Skof has a step-free entrance and wheelchair accessible toilets. We are also able to print our menus in larger fonts. Please get in touch with us if you have any queries about accessibility.

We are very good at catering for most health or allergy-related dietary requirements; all we require is advance notice. Please inform us of any dietary requests when making your reservation, so we can prepare everything for your arrival. It may not be possible to accommodate requests made on the day.

For lunch and dinner, we offer two menus that showcase Tom’s cooking: a 12-course menu for £120, and a 15-course menu for £165.

At lunchtime, a quicker four-course lunch menu option is also available for £50 (Thursday to Saturday).

We also offer wine, mixed drinks and alcohol free pairings for our guests to choose from. 

Sample menus can be viewed here. Please note that prices and ingredients are subject to change. 

At the time of booking, we will request a prepayment of £50 for lunch or £120 for dinner, which will be redeemed against the total of your final bill. If joining us for lunch, you may still opt for our short or long tasting menu, and at dinner, choose our long tasting menu.

A discretionary service charge of 12.5% will be added to your total bill, inclusive of the prepayment.

Cancelling your reservation less than 72 hours before your visit will result in the loss of your prepayment. Our reservations team will attempt to re-sell your table to another party, and if successful, a full refund will be issued.

Since opening in May 2024, Skof has earned a Michelin star in February 2025, was named Best New Restaurant at the Good Food Guide Awards 2025, won Newcomer of the Year at the Manchester Food and Drink Awards — where Tom Barnes was also awarded Chef of the Year — and secured a high ranking in SquareMeal’s Top 100 for 2025, entering as the highest new entry at number 8. ​

We've sold out our allocation of vouchers for the year! Sign up to our newsletter to be the first to hear when we relaunch them.

We welcome children over the age of six at lunchtime and over the age of 12 for dinner. We offer our usual menus at both lunch and dinner, as unfortunately, we do not have a children’s menu available.

There is no dress code at Skof. We welcome everyone as they are.

We are unable to accommodate dogs in our restaurant.
