Visited Loch Fyne Didsbury Xmas Eve 24 December for a birthday celebration and the meal was absolutely terrible.
Restaurant was understaffed had to wait ages for drinks etc. Food was even worse. Ordered a £44 sea food platter "hot and cold", all of which was cold except for the under-cooked mussels.
The shellfish was tasteless and of the same consistency as rubber. It seemed some of the shell fish was thawed quickly as the shells were limp and the flesh soggy.
Prawns, langoustines and crayfish all had eggs on their underbelly and scallops where still frozen. For an establishment that 'specializes' in seafood I find this unacceptable. We did complain and received a free basic desert but after spending in excess of £140 on food and 1 bottle of wine this was simply not good enough and went home still starving as did not eat the egg laden shellfish.
It seems this establishment is just another low quality chain restaurant.

Went to Loch Fyne in Didsbury last week, was quite busy and had high hopes for the evening...
These were soon dashed however by the uncontrollable air conditioning which was blowing either hot or cold air out very strongly directly above us.
The starters weren't that great, mediocre soup and rather chewy squid. The lady next to me ordered mussels which must have been caught dead as they were all closed when she got them, this worried me slightly as that was what I ordered too. No need to worry though, mine were brought and they were all open - though sadly for me, they forgot to put any sauce on. The Manager came over to apologise, apparently the chef has just missed the pot out that my mussels were in when he was dishing them out..... my mistake, I thought that they mussels should have been COOKED in the sauce to absorb the flavour. All round the atmosphere was chaotic with sub standard service and food.
Beyond hideous.
