Food & Drink
This historic Ancoats pub has been brought back to life
The team behind Cottonopolis have reopened the abandoned Victorian pub which dates back to 1811.
Set to be the beating heart of the Ancoats neighbourhood, Edinburgh Castle is a pub that will serve food with a traditional angle from its ground floor but will have a 36-cover restaurant upstairs that will focus on British food with seasonality and provenance.
“A proper boozer with a proper pint.”
There will be a brunch menu on the weekends available 10am-3pm, and a Sunday Roast which promises to be on of the best in the city served each Sunday 12pm-8pm.
The man behind the drinks, Gethin Jones, promises that the pub focus will be on a good pint, Guinness on tap, a ‘solid’ Irish Coffee, and that guests can expect a strong whisky offering and a very considered gin list.
