Proost — Restaurant in Urmston

Proost is a restaurant on Crofts Bank Road in Manchester, just outside Urmston. It has an industrial-style interior with exposed brick walls and wooden beams, and draws a local crowd for its wood-fired pizzas. The venue opens at noon Thursday to Saturday and Sunday, and it’s worth booking ahead because of the high queue likelihood. Locals come here for dinner or late-night drinks on weekends, especially in the evening when it gets busy.

Proost has a warm lighting scheme that pairs with its rustic decor, exposed brick walls, wooden beams, and industrial vibes. The atmosphere is lively but not overwhelming despite being packed at lunchtime and during peak evenings. This setup suits social dining or date nights rather than quiet afternoons. High crowd density means space fills quickly, so reservations are required.

Try the wood-fired pizza oven, its signature feature, and pair it with one of over 20 craft beers on tap. The innovative burger menu uses local ingredients and works well for groups. Evenings are best here; booking ahead is essential due to consistent demand.
