This friendly, laid-back cafe bar is part of the warehouse that houses Key 103's operation at Castlefield Basin. Surrounded by the old warehouse and canal structure of central Manchester, the bar has a friendly environment for all diners. Described as a hidden gem, Lava has a diverse clientele and welcomes all local residents and visitors to this wonderful part of the city.

A spicy piri piri chicken wrap and tuna and sweet corn jacket potato might take your fancy before you begin a tour of the surrounding area. The kitchen prepares all the burgers using Aberdeen Angus beef and favourites among the locals include New York style and black and blue. Tapas offerings include pork meatballs mixed with herbs and spices in tomato sauce and deep fried calamari served with lemon mayonnaise. A wide range of beer and wines are available to complement your meal.
