The Manchester Food Passport
Collect the foods that represent Greater Manchester
Each staple earns one stamp when tried at an approved venue. More than one approved venue may serve the same staple, but the passport item is completed only once.
Eccles cake
A bakery product with a direct Greater Manchester connection.
Bury black pudding
A regional food identity rooted in Bury.
Pie, mash and gravy
A tightly curated savoury-pie tradition.
The final passport will contain roughly 8–12 approved city staples. The remaining items will be published only after venue and evidence checks are complete.

How a passport stamp works
A passport stamp is awarded for trying an approved Manchester staple at an approved linked venue.
- The user checks in the dish, not just the restaurant.
- Trying the same staple at several venues still counts as one passport item.
- Non-staple dishes remain part of the user’s personal tried history.
- Passport status cannot be bought by a venue.
Rice and Three is shown as a passport staple; tonkotsu ramen remains discoverable without affecting passport progress.
