Harcourt

Hong Kong has some of the best nightlife in Asia, as well as a thriving pub culture. The Harcourt looks to transport the atmosphere, attitude and entertainment found in the island city’s liveliest watering holes to the southernmost town in Greater Manchester. Once there, customers will find an extensive selection of craft beers from breweries based in the region and beyond, alongside an impressive food menu inspired by one of the most unique regional cuisines in China. 

House beers like Piccadilly Pilsner and Happy are sourced from the acclaimed Manchester-based brewery Cloudwater. Meanwhile, the rest of the taps are ever-changing, and often feature rare and limited-edition brews that rotate as soon as a keg runs dry. But things don’t end there. One of the Harcourt team’s main missions is promoting the unique and vibrant food culture of Hong Kong to Manchester and North West England, with dishes designed to complement all those beers. That means authentic recipes imported from the Far East, whether that’s hearty mains or tantalising street food, with some of HK’s most defining flavours used in fresh ways, allowing customers to explore the vast potential of this tantalising cuisine.

One of the most famous offerings on the menu is the signature Hong Kong style rice gratin series. Each portion is freshly baked, and comes with a variety of sauces and carefully marinated toppings. With three distinctive types to choose from, these elevated rice gratins are a unique twist on the popular classic which you won’t find anywhere else. Behind that, the smaller snack and bite sized options have been specially curated to showcase just how talented the kitchen crew are. The Typhoon shelter series, for example, is infused with rich, complex spices — crispy garlic, chilli and more — matching the drinks selection perfectly. And another standout is the Hong Kong style french toast, which pairs perfectly with darker beers.
