Barton Arcade
Barton Arcade, Deansgate, Manchester M3 2BW
Your nearer room, in the Grade II* listed arcade off Deansgate, under the cast iron and glass.
Lunch is 15 minutes west via Princess Street. Focaccia and savoury bakes from our own bakehouse, warm bowls, and cake if the afternoon needs it. No cut off, so a late lunch is still lunch.
West along Princess Street, up Cross Street into St Ann’s Square, then through into Barton Arcade. About fifteen minutes.
The Village is an evening and night economy and a lot of it opens around midday or later. Daytime is quieter than people expect, so the walk west is usually the answer.
About 15 minutes west via Princess Street and Cross Street.
St Peter’s Square, the busiest stop on the network, is nearest.
Bloom Street car park is the closest council run option.
About 10 minutes on foot down to Canal Street.
Barton Arcade is your nearer room and it runs the same lunch menu as the other.
Angel Gardens is the alternative if your day takes you that way. Same menu, different room entirely.

Angel Gardens, 1 Rochdale Road, Manchester M4 4GE
The other room, on the edge of NOMA. Modern and light filled if you want a change from the arcade.
Baked in our own bakehouse that morning and filled to order. The reason the lunch queue exists.
Savoury bakes straight out of the Half Dozen Other ovens. Pastry is not just a breakfast thing.
A warm bowl rather than another sandwich. There is a vegan version of it too.
Basil and lemon avocado on sourdough with mixed seeds. Light without being mean.
Poached eggs, garlic whipped yoghurt and pistachio dukkah. Lunch if you want it to be.
Half Dozen Other bakes it. It would be rude not to mention it on a lunch page.
The vegan options at lunch are their own dishes rather than something with an ingredient removed. Vegan bowls, vegan bakes from Half Dozen Other, gluten free built into the menu rather than bolted on, and plant milks across the whole coffee range at no surcharge. Tell us about allergies when you order and we will talk them through properly.
Here is what is 15 minutes west via Princess Street from you at lunchtime.
West along Princess Street, up Cross Street into St Ann’s Square, then through into Barton Arcade.
Focaccia and savoury pastries out of the Half Dozen Other ovens rather than a chiller cabinet.
Barton Arcade is nearer from Gay Village. Angel Gardens runs exactly the same options.
Quick when you need it quick. Nobody is going to hold you hostage over a bill at ten to two.
Half Dozen Other bakes the focaccia and the savoury pastries. Ours, not a delivery.
If lunch happens at half three because the morning ran over, the menu has not changed.
Vegan lunch options as their own dishes, not something with an ingredient taken out.
Built into the menu rather than bolted on, and we will talk allergies through before you order.
Antipodean trained baristas and plant milks across the range at no extra charge.
Plug points, decent wifi and nobody hovering for your table.
You do not need a reservation for two. For a bigger table it helps.
A Grade II* listed Victorian arcade off Deansgate, and a modern light filled room on the edge of NOMA.
Review for Breakfast Manchester - Extremely friendly staff, very welcoming and accommodating. The chef went out of his way to explain the dishes and ensured we had all we needed. Best breakfast in a long time.
If you're Manchester it's a must visit for Breakfast Manchester. Food was lovely, just too much! And the staff were just so friendly, and I mean all of them. We will definitely be returning.
Had a vegan brunch in Manchester at Pot Kettle Black and it was super and it was super. I had scrambled tofu with lots of yummy flavours on a wonderful bread. The staff were very friendly and helpful staff.
We have been written up a fair bit. Here is where, in their words rather than ours.
Not in Gay Village itself. Our nearer room is Pot Kettle Black Barton Arcade, 15 minutes west via Princess Street. Angel Gardens is our other space and runs the same menu.
West along Princess Street, up Cross Street into St Ann’s Square, then through into Barton Arcade. About fifteen minutes. By tram: St Peter’s Square, the busiest stop on the network, is nearest.
Focaccia sandwiches and savoury pastries from our own bakehouse, warm bowls including the Chorizo, Potato and Quinoa, avocado toast and Turkish Eggs. Plus cake, because Half Dozen Other bakes it.
Yes. Tell us you are on a lunch hour and we will get you out in time. If you would rather sit and work afterwards, that is fine too.
Yes, on every menu, every day. Vegan lunch options are their own dishes, gluten free is built into the menu, and plant milks run across the coffee range at no surcharge.
Not for two. Walk in and we will find you a table. For a bigger group booking ahead saves you standing about.
We do. Half Dozen Other is our own bakehouse, so the focaccia and the savoury pastries come from our own bakers.
Lunch is 15 minutes west via Princess Street, and the bread was baked this morning. Walk in, or book for a bigger table.
