The 'cheap eats' in Manchester where you can dine for less than a tenner

As the cost of living crisis continues to deepen, many will be looking for more ways to cut back on their spending - putting luxuries like meals out and entertainment on hold indefinitely. While eating out in Manchester can set you back a fair bit, the sheer size and diversity of the city’s food and drink scene means that there’s plenty of choice when it comes to dining out on a budget - you might just need to be pointed in the right direction.

And it needn’t be boring, so whether it’s Neapolitan-style pizzas, meat-filled burritos or 'rice and three' you’re after, there really is something for everyone. There’s plenty of cheap eats to be found in the suburbs of Greater Manchester, from Stockport’s Cafe Suanjuan and Mama Flo’s, to Levy’s Aunty Ji’s and Levenshulme Bakery, but if you’re working in town, or just planning a day out, there’s still a lot to discover - and it can be done without breaking the bank.
