The beer is very overpriced. The Black sheep was off, exchanged without fuss by polite barman. The greeter, (landlord?) was not at all welcoming. We did not eat.
Rams Head Inn – SaddleworthI must say I was impressed with my meal at the Grill on the Alley, I had the fillet steak and my partner went for the tuna and neither of us could find fault. I have been here a couple of times now and every time has been a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Well worth a trip.
The Grill On the Alley – Manchester City CentreI recently had lunch here on a Friday with friends and what a lunch it was. The staff were very welcoming and attentive without being in your face and the food was on the mark. I had the steak and onion baguette with thick triple cooked chips. The steak was very tender and the chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Just how I like them. The location next to the Bridgewater canal is perfect and I can definitely see this place busy in the summer as well as cosy with great views in the winter. will be going back, it was my mate who suggested the place and by the end we all agreed that we would definitely be going back for Jacks birthday next month.
Cromptons @ The Waterside – Ecclesi absolutely love this restaurant everytime i go they flow me away with the exceptional food they have to offer. i have recommended this restaurant to my family and friends and i cant wait to i dine her again
Cromptons @ The Waterside – Ecclesi have recently been to this restaurant and i can say that it has to best food around. they have a great selection on food and wine that would make your mouth water. jo,paul and all the staff are amazing, they all made me feel really welcome.i will definitely be dining at the waterside again.
Cromptons @ The Waterside – Ecclesi have been to the waterside many times and everytime they never fail to impress me with the excellent menu and friendly staff i would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone and as it says on the menu its definitely the place to be
Cromptons @ The Waterside – EcclesWe've been 4 or 5 times now. The first few times the food was amazing, the price was great for the size of the portions. However, the very last time we went (end of January) the service was poor, even though it was not busy, the food portions had shrunk and only the cold tap worked in the toilets.
The Orange Tree Tapas – AudenshawWent on a Saturday night using a Groupon voucher. Food was good but we felt like second class citizens ! We were clearly identified as "Groupons" and service was ok but no warmth or friendliness. They obviously have a special menu for Groupon bookings and when we asked about the "specials" we were told we couldn;t have any !. Missed opportunity to upsell since we would happily have paid a supplement for something we really wanted. Nothing wrong with the night - just nothing special either.
Stock Restaurant – Manchester City CentreTook my parents and inlaws out for a birthday celebration on a Saturday night. Even before knowing that we were celebrating a special occasion the staff made us feel like a million dollars. All the food was beautiful - I particularly recommend the monkfish provencal and the veal romana. And then to top it all, it transpires that the owners wife is a member of an acapella choir - the Cheshire Chord Company (www.cheshirechord.co.uk if you are interested - I looked them up afterwards!) and when were having a private party downstairs. When they found out that my mother was celebrating her birthday they came upstairs to give an impromptu rendition of Happy Birthday, and then their version of Rihanna's "Umbrella". The rest of the guests in the restaurant were just as enthralled as us by the amazing sound and clearly thrilled to have a mini concert feature as part of their meal experience. I am sure this wouldn't happen every night, but it was indicative of just how much this restaurant is determined to make every effort to ensure its customers feel special.
Farina – AltrinchamAmazing. Have been 3 times now and have loved every visit. Completely recommend it for something different within a reasonable budget!
Aladdin – DidsburyFantastic new large restaurant in the center of Wigan. Beautiful decor and an extensive menu. The quality of food matched the brilliant service. I'll definitely be going back soon and highly recommend the place.
Simply Thai – WiganBout 16 of us went for lunch on Friday. 2 tables. We were seated no problem but as we were 3 groups of 2 Chinese couples came in after us. They were all served and food in front of them before our waitress came back to take our food and drink orders....That said, when it did all arrive the 2 starters and mains all round were gorgeous...Well worth the 9 pound per head, however our friends on the other table had a weird old time. The waitress kept bring out some kind of bread nobody ordered. (3 times out and asking and being forceful saying someone ordered it) On checking at the end their bill was 45 quid over what it should have been so they obviously mentioned it....Not happy staff. Went into kitchen and stayed there ???? In the end my friends decided to pat exactly what they owed and walked out. The staff popped back in and just stared at them...How rude....So all in all, half of us would go back but the other half would certainly not....Bizarre....and a shame coz the food was lovely
Red Chilli – Manchester City CentreWent last night for a mid week treat as we had seen it as it was being built and thought it looked quite nice. It was absolutely lovely - the food was extremely flavoursome and the menu has a huge choice of different curries and flavours that you wouldn't see in bog standard, including dishes with sea bass,m monkfish, salmon, pheasant and venison! Spoilt for choice. The flavours were lovely, even the raita that came with the poppadoms hd a unique flavour and the marinated meat was tender, melt in the mouth! We all had different main dishes, which all had individual styles, flavours and appearances. The staff were very friendly and attentive, offered us a complimentary drink at the end and also gave the two ladies a rose each! All in all, a lovely setting with exceptional food. By far one of best curries we have had in a long time. Would recommend without a doubt, and hope that they make a success of it - so everyone get down there!
Double Tree Indian Restaurant – AltrinchamThis was one of the worst dining experiences we have had EVER. Yes, the restaurant looks lovely and a really mouthwatering menu but all of that means nothing if the service is slow and surly. Our pizza's took almost 45 mins to arrive (the restaurant was almost empty). When they did arrive the pizzas were undercooked and mediocre. A couple of our party opted for the non dairy cheese on their pizzas and while I admire a pizza establishment who can offer a non dairy alternative - the 'cheese' was inedible and had an odd bodily odour. Our waiter was mono-syllabic and hid from us when we tried to get his attention - I finally had to go to him in order to find out if our pizzas were coming or not. Did we catch Dough on a bad day? perhaps, though walking back to the car we realised how empty it was compared to other eateries in the area - obviously the locals knew something we didn't.
Dough Pizza Kitchen – Northern QuarterHi - I was on a weekend break in Manchester & we dined in Mr Toms on Saturday evening about 6:30. The young lady serving us - the shorter of the two on the floor (an attractive young lady with glasses who also seems to have had charge of seating) was exceptionally good. She made the entire evening a huge pleasure. Whoever hired her deserves a bonus! Eoin
Mr Thomas’s Chop House – Manchester City CentreWe make a point of visiting the Old Wellington for lunch (usually one of their glorious pies) whenever we spend the day in Manchester. The food is lovely, good British comfort food for the most part, they have a good choice of real ale which keeps my partner happy and the staff are great. get a seat on the top floor if possible - right under the open beamed ceiling with views to the cathedral through the leaded windows - perfect!
The Old Wellington – Manchester City Centrei would recommend this to every1 it is so delicious and fresh very pleased with what i get everytime i order i will be recommending it to many of my friends always satisfied with what i get very pleased with customer service i get aswell lovely staff
