Allpress at NOMA
Book now

Allpress opened its first Manchester site at NOMA in 2023, its first cafe outside London and now the brand’s Northern HQ – a 2,500 sq ft space in the Redfern building housing a café, barista training hub and coffee machinery workshop. Before that, its beans were already circulating round the city via Ancoats regulars Trove, Campanio and Erst, plus retailers Carhartt and Patagonia.

As the site approaches its third year, Allpress has launched Manchester Lates, a season of one-night pop-ups in partnership with Natoora, handing the cafe over to a different local operator each date.

Thirds Club (Alicia Mayne and Georgia Worral) opens on Thursday 20 August with a four-course vegetarian menu – carosello cucumber gazpacho, a salt and vinegar donut with white bean and heirloom tomato, pumpkin with toum and biquinho, and raspberry and lemon verbena rice pudding – at £45pp, doors 6.30pm.

So Much Everything follows on 10 September with a pay-per-plate format, Osma brings Scandinavian-inspired dishes on 24 September, and Almanac closes the series on 1 October with a seven-course, family-style British tasting menu.

£10 from every ticket goes to Natoora’s Farm Fund, with the remainder paid directly to the chefs; produce across all four events is supplied by Natoora.
