Whether it’s a burger and a steak, Manchester has an appetite for meat and luckily for Mancs there’s a new spot in town that’s beefing things up. Joining the variety of meat-centric establishments in Manchester is new modern steakhouse and eatery, Meatworks, which has opened its first restaurant at Bruntwood SciTech and Vita Group’s Circle Square.
Serving steak house classics, bold small plates and iconic burgers, Meatworks comes from the team behind the national smash burger Boo and Midlands-based butchery Halal Editions. The steak restaurant joins an array of food and drink spots in and around Symphony Park such as Onda Pasta Bar, North Tap Room, Federal Cafe Bar, Detroit Slims and Doug’s, to name a few.

Whilst it’s all about the meat at Meatworks, the restaurant serves up proper meat from high quality suppliers of Irish, grass-fed Aberdeen Angus beef. On the menu, diners will find a mixture of traditional burger patties and smash burgers with plenty of unique flavour combinations – think smash patties with mozzarella, sun dried tomato confit, wild rocket and basil mayo or beef bacon jam, club sauce and American cheese.
You can also tuck into a range of succulent steaks at Meatworks in Manchester ranging from picanha to sirloin, ribeye to fillet. Other showstopping dishes include their Korean BBQ beef short rib, sizzling bone marrow, signature cheeseburger dumplings and slow-cooked short rib pancakes. The restaurant is also offering lunchtime value specials like a smash burger and fries for just £10.

Whilst the restaurant is alcohol-free, the menu includes an array of mocktails, such as their kiwi mojito and lychee and lemongrass mocktail, providing a unique spin on classic cocktail recipes. Plus, each table is provided with a moreish pile of crispy haystack onions with a basil mayo dip on the house as you wait on your juicy meat dish to arrive.
Mohammed Suleman from Meatworks added: “We’re thrilled to be opening Meatworks and share our passion for great food with the people of Manchester. Burgers and high quality meats are in our DNA and we’re excited to bring our expertise to Circle Square and its growing community. The destination is the perfect location for our first opening in the city. We promise to offer bold flavours and innovative dishes and can’t wait to welcome our first customers.”
Meatworks is open from Tuesday – Sunday, 12pm to 11pm, with walk-ins and bookings both welcome.
