Our researcher network just finished verifying five fresh listings spanning Manchester, Salford Quays and Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle, so we stitched them into a single transit-friendly grocery trail.
Neighbourhood highlights
Stops to plot
- Woo Sang Supermarket, Manchester – extended hours plus a ready-to-eat counter serving Cantonese roast meats.
- Ducie Street Pantry, Ancoats – speciality freezer stocked with handmade dim sum from local producers.
- Lipa Oriental, Liverpool Baltic Triangle – Filipino dry goods and a pickup shelf for online orders.
- Wirral Spice Mart, Birkenhead – car-friendly warehouse with pallets of rice, noodles and catering-size sauces.
Trams, Merseyrail and Stagecoach buses connect these boroughs in under 90 minutes, which means you can load up on fresh veg in Manchester before hopping west for pantry staples.
Planning tips
Route planning essentials
- Start in Manchester before noon to catch morning fishmongers and avoid Oxford Road parking restrictions.
- Bring a cool bag for frozen baos and pandan desserts picked up in Liverpool.
- Call ahead if you need bulk rice or catering packs—several stores will hold orders for 24 hours.
