A new steak and ‘iconic’ burger spot is coming to Circle Square

A new restaurant specialising in steaks and ‘iconic burgers’ is set to open at Manchester’s Circle Square.

Meatworks will open its doors on Wed 5 Feb, and comes from the team behind the national smash burger specialists Boo and Midlands-based butchery Halal Editions.

The new spot will feature a mixture of traditional burger patties and smash burgers across a variety of unique flavour combinations. There’ll also be steaks and a range of ‘innovative and distinctive’ small plates including their signature cheeseburger dumplings and slow-cooked short rib pancakes.

The 52-cover restaurant will bring a ‘cool and casual new dining space’ to the increasingly-popular area just off Oxford Road. The venue is designed to create a relaxed experience whilst retaining the character of the space with a stripped-back look that embraces the raw materials and modern architecture.

The team says they are passionate about working with the highest quality suppliers of Irish, grass-fed Aberdeen Angus beef. The restaurant will welcome guests all day long, and lunchtime value specials will include smash burger and fries for just £10.

Whilst the restaurant is alcohol-free, the menu includes an array of mocktails, such as their kiwi mojito and lychee and lemongrass mocktail, providing a unique spin on classic cocktail recipes alongside new flavours. There is also a tasty plant-based dish available for meat-free guests.

Mohammed Suleman from Meatworks added: “We’re thrilled to be opening Meatworks and share our passion for great food with the people of Manchester. Burgers and high quality meats are in our DNA and we’re excited to bring our expertise to Circle Square and its growing community. The destination is the perfect location for our first opening in the city. We promise to offer bold flavours and innovative dishes and can’t wait to welcome our first customers.”
