News!!
Excited to announce a new member of the Porta family; Porta Didsbury! Opening November (🤞).
Been working on this one for a little while. It’s a great spot and a lovely old building on Lapwing Lane, West Didsbury, formerly occupied by Greens Restaurant.
There’s loads of great businesses in the area and a really positive, welcoming community.
We can’t wait to get going.
Thanks everyone for all your ongoing support. We look forward to seeing you there !!

Ben, Joe and all the Porta team!
