Sacha Lord announces ‘free drinks and food’ on him at Thirsty Korean
The move is a bid to help support our local businesses as Mancunians are told: ‘just walk in’ and ‘eat and drink as much as you like’
Sacha Lord has made a public announcement for people to enjoy ‘free drinks and food’ on him at the Thirsty Korean for one day this weekend.
The Warehouse Project and Parklife boss has announced on his social media pages this morning that he will take care of the bill while customers enjoy food and drinks at the Thirsty Korean on Manchester Road in Chorlton this Sunday, (August 20th).
The restaurant specialises in Korean dishes including jeon pancakes, kimchi rice and, of course, fried chicken served up with Korean beer.
The restaurant, owned by Eunji Noh, has featured on the likes of Manchester’s Finest in its Suggested By You series, after readers lauded the place with praise.
He encouraged Mancunians to come along to the South Manchester location to try and ‘rinse him’, and anyone going into the restaurant on Sunday will have their bill paid, as much as they want to eat and drink, no questions asked.
In a video posted to Twitter, the Night Time Economy Advisor for Greater Manchester, said: “You might remember that last summer I decided to do a tour of Greater Manchester for all 10 boroughs and it was announced in advance I’d turn up on a Sunday, choose one bar and for one hour I bought everybody free drinks and I had the time of my life and met so many amazing people.
“And because of that I’ve decided to do something very similar again. I’ve met with the owner and she’s amazing, she’s lovely, She’s got great pride in what she does.
“Doors will open at four o’clock and close at ten fifteen, and between four and ten fifteen go in there, eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want because I’m footing the bill. It is that simple, there is no catch.
“Just walk in, she’s not taking bookings that day, just walk-ins, but eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want and yeah try and rinse me.
“We need to support these independents, as you know. This place came on my radar actually in November when somebody sent me an article.
“The article was an interview with the owner and she had been bullied coming out of Covid into trying to take out some advertising and she was left there in tears.
“I’m doing this to help hospitality, to help independents, but actually let’s do what we do best in Manchester and let’s stand up to those bullies. I’m going to be there enjoying the food, enjoying the drinks, we’re going to have a great day.”
