Big flavour, no compromise. That’s Fuego.
Baity Palestinian
Kitchen
Authentic Palestinian Flavours
When Ali opened Baity, his mission was simple: bring the bold flavours and deep-rooted traditions of Palestinian cooking to the UK. Since then, Baity has become a local favourite, known for its hand-whipped hummus (72 hours in the making), signature Musakhan chicken, and that viral Palestinian Sunday roast with 9-hour pomegranate lamb and za’atar roasties.
Their cuisine has been mentioned in The Independent and the BBC, and their commitment to giving back to the community has been widely lauded. From a cosy Didsbury kitchen to national recognition, Baity is more than a restaurant; it’s a love letter to Palestinian cuisine.

Leopard Pie Pizza & Honey Butter Rings
Leopard Pie is flipping the UK pizza scene on its head, one Honey Butter Ring (HBR) at a time. Born in Manchester and already a cult favourite, they’re known for their signature Neapolitan pizzas and those golden, gooey, garlic-butter-soaked rings that locals can’t stop talking about.
Founder Lee’s journey started during a tough chapter in life. His daughter faced kidney failure, and without hesitation, he donated his kidney. Through that emotional time, food became a comfort, and pizza became a passion. In 2020, with the world on pause, Lee started hosting free Thursday night pizza parties to thank the NHS workers, and word quickly spread.
Today, they stay true to what made them special: generous spirit, bold flavours, and only the finest ingredients imported straight from Italy. Whether you’re here for the pizza, the HBRs, or the story, Leopard Pie delivers every time.
Can’t get enough? We get it. Follow their Instagram to keep the cravings satisfied.

Vietnamese Street Eats
+84 isn’t just Vietnam’s country code, it’s Gray’s way of calling home through food. Born and raised in the buzzing streets of Ho Chi Minh City, Gray grew up surrounded by the sizzling sounds and bold flavours of Vietnamese street food. After moving abroad in 2018, something was always missing, so he built +84 to bring those soulful flavours (and memories) to the UK.
Co-founded with Linda, his taste-testing partner-in-crime, +84 is where you’ll find freshly baked pan mei loaded with homemade pâté, mayo, and pickles, plus saucy rice and noodle dishes inspired by his childhood. Most recipes came straight from his parents, and every dish tells a story.
