Great meat selections and burgers! Go there on Sundays so that they have a charcoal grill outside to prepare your food! Highly recommend this place for beef lovers! read more

YES! This is what Manchester has been waiting for! A proper butchers shop within the city centre selling high quality cuts of meat and other premium produce all sourced locally. I love The Butchers Quarter - every time I come here I'm greeted with so much enthusiasm and joy it's just so refreshing! The guys who work here are clearly passionate about meat and they can answer pretty much any question that you have. They offer advice on how best to cook the meats that you're buying, how to prepare them and how to get the most for your money. They'll let you know where the meats have been sourced - all from local farms - and give you anything else you want to know. The gym pack is £35 which is what I buy on a weekly, sometimes every two weeks, basis. It consists of 10 chicken breasts, 2 pork chops, 2 rump steaks, beef steak mince and beef stir fry. I always but sausages from here too! You can also get wines, cheeses and cold cuts from here - so you can tick off half your shopping list before you leave. The meat is premium quality and I know this because it doesn't shrink when you cook it. It's excellent. It's a must go for your meat! read more

What a fantastic addition to the NQ this is! Although I'm a fan of so much choice in all the new bars opening, it's great to see something different popping up and a butchers really hits the spot. I popped in on Thursday to have a look around and as well as a great selection of meats and all the usual butchers items, there's a great selection of charcuterie, wines and treats to take away. On this occasion I bought my wife and myself a lovely T-bone steak that was delicious - perfectly cooked with homemade chips it was one of last week's best decisions (it was a slow week ;-) ) Chatting to the lovely owner Michelle, it sounds like they have some great plans for the future and I'd recommend checking them out. read more

Looking to try something a little bit different for our Easter weekend meal, I sent the other half to The Butcher's Quarter to see what we could try out. Heading home with ribs and chicken skewers, he was practically bubbling with excitement at his experience! Service was super friendly and great for advice - everything was provided in trays so we can simply put them in the oven with minimal preparation time, the ribs coming with a rub so they're even easier. They have a huge array of items that we're looking forward to returning for; basically all the meats, cured meat, cheese, and pre-packed goods such as pies. Hopefully the rise of the independent butcher as it's much better for price, taste and quality! read more

The Butcher's Quarter - chicken & ribs (2015) - Butcher Near Me - Manchester, XGM

I discovered this Butcher located in the NQ few meters away from Evuna thanks to a Yelp Elite event! that was such a success that I decided to try this place again... At first I wanted to get duck breast but they didnt have any so went for the Beef Rib Steak after to have seen some appetizing pictures on Yelp! and I wasnt disapointed! the meat tasted so nice and melted in the mouth! I've been looking for a decent butcher since I moved in Manchester and this one could be perfect if it was closer to where I live (not to have it on my doorstep will probably prevent me from spending a fortune)! staff are very nice and know their stuff! I will definitely go back! read more

What a gem this place is, just an all round fantastic business! Ever since the Yelp event where I've been intending on coming in for some steaks as the options they have are great! Prices on the meat can seem a little higher but you are in Manchester and boy do you get good quality - definitely worth paying a little extra for quality as it's still much much less than restaurant prices! I popped in the other day to grab some rib eye steaks for the weekend and ended up staying for a good 10 minutes chatting to the butcher on that day about the variations of steak, how each should be cooked and some little tips on marinating (keep it minimal). Brilliant family run butchers shop offering high level products! They also sell wine! Winner. read more

When you find a good butcher you know your life is changing to the better, it might be a little selfish but it is also nice that there are new business that are not just bars opening in the Northern Quarter, it is a healthy thing to have a balance of things opening. The butcher's quarter staff are great and very knowledgeable about where their meat comes from which is valuable in these days of supermarkets buying cheap and disappointing people who should know better. You might find that their meat is a little more expensive but you will also find that it is not full of preservatives and water. They will tell you if they feel something has not been hung long enough (I am a fan of skirt stake, a cheaper alternative for people like stake), and will either suggest a good alternative or give you advice on cooking methods of the other alternatives in store. With the added bonus of you also being able to pick up a very descent bottle of Prosecco, this place is highly recommended by everyone who goes here, and now me too :) read more

A friend of mine shared the page for this place on Facebook when it first opened and I have been intending to go ever since. Being in the habit of going to a combo of Booths/M&S/Aldi every Saturday morning, it has taken me a time to actually put words in to action, but I have done it. For my meat, I usually either get the pre-packed stuff at M&S or the meat counter at the Media City Booths. But what I have missed since moving away from the Peak District, is a proper butcher's shop. The kind that not only sells good meat but has other accompaniments for the meal you will cook with your meat. So last Saturday, I decided to break my habit and I am really glad I did. I got some chicken drumsticks, braising steak, tomato and herb rub and a Fitzgeralds mocktail and it all came to around £7 ish which is really good value. If you've never had a Fitzgerald's mocktail, you should as they are really good. I first tried them when I won a "For The Love Of Food" box (thanks Yelp!) but haven't been able to find them since. Until the BQ that is. The meat itself (which I guess is the most important aspect of a butchers) was brilliant. The chicken was really tasty and for the first time in ages, I ate chicken that didn't give me heartburn. I used the braising steak to cook down slowly in a tomato-y sauce, having previously rubbed and marinated the meat with the rub, and it was really good and not chewy. I will definitely be back and next time I will purchase the wine as they looked to have a really good selection. Some people reading this who know me may be surprised that I didn't buy some this time, but I had a friend staying over and she doesn't drink red. The service was friendly and after only a few minutes was chatting away to the couple (I assume the couple who own/run it) about the weather, evil supermarkets and other chit chat. Really friendly and gave good advice. Overall, definitely think this is a must visit, particularly for NQ residents who have been needing a decent independent butchers for ages. read more

Fantastic butchers in the city centre. Also offering wines & deli items. Friendly & knowledgeable staff. Fantastic to see an independant food shop opening rather than being swallowed up/closed down by supermarkets. read more

After an amazing yelp event here I was able to confidently say I'd definitely be coming here to try out their produce!! Everything is locally sourced and the staff know their stuff when it comes to their produce, happy to offer advice on cooking times etc!! Unfortunately I don't live or work in central manchester so its not so convenient for me... but last night we cooked up one of their amazing rib of beef steaks.... 800g of bliss!!! The meat was melt in your mouth and full of flavour!! It cost £15, which I think for the quality is actually quite good value as you would pay around £7 for a 350g ribeye steak from sainsburys taste the difference range (which as you can imagine, wouldn't come close to the quality of BQ's locally sourced beef!!!) Served up at home with homemade pepper sauce and roasted baby potatoes... I felt like who needs to pay 25 quid for a meal at grill on the alley!?? I don't care about the distance, i'll certainly be making the trek here for the same again and a sample of more of their local produce!!! Top job!! read more

OMG the Butchers Quarter is my new favourite place , I could spend all day there. Fantasic quality meat plus I love the fact that you can trace exactly where it's from rather than the pre-packed rubbish in supermarkets . Great selection of wines , deli meats and cheese , and meals already prepared which helps no end on busy nights . Cannot wait for my next visit read more

I have visited this butchers a few times, on my first visit i was ignored( but was eventually served), on the second visit i found the staff member who served me to be gruff and unhelpful. I decided to give the shop one more chance; i therefore visited for a third time...but, unfortunately,there was no improvement in the customer service....the staff member who served me was downright rude. I have no issue with the quality of the stock, nor the general appearance of the shop, but i do take exception to poor customer service. Sharpen up " Butchers Quarter" there is a lot of competition out there, and they know how to treat their customers. read more

Guy ran his hand through his hair barehanded then adjusted his pants. Left without buying anything. Generally sort of gross environment.

Fantastic concept,nice fresh inspiring produce and great suggestions for cooking,pleasant and helpful staff,especially the pretty one.This was just what the area was crying out for,an alternative to unexciting supermarket products well done read more

Dear god, the hamburgers that we purchased here on the way to a BBQ were phenomenal! I will be back as a regular customer. I'm glad that I found this place on Yelp. read more
