There’s an old saying that suggests you never see a thin butcher. That's an unfair stereotype to some of the hardest grafters in the food industry.
It’s also untrue, as Will Henderson proves. The Scotsman owns The Butcher’s Quarter on Tib Street in the city centre.

Where’s your favourite hidden gem?
Corbiere’s is one of mine.
What’s your favourite view of the city or in the city?

Where’s best to go for your dinner in town?
I quite enjoy steak, so Hawksmoor. Pizza would be Rudy’s. For general stuff, Trof is very good. They’d be my three picks.
Where would you take someone to show them the real Manchester?
Whiskey Jar.
What are the five words that best describe the city?
Open, welcoming, friendly, funny, and exciting.
City or United?
I’m not gonna answer that one!
Your favourite city pub is…?
I would have said Edinburgh Castle, but it’s between that or Port Street Beerhouse.
Liam or Noel?
Liam.
Who is your favourite city ‘character’?
We have an old chap called Peter who comes in every day. He’s a character. I’d say Sue, too, around here.
What’s the one thing you’d add to Manchester if you could…
I’d
