Latest review:

Amazing tasting menu, so many great dishes over a long and adventurous menu. The pace between the dishes was really good, at the start the snacks come straight after you finish the previous one! The wine pairing was really nice and balanced it well. Great atmosphere, friendly and chatty servers. Loved sitting by the kitchen for one of the courses. My favourites were the mushroom set custard, the chicken wing, the cod, and the trout tartlet. Thanks to all the team! Smashing it

Our review of Skof (January 2026)

Since opening in May 2024, it's fair to say Skof, located in central Manchester, has been one of the hottest tickets in town. The first solo restaurant from Tom Barnes (who spent many years under renowned chef Simon Rogan) has earned rave reviews from every angle consistently since opening, and the award of a Michelin star in February 2025 (and three AA rosettes later that year too) cemented this as a restaurant worthy of note in the eyes of the major restaurant guides too. After some rapid mouse clicking a few months earlier to secure a booking, I was eagerly looking forward to my first visit as I rocked up for lunch with my wife on a cold January Saturday, to celebrate my wife's birthday....
