Ducie Street Warehouse in Manchester

Absolutely 5 stars! I popped into the place to get some work done and grabbed a coffee. Sam made it for me and was super nice and friendly from the get go. We ended up having a good chat. I managed to power through loads of work while enjoying the vibe, and even treated myself to a sneaky glass of wine at the end. Great service, great space, and Sam really made it such a welcoming experience. Will definitely be back!

Manchester's hidden gem. Perfect place to relax, take meetings, or work remotely, especially so for commuters from Piccadilly.

Great bar very close to Picadilly Station Pet friendly as well

Great place to eat and lovely staff, Sam made our visit really special!

If I could rate the service in this restaurant a 10/10 I would. The food, drinks, and general atmosphere were fabulous. But most of all, Emelye (our server) was absolutely delightful. She was so lovely, helpful and attentive. We came on a Tuesday eve, and although quiet, it was still wonderful.

Great customer service from i think his name was sam

Sam is a great member of your team made it a brilliant time and made it more an enjoyable experience 10/10

Great atmosphere from the group. Sam made my day with his funny and witty sense of humour. Thanks for a great stay, will be back soon.

Came for a Sunday Roast was fantastic service, thanks to Sam who made the visit extra special. Would definitely come again.

Amazing Sunday roast, very generous portions and the food was delicious! A really nice and relaxed atmosphere and the service from Kevin was great!

Kevin was an amazing server! He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. His great attitude and excellent service made our dining experience even better. Highly recommend asking for Kevin if you visit!

Really tasty breakfast bap and really nice staff. A little bit disappointing when plates are taken away from the table before everyone has finished. Amazing interior though, such a quirky place.

Literally 1 person serving on a Friday night

We recently hosted an event at Ducie Street, and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic. Charlotte and Matilda were incredible in helping us organise everything—super professional, attentive, and made the whole planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day, Sam and his team provided excellent service in the restaurant—everything ran seamlessly and our guests were really well looked after. Huge thanks as well to the reception staff, who were all so helpful and welcoming throughout. Every member of the team went above and beyond, and it really made a difference. Highly recommend Ducie Street for any event!

Highly recommended this place by another local business.. first of all it’s a great place to pull out the laptop and knuckle down for some work, seating was plenty and I quickly found a nice table to do just that.. menu is available to your table via QR and service was prompt.. the only reason I rate the service 4 is that the young girl that served genuinely seemed like it was the last place on earth she wanted to be. I will also mention that lighting is also a bit tricky in some areas as I found dealing with some paperwork a bit of a chore. And it was quite chilly as the air con seemed to be on high. On the whole though a lovely clean and vibrant place to chill/study and I would definitely return.

We had a 3 night weekend break at the Ducie Street Warehouse, and really loved the way that the former cotton warehouse has been restored. Our apartment was contemporary and comfortable, and also very quiet. Ducie Street Warehouse is in a very central location, just around the corner from Manchester Piccadilly Station!

I love the vibe at Ducie Street Warehouse—the atmosphere is incredible! The staff were so welcoming and friendly, especially Tilly, who went above and beyond to make our experience even better.

Tilly was amazing! Great service and a lovely place all around

Such a cool spot with great food and staff - big shoutout to Tilly for always providing the best service

All the staff were lovely but especially Tilly who was unreal!!!

Good spacious atmosphere and food. Rooms are amazing with own washing machine etc

Ducie Street Warehouse is such a cool and stylish venue, perfect for couples wanting a modern city wedding with a laid-back, fun vibe. I’ve had the pleasure of capturing weddings here, and they’re always incredible from the chic industrial interiors to the warm, intimate atmosphere. The space has a contemporary yet relaxed feel, making it ideal for amazing celebrations. The city streets just outside are perfect for urban couple portraits, adding a modern edge to the photos. Plus, the staff are absolutely fantastic, going above and beyond to make sure every wedding runs seamlessly. If you’re after a trendy Manchester venue with character and an unforgettable party vibe, Ducie Street Warehouse is a top choice! Ali from Ameer Photography.

Was once a great place to eat but feel like it’s become to go downhill. Visited at the weekend, service was poor with a meal missed off the order. Staff didn’t realise until we mentioned it. Service was moody and slow. Food was lacking in flavour. There’s so many places to eat in Manchester, I would suggest going elsewhere.

Had breakfast after a wonderful stay, our server Kevin gave us excellent service, definitely coming back.

Great atmosphere, nice food, really enjoyed

What a beautiful factory / warehouse conversion. Massive social space, which was a stone's throw from Piccadilly City, open air car park and our hotel. The breakfast brunch menu was extremely delicious (can highly recommend the garlic mushrooms on sourdough). We enjoyed so much so that we went back the next day. Staff very friendly and helpful. On the Saturday we enjoined a group discount offer, which sadly wasn't available on the Sunday, but delicious nonetheless. Will definitely be back when next visiting Manchester! Thank you!!

A large renovated warehouse now operating as a bar and restaurant. It had a funky vibe with live music supplied by an on-site DJ. The music was just a tad too high if you wanted to chat across a table. Otherwise, it was all good. The drinks were reasonably priced and service was quick. I can not comment on the food as I only stopped for one drink.

Worth a visit if in the area - fairly limited lunch menu, but food is good and a nice spot for a late night cocktail

What a, great find! Loved it. Sadly no avocardo available at lunch time which limited the remaining menu items ... poor planning ... still a great atmosphere and concept

Comforting atmosphere and Tangina offered lovely service! Will definitely be coming back

Beautiful place, I was served by Tangina and ordered the chorizo and avocado, would go again!

Came on a Sunday for a roast; Amazing food and cocktails, but even better service! Special shout out to Kevin, Sol, Indie and Annie <3

Had a lovely time all round but a special shout to to the team who made my experience extra special: Sammy, Sol, Kevin, Annie, Indy thank you see you next time

Stayed here for 3 nights with my dog. Service was great and the rooms were modern and spacious. Made to feel very welcome.

I really like this place. Airy lounge-like atmosphere, soft lighting with lovely coffee and bar. Great place to get some work done or go for a casual meet up. Very good location with Piccadilly station 1 min walk away. I have yet to discover a similar place in Manchester, but it’s very much needed. Will try something to eat next time from menu. As of my experience, I have no complaints.

Unfortunately quite a disappointing experience. Prices are higher in the restaurant than advertised online. Was given a different drink to what was ordered. When I asked about the ingredients in one of the signature cocktails, the waitress just said “I don’t know” and left it at that. The chicken burger was burnt and dry, and the fact they are charging £18 for that is outrageous. Similarly chicken bites were dry, they were a struggle to eat. Lamb Kofta sauce was delicious, but the meat was also dry and hard to eat. I never normally leave bad reviews but I don’t think I’ve ever been so disappointed leaving a restaurant. The prices are way too high for the quality of food being served, will never return.

Absolutely amazing hotel, beautifully renovated old buildings into a stunning space. Hotel room had everything we could ask for and staff attended to everything we could have asked for and more, special shoutout to Matilda!

Service was great, the food delicious and the venue quite atmospheric. It has a feel of a trendy high school canteen with an open kitchen and bar in the middle, in a nice way though.

Amazing service at DSW at always, food was outstanding - always served very quickly with amazing service to accompany it. We were sat in the restaurant area long after anyone else and we were made to feel comfortable and not rushed at all in terms of leaving. Thanks to Sam especially!

I love DSW but can you please stop using Alpro? How about some delicious Oatly? Thanks

Really nice place. Stopped off for lunch by chance. They were still serving the brunch menu. Food was excellent. I had the chorizo and Avocado toast and my vegetarian daughter opted for the Avocado and kimchi toast. Both dishes were very good. Nice venue with a large bar area.

After having a pleasant dining experience here in 2022, we thought to return and take our friends who were visiting the city to DSW for dinner. We left embarrassed and it was arguably my worst dining experience in Manchester after living in the city for 5 years. Where to even begin ? By 8pm they had told us that there was no pizza dough left and we had to change our meal plans. We ordered sourdough and balsamic and they bought out basically a burnt hovis loaf. How any respectable restaurant brings this out under the name of sourdough is shocking. The caesar salad main was another laughable meal, missing key ingredients and was at the same level ( if not worse ) than a supermarket caesar salad packet . The staff were unwelcoming and uninterested, and just an overall unpleasant experience.

Great working space and lovely coffee

Went here on the January 50% off deal as looked at the online menu and it looked nice. However, my fault, the menu on the 50% deal was completely different and much smaller, which I hadn't seen online. Arrived with friends on a bitterly cold night and walked through to the restaurant, which was absolutely freezing, not a great start. Very quiet , but sat down, then we were given the menu, which as I said wasnt the normal menu that was online. Staff were not really friendly, none of us fancied the menu, plus expensive drinks...£11 for a glass of wine. We decided to leave at that point and go somewhere with a better menu, more welcoming and warmer. Wouldn't return, much better places to eat in Manchester

Big shout out to Kevin & Callum - delicious Sunday dins

The food was terrible. Had the buffalo chicken burger that was basically three bland chicken nuggets on the tiniest burger. Luckily it was the 50% off food for January as I'd have hated to pay £17 quid for it Service was very apathetic. Left us waiting ages. Nice space... maybe stick to drinks if you're going.

The first time I went here I absolutely loved it and so I recommended here tonight. However it was not the same experience. Very disappointing food, almost too rich to eat. The brie bites were not bites to say the least and not an easy eat. Service was nowhere to be found. Unfortunately, floor staff did not stay near the restaurant leading to slow service. Having worked in hospitality I do always try take an understanding stance however it took a while to get the bill and to pay just adding to overall frustration. It was also off putting that on a ledge behind our heads were stacked plates from dirty tables alongside trays of dirty glasses. Would probably recommend going for drinks as the atmosphere was great however food did not live up to standard.

Lovely breakfast setting only added to by our server Kevin for his welcoming and attentive grace. Good veg options and yummy cappuccinos.

Wonderful service from Kevin in this light filled space!

Absolute clown show, do not book Update: Raised the issue at the front desk and they got defensive and were more concerned with going through their excuses than giving an apology. Hotel: Loud alarm going off at 5am in big atrium space outside rooms for at least 30mins (maybe closer to an hour in the end) NO ONE accessible on any numbers within the whole building. The fact no one is around to sort something out is shocking, had this been an emergency god knows then Food: Got order wrong, had to request change. Then got a burnt order. Was very hungry at the time so just left it. Processed burger, not far off a burger van quality

Such a lovely venue with tasty food and a projector showing Xmas classic movies

We paid £12 for this margarita.. a joke! It tasted horrendous and the girl at the bar said that’s how it’s served and got so annoyed when I complained. The place is so overpriced, massive queues to get drinks and service is terrible. I won’t be going back.

Not an exaggeration when i saw the food at any fast food or chicken place is miles better than this rubbish. Considering it was a xmas dinner, pre booked, table on time and the kitchen knew exactly what we ordered the service took three times as long as it should have, food came out luke warm or cold. Chicken 'burger' was actually unseasoned strips of chicken goujons for some people with a doorstop of a tomato wedge. When the food and the service is so bad the staff apologies unprompted. Avoid this mess of a place.

Great atmosphere in here , good for meets. Brilliant location.

Excellent place for casual drink, food good too.

Went for brunch today and was surprised by the surliness of 2 /3 people who we interacted with. Zero smiles , zero warmth and zero interest in their customers. I chose the Little Ducie - absolutely shocking presentation and lacking in any kind of skill. I was served up a plate swimming on baked beans with a slice of bread covering an egg and a slice of bacon . I left the barely warm sausage . Manchester is a city full of great places to brunch , this isn’t one do them. The espresso martini was nice though .

Really nice space but the service was absolutely terrible. We were seated and pretty much left to our own devices, I had to find a member of staff after 20mins of waiting to get them to take our order. The food was pretty bland - I had one of the pinzas and it was super dry. The cauliflower wings were okay, could have done with more seasoning. My mates had the burgers and they were pretty pleased. All in all, pretty bog standard, which would have been fine had the service not been abysmal.

Dear Ducie Street Breakfast Wizards, What a morning feast! My visit to your warehouse of wonders proved that breakfast isn’t just a meal—it’s an event. The star of the show? Those huge sausages. Juicy, flavorful, and utterly satisfying, they were a carnivore’s dream come true. The wait? Worth every second. From the eggs cooked to perfection to the hearty portions that could fuel a day’s adventures, everything was served with a side of style and care. It’s clear you take breakfast seriously, and my taste buds are all the better for it. Ducie Street Warehouse, you’ve officially set the bar for morning indulgence. I’ll be back for round two (and definitely for those sausages). Breakfastfully yours, “Feedback is a gift”

Great place to do some work on the laptop and enjoy good coffee and food, and a drink

Stayed one night in this spacious studio apartment, my daughter said it smelt like her student accommodation (of cooking) but I couldn’t smell anything. Halloumi was lovely, chips were good, both were enough for 3 or 4 people in a takeaway box. Breakfast was good but service slow.

I highly recommend this Apart hotel, Restaurant, Bar and Work Space. The Studio Apartment I stayed in was really well appointed. It is superbly located and the F&B offer is excellent. Breakfast is good too.

Such a shame. Attended on Saturday evening. The place was grossly understaffed. The poor service team could not cope. The sorry situation was that the restaurant appeared to only have a few tables occupied. However, I understand there was a private function in a separate room. Food was all preordered due to our party being for 12 covers. Despite being preordered certain items did not arrive, majority was served cold & dry due to resting for so long on the passe. I would not recommend this venue.

Found a gem in the middle of the hustle bussle. As a solo traveller you can get people areas and own space as much as you need.

Decent food,friendly service,reasonable prices.

Excellent appt we had for 2 nights, spacious with facilities allowing us to have the options for eating. Position was great for our agenda although Manchester is quite large and areas may require more travel than we needed. Be aware bar shuts at 11 and there are no nearby late bars.

Do not expect to get any food even slightly resembling the lead photos. Also expect chicken that tastes like it has been cooked from frozen. The worst food I have ever eaten. I say eaten, left half of it. Pity as nice venue that is let down by standards of food and service.

Took over 20 minutes to get a drink and there was 4 people in the queue. One bartender trying to make drinks for all the tables in the restaurant and serve those in the bar. Really poorly managed. I’d go elsewhere

Love this place, Sunday brunch was perfect and the atmosphere was really chilled

Ceri was attentive and awesome. Would definitely return for the incredible service. Thank you for taking care of us! Ask to be sat in Ceri's section if you book.

What a pleasant surprise! We were served by the wonderful Ceri who made us feel like the only people in the restaurant. Excellent food, great wine, and awesome music!! Will definitely return

Enjoyed a good breakfast in a relaxing environment.

Exceptional service atmosphere, rooms were also fantastic.

Kevin is a fantastic waiter and made us feel comfortable- and attended to our every need!

This was the worst brunch I've had in 5 years in Manchester. The menu app was faulty and didn't distinguish what was vegan for my friend. I got a physical menu from the bar and this menu had different items and stated that their poached eggs were vegan??? The staff were actually nice but the service as whole as awful because it made ordering food so difficult. I had the mushrooms on toast. My friends got the pancakes and the full English. The mushrooms were so tasteless, I took two bites of the food and left the rest (i never normally leave food). My friends said their food was pretty bad too. It's hard to mess up brunch food and it's a shame because it's a gorgeous building and has a good vibe.

Intetesting place, vibrant, spacious, stylish

Kevin couldn’t have been more helpful, and to add on top of that, the breakfast made by Ross was one of the best we have had. What a great experience Thank you

Staff were friendly but the service is slow. Portions are small for the price, quality isn't great, menu is unimaginative, and you will have to pay 10% service charge whether you like or not (no warning given though). We were served sourdough instead of rosemary focaccia and no explanation was given, half frozen food served, also ingredients missing, and we were overcharged at the end. Definitely the optics seem to be all that's important in this place, so perhaps decent for drinks but definitely we do not recommend eating anything there.

Update 15/10/24: I tried Ducie again at lunchtime (yes, I'm a mug) and ordered a small plate. I was obviously still waiting after 20 minutes, so went back to the bar to ask if they could check on it. They came back and said, sheepishly, it was being made - obviously I had to ask to find out, no-one was going to come to me to explain the delay. I asked how long and they said they didn't know. I got a refund. So this isn't criticism of the food, it's criticism of lack of information - again - from Ducie. I've been to places where as you order they say, "are you OK with a 30-minute wait?" - normal to ask, right? Not Ducie though. In a nutshell, if you aren't on a lunchbreak and have time to kill, and you're not hungry.. and you're patient then Ducie may suit you. Otherwise, no. ---------------------------------- Second time I've been here for lunch and staff remain clueless as to who to give dishes to. Sat waiting for one dish, a member of staff with a plate that looked like it was for me looked around and just gave a large table, who already had dishes on their table, the dish. The guy on the table looked perplexed but accepted. Another member of staff said their app wasn't working for the tables outside on the terrace. Truly awful. Made a complaint and got my cash back, which was good of them. But trust me, if you're looking for a lunchtime meal while at work, don't come here.

We had our wedding breakfast and party at Ducie and absolutely loved it! Matilda was absolutely brilliant helping us organise the day. We were going for a really low key relaxed day, but with a lot of guests at night. Matilda made sure we weren't stressing about anything we didn't need to, and all the staff made us feel really relaxed and welcome. Thanks guys! Can't wait to come back for a drink sometime soon. A&J x

Lovely Sunday breakfast, had the Big Ducie and it was a brilliant fry up. Great service from Kevin as always!

Kevin was good but the girls’ by and large looked bored and couldn’t be bothered to smile!!!! Or even SPEAK !!

Sorry I thought I had left a comment... I found the food nice and the person serving was friendly, but the service was slow and inattentive considering how quiet it was. I don’t think it’s a bad place, but lacks identity/atmosphere. I rate a lot of places and probably strict on marking. 5 are special places and 4 ones I really enjoyed. I would give you 3.5 but not an option. Happy to send further details to email.

Unfortunately the staff were far too busy to check in with us. Had to remind twice about drinks after waiting over 20 minutes. Felt forgotten and struggled for help. We really aren't the most demanding table by any means. Felt extremely let down. Ran out of roast beef at 2pm, overall left feeling short changed especially with a 10% service charge when we couldn't get service!

Came for a roast at the weekend and was really disappointed. Firstly all three roasts came out cold so they swapped them out for us. Then when they came back warmer everything was so bland, the chicken was really overcooked and dry at the same time as being very pale which was odd and everything else was pretty tasteless and didn't have any seasoning particularly the cabbage and soggy roast potatoes. Came here for a roast last year and it was really great so don't know what has happened. Felt like a complete waste of money which is so frustrating when it's not cheap to eat out - £100 for three of us without any alcohol. There are many other places in town to get a roast for a similar price but 10x the quality. The staff overall all seemed a bit miserable - can't blame them to be honest!

Really enjoyed our bottomless brunch at Ducie. Kevin our lovely waiter was incredibly kind, friendly and attentive. Highly recommend

Kevin was a gem! Couldn't have been any nicer or accommodating!

Great service from Kevin, had a lovely afternoon at bottomless brunch!

Had a lovely afternoon at the bottomless disco brunch. We were looked after by Kevin, who couldn’t do enough for us!

Kevin was brilliant looking after us. Top service.

Really bad service - staff were not attentive at all (even with drinks) and service was slow. It's a shame - I had heard that the restaurant had gone downhill, but as we had the booking we went ahead, but it's definitely not somewhere I would either recommend or return to now unfortunately.

Having walked across Manchester on a fire ds recommendation we were looking forward to breakfast on our anniversary weekend away. I ordered a full breakfast and my wife ordered ham and cheese toasted sandwich which was meant to come on a nice focaccia bread. My breakfast was stone cold, I sent it back, it came back cold a second time, I sent it back and they remade the whole breakfast which came cold a third time. I could see the chef laughing and sniggering and looking over at me. But it was cold. It also came back with no hash brown in the plate. My wife's sandwich was on basic white bread not focaccia and they used streaky bacon instead of ham. It wasn't the sandwich she had ordered. We ate 15 minutes apart and in silence because I was so angry at the situation. They didn't care or try to explain the situation. Just left us sitting at eating separately. We left without a other word being spoken by a staff member. Nice building, but wouldn't recommend food there. Ruined a nice morning for us.

Hosted in the mini cini room, staff was really nice and helpful and the room was awesome! Could probably use some air conditioning though as it got very warm.. but that is my 1 and only criticism.

Came for breakfast, very disappointed! Full breakfast ordered, beans were ice cold, replaced by luke warm beans….we complained a second time, it was then replaced with a ‘new’ full breakfast which was mediocre, had less items on than the first breakfast and yes you guessed it…. still not hot!! And it took another 15-20 mins to arrive… in an empty restaurant! Croquet monsier also ordered, advertised with rosemary focaccia… just normal thin white bread was given, fatty bacon instead of ham, and the bottom slice of bread didn’t even seem toasted just soggy and greasy….so overall Very very disappointing… almost £40 for breakfast for two people we were expecting much more especially after visiting 2 years ago and it being great… we will not revisit

What makes a lovely meal a special meal is the service. This was exceptional and our waitress Ceri made it wonderful. The food, the ambiance, everything was lovely

We hosted a private corporate event at Ducie Street Warehouse and the experience was great start to finish. Matilda was extremely helpful in planning the event and Sam, Hannah & Zainab were brilliant working the event in the evening. Nothing was too much trouble and we were fully taken care of. Food was great and we had fab feedback. I would definitely use this space again for events in the future!

Was there Sunday breakfast. Had to wait a long time for someone to come and give us a table. The excessive waiting continued throughout the experience. Had to wait more than 30 minutes for the food and coffee. But coffee arrived long after food was finished. I think they did not have enough staff. There was one waiter called Lucas, who was kind and friendly and bent backwards to make it all good. I am grateful to him.

Average at best in my opinion. I had the avo eggs for brunch which was £11-12. Very plain, no seasoning etc. had better for half the price. Quite slow too and it wasn't busy..

Great space and atmosphere for work night out. We were well accommodated and communication to book and per order was good. The food was great .

Kevin served us two days and was very awesome to take care of my gluten allergy and a family. Would stay here again and breakfast if back in Manchester!

Nice warehouse trendy bar feel atmosphere. Meat heavy menu. Good service
