Museum Café

Situated on Oxford Road, at the heart of the University of Manchester, the Museum Café provides a unique dining experience to compliment any visit to the Museum or campus.

A menu that doesn’t cost the earth

We aim to provide food and drink supporting a fair and sustainable future for people and planet.

* You’ll notice that our menu doesn’t contain meat, that’s because eating less meat means less destruction of wild places and less climate pollution choices.
* Where possible our ingredients are Fairtrade certified, meaning safer working conditions and fairer pay for farmers.
* We support local producers and suppliers so that our ingredients don’t have to travel far.  We work with a local free range Lancashire dairy and award winning local female run bakery.
* We use The Bee Cup, a new pioneering returnable cup scheme to eliminate the use of paper cups.
