This Manchester venue has just been named the Best Vegetarian Restaurant in the north at a national awards ceremony - fresh from a move to a stunning new home in the city centre.

But bosses last month made the move to a new site - in a historic location. They are now to be found next to the Mitre Hotel in an idyllic side street of Manchester with incredible views looking directly out to Manchester Cathedral.
