Mr Thomas's Chop House, Manchester

A place to seek out in Manchester. All original Victorian features are in place. TT Landlord and Black Sheep were on - which makes this a holy grail type pub for me. I would settle on either. Good food and service in the restaurant. Famous for their corned beef hash.

Called in after going to sams just like there very busy had to wait prats paying on cards cash machines every hundred yards why dont they just draw a few bob out but its always worth a visit

When in Manchester it’s definitely worth a visit to the Chop House for the architecture alone. However the overall feeling I got was that this place is not really a pub, more a restaurant serving real ale. But I would concur with the comments already made that it will probably be one of the most expensive ales you buy whilst in Manchester , so best visited for a quick half on a quiet Sunday afternoon (like I did) and move on after having a good look at the inside. The impressive Victorian Gothic brick and Terracotta coloured exterior seems out of place bolted onto the corner of a non descript office block, and the pub itself is an interesting design of interconnecting rooms. The interior consists of four spaces, one behind the other, the middle two being defined by a wide, green-tiled arch. As previously mentioned these two areas are characterised by an impressive display of tile work, with a green dado running round the walls and cream tiling above extending to ceiling. Period lamps then add further to the character of the place. The smallish front room is set up for drinking but then the rest of the space seemed to be reserved for the Chop House restaurant as far as I could see. Glad I visited though, but after a small Black sheep I was off to find a more welcoming pub set up, with a better beer choice
