Manchester Airport's latest street food dining experience officially opens

Great Northern Market in the airport’s new, £1.3bn Terminal 2 features six street food style kitchens alongside cookies and donuts from Gooey. The kitchens are all set around a central dining area, meaning groups of people can order from different places and still eat together.

Initial options include;

• Nashville Hot House, serving buttermilk chicken and other Southern favourites
• Black Iron Grill, serving smash burgers and loaded fries
• Kouzina, with Greek and Mediterranean inspired street eats
• La Casita, offering a variety of Mexican dishes
• Palms Café, serving pan-Asian dishes
• Napoli Street Pizza.
• Gooey, a Manchester favourite serving coffees, cookies and donuts.

Richard Jackson, Retail Director at Manchester Airport, said: “We’re so excited to be launching Great Northern Market and can’t wait to share it with our passengers. A lot of work has gone into this idea and we’re delighted with the final product – there's something on offer to suit all tastes.

“This is the first unit of its kind in a UK airport, but we know market halls are really popular and we want to ensure the offerings in our brand-new Terminal 2 keep up with modern tastes, providing a range of dining experiences from more casual eateries like this one, through to high end a la carte options.”

Great Northern Market will be operated by Airport Retail Enterprises UK (ARE), a specialist airport food & beverage operator with experience of running eateries in Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and Edinburgh airports.

John and Hayley Butts, Directors at Airport Retail Enterprises, added: "We are thrilled to be finally opening our doors and bringing this exciting new street food style concept to Manchester Airport. Great Northern Market will provide all the benefits of a market hall environment - variety, quality, value and a lively, social atmosphere - on a scale not previously seen in UK airports."
