With three of those locations right here in GM — Great Northern, Withington and their original venue in Northern Quarter — you’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t rave about the stuff these guys push out of the kitchen and they’re one of the most popular restaurants of any kind in the city centre. Dead Man's Fingers 2023 Edition is made here in good old Blighty – at the Bristol & Bath Rum Distillery, to be precise, which houses a 500-litre double retort rum still and 'the largest selection of rum you’ll probably ever encounter.' We’re getting towards the business end now and once again branching further out into various parts of the region: three, to be specific, and the one thing they all have in common is the almighty Shakedown. With 12 premium rums on offer in this tasting experience by Drinks by the Dram, you can enjoy a tipple every other evening in the lead-up to Christmas – ideal if you want a slightly less boozy experience. Number 18 is another one that perhaps because of its location(s) doesn’t get anywhere near enough respect as it deserves, That Burger Place is the California-inspired burger and while we’ve never known exactly what that means beyond having lettuce, tomato and onion, we’ve not been disappointed yet.

Honest Burgers have found a real home here among the people of Manchester, so much so that they even created their own Mancunian special: a beef burger with smoked bacon, cheddar, Honey Rum BBQ Sauce, oh-so-crispy shoestring fries’ yellow pepper mayo, tomato, lettuce and onion. The red and white box not only looks suitably festive but is perfect for the eco-minded as it's made of cardboard.The selection box includes 24 5cl miniature bottles of flavoured and spiced rums including mango, hazelnut, cherry and passion fruit. Yum. In at number four is Cane and Grain, not only because they really know what they’re doing when it comes to burgers but because they are one of the best value offerings you’ll find in Manchester city centre.

Two 'perfectly designed' tasting glasses are also included, along with two sets of tasting notes – making this the perfect calendar to enjoy with a partner or friend. One 24 days of Christmas calendar for the rum connoisseur – or anybody who yearns for a drop of Caribbean warmth this Christmas with an unconventional twist. Whether you're a rum connoisseur, know someone who is, or are just keen to try something different – a rum advent calendar is a great way to get into the festive spirit (literally) while sampling some liquors from established and new producers from around the world.The flavours are incredible too, with everything from coffee-flavoured rum to mango and ginger. Tasty! With tonnes of brilliant burger spots dotted all over Manchester city centre and the surrounding region, whether if you’re into the high-end offerings at Hawksmoor or the outrageous towers at Almost Famous and Yard and Coop, 0161 has you covered.

You can't beat a luxury department store like Harvey Nichols for your festive shopping – especially with rum advent calendars this good. Those familiar with Saffron cake will certainly find a hint of that alongside notes of Pedro Ximénez Ice cream. Next comes a whisper of creamy caramel followed by vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and of course, those subtly sweet undertones of orange.
