This December, The Oast House in Manchester is offering a once in a lifetime opportunity for a self-confessed Christmas Dinner connoisseur to be (turkey) crowned ‘Official Pigs in Blankets Tester’.

With an added pay packet of £500 for your time, plus the ability to bring a friend, is this the tastiest temp job in the city?

This year, rustic retreat The Oast House (well-known for its winter TeePee), has ramped up the festive fun as it searches for an ‘Official Pigs in Blankets Tester’ – working alongside its Development Chef to ensure its Christmas nibbles are up to scratch.

Development Chef Mark York, and his team will then judge their favourite response and welcome the successful applicant to the popular Spinningfields eatery for the ultimate pigs in blankets taste-test.

Mark, Development Chef at The Oast House comments: “Pigs in blankets are the talk of the town this Christmas and are undoubtedly the trending food item of the season. That said, the pressure is on to ensure we’re serving up the best pigs in blankets and Christmas nibbles in the city.

“We’re wanting to play around with ingredients and flavours – and in order to pin down the perfect recipes, we need someone to come in and taste test to ensure our guests have the best Christmas nibbles possible! We’re looking for a local festive foodie to visit The Oast House and give the team and I some honest feedback, face-to-face.”
