Sam's Chop House
A Victorian cellar British restaurant established in 1868, famous for its homemade corned beef hash and a bronze statue of L.S. Lowry.
Established in 1868 by Samuel Studd, this is one of Manchester's most historic English eateries, tucked away in a Victorian cellar on Chapel Walks. Next to the bar sits a life-sized bronze statue of the painter L.S. Lowry, who, according to Harden's, used to have lunch here daily. The signature dish is their secret-recipe homemade corned beef hash, alongside classic British dishes like steak and kidney pudding and Barnsley chop. Main courses average around £20, and a three-course dinner with half a bottle of wine is about £59. Booking is recommended for weekend evenings. It is about a 3-minute walk from St Ann's Square.
