The best Greater Manchester restaurants on Deliveroo

It's Friday night and that means many people's thoughts will be turning towards a takeaway for tea.

It's been another rough week in a tough year for the hospitality industry with talk of more pub and restaurant closures looming in the north.

If you're lucky enough to be able to afford a little weekend indulgence, treating yourself to food you haven't had to cook can give a much-needed boost to local businesses.

We're spoilt for choice here in Greater Manchester with hundreds of brilliant restaurants to order in from.

Will Shu, CEO of Deliveroo, said: “This year has undoubtedly been one of the most challenging years the restaurant sector has ever faced.

"Yet in the face of huge uncertainty, we have been inspired by the way restaurants across the UK and Ireland have stepped up and gone the extra mile to support their local communities, while working tirelessly to keep their own businesses going.

“From providing free meals to hospital staff working on the frontline, to delivering meals to vulnerable people, and going above and beyond to protect their staff - we want to recognise and say thank you to our amazing small and independent restaurant partners.”
