Manchester Airport Terminal 1 Arrivals - anywhere to buy food?

Haven’t been able to find this information, hope someone can help.

Flying into Manchester T1 tomorrow, and will walk via the travelators to the railway station. Wondering whether there’s anywhere we can get a sandwich or similar before catching our train to Piccadilly, as we only have 12 minutes connection time at Picc before our next train so not long enough to buy anything there.

Grateful for any info.
:D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    Think there is a newsagent shop just as you enter the arrival hall on your left, not sure if they have sandwiches? Could you not buy something before your flight?

    We’re taking a sandwich for the flight (easyJet), but we’re carry-on luggage only and won’t get home until 5:00pm.

    Might try to squeeze in a pack of savoury biscuits or something.

    Thanks for the reply, I will have a look for the newsagents so I will know for next time!

    Been a while since I flew from T1 but isn't there a 24 hour Spar mini-mart just inside the main entrance?

    Yes. Also think there is a Greggs down to the right (if heading from baggage reclaim).

    Awful arrivals area. Sooner T1 gets knocked down the better, not long now.

    We always use 'meet and greet' car parking at T1 and from our last visit ....


    <<On your return, please go to the new Meet & Greet collection point which is located in Terminal 1 arrivals hall, opposite Greggs>>

    There is a Greggs, Pret and a restaurant called Joe's which is average.

    Sorry, should have come back. Yes there is a Spar, so we would have been able to buy something. As it happened we had a good breakfast before leaving our hotel and didn't eat our pre-bought sandwiches until after we had landed, so didn't need to refuel after all.

    Thanks for all the information, will be useful for next time.
