Our 21st August 2025 Secret Supper Club is entitled Portico Pride in celebration of Manchester Pride week 15th–25th August 2025. It boasts a tantalising new menu, inspired by books from our collection and home-cooking across the world and punchy flavours.

The Secret Supper Club hosts up to 12 guests per event. Singles, couples and groups are all welcome, but these events are unsuitable for children.

The Portico Kitchen is Manchester’s oldest lunch spot, and we are pleased to expand our offer into dinner service for a limited run of four evenings. Enjoy excellent food made with the very best seasonal produce, served on an intimate scale in the serenity of the Portico Library Reading Room.

Each evening, 12 diners will be served two full courses prepared inhouse by the kitchen that produces ‘one of Manchester’s nicest lunches’ (Manchester Evening News) and one small course featuring snacks, appetisers, confections, or desserts produced by the local companies that make Manchester one of the best places to eat in Britain.

Tickets go on sale one month before each event and are extremely limited, so move quickly when they are released!

Menus are at the chef’s discretion. We will accommodate dietary requirements wherever possible, but we cannot cater for preferences – we ask you to trust in us and our food. Please advise of any requirements at the time of your booking.

6.30pm arrival; food from 7pm; final course served 8.30pm.
