Cult sandwich makers Bada Bing are looking for new premises, after their stint at the Ancoats General Store came to an end. More than 16,000 followers on Instagram have been bereft at the prospect of no more giant subs, but its founders have said that the eatery ‘will be back’.

Started in lockdown, it majored on huge, Italian deli style sandwiches using their own baked bread and lesser-used ingredients like gabagool - similar to prosciutto ham - and provolone cheese.

The fillings were more often seen in the US and inspired, in part, by hit mob show The Sopranos.
