Boddies Dinner at The Black Friar

If you love the ‘Cream of Manchester’, then you’ll love this. With Boddington’s back on cask at the oldest remaining Boddington’s pub, The Black Friar is marking it with a one-night-only Boddies Dinner built around proper food, beer history and a few pints for good measure. Chef Ben Chaplin’s four-course menu will feature dishes like Boddington’s glazed short rib with pickled mooli and chilli salad, a Northumberland cheese toastie with Boddington’s pickle, and an aged British beef burger topped with Boddington’s rarebit, alongside paired wines, a welcome drink, a pint of Boddies and a cocktail to finish. There’ll also be talks exploring the beer’s Salford roots and its place in Manchester drinking culture.
