Take flight to the birdcage

The birdcage bar and restaurant is a different kind of dining experience in a different kind of place – part historic building, part cutting-edge architecture, all good food, drinks and relaxed atmosphere.

Situated at the heart of a lovingly-restored Victorian cotton mill and fishing net factory, the birdcage is housed in the converted former mill owners office, which stands in the middle of its own stone-flagged courtyard, complete with a central, runway-like water feature and surrounding buildings that are floodlit at night to dramatic effect.

The birdcage has a relaxed bar area where you can have a beer, a coffee, a snack or a cocktail. There's also a contemporary glass-walled dining room that forms the centrepiece of the old mill complex. The dining room serves modern bistro food that changes with the seasons and offers excellent value for money.
