale and Rye Pale Ale. We are told these are soon to be kegged! Watch this space!
– Toccalmatto – Year of Madness
We continue the ‘year of madness’ with two new offerings from Toccalmatto, they will both be on our taps very soon indeed.
Stray Dog
An English style bitter with a twist, it pours a translucent mahogany colour. On the nose there are hints of grassy/herbal hops. On the palate you have a slight fruitiness, grassy hop presence and a finish of breadiness.
Bruno is utilising Challenger, Styrian Goldings and Citra hops to create a very drinkable premium bitter with notes of citrus and peaches. Stray Dog is dry and light but with a lingering bitterness in the mouth. At an ABV of 4.2% it makes for a great session beer!
One Shot Alice
A Collaborative 5.5 % ABV “Red Rye Hoppy Saison” brewed with Bruno’s friends Gazza Prescott and the Spanish guys of Marina Cervesa Artesana Blanes.
Alice is inspired by a song of Sisters of Mercy so they decided to name the group of this collaboration, The Brothers of Myrcene.
Alice is made with a small percentage of Rye Crystal malt using the Belgian saison yeast. It is very hoppy and they have used Sorachi, Stella, Simcoe, Galaxy and Marynka hops in late and dry hopping. It is a fairly dry beer; it is balanced yet quite complex and has a very good bitterness with fruits and resinous tastes by the hops.
