Gherkin

Cafe-cum-bar in converted former retail premises. Sited in a hitherto under-pubbed area of Levenshulme, close to the West Point area, and at the northern end of Burnage Ln. The cafe serves vegetarian and vegan fare alongside the usual coffees, teas, etc. Meanwhile, the bar serves a small number of draught keg beers; cask or craft beers may make a future appearance. Brightly decorated interior featuring a settle, a long-case clock, and a multitude of lamps and mirrors; the bar is set at the rear. Large covered, outdoor seating area to the front, and a further one at the back. Owner Jamie Whittaker
