About Whole Venue
80 Banquet
90 Standing / Reception
Our Victorian pub takes over Thomas Street for your exclusive celebration, giving you complete run of The Bay Horse Tavern from the moment your guests arrive. With capacity for 90 standing guests or 80 seated, you'll have both our main bar area and the more intimate dining spaces to play with, creating different zones throughout your event. The original parquet flooring and intricate ceiling details tell the story of our building's heritage, while the tufted window seating and rich wood furnishings keep everyone comfortable as the evening unfolds. We've arranged the space with a mix of high tables perfect for mingling and proper dining setups where groups can settle in for longer conversations. Natural light pours through our front windows during afternoon gatherings, shifting to warm ambient lighting as evening approaches. Behind our bar, you'll spot our famous gin collection, over 50 varieties that become talking points in themselves. Our rotating craft beer taps feature Manchester breweries alongside discoveries from further afield, and we'll work with you to create a drinks selection that suits your crowd. The kitchen stays busy throughout your event, sending out everything from our caramelized onion tart with goat's cheese to proper beer-battered haddock with triple-cooked chips. Sunday events often feature our roast dinner, complete with Yorkshire puddings made fresh that morning. The flexible layout means we can adapt furniture arrangements to match your plans, whether that's creating a dance floor area, setting up for a buffet service, or keeping things formal with seated dining throughout. Your guests will find us easily, just a short walk from both Shudehill and Piccadilly Gardens tram stops in the heart of the Northern Quarter. Four-legged friends are welcome too, with water bowls at the ready.
