PUMPKINS, it’s going to be a squash! But it would be wrong to chicken out of this Friday’s Food Fright Halloween Special, Organisers B.Eat Street expect it to be so frighteningly popular they are running over into Saturday, November 1, for two days of food and drink-fuelled mayhem.
The resident vendors will all be there at the Great Northern Warehouse:
Viet Shack – Urban twist, authentic and healthy Vietnamese food from the Arndale Market.
Piggie Smalls – Trad made hot dogs
Coq O' The North – All things fowl from buttermilk fried, charcoal grilled, schnitzel, rotisserie to a good old roast. Plus Belgian style fries.

The Great Northern really is Halloween Central this Friday with All Star Lanes and Almost Famous also making ghoulishness their prime goal.
Guests turing up in appropriate gear for ‘All Star Lanes Monster Mash’ will receive a free treat courtesy of Krispy Kreme and there will be a chance to win more American candy if you manage to bowl a strike. Just take it easy on the special Halloween cocktails first! You can also expect fire eating, apple bobbing and the chance to win FREE bowling for life for the 'best costume of the night'. Free entry all night. To book bowling or dining call 0161 871 3600.
Almost Famous are charging £27.50 (can be bought from the bar) to include a three course meal, including boneyard nachos, and all kinds of fancy dress shenanigans. Quote from AF: “It will be a HOWLER. We will be dressed DEAD FAMOUS – like some totally badass cool cat that’s popped out on too much good life and had their brains beaten out of them by the paving slab that is life - that's right it's fancy dress – but do it cool – NO FUCKIN FAIRY WINGS.”
Expect killer cocktails, too. Best not take a good book and your knitting along then.
