About

Tender Cow is a bustling restaurant and wedding catering company in Manchester, England.

At Tender Cow our ethos is simple. Delicious food, built on our principles and offered in an informal feasting manner, designed and tailored to suit your occasion. We strive to help couples to create memories which will last a lifetime and keep their guests raving about their wedding for years to come!

We believe in food being at the centre of any event which is why our menus are designed around spectacular dishes that are destined to be shared. Think whole joints of meat, whole sides of fish, and abundant sharing salads and you start to get a better idea.

Our three restaurants are bustling and busy places and we aim to bring a slice of this atmosphere with us to every event which we cater for. Our staff are lovely, approachable and highly professional. You can rest assured that the smaller details will be taken care of, giving you the chance to relax and design your event exactly how you have always wanted it to be.

Cuisine

At Tender Cow we specialise in serving high-quality British Meat and are proud to work with some of the best quality suppliers in the country. Alongside the meat, we focus on serving abundant seasonal salads, excellent bread and cheeses. We are always willing to work with our couples to create something extra special so if there is something specific you have in mind please do not hesitate to ask.

Tastings

We would be delighted to organise tastings in any of our three sites (Altrincham, Picturedrome or Macclesfield) to suit you. We can then design a menu alongside you to help you create the wedding breakfast of your dreams.

Restaurant quality food that stands out from your average wedding caterer

As a food obsessed couple, me and my wife really wanted our wedding food to be reflective of everything we love about food, and stand out from your average wedding caterer. We hated the idea of a sad looking fillet steak, or grazing board, and spent hours researching suppliers that would be able to provide what we as a couple actually enjoyed eating. We knew of Tender Cow from their excellent restaurants around Manchester, and hoped that they’d entertain the idea of catering for a wedding. Jess and the team delivered in spades. Not only were they able to build a menu around fresh, seasonal and local produce, but they were consultative and helped create a menu that was different, exciting and delicious, from lamb belly and anchovy canapes, to the basque cheesecake, and the porchetta roll in the evening. It was restaurant quality food, that every guest was obsessed with. The best decision we made in planning the wedding was working with Tender Cow.

Big love for the Tender Cow team.
