Highland park market sausage price4/1/2023 ![]() ![]() The scent of sizzling onions and chargrilled sausage hangs heavy in the Manchester air right now and inflitrates your nostrils. Sausage munchers were everywhere on my Sunday visit. If you're wondering if the price hikes have put everyone off their sausages for the 2022 return, then that's a big fat no - just look at the crowds. I headed down to the Manchester Christmas Markets on Sunday to see what the sausage and beer is like for my money and whether it's worth the extra pennies we're having to invest on a festive treat at the event this year. The squishy bread bun and tasty sausage were winners in the taste test, whilst the stein of beer went down nicely too (Image: MEN) ![]() And don't forget you'll need to factor in a £2 deposit for a pint pot or £3 for a Christmas mug, which you'll get back if you return the receptacle afterwards.

Meanwhile currywurst now comes in at £7 and you're looking at 50p extra if you want onions.

And there's been a steep increase compared to previous years - here's her breakdown of how much some of the most popular foods cost. Manchester Evening News writer Dianne Bourne visited the city's popular markets to see how much the food cost. Inflation, which hit a 41-year high last month, means rising costs across the board - however, is it ever OK to charge £7 for a hotdog?
