CHRISTMAS is coming and the temptation for your works do is to head out on the town for a typical turkey dinner with all the trimmings and more booze than you can handle. All in rammed dining spaces. It doesn’t have to be like this. Pita Pit will deliver the goods to your workplace with a host of healthy options that aren’t going to leave you the worse for wear.
The Piccadilly Place outlet was deservedly shortlisted for Best Cheap Eats of there Year in the Manchester Food and Drink Festival 2014 and it shows in the quality of what’s on offer, going way beyond their standard roster of filled pitas. It’s no surprise that this international chain’s motto is ‘Fresh Thinking and Healthy Eating'.
If you’ve got a party of more than 10 folk then contact them via email ([email protected]) or phone (0800 0086490) and arrange a package from their catering menu they’ll deliver free in Manchester city centre. You can choose from a range of ‘Pita Platters’ all priced between £4.50 to £6, and ‘Salad Platters’, which can cost as little as £1.75 for Caesar Salad.
You can even have a take on the festive staple – turkey, which is part of the Carnivore Pita Platter, along with an array of turkey, grilled chicken, ham, spicy chicken and souvlaki.
The standard turkey-filled pita comes with mixed leaf, guacamole, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, sweet cheese and light mayo.
All the grilled-to-order pita wraps are low in salt, carbohydrates and calories, while all orders come in a sustainable catering package complete with napkins, plates and utensils that are all fully compostable. ‘Fast food ‘was never like this.
It goes without saying that drinks are part of the Catering Packages. Wash down with Whole Earth Organic soft drinks at a quid. For £2.25 they offer the Berry White premium range and at £1.65 a go in the Feel Good range there’s a choice of flavours such as Orange & Mango, Apple & Blueberry, Sparkling Orange & Passion Fruit and Sparkling Cranberry & Lime.
Pita Pit even deliver to your door a roster of sweets and treats. TOM recommends the Propercorn Popcorn (£1.25). The best flavour is definitely Fiery Worcester Sauce & Sun-dried Tomato. And the Rice Cakes (£1.45), Yoghurt Coated, Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate. Who needs a slab of Christmas PUd?
Pita Pit is a rapidly expanding, healthy, quick service global restaurant franchise that was founded in Canada in 1995 with the goal of offering quality, healthy, fresh food fast in an informal atmosphere. They even provide a download on their website detailing full nutritional information on each dish.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
