Vocation & Co. Manchester — Restaurant in Manchester

I visited Vocation & Co. Manchester with colleagues, and while the atmosphere was nice and the variety of beers impressive, the overall experience was disappointing. Despite having a booked table, we found other people sitting at it when we arrived. The place was packed, which I understand given it was a Friday night, but the service left much to be desired.

I ordered a burger through the table QR code, and after waiting for a long time, I noticed that others who ordered after me were already eating. When I asked about my order, I was told it would take another 15 minutes. After waiting even longer, I had to request a refund because we were about to leave for another booking. They did refund me and brought the burger soon after, but I had to rush through my meal, and to top it off, the burger wasn’t even that good.

While I appreciate the refund, the overall experience was frustrating. The cocktail bar was closed, and the delays with my food were just ridiculous. Perhaps this place is better suited...

I've been wanting to head to this spot for the longest time - so I decided to finally make it happen. I love vocation beers but I live in Northern Ireland and we can't get them anywhere on draught. I went on a Sunday and it was quiet. I tasted a number of beers and none of them disappointed. Thanks to Matt who was serving me and delivering excellent drink recommendations (he recommended a chocolate and mint stout and it was unreal!) Tom also served me once or twice and he was dead on. It's hard to walk in here and buy a bad beer, probably impossible actually because they're all amazing and the selection is impeccable. The food from slap and pickle was a good complement too. I will...

It's a food hall with 5 independent kitchens serving up a wide range of food suitable for all tastes and requirements. Added to that there must be at least 30 different beers to choose from. Atmosphere is good, loads of seating and you can order to your table or go to the individual food outlets.

Ate from the Korean, Italian and Indian outlets and they were all fantastic from the spicy honey chicken to the halloumi wrap.
