We tend to go a bit ‘nutty’ for pop-ups and sweet things in Manchester whether it be cereal, ice cream, or wild concoctions we never could’ve imagined. Now, for one day only, the Northern Quarter will host peanut butter brand, Proper Nutty, for a unique and delicious Peanut Butty pop-up shop ahead of the pre-Freshers Week festivities.
Opening on Wednesday 4 September, the pop-up shop will give peanut butter enthusiasts the chance to explore a variety of ‘delicious and quirky creations’. The Peanut Butty shop will operate out of the Black Milk site at 88 Oldham Street, known itself for providing the people of Manchester with wacky sweet streets, so this pop-up will be right at home.
What’s more, in preparation for the big day, Proper Nutty even put out a job listing for a ‘peanutologist‘, AKA “peanut butter expert, fanatic, superfan, obsessive”… so you can bet the Peanut Butty shop will be truly ‘cracking’, giving the expertise involved.
Proper Nutty is an artisan nut butter business producing wonderfully simple, totally tasty nut butter in the heart of England. They believe in “nut butter done proper”, made from real ingredients. Some of their bestsellers include their Smunchy and Dark Roast butters, perfect for any nut butter lover, and there’s even the option to pay it forward with a food bank donation, which is always good to have.
Previous Proper Nutty pop-up ups around the country have been nothing short of, well… nuts. Gift boxes full of their varieties of different indulgent peanut butters tend to fill their stalls, but the Peanut Butty pop-up up shop in Manchester is set to be their best and nuttiest yet. Plus, if the Proper Nutty social media is anything to go by, the pop-up up is set to be an absolute treat. Expect brand new concoctions, recipes and, of course, plenty of PB&Js to go round.
There’s even a sandwich that was said to be Elvis’ favourite on the menu – peanut butter, banana and back bacon – for you to try, as well as a fried chicken burger complete with the crunchy, nutty spread.
Get down to the Peanut Butty shop in the Northern Quarter on Wednesday 4 September from 11am to 6pm to see what all the fuss is about! Plus, the first 100 customers through the door can bag themselves a free butty.
