With post-festive belt-tightening and leftover fatigue seeping into the new year, comfort food and great value can go a long way this month – and Great Northern’s food and drink tenants are offering plenty of reasons to brave the cold and try a range of irresistible dishes for a reasonable price.

New to Deansgate, Doux Chaton brings Viet-French baking and Northern Vietnamese comfort food to Great Northern. Run by sibling duo Jimmy and Jen, the menu blends heritage recipes with a French patisserie twist, from fragrant bowls of phở and bánh mì to indulgent pastries, Vietnamese coffee and boba tea.

For quick lunches without compromise, Suki Suki is serving a £10 Express Lunch throughout January. Diners can choose between a hearty ramen or rice bowl, packed with bold flavours inspired by East Asian street markets. It’s ideal for busy days in the city, offering comfort and value in equal measure.

Impossible Bar is easing the post-Christmas comedown with 50% off its entire a la carte food menu throughout the month. Expect elevated bar plates, from truffle and parmesan fries to Korean fried chicken bao buns, alongside finely crafted cocktails. The venue is also running a private hospitality offer, including free room hire and double your bar tab.

Tucked down its namesake hidden gem street along the side of Great Northern Warehouse, The Mews is also offering 50% off food across January and February, with small plates, charcuterie and deli-style grazing paired with a well-curated wine list to guarantee the perfect long lunch or laid-back evening.

Rounding off the month with a touch of Tuscan indulgence, Italiana Fifty Five is inviting diners to kick-start 2026 in style with 30% off food when dining in until 31st January. Available Sunday to Friday via online bookings, guests can escape to the sun-dappled climes of Italy with an array of comforting classics, crowd-pleasing pasta dishes and authentic flavours at great value. As an extra sweetener, guests who tag @italianamcr in their social posts can enjoy a free tiramisu on the house; simply show your post to the team on the evening.
