Swerve the diet: check out these awesome January dining offers in Manchester

Beat the post-Christmas and New Year blues with this selection of January offers. They’re easy on the wallet plus there are plenty of options for anyone trying out Veganuary and Dry January.

So many deals, in fact, that you might want to put off your New Year diet plans until February.

The Refinery

This January offer sounds too good to be true. The Reef, Beef and Bubbles deal is a penny-pinching £9.95 combination of succulent steak, prawns and green leaves. Accompanied by a chilled glass of bubbles – opt for either classic fizz or a glass of alcohol-free Bees Knees prosecco – the whole meal comes in at under a saintly 500 calories too! Easy on the wallet and the waistline. If you fancy something a little naughtier, for just £19.95, sinners can push the boat out and upgrade to a serving of lobster, steak and chips with a glass of champagne.
