Flawd Wine

Wine is the heart of the operation, with a thoughtfully curated list focusing on low‑intervention bottles from small‑scale producers across Europe and beyond. Many of these are sourced from vineyards the team work with directly, giving the list a personal, ever‑evolving feel. The food offering is equally considered: a concise menu of seasonal small plates designed to complement the wines, drawing on wood‑fired cooking, fermentation and top‑quality British produce. Flawd is run by a collective of industry heavyweights, including Gareth Walker, known for his work with the Michelin‑starred Relae and Isko in Copenhagen, which shines through in the venue’s understated confidence and attention to detail.

Despite its impressive pedigree, Flawd keeps things refreshingly unfussy. Service is warm and knowledgeable rather than formal, encouraging guests to explore, ask questions and drink what they genuinely enjoy. Whether you’re a natural wine obsessive or just fancy a beautifully cooked dish and a great glass in a relaxed setting, Flawd is one of Manchester’s most thoughtful and quietly exciting places to eat and drink.
