Lava Cafe Bar Description
This friendly, laid-back cafe bar is part of the warehouse that houses Key 103's operation at Castlefield Basin.
Breakfast, sandwiches, paninis, jackets, salads and a worldwide pizza menu are supplemented with the unique lava rock menu that gives this venue its name. Volcanic rock is heated in an oven for 6-8 hours and then brought to your table, then you cook the steak, chicken or fish and vegetables yourself.
It's certainly unique as far as Manchester is concerned and the only person to blame is yourself if the food's not done the way you want it!
Your Reviews of Lava Cafe Bar
Marc Lewis (24 December 2007)
This is just a small note to say how enjoyable I find eating at Lava. The atmosphere is always warm and cosy, the staff always friendly, and I always seem to end my evening sitting at the bar with people met during the evening, having a chat and a drink.
The wine is great and the food is always well presented and quickly delivered. The dishes served raw along with a hot volcanic rock plate are also well worthy of a note. The meat comes un-cooked along with uncooked fresh and crispy vegetables etc. You then get to sit and toss any combination of meat and vegetables onto the volcanic hot plate and cook as you go. It's fun, different and means every mouthful is as fresh as it gets. I like food with ceremony and this suits my style of eating down to a T.
All in all, a real homely place to eat and has free wi-fi. You could sit around all afternoon with a cup of coffee surrounded by friendly staff and customers whilst you work. I love it.
