Trof Northern Quarter

Review by Keeley Watts

If you are looking for a good deal in one of the original Northern Quarter bars, Trof have got you covered.

Trof is traditionally ‘Northern Quarter’ in style with exposed brick walls, comfy leather banquette seating and hidden nooks where you can get together with friends for a few hours over one of their classic cocktails.

Something to snack on while chatting that does not hold back on quality

The food menu at Trof matches their style perfectly. Traditionally hearty dishes feature throughout with the Pork and Fennel Sausage on their dinner small plates menu being particularly good. It comes served with a crème fraiche and piperade. Something to snack on while chatting that does not hold back on quality.

There is a great range of vegan dishes such as the Veggie Fritter Burger or a very tasty Chickpea and Spinach Curry, served with rice and nigella seed flatbread for something a little different. There are ample healthy options with some tasty sounding salads, although the Trof Chop of the Week was a particular hit. Soft and juicy lamb served on metal skewers atop a bed of well seasoned cous cous, with a flatbread to wrap it all up in. It was delicious.

Dishes are made on site with fresh ingredients sourced as locally as possible

Prices usually average around £7 for small plates or around £16 for mains. You can forget the day with some good food and a couple of drinks at a reasonable price.

All the dishes served from the Trof kitchen are made on site with fresh ingredients sourced as locally as possible. All meat is supplied by by Littlewood Butchers and eggs are laid locally in Cheshire. You can enjoy their breakfast menu until 2pm, when it changes over to their dinner menu.
