The best Manchester restaurants for hire: from the usual to the amazingly unusual!


Manchester has hundreds of restaurants for hire throughout the city and we have all the best ones listed here. If Manchester knows how to do one thing then it’s fun! Grab a cocktail and some tasty jungle grub before a round of golf at the Treetop Adventure Bar - now that’s not your everyday restaurant experience! Or samba your way on a Saturday night down to CABANA to feast on Brazilian street food before dancing the night away with a number of different spaces for private hire. The Ape & Apple not only has a cosy pub feel but also a rooftop restaurant and bar - ideal for a summer dining experience.  

Looking for something a little more refined? Maybe you’re looking to hire a restaurant for a formal dinner with clients or for something a little more elegant to celebrate a special occasion. From full restaurant hire to intimate dining experiences Alston Bar & Beef are guaranteed to wow your guests. Or if you want to feel full on glamour and elegance, check out Gusto Restaurant which is giving us all the 1920s Gatsby vibes. Hiring a restaurant in Manchester can make a perfect alternative for an intimate wedding venue for your special day. Why not take a look at all the different options at King Street Townhouse and create a magical evening you, your other half and your guests will never forget.


Why should I hire a restaurant in Manchester?

Whether it be for your 18th birthday or your company Christmas party, a restaurant in Manchester is just the ticket. Take the restaurant at Eden in the Northern Quarter. Bottomless brunches, long lazy lunches, happy hour cocktails and late night suppers make the ultimate destination for a dinner party. At Revolution Parsonage Garden there are endless hire options from the Garden Bar to private booths. It's the perfect place to snack on sharers or munch on late night pizzas before dancing the night away.
