Peri peri chicken on granary with cheese from the carvery.
Sadly the peri peri chicken wasn’t up to much at the usually very agreeable Katsouris. The lacklustre serving spread too thinly over a granary barm became dry very quickly, so, drinkless and disappointed I battled through to the waterless end with a solitary tear of mild disappointment attempting but failing to form in my eye (due to my being parched – did I mention it was dry?). Garlic chicken sizzler this was not. Still more satisfying than the standard city centre fare though. Luckily my eating buddy ordered something too awkward to understand (no butter on bread or something stupid) so the friendly staff also bent over backwards to ensure that we were compensated with some free cakes too! A vanilla and a brownie: both pretty much did what you’d expect, no miracles but satisfaction was par for the course. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, but you might get a free pudding if you’re a difficult git.

Meal: SPAR Meal Deal – Chicken Tikka Wrap, Mini Cheddars and Bottle of Vimto
Im actually very impressed with the SPAR meal deal, Any sandwich,wrap or pasta salad + any drink + any snack, all for a very reasonable price.
Its in direct competition with the Boots meal deal in terms of quantity and price, but far surpasses it in terms of quality.
I have marked it down on ambiance as after all its a SPAR not the Savoy and the checkout staff weren’t very helpful or friendly (I had to ask for a carrier bag)
Overall not too shabby and I really enjoyed my tikka wrap.

Meal: American BBQ Chicken (minus mushrooms)
The chicken is combined with peppers, noodles and baby sweetcorn mixed with a nicely cooked egg-fried rice covered in a tangy-sweet bbq sauce.
I’ve had this meal a few times now and it has to be my favourite meal from Rice. I order the meal without mushrooms as Im not a fan of the fungi.
This meal is a perfect stomach filler and wont leave you wanting more, the price is a little high for a mid-week lunch, £5.99 but as I said it does fill you up and tastes amazing so is worth it as a one off every now and again.

If you’re feeling exotic, adventurous, pretentious, or your just plain from Didsbury, Katsouris is a delightful deli of the Greek style. The good Greek style.

Hopefully the last time I will ever eat from Greggs in my life – unless they keep emailing me vouchers
