Chorlton Favourite, The Laundrette, Spins into First Street

Plans are in that could see ‘Cocktails and Carbs’ on the menu in Manchester city centre from as early as September as one of South Manchester’s favourite food and drink haunts, The Laundrette, spins into its new city centre address.

The owners of the popular Chorlton hangout are planning to open The Laundrette in a retail unit which is adjacent to the Vita Student building at First Street.

The Laundrette has applied for a 10am-12am license and will offer customers its quirky selection of excellent home cooked food as well as an extensive cocktail menu which is an attraction in itself; with Squeaky Clean, Raspberri Flossi and Marshmallow Colada amongst the favourites that will be on offer to customers when doors open.

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.

In addition to Vita Student’s Manchester residence, The Laundrette is planning to introduce its Laundrette Coffee Co brand into another nine residences, covering: Liverpool, Southampton, Exeter, Bristol, Sheffield, Newcastle and Glasgow.

Speaking about the venture, 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 MD, 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, the Laundrette will spin into action in time for an autumn launch.
