A new brunch menu inspired by good ol’ Northern favourites is set to land in Manchester on Saturday 21st February, bringing together familiar flavours, local produce and refined comfort food with a distinctly Northern influence. Served from 12-5pm every Saturday and Sunday, the new offering is a nod to Manchester and the wider North West, celebrating regional favourites an northern home comforts with a contemporary twist.

Rooted in honest, the menu showcases standout dishes like Manchester Toast and an iconic Spicy Bloody Mary, alongside flavour-packed plates that highlight ingredients such as Cumberland sausage, Garstang blue cheese, Eden Valley bacon, Manchester ale and the true Mancunian fave – Vimto.

The influence is unmistakably Northern – comfort food at heart, but elevated. Expect crumpets in place of bread rolls, chimichurri paired with halloumi, and peppercorn sauce polished rather than heavy. It’s brunch that feels familiar, but excitingly new.

Whilst the same menu will be available both days, expect the vibes to be switched up. Saturday has been named ‘The Saturday Social’ with an upbeat soundtrack perfect for those social gatherings and drinks with the girls. Sunday come with the tagline ‘The Sunday Toast’ where the atmosphere is a more relaxed, laid-back feel complete with Sunday papers and board-games so you can take your time and take it easy – just what Sundays were made for.

Kelly, General Manager, adds:

“This new menu celebrates hearty food that respects tradition, but isn’t afraid to evolve. We wanted to create a brunch menu that feels like a real nod to Manchester and the North – something warm, welcoming and full of flavour, but with a modern edge. It’s playful, nostalgic and truly indulgent. We can’t wait for guests to come in and try it.”

Perfect for laid-back afternoons, casual catch-ups or busy weekend plans, the new brunch menu blends Northern favourites with lighter brunch sensibilities, making it as comforting as it is exciting.

The new brunch menu launches Saturday 21st February and will be available every Saturday and Sunday from 12–5pm.

When: Launch weekend 21st February and available 12pm – 5pm, every Saturday and Sunday thereafter
Where: Marriott Victoria and Albert Manchester, Water Street, Manchester City Centre, M3 4JQ
