About this Pub

Why it's great for Matchdays

The Wharf sits in Castlefield about 1.8 miles from Old Trafford; the pub’s own info notes roughly a 35-minute walk and even suggests a match-day canal barge option. It’s also 450m from Deansgate-Castlefield Metrolink/Deansgate rail, making onward travel to the stadium straightforward on matchdays. As a Brunning & Price pub it runs several cask lines, with CAMRA recording 12 handpumps and a rotating selection alongside house beers, so you can get a quality pre- or post-match pint. A full food menu is served daily, which suits groups timing meals around kick-off. Old Trafford matchday guides also call out The Wharf (Castlefield) as a relaxed pre-match option before heading to the game—ideal if you prefer a neutral city-centre spot rather than the busy pubs right by the ground.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

An absolutely excellent Christmas Day at The Wharf! From the moment we arrived, the welcome was textbook—warm, organized, and perfect. A special mention must go to our server, who was wearing a red dress and looked fabulous! She was so charming, friendly, and a total professional throughout the entire afternoon. Since we had a dog with us, we requested a table in the bar area. The team was incredibly accommodating; the space is so dog-friendly and our table was beautifully laid. I had the Salmon to start followed by the Beef Wellington, and both were delicious. Christmas can be a stressful day to manage, but the team here made it look easy. Thank you

Came here for Sunday lunch and it was delicious! I’d recommend the nut roast and side of cauliflower cheese 🌱 have been to multiple Brunning and Price locations and would say this is one of the best! Nice attentive staff, and they gave our friends boxes to take away their leftovers 📦

One of the most wonderful restaurants I have ever been to. The food, service & atmosphere were great. I ordered prawn-salmon papparadelle and was delicious. The chocolate brownie for dessert is highly recommended.
