This pub wants to pay you £500 to taste test pigs in blankets

A Manchester pub is looking for a self-confessed Christmas dinner connoisseur and lover of the traditional trimmings to taste test their pigs in blankets this year – and they'll pay you £500 for your trouble.

Mark, development chef at The Oast House pub, posted an advert on Airtasker for the role, which reads: "We’re searching for one Mancunian resident to attend the ultimate Christmas taste-test for this year’s star of the show – pigs in blankets – and give us some honest feedback to help us perfect our Christmas nibbles menu".

As well as being a local, you'll need to be available to attend the taste testing at the pub in Spinningfields, with a friend if you want, where they'll serve you up a feast of pigs in blankets "with a twist".

"We’re interested to hear if traditional pigs in blankets suffice, or whether we can open your mind (and taste buds) to some tasty new twists on the festive classic," the advert says.

To apply, you'll need to share a hilarious Christmas story that makes them "laugh or cry the most".

But you'd better be quick, as plenty of offers have been made already...
