Lloyd and Platt has been a Chorlton institution since its inception in 1870.
Once known as The Lloyds, the place was an early example of a pub built for more than just pints. With tennis courts and a crown bowling green (still going strong today), it was one of the first pubs to offer proper purpose-built spectator sport facilities.
Fast forward to 2024, owners Jonny Booth and Rupert Hill joined forces with JW Lees to bring the pub back to life – and part of the community once more.
It now sits proudly alongside sister venues The Castle Hotel and Gullivers – continuing a tradition of great pubs with deep roots in Manchester’s history.
Yep, award-winning Tom de Terre are cooking up a storm in our kitchen. If you’re in the mood for a proper pie or belting Sunday roast, get booked in.
What don’t we have? As we’re part of JW Lees, we’ve got all their beers on tap - including the Boilerhouse range. Expect fresh, creative brews and regular collabs with beer companies like Cloudwater, Thornbridge, Salt, Seven Brothers and more.
Sure. Whether you’re a philosophy group debating the meaning of life, need to raise a glass at a wake or fancy throwing a birthday do, we’ve got space to hold up to 40 people and we’re used to all sorts. Just a heads up, we don’t accept 18th and 21st parties.
There’s always something going on at Lloyd and Platt. We have DJs spinning every Friday and Saturday, plus other events like vintage fairs, quizzes and art workshops.
We’ve also got Kamera Ballroom, our venue space upstairs, where we host everything from live music and spoken word to comedy gigs and corporate events.
