Chapter House dining room at dusk, low lamp light, wooden tables, open kitchen in the background
Ancoats, Manchester

One short menu, printed this morning.

Dinner Tuesday to Saturday, lunch on Saturdays. Twenty-eight seats, six of them held back for walk-ins every night.

A neighbourhood bistro. Seasonal British, quietly confident, changing with the week.

II.

Two dishes we are proud of this week.

The board rotates, the signatures do not. Cooked on the grill or in the wood oven, plated the same way every service.

Roasted carrots with pearl barley and whipped ewe's curd on a ceramic plate

Roast carrots, pearl barley, whipped ewe's curd

£14

Swaledale carrots, slow-roasted until sweet, with pearl barley cooked in a brown butter stock and a spoon of Butler's ewe's curd whipped with lemon.

Day-boat hake with brown shrimp butter and sea herbs on a dark plate

Day-boat hake, brown shrimp butter, sea herbs

£26

Fin & Flounder hake, line-caught off the Kent coast, served over sea herbs with Morecambe Bay brown shrimp in a lemon and parsley butter.

III.

A note from the kitchen.

We buy what looks good on Monday, not what looks good in a brochure. If the mackerel is better than the bream this week, we serve the mackerel. If the broad beans came in small, we will tell you, and shell them anyway.

IV.

Dinner from six. Save yourself a seat.

Bookings open three months in advance. We hold six bar seats back for walk-ins every night, first come, first seated. Call the house line if you need anything unusual.
