HOME (yes, it is all stylised in capital letters) is primarily a cinema and art space. They show all sorts of films across world cinema. Some of the big blockbuster hits, and a lot of small independent films that aren't shown in many theatres. They hold many film festivals as well as some theatre shows and art exhibitions. These are all well worth checking out and are the main reasons I visit HOME. However, we're here to review their food which is also excellent! Before we go any further I must apologise for the photos in this review, the lighting wasn't that good so some photos come out really dark.
This year they have added new options to their menu. They previously had only offered vegan pizza, but now have several options to choose from. They still however do serve meat so don't expect a vegetarian kitchen. I usually get a pizza but this time I thought I would try new things on the menu. For starters I had cauliflower buffalo wings with vegan mayo & chive dip. These are really good. If you have not tried fried cauliflower, you need this in your life.
For a main I had the portobello mushroom and bhali burger which was also really good. Other new items include an Asian buddha bowl rice dish, vegan cheese toastie and soup. None of which I have tried but they all look really good. they do 2 different vegan pizzas, roast vegetable and artichoke & wild mushroom. Vegan cheese is however an extra £1. It's a good pizza though and does rank reasonably high out of the pizzas in Manchester. It is a step up from the pizza at Pizza Express or Zizzi in my opinion.
Overall I would recommend HOME as your cinema of choice and it's well worth having food while you're there if you want to make a full evening of your visit. HOME is located roughly between Oxford Road and Deansgate in the new First Street Estate which has a lot of restaurants and bars. It's a short walk from either Oxford Road and Deansgate train stations as well as Deansgate Castlefield tram stop. There are regular busses to City Centre, Trafford and South Manchester, but it's only about a 20 minute or so walk from Piccadilly Gardens. I would say however, unless you spend time drinking or dining in the Deansgate or Oxford Road areas it's not likely that you would find yourself naturally near to HOME it's probably best to plan your visit here in advance, or at least give yourself enough time to travel there. If you're going to eat before seeing a film I would suggest getting there a good 30 or 40 minutes before the film starts to eat.
