Pull Up Bar Cafe is a Caribbean restaurant and bar at 14–16 Swan Street in Manchester’s Northern Quarter. Colour, music and a strong community spirit give the venue a lively character for meals, drinks and regular events.
Jerk chicken and curried goat are among the dishes that express the kitchen’s Caribbean focus. Fish, grilled meat and vegetable choices add breadth, while bold marinades, spice and sweet, sharp accompaniments bring contrast across a meal.
Sunday service includes Caribbean-inspired roasts, extending the menu beyond the usual dinner format. Vegetarian choices make it easier for mixed groups to share the experience, and generous boxes offer another way to sample several flavours together.
Cocktails, including rum-led house drinks, support the bar atmosphere and pair naturally with the food. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should confirm the current recipes, marinades and preparation procedures with staff before ordering.
Address: 14–16 Swan Street, Manchester M4 5JN, England
Pull Up Menu
Mains
Create your own fusion by picking and mixing our mains and sides to make your perfect meal!
Jerk Chicken
Our six-stage Jamaican Jerk Chicken starts with a secret marinade that includes pimento, scotch bonnet and thyme. It’s then flame-grilled the traditional way over coal, basted twice, flung in the oven to cook through, to be returned to the grill to crisp up with one more layer of jerk basting sauce. It’s finished with chicken pan gravy, mango and coriander.
Curry Goat
This Indo-Jamaican, one-pot wonder will knock your socks off! We’ve left the classic flavours there and finished with mint-cucumber yoghurt, pomegranate and coriander. It’s all in the long marinade; deeper flavours are reached through the slow cooking of meat on the bone. This is goat on the bone, big bones.
Lamb Chops
Marinaded in ginger, chilli, garlic, cumin and black pepper, served with mango and coriander salsa, avocado hummus. Grilled how you’d like! We recommend medium-rare.
