Reckon Manchester has more than its fair share of excellent burger restaurants? Well, you’d be wrong, because another one has rolled into town.
After opening successful haute couture fast food sites in Amsterdam, Berlin and Ibiza, THE BUTCHER has brought its world-famous burgers to the UK for the first time, and they chose Manchester as the city to do it in.

THE BUTCHER Manchester has taken up residency at Urban Playground, a revolutionary entertainment destination opening in the Arndale later this month. Urban Playground will also host a world exclusive of THE CUBE Live experience featuring exciting games from the high-octane game show and will also be home to Putters, tech-infused mini-golf.
There will also be a premium bar with a food concept provided by the award-winning gourmet burger brand, THE BUTCHER, which is renowned for its high-end take on fast food.
THE BUTCHER uses Aberdeen Angus beef with only the finest fresh ingredients from the selection of herbs and unique signature sauces, right down to the homemade buns. THE BUTCHER stands for quality and is committed to serving the world’s best burgers teamed with relaxed and cool interiors.
THE BUTCHER Manchester’s menu includes signature burgers as well as variations such as ‘The Daddy’ (230g of prime Aberdeen Angus beef topped with melted Edam cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon, BBQ sauce and grilled onion) and the ‘Truffle Burger’ with a truffled glaze.

Non-beef burgers include ‘Silence of the Lamb’ as well as ‘THE BUTCHER’s Wife's Favourite’ chicken burger. Diners can also choose ‘The Codfather’ beer battered blue cod and chips, or and ‘The Veggie Delight’, a fried smashed chickpea patty. THE BUTCHER will also offer a menu of extra indulgent homemade milkshakes, along with bottle beer and soft drinks.

THE BUTCHER, which first launched in Amsterdam in 2012, is the first concept from THE ENTOURAGE GROUP, who are renowned for creating internationally acclaimed food and beverage concepts across the world.
Owners and founders Yossi Eliyahoo and Liran Wizman, along with the group’s CEO Stephanie Pearson, aim to set the new standard for modern hospitality. Following their first UK launch with THE BUTCHER Manchester, THE ENTOURAGE GROUP is looking to introduce more brands from the portfolio to cities across the UK.
“We knew that the UK was the next stop for our international expansion plans, and Manchester truly is a global hotspot,” says Yossi Eliyahoo. “A city that is constantly evolving with many exciting happenings that command worldwide attention. This is the perfect city for our first UK concept, and it had to be THE BUTCHER - its fast, its sleek, its modern, but quality is never compromised.”

THE BUTCHER aimed to serve the world’s best haute couture burgers starting with THE BUTCHER Albert Cuyp and its ‘K.I.Q’ (keep it quiet) secret kitchen in Amsterdam. The success of the first high-end burger bar led to the opening of THE BUTCHER West (2014), food truck THE BUTCHER on Wheels (2016), THE BUTCHER Berlin (2016), THE BUTCHER Nine Streets (2016), THE BUTCHER Social Club (2016), and THE BUTCHER Ibiza (2017).
THE BUTCHER Manchester will also offer a delivery service via UberEats, Deliveroo and Just Eat.
