About the Whitworth Cafe
Our café is run by the University’s Hospitality team, who offer exceptional hospitality, superb food and exciting menus for a range of venues, events, and meetings across the University campus.
The café delivers high-quality food to enhance a visit to the gallery. The menus at the café aim to showcase fresh local and seasonal produce from around the Manchester and north-west area. With a focus on using ethically sourced ingredients from specialist suppliers who commit to environmental and social responsibility.
Everything is served in our beautiful café and restaurant, a highlight of the Whitworth. Located in the elegant glass and stainless steel extension designed by MUMA, the café overlooks Whitworth Park and our strikingly designed Art Garden. With floor-to-ceiling windows, this is the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors, whatever the weather.
