Lunch & All-Day Dining in Manchester
Step into a world where elevated dining meets exquisite style. Nestled within the historic grandeur of the Grade II* listed former Manchester & Salford Bank, The Cut & Craft Manchester redefines the art of premium lunching—where indulgence, ambience, and sophistication unite.
In the heart of the city, The Cut & Craft combines industrial grandeur with contemporary elegance. Plush banquettes, glittering chandeliers, and soaring architecture set the stage for a lunch experience that feels anything but ordinary.
Open for lunch Monday to Friday, from 11 am to 4 pm, guests are invited to enjoy a refined menu featuring in-house butchered steaks, seasonal British Coast seafood, and vibrant, locally sourced produce. Each dish is perfectly complemented by a curated list of fine wines, signature cocktails and craft beers.
Manchester Business Lunches, Crafted to Impress
The Cut & Craft is the ideal setting for productive midday meetings. The weekday set lunch—£19 for one course, £24 for two courses or £28 for three—delivers both quality and efficiency. Guests can opt for private or semi-private spaces, including the atmospheric Edward Walters Suite, a former bank vault transformed into an elegant dining room, perfect for meaningful conversations in discreet surroundings.
Ladies’ Lunch — Chic, Social, Sophisticated
Designed for convivial gatherings, the lunch menu blends signature favourites—such as the flat iron steak—with seasonal seafood and fresh salads. Served alongside artisanal cocktails or carefully selected wines, it’s a social occasion framed by the restaurant’s dramatic former banking hall setting, where sweeping arches and warm ambient lighting create a truly memorable backdrop.
For even more choice, our À La Carte menu is available all day, offering a wider selection of premium dishes, perfect for guests who wish to linger, graze, or indulge beyond the lunchtime classics.
