Manchester · Authentic Chinese hotpot
A table built around hand-cut beef, house-made broth and the simple pleasure of cooking together.
Our craft
Chao Niu 潮牛宴 brings the ritual of authentic Chinese hotpot to the heart of Manchester. Fresh beef is hand-cut for tenderness, then cooked at your table in aromatic broth — just long enough to bring every cut to life.
The pot is the centrepiece. The people around it make the meal.
Fresh beef, carefully cut
House-made aromatic broth
Made for sharing
