Guerrilla Eats

Discovered Guerrilla Eats last year when they were running it as an occasional event. Was excited when I heard they were opening it up on a weekly basis in Ancoats, been a bunch of times as its literally in a building next to where I live - so really convenient to nip out for something nice to eat on a Saturday, really good place to bring friends and socialise begin a few drinks before a night out. Cool atmosphere, always seem to have new things to try - plenty of selection and decent drinks. Its a bit smokey, doesnt bother me but might put some people off I guess.. maybe some extraction could be added. Pretty cool transformation to what was a concrete shell - lots of places to sit - hope they keep on running it there!

Manchester's original street food collective. I only found this place after enjoying the bigger budget younger version Food Fight so when Guerrilla Eats was recommended I popped down at my first opportunity. It runs weekly on Saturdays 5pm till midnight with a collection of different street vendors, fully stocked bar and DJ playing through the night. We had a great time, it is a lot less busy than the food fight making it more enjoyable to have a drink, get some grub and have a seat. Guerrilla's USP over their competition is that they charge less money to the vendors and so do not have the more corporate restaurant sponsored vendors and instead a more authentic street food experience. Whilst the budget is lower the quality of food was just as good so I think they have hit the mark with this one. I knocked a star off as one of the vendors had sold out of stock and was closing when we arrived which was before 9.
