The Black Lion

The Black Lion, located on Chapel Street in Manchester, is a charming old hotel that blends character with modern comfort. Housed within a beautifully restored Victorian building, it boasts striking architectural details that capture the essence of Manchester’s rich industrial heritage.

The Black Lion serves indulgent comfort food with a modern twist, perfect for sharing or enjoying solo. Small plates such as maple and bourbon chicken goujons, secret-recipe cauliflower wings with chipotle mayo, and loaded mac ’n’ cheese bring bold flavours to the table. Burgers are fully customisable, with choices ranging from beef and buttermilk chicken to vegan chick’n, layered with cheeses, sauces, and toppings.

For a real feast, the Black Lion Buckets deliver generous helpings – from salt and pepper chicken or crispy battered fish to pulled pork, halloumi, or sirloin steak, all piled high on fries. Large plates like pulled pork fries and steak frites double down on hearty dining, while wraps and sandwiches keep things casual, with favourites including the fish finger butty, maple and bourbon chicken ciabatta, BLT, and classic club sandwich.

The Black Lion is all about big flavours, generous portions, and a lively Manchester dining experience.
