Situated on Deansgate, this stylish eatery offers a mouth-watering choice of slow roast rump or succulent prime rib, accompanied by all the trimmings and an impressive wine list.
THE GAME CHANGER

With a bun base, two beef patties, roast beef slices, cabbage and lashings of gravy, served over the burger, in a side pot and filling the Yorkshire pudding crown.
