Pip is one of Manchester’s most exciting modern British restaurants, tucked into the ground floor of the Treehouse Hotel and led by acclaimed local chef Mary‑Ellen McTague, whose inventive, low‑waste approach brings a fresh sense of curiosity to every plate. Expect vibrant, seasonal dishes created with North West produce, from refined takes on classics like Lancashire hot pot to elegantly crafted puddings that celebrate the region’s best ingredients. The restaurant’s warm, playful atmosphere feels perfectly in tune with its home inside Treehouse Manchester, where repurposed materials and pops of colour set the tone for relaxed, feel‑good dining.
Since opening, Pip has quickly become a standout on the city’s dining scene. It earned a coveted place in the Michelin Guide soon after launch, praised for its innovative, conscientious cooking and pride in local produce. National critics have taken notice too, with The Telegraph calling Pip charming, refined and fabulous, highlighting dishes such as its wild garlic soup and “fabulously good” Lancashire hot pot. That mix of creativity, sustainability and heartfelt Northern hospitality makes Pip feel like the kind of spot where every visit offers a little something special - whether you’re settling in for brunch, indulging in a tasting menu or making a Sunday roast into an occasion.
