In a world of fast food that can pile on the hidden, unhealthy extras it is refreshing to tap into an international chain whose motto is ‘Fresh Thinking and Healthy Eating'.Welcome to Pita Pit in Manchester’s Piccadilly Place (and in spring 2015 Deansgate), which serves grilled-to-order pita wraps that are low in salt, carbohydrates and calories.The fact that all orders come in a sustainable catering package complete with napkins, plates and utensils that are all fully compostable, again demonstrates the company’s ethical concerns.All this would count for little if Pita Pit’s products weren’t so damned tasty with a refreshing range of meat-free (and in some cases dairy-free) options, making in the perfect all-day pit-stop for vegetarians and vegans. Shortlisted for Best Cheap Eats of the Year in the Manchester Food and Drink Festival 2014.
