MENU
Caribbean roots. Manchester energy.
Our kitchen is built on tradition. Slow-cooked curry goat, fire-grilled jerk chicken, ackee & saltfish done properly. Real seasoning. Real depth. Cooked with time and intention.
Alongside the food, our cocktails bring their own presence.
Rum-forward blends, fresh citrus, subtle spice and smooth finishes, crafted to complement every plate and every mood.
This is more than a menu.
It’s heritage, hospitality and atmosphere in one space.
Pull Up, take your seat, and stay awhile.

PULL UP JOURNAL
who we are
Built on over 25 years of community work by Aunty Sharon and family, we’ve evolved from Koolrunnings and The Drop into something bigger than a restaurant.
Pull Up is where food, fashion, poetry, music and conversation meet.
In dancehall, a “pull up” is the moment the track reloads and the crowd lifts together. That energy lives here. From spoken word nights to women-led events, from live music to limited merch drops, we create space for expression, connection and elevation.
Community has always been at the heart of what we do. Whenever possible we support people experiencing homelessness by donating food and clothing, and we continue to stand behind mental health initiatives that encourage openness, support and real conversation.
We don’t just serve plates.
We platform voices.
We host culture.
We build community.
Urban flavour. Creative energy. Real people.
Built by the streets. Powered by community.
This is Pull Up.
*****
"The poetry night at Pull Up is something special. The atmosphere is intimate but electric, and the energy in the room is unreal. The hosting is smooth, welcoming and full of heart. It’s the kind of space where creatives genuinely connect, support each other and leave inspired."
*****
"The menopause event at Pull Up was beautifully done. The atmosphere felt safe, open and genuinely supportive. The conversations were honest, the hosting was thoughtful, and you could feel the strength in the room. It wasn’t just an event, it was a space for women to connect, learn and uplift each other."

"Came to Pull Up bar on Thursday with family for my daughter's birthday. The food was amazing and the owner Sharon is lovely. It's not often you meet the owner of a restaurant and give them a hug when you are leaving and thank them for making us feel so welcome. We'll definitely be returning again soon."

"Fantastic food, drinks and atmosphere! So glad we found this gem of a place. Had the jerk chicken, lamb chops and the hench box and side of plantain - almost too much food between 4 people, the portion sizes are great! and the rum punch....definitely would return next time in Manchester. And a special shout out to the lady who runs the place who very generously gave me some plantains when I said I couldn't get in where I live in the UK....you're too kind!"
