That Ziki at Kargo MKT

Two brothers, Jack and Luke, quit their 9-5 and bought their famous Thatziki blue food truck and started slinging gyros in a dimly lit car park in Worsley. Fast forward to today and they are now joining Kargo MKT! Making almost everything from scratch including their secret marinade, fresh tzatziki and sauces prepared daily. No frozen meat or additives just a bit of graft and big flavours. Thatziki get their produce straight from Greece including their pitta breads and feta to make their offer a real taste of the Greek islands.

Vnam at Kargo MKT

Vnam was the very first restaurant to bring authentic Vietnamese food to Manchester back in 2010. Inspired by his heritage, owner Jason uses family recipes which have been passed down through generations to create traditional dishes bursting with fresh flavours. Their speciality is the Pho, (pronounced ‘fuh’), which is basically flat rice noodles served in their famous hearty broth, simmered for 12-18 hours to ensure depth of flavour.

What's Your Beef at Kargo MKT

Manchester burger lads Eddie and Neil put their heart and soul into crafting the perfect burger mix, and after eight months of experimentation, they found a recipe that made their taste buds dance, and they knew it was “the one”. Quality has always been their top priority and they don’t spare any expense when it comes to sourcing the finest ingredients, with their utmost priority being the beef itself – sourced from a local butcher.
