Claire Sweeney dines at Manjaro's but snubs parmo

Claire Sweeney, known for roles in Brookside and Coronation Street, dined at Manjaro's in Newcastle this week, opting for a healthier meal instead of the restaurant's signature chicken parmo.

Celebrity visit

The actress, currently starring as Miss Hannigan in the musical Annie at the Theatre Royal, visited the popular restaurant with a friend. While her companion enjoyed a large parmo, Claire chose a dish of chicken, salad, and rice, though she did sample a chip from her friend's plate after asking what the parmo was.

Manjaro's response

Manjaro's, which has welcomed celebrities before, shared a video of Claire on Facebook, writing: 'Claire Sweeney came hungry... and made a top-tier choice.' The post added: 'She went for our Creamy Caribbean Chicken... and we can't blame her. Rich, creamy and packed with flavour from the first bite to the last – it's one of those dishes that speaks for itself.'
