‘Cocktails and carbs’ on way to city centre

ONE of South Manchester’s favourite food and drink haunts, The Laundrette, looks set to open a new city centre outlet from September.

Owners of the Chorlton hangout have submitted plans to open The Laundrette in a rtail unit adjacent to the Vita Student building at First Street.

The Laundrette has applied for a 10am to 12am licence, offering customers a quirky selection of home cooked food and an extensive cocktail menu, including Squeaky Clean, Raspberri Flossi and Marshmallow Colada among others.

The site will incorporate an outside seating area with heaters and blankets to keep guests warm under the Manchester skies.

In addition to the restaurant, the Laundrette team is installing an express ‘station’ within the Vita Student building, providing complimentary breakfasts to students from 7am Monday to Friday.

Branded the Laundrette Coffee Co, they plan to offer a range of freshly prepared produce, including: freshly ground coffee, juices, fresh fruit, yoghurts and a range of delicious pastries which will be baked daily on-site at the restaurant.

The Laundrette is planning to introduce its Laundrette Coffee Co brand into another nine residences, covering Liverpool, Southampton, Exeter, Bristol, Sheffield, Newcastle and Glasgow.

The Laundrette’s Patrick Hall said: “We are really excited to move the Laundrette into Manchester centre.

“First Street is a brilliant addition to Manchester’s food and drink scene and we’re delighted to have a south facing corner location perfect for enjoying our cocktails and carbs in a beautiful restaurant space or on our all-year terrace.” 

Vita Student managing director Lee McLean, said: “Vita Student is all about the experience we offer to our customers and the opening of The Laundrette is sure to enhance this. 

“Not only will it provide students with a cool new hangout, but they’ll also benefit from a complimentary breakfast to fuel their studies.”
 
Subject to planning permision, the Laundrette will spin into action in time for an autumn launch.
