Best Lunch Restaurants in Heaton

"Proudly championing Antipodean coffee culture with a Northern accent, Pot Kettle Black is serving up some of the finest freshly-brewed cups of caffeine from its Barton Arcade takeout hatch in the heart of the city centre, so it couldn’t be easier to grab as you go. Barton Arcade, Deansgate, Manchester, M3 2BW. You can find more information via the PKB website here."

"Pot Kettle Black has created a special menu especially for Pancake Day. Simply pop by their hatch on Tuesday to grab breakfast, brunch or lunch pancakes from 10am to 3pm. There’ll be pancakes topped with streaky bacon, fried egg and maple syrup; raspberry coulis and white chocolate mascarpone; and honeycomb, milk chocolate and butterscotch sauce."

"Located in the beautiful Barton Arcade, you can find one of my all-time favourite coffee spots: Pot Kettle Black. They have another shop in Spinningfield, but this one is my favourite. Probably because of the beautiful interior of both the cafe and the stylish Barton Arcade."

"Situated on Oldham Street in the heart of the Northern Quarter, Fig + Sparrow’s café has proven so popular that their dining space has recently expanded, taking over the area that used to be populated with gifts. There are still a few small gift ideas and a selection of stylish cards and gift wrap to peruse as you indulge in a delicious cup of coffee out of one of their instantly recognisable red and yellow cups. To secure the perfect photo, take the window seat to shoot your steaming brew against the fogged up glass."

"Just a block down the street from the mighty North Tea Power, and a few steps along Oldham Street from its junction with Church Street, is relative newcomer to Manchester’s coffee scene, Fig + Sparrow. Established in 2013, it’s half life-style shop, half café, but 100% excellent. Serving an espresso-based menu using beans from London’s Climpson and Sons, with guest filters on Aeropress and Chemex, plus loose-leaf tea from Newcastle’s Ringtons, Fig + Sparrow also does food."

"Located at the back of a fabulous gift shop, Fig and Sparrow is one of the newest additions to the Northern Quarter, and rapidly becoming a favourite. Do a little bit of shopping in the boutique, and relax with a cup of something warm in the coffee shop. There is a great selection of healthy snacks on offer here, as well as some old fashioned cold drinks, and homemade cakes; all served up by someone pretty wearing a vintage apron."

"The building Clockworks is in has stood for over 200 years and it was fundamental to them to create an interior that reflected that history. With the combination of exposed red brick, steel and iron they have managed to create a comfortable and unique look back into a twisted industrial era. It’s no secret they do one of the best breakfasts in town – the sausages are from a quality local butchers and they’re the star of the show."

"One of Liverpool’s best loved restaurants, Clockworks is a hidden gem on Wolstenholme Square that specialises in hearty food, ales and signature cocktails. Housed in an historic building, the interior stays true to its past. With the combination of exposed red brick, steel and iron they have managed to create a comfortable and unique look back into a twisted industrial era."

"Clockworks “offer breakfast, lunch and dinner, specialising in twisted British classics. We stick to what we do well – classic food and cocktails. Our food is often a little indulgent, but always comforting, tasty and entirely traceable."

"A fantastic cafe with a couple of locations in the city, Federal was founded by an English and Portuguese couple that have created an Australian-Esque brunch experience. The sexy vibes and laid back culture make federal a perfect way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy Manchester weekend. They have an extensive breakfast and brunch menu which includes a wonderful mix of great homemade food and coffee from Ozone coffee roasters in London."

"One of the Northern Quarters coolest brunch spots, Federal Cafe & Bar is bringing a little Australian attitude to your feasting. Proving they know a thing or two about early mornings, this place will keep you coming back for banana bread, omelettes, Turkish eggs and bagels."

"Federal Cafe is best known for their weekend brunches when customers cram in and queues are often out the door. Their coffee though stands on its own as one of the best cups in the city. Throw in great cocktails and there really is something for everybody here."

"I swear that the good people of Manchester were waiting for me to leave… I’d been visiting for the inaugural Cup North back in 2014 and no sooner had I left, than it seemed a slew of new coffee shops opened, led by Federal Café & Bar, which, by the way, does what it says on the tin. By day, it’s a café, while by night, it morphs into a bar, although, as I discovered, the staff will happily serve you coffee long into the night (and, I suspect, alcohol during the day). The coffee side of the equation is handled by Kiwi transplants, Ozone, supplying the Hodson blend and decaf on espresso, with a couple of single-origins on pour-over, impressive when you consider the (lack of) available space."

"Having conquered Northern Quarter with their Aussie-style brunch bowls, Federal has opened another charming spot in Deansgate. Expect the same easy breezy vibes, alongside healthy plates that include a winning banana bread."

"City-centre favourite Federal offers an all-day brunch until 6pm, as well as a range of sandwiches, bagels and amazing coffee. We recommend The Turkish Eggs. View this post on Instagram"

"The first Instagrammable place that we visited in Manchester was a trendy coffee and breakfast spot called Hampton and Vouis, which reminded me of a show home in a luxury property development. I really liked the pink colours and beautiful designs and if you’re looking for a perfect photo spot in Manchester that is not so busy in the morning, head there!. If you need to store your luggage in a safe place, while you’re exploring the city, I recommend using LuggageHero – they have a lot of storage locations and amazing rates."

"Taking great pride its award-winning speciality coffee, Hampton & Vouis is still open this weekend in the heart of the city centre to grab yourself a freshly-brewed cup to go. 31 Princess Street, Manchester, M2 4EW. You can find more information via the Hampton & Vouis website here."

"Based in the Northern Quarter, this café serves breakfast and lunch dishes including a large range of hot dishes. One TripAdvisor traveller said: “I usually venture in here for the Full English (and then I'm so stuffed I never need to eat again all day!) or the Indian Panini but I tried one of the specials today and was not left disappointed."

"Another Nepalese restaurant with hundreds of ‘excellent’ reviews on TripAdvisor, Saffron Waterloo boasts a 4.5 rating. One reviewer wrote: “We have been coming to the saffron for a few years now and it never disappoints, service always outstanding whether you sit in or take away staff are fantastic and every meal is so fresh and cooked to perfection. Plenty of chef specials which are all fantastic."

"You know what they say, when in Rome… You can also visit the beautiful Tatton Park with its magnificent mansion. A stroll through this place will surely build up an appetite."

"A short stroll from Preston city centre, St Walburge's Church is a must visit for fans of history, heritage, and architecture. The church opened in 1854 and boasts the tallest spire of any parish church in England. The Roman Catholic Church is a sight to behold from both the outside and the inside."

"Perhaps St John (The Minster), Preston is your favoured parish church or if you have another connection with it as recognised by the church, we'd love to discuss your wedding day plans. To find out more about associations that enable you to marry in a particular church, see the Church of England's weddings web site for more details. people choose a church wedding for plenty of different reasons, and we'd like to hear yours."

"The May Blitz of 1941 saw St Luke’s church forever changed when a bomb landed right on top of it’s roof. Over time, the city has lovingly restored it back to life and it now plays host to everything from weddings, to gigs, to farmers markets and cinema screenings. The church itself and the gardens around it are a total treat for the eye."

"More commonly known as 'the bombed out church' St Luke’s was destroyed during the Blitz of World War II. With no ceiling, and plants now growing inside, it is a real place of tranquility in the centre of the city and serves as a memorial to those who lost their lives during the war."

"Also known as St. Luke’s Church, the Bombed-Out Church lost its roof during the World War II blitz and has now been transformed into a wedding venue, café and a great spot for pictures. The church is incredible to look around and is also filled with so much history."
