About
We are unashamedly a family business. Albert is the uncle of the founder, Jim Ramsbottom, and led the conversion of Dukes 92 in the early 90’s from the original canal side stable block to the Manchester food and drink institution it is today. Albert used to store his tools in the shed where they stayed until the plans for Albert’s Shed were formed. He agreed to move out of the shed to make way for the restaurant on the condition that we named the restaurant after his beloved shed! We have no such excuse for this restaurant, but we couldn't’ think of a better name. So Albert lives on…and why not?

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We visited for a family/friends get together for a Christmas treat. Never visited before but had a recommendation so thought we'd try the £14.95 lunch menu. Well, what can I say! We were delighted at the standard, quality and presentation of the food. It was...delicious. My daughter is vegan and loved hers too! But it wasn't just the food. The place was so welcoming, beautifully decorated and the staff couldn't do enough for us. We'll definitely be going back. The full menu looks so delicious 😋 We will be recommending to everybody, what a find!More

Excellent meal at very short notice so late on a Wednesday evening. Shout out to Krysia who was great with our dietary needs and all round service.

My family and I came for our birthdays and we had Ellie look after us. She was so attentive for my sister who had a dairy allergy. We all had such a lovely evening so thanks Ellie!
