Lock 84

Tucked beside the water in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, Lock 84 channels the city’s energy through a calmer, canal-side lens. Part of the Tribute Collection, it celebrates the neighbourhood’s creative spirit and the historic locks that wind through the city.

The kitchen serves small plates that change with the day, so every visit tells a slightly different story. Guests might enjoy roasted beetroot hummus with toasted focaccia and mixed seeds or a caesar salad with boiled egg, bacon crumb and anchovies.

Larger plates keep things generous, from a northern chicken burger with Vimto chilli jam to a 10oz rump steak with salt and vinegar chips and Camden stout pepper gravy. Truffle fries and panko onion rings add a touch of indulgence alongside the gentle ripple of the canal.

With a quietly urban dining room, a menu that never stands still, and a view that never gets old, Lock 84 is a place to linger, savour, and return to time and again.
