Pip Manchester – Modern British Dining with Chef Mary-Ellen McTague, Michelin Recommended

Chef Mary-Ellen McTague’s curious kitchen

At Pip, chef Mary-Ellen McTague leads a kitchen driven by curiosity and a light, inventive touch. Her cooking is grounded in thoughtful, sustainable practices, making use of local and unconventional ingredients to create dishes that feel both surprising and deeply connected to Manchester’s evolving food scene. Every plate, she says, is “a fresh taste of Manchester’s ever-evolving food scene.”

Michelin-recognised Modern British cooking

Pip’s inclusion in the MICHELIN Guide is a natural reflection of this approach. The restaurant sits within Treehouse Hotel Manchester, but it stands on its own as a destination for Modern British cuisine that balances creativity with restraint. The menu changes seasonally, drawing on what’s best from nearby producers, and the kitchen’s willingness to work with less common ingredients keeps the experience fresh.

A setting that suits the food

The restaurant itself echoes the hotel’s playful, treehouse-inspired design – warm, relaxed, and just a little unexpected. For those who prefer to dine outdoors, Pip’s Patio offers a smaller seasonal menu and a more casual atmosphere, open from breakfast through evening. Whether you’re there for a Sunday roast (served until sold out), a weekday à la carte meal, or a drink during Pip’s Happy Hour, the tone is consistently welcoming and unhurried.

A restaurant for all hours

Pip serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, with extended hours on weekends. The all-day dining format means you can drop in for a coffee and a pastry or settle in for a full evening meal. The bar programme, with cocktails and a curated wine list, complements the food without overshadowing it.

In a city with no shortage of ambitious restaurants, Pip distinguishes itself through its chef’s singular vision and its ability to make thoughtful, sustainable Modern British cooking feel effortless.
