✱ The story so far

Burgers, booze
& big energy
in the NQ.

Almost Famous Manchester NQ is the OG — the loudest, juiciest burgers in the city, served from our home on Edge Street in the Northern Quarter. We've been a Manchester institution since 2012, when we put over-loaded burgers on the city's map.

After the brand's relaunch, we're back grilling and loading by popular demand. Expect heritage breed beef from Altham's Butchers, pillowy charred buns, melty cheese, signature sauces, and the kind of cocktails that make Thursday feel like Saturday.

What makes a Famous
burger Famous?

Every burger we build starts with the same obsession: a super juicy, drip-down-your-arms, no-nonsense burger. We don't dress it up, and we don't tone it down.

01

Five Generations
of Butchery

Altham's have been perfecting their craft since 1856. The brothers source whole cuts, then tear (not chop) them through their unique plate system — softer texture, juicier bite.

Breed, Maturity
& Flavour

Aberdeen Angus, Hereford and Shorthorn — heritage breeds chosen for depth of flavour, marbling and consistency. Hung the traditional way for around 14 days.

Pillowy
Charred Buns

Soft, squishy, lightly charred. Built to soak up cheese, sauce and meat juice without falling apart.
