The food is unpretentious but of great quality, creating a comforting experience for all passers-by.

The Apiary

ETM was founded back in 2000, with a single pub in Clerkenwell. Since then, the company has taken its passion for creating unique, exciting venues and opened more than 17 smart city gastropubs, contemporary brasseries, sophisticated bars and local pubs, collecting plenty of awards along the way.

Their ‘Made in Manchester’ drinks menu celebrates the culture and growing number of independent craft producers and gives them an international platform to showcase their products from the likes of; Three Rivers Gin, Thomas Dakin, Steep Soda Co, Manchester Still, Zymurgorium and Didsbury Gin to name a few.
