Northern Monk Refectory MCR is located in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter.
Take-away beers are available throughout the week with a 15% discount. Order and collect from the Refectory. Please note, due to the fact that this is a listed building, unfortunately, there are no lift facilities available.
Under 18s are welcome in the venue until 8pm as per our licence.
We offer a casual environment and service, and welcome walk-ins. But if you would like to, we offer table bookings to enable you to pre-plan your visit and be sure of a seat.
The seeds for Cardinal Rule were planted in 2018 when we visited Manchester and loved everything it had to offer, but we missed a quintessential piece of home — the biscuit.
Where we’re from, a fluffy, buttery biscuit is the heart of the southern American breakfast table. No breakfast is complete without it, whether you’re piling on jam, topping it with gravy, or loading it up with bacon and eggs for a stick-to-your-ribs satisfying meal.
We’ve taken the time to perfect our biscuit with the help of our friends in Virginia and Texas and we can’t wait to share our joy, butter, and love with you!
From 11 -4 on Saturday and Sundays only, there is also a special breakfast menu.
