Mysterious signs featuring ‘celebrities’ appear across Manchester teasing ‘life-changing’ announcement

Mysterious signs have appeared across the city center announcing the arrival of a “life-changing” brunch in Manchester – reportedly supported by a group of celebrities. The signs were first spotted over the weekend when a poster on a pillar at the Manchester Christmas Market in Piccadilly Gardens on Sunday announced that a breakfast eatery was “opening soon”.

It contained a quote that purported to be from a “J Oliver.” Whether it is Jamie, Jools or someone else with similar initials remains unknown.

The quote from the aforementioned “J Oliver” is: “It will be the most sought-after breakfast in town.” High praise if it really comes from renowned chef Jamie, but not so much if it comes from downstairs Jenny Oliver (nothing no offense, Jenny).

Since then, posters with other “famous” quotes have appeared on Carpenters Lane in the Northern Quarter, including a “J Rayner”, a “C. Winkleman’ and simply ‘Nigella’. The quote from the “J. Rayner’ says: “If there’s such a thing as a life-changing brunch, this is it.” Meanwhile, an “H Styles” says: “A roast like no other.”

Another poster featured a quote from “Nigella” saying: “I’m not a fan of hype, but this is more than just breakfast.” The alleged “C Winkleman” says: “The most essential breakfast , I’ve ever seen,” while a “G Neville” says, “The most sought-after brunch spot is coming to town.”

The Manchester Evening News has reached out to a number of PR staff at some of Greater Manchester’s biggest restaurants and venues to see if they know anything about the teased breakfast. They all had no idea who was behind it – or what it was about.
