Atmospheric dining in Stockport

“Grounded in the North went down a storm at PlannerFest. There was lots of praise for the quality of the brews and cake! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.”

“Very crispy fish (an absolute must for me!), good portions and fairly priced. The fish was the star of the meal but chips also good. As many have already mentioned, the staff are very pleasant and friendly”

“We've tried Lucky's in Oldham, so we wanted to try the one in Stockport. The place is very aesthetically pleasing. There are a few tables upstairs and more downstairs if the place is packed. The menu was extensive with a lot of variety. I got the Route 66 Burger and a Mango mojito. The food tasted nice and it was presented well. Would definitely go again to try the other things on the menu.”

“Great place to share lovely food and fantastic service. Choose from a large selection on the "set menu", something for everyone. Second time there but it is quickly becoming our go-to curry house. Thank you.”

“I absolutely love this place ❤️ breakfast is amazing coffee is great I really live the regular breakfast cooked to perfection every time a must go for brunch or breakfast.”

“Wish ide take a picture but was to keen to eat! I'm vegan and had the vegetable skewer starter and then the aubergine curry, it all tasted so fresh and healthy. The husband really enjoyed his chicken saag to, he said it was full of flavor. Great prices with the discount to, good proper authentic food. Food hot when arrived and delivered by a lovley gentleman. 100% recommend.”

“Been here twice. Both times really enjoyed it. Cosy and friendly The service was fantastic the food and atmosphere was great with the chill out music. I had afternoon tea the first time which was lovely and the vegan wrap and home made soup second time. Really good value for money and very tasty. Little gem in Gee Cross.will be going again soon”

“The smash burgers were excellent and was delivered fresh. Would highly recommend this place.”

“Great Cafe, with great food. Really friendly staff and a quick service!!”

“Hired here for my grandsons 21st,they were excellent, couldn't thank them enough.Staff were really friendly and very helpful and efficient. Thank you.”

“Amazing food, so much thought, work and care had gone into each course. The flavours were amazing and they clearly use only the best produce. Dietary requirements were catered for without any bother. One of the best meals I have ever had! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff! I honestly couldn't fault this restaurant , lovely ambience. I definitely recommend this place. Just go, you will not be disappointed! I can't wait to return!”

“All the food was lovely will be a regular customer. Thank you”

“This cafe is well talked about and very popular with the locals. It's a hidden gem of Stockport. If you like a Sunday afternoon tea this is the place. Lots of little cakes and good quality tea, the thing to have is the teared plates. But will set you back 15 per person. But well worth it. Little sandwiches. Nice. It's all art deco... so it makes you feel like you should dress up to visit!! Service is quite posh here. Love the 1930 feel.”

“Delicious meal (and catering for me, super fussy vegan, was no problem at all), excellent service and a really well organised dining area with tables spaced out without losing the lovely atmosphere.”

“Enjoy some Indian and Persian food at Ivory IndoPersian Hidden away on the edge of Stockport, Ivory IndoPersian provides a mixture of Indian and Persian food. Each type of cuisine has its own chef, so make sure you order off the menu that you prefer - don’t expect your asian spices on the Persian dishes. It was really busy when we visited, and at full capacity it may feel a little cramped. Don’t let that deter you from trying it out though. The Indian dishes were; \Pani Puri [£3.50] - This was spicy and yummy, with mashed potatoes inside. The tamarind sauce was really tasty \Ivory Indian Special [For 2 £30.00] - Big, juicy, crunchy prawns just the way we like it and with a proper tandoori taste. The meaty lamb chops were done exactly how you want it \Achari [£12.90] - This was such a good recommendation from one of the owners. Sweet yet spicy and filled with a mixture of spices - such a good lamb curry The Persian dishes were; \Mix Mezze [£7.50] - Included the cucumber yoghurt, a mixed salad, hummus and yoghurt. The cucumber yoghurt was refreshing, the yoghurt tasted like plain, greek yoghurt - think it was meant to be garlic and shallots but this didn’t come through. The indian naan bread that came with it was nice, but a Persian flatter bread would have been better \Ivory Persian Special [For 2 £37.00] - Same as the indian special, the lamb chops were pure meat! The chicken was juicy, the flat kebab a little dry and the other kobedas cooked nicely \Zereshk Polow & Chicken [£12.90] - A sweet taste, quite like rose and saffron providing that unusuality. A simple, unique dish that was really nice The sweetness for the end consisted of the list below. We were so full by this point that they gave us little tasters so we could see what they were like; \Gulab Jamun [£5] - Pure yum but imagine with a bit of ice cream, this would have been heavenly. The cardamom wasn’t overpowering at all, which was nice L\emon Cheesecake [£5.60] - A tangy, refreshing hit \Baklava [£7] - Pure sweet, syrupy baklava We’ll be back to try some more of the Persian goodies Recommended for: Curries, Indian, Persian Service: High Price: ££ Halal: Full Menu”

“This is the first time I have used this cafe and I will definitely be returning. I had the big vegetarian breakfast and it was cooked to perfection, there's nothing that I could fault. The lady that served me was very pleasant and friendly. Highly recommend”

“Absolutely fantastic pizza and calzone - if you like a more authentic wood fired style pizza then this place is best for you.. The Customer service was so Good. Very professional staff.. Highly recommended FIREAWAY STOCKPORT”

“I luv this place respect the staff and they respect me recommend jo as the 1 nicest managers all staff a fab berry clean pub atmosphere is amazing xxx”

“Fantastic food, this is my new go to place for Chinese food. The lunch time specials are great too, I highly recommend the Super Charger Chicken burger. the share box is amazing, it fed us as a family of 4 no problems. You won't be disappointed believe me. :-)”

“Load of us stayed her for a few nights for a family wedding and we had the best time ever. The staff are amazing, went above and beyond for our help and needs. the rooms are fresh and clean. Vending machine, extra tea and coffee etc, clean bedding and towels all at reception in case you need more. Pity the old rectory didn’t have the same standards.”

“Really well stocked, massive selection of home furnishings and household goods. Nice little Iceland section too. I paid for parking and I think it's free after 5pm so check first!”

“We were very satisfied with Zizzi. Everything was very tasty, fresh and super quick. We did not wait long to get our order on our table. Staff were polite and willing to help you. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very good, it is very well decorated and you can actually see the kitchen and the pizza oven! It is a bit pricey for the portions you get but you get compensated by the quality of the food. Definitely worth it.”

“Very cheap and meat didn’t smell funny unlike other cheap takeaways friendly environment good food”

“Delicious pizza. Best in the area. I've tried a few different toppings and they're all gorgeous. 100% recommend and I'll be going again. They do pasta dishes as well if you're up for that. I imagine they're equally as nice.”

“First time I’ve tried this place, I had a Mexican burger with jalapeño on. The burger was thick and so good! Normally some takeaways there burgers look like road kill about 3mm thick. This was the opposite! Well impressed! The chips was great too! Would recommend this place!”

“Yummy desserts! Myself and partner visited on a Sunday at around 6:30pm and found ourselves a table and got to pondering what to order straight away on their very varied menu. I landed on the vegan mango & coconut waffle and my girlfriend chose the nutty banoffee waffle. You go up to the counter to order, with my mango & coconut waffle, I preferred coconut gelato rather than the mango sorbet which comes with that particular waffle. I asked if I could swap the sorbet for the gelato and the girl on the till did so without problem and to no extra cost. She also notified me that the coconut gelato isn't vegan which wasn't a problem to me as I'm not vegan, it just so happened that I liked the sound of the toppings on a vegan waffle. I thought that her telling me that this swap would no longer make the dish vegan was good attention to detail and good looking out for the customer. The wait in between ordering and receiving our waffles wasn't too long at all, I'd hazard a guess at around the 10 minutes mark, which we had no problems with, we were in no rush. The waffles - absolutely amazing, presentation was great, we were both very happy when we saw them arrive. the coconut gelato on my waffle was perfect, I'm a sucker for anything coconut and it was so good. Mango sauce was great too, the waffle itself was very nice, light, fresh and warm. My girlfriend's nutty banoffee waffle looked great too, a very healthy scattering of sliced banana all over the waffle with an equally healthy drizzling of chocolate sauce and toffee sauce. One thing we found which may be of some use to others who plan to buy a waffle from here is that the vegan waffles are about half as thick as the normal waffles. I managed to each all of my waffle and my other half struggled with her last third or so, upon giving hers a taste I could definitely taste the difference. So if you want a lighter than usual waffle I'd recommend the vegan waffle, just as nice as a normal waffle but about half as thick, gives you a greater chance of enjoying more of it before getting full :) It's a shame there seems to be a lot of reviews that aren't quite as positive as mine and I'd hate to think we just 'got lucky' and dodged their usual dodgy service and food but we really dined here without complaint and would quite happily do so again. I'd recommend Creams Stockport to anyone in search of a nice dessert place in Stockport :) *NOTE* When we visited on the 15th August, the opening times on google stated 11am-11pm Mon-Sun, yet on the window of the store itself the opening times were 1pm-10:30pm Mon-Sun. I suggested an edit to the opening times on Google to no success as of 25th August so have attached the opening times sheet that was on display on 15th August 2021, hope this helps.”

“Had takeaway a couple of times from here and it's been delicious both times! Prawn and mango salad and massaman curry especially good. They package things really well for delivery (cold salads separate from hot food) etc which is thoughtful.”

“After not been for over a year (bad experience) thought would give it another try. What a difference so glad I gave it another go (seems new owners/management). Shop was clean and tidy staff nice and friendly and food was good quality. Meal deals worth the money and great value for money will definitely be going again now its improved.”

“I've been ordering from here every other week for years. Food is good, staff are friendly.”

“The choice of food is excellent, service is 5 Star from start to finish,”
