Seven Bro7hers Middlewood Locks

Seven Bro7hers at the Middlewood Locks development is the ideal place for some al fresco eating and drinking by the canal, it’s scenic in a gentrified industrial waterside way. The inside is done out well too – handsome and high-ceilinged but with board games and a cosiness that bely the concrete and brick finish. It’s the perfect distance from town too as it’s short enough to be a pleasant stroll (about 7 minutes from Chapel Street) but far enough that you feel like you deserve a pint and a burger when you get there.

Pints first because Seven Bro7hers in Salford is primarily about the beer. They brew the beer themselves and you’ll find it all on the pumps here from their IPA to their session craft beer as well as some rival brews from locals like First Chop and ABC.

The food is good solid stuff, perfect with a drink. There’s an easy-eating American slant with burgers, kebab flatbreads and nachos taking up most of the menu plus vegan versions of the above.

So pull on your boots and get walking, there’s a beer and a bab waiting for you.
