About Chorlton Tap
Chorlton Tap is a relaxed neighbourhood pub that has earned strong affection for its craft beer selection and Sunday roasts. The venue stocks an impressive range of cask, keg, and indie beers, with many clearly labelled for dietary requirements including vegan options. The kitchen delivers consistently praised roasts featuring tender meat and generous sides—particularly the cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire puddings—at reasonable prices. Beyond roasts, the menu spans pizza and vegan tasting menus, with staff noted for their enthusiasm and welcoming approach. The pub's dual-room layout offers choice between a quieter space and one with live music, while a heated smoking area and sun-trap beer garden extend its appeal. Located handy for the tram, it's become a go-to spot for both solo diners and groups seeking quality food and drink in a convivial atmosphere.
