“A gem of a shop in Mossley, a proper Aladdin's cave, nothing is ever to much trouble, staff always willing to answer questions about the products they sell, offer good recommendations. Always a warm welcome x”

“Well positioned shop, with ample space for the full Rapha range. Usually have good stock of most items and staff are very helpful and friendly. The cafe is also a gem, serving great coffee and a selection of cakes, sandwiches etc. Little pricey, but it is rapha after all! There is usually some cycling on the big screens, and a nice atmosphere. The window bar seats are a great place to people watch over King Street.”

“Great little store with loads to choose from including many lesser known brands. On the expensive side but ideal for quick trips out for odds and ends. Has a large refrigerated section stocking beers and wines and a couple of freezers.”

“The lowry theatre is amazing! The shows they put on are perfect and the venue itself is kid friendly and let's the 'older' ones enjoy a delightful night out! They put on musicals, performances, and even art galleries. My favourite shoes that I've recently watched are Six, Blood Brothers and Clue!”

“Read an article in the Telegraph in which the writer raved about a Polish cheese called Oscypek. Being a cheese lover, I called at Krakow and asked if they had this cheese. Yes, they did and if you like a smoked, salty, sheeps milk cheese, this is one you will love. The staff are great too.”

“Very nice experience even during busy times. Very helpful and nice staff.”

“This place offers THE BEST beef steaks I've had! The decor and ambience just puts you in the right mood for a grand feast.”

“We really love this pub and pizza place. The beers are expertly kept and the staff are very friendly. We had a couple of pizzas when we were there last and they were exactly what we wanted and needed. Good atmosphere, great bee, tasty food. What more do you need?”

“Great little store when you need to nip in and grab a few bits. Even better that they are dog friendly! Perfect!”

“I needed to return a parcel which hadn't done before (Hermes) Helpful young man behind the counter and very friendly.”

“Very good variety same goes with quality and price. 5 star hygiene rating aswell very few in Oldham Shows staff actually care.”

“Great hotel. Reasonable price. Room was very nice and clean !! The bed was very comfy. Had a very good night sleep. The only downfall was breakfast. The queue was big and took a while to sit down. Also during breakfast the kids from other families kept filling up their plates to the full which meant we had to wait a while to get any bread and Cereal. Also they had no soy milk !! Reason for the 5 star is that this is the first premier inn I have stayed in which has not been a nightmare to stay in. Would stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone as the rooms themselves compensate”

“Cracking food and a tasty authentic masala chai served in a lovely hand painted tea pot from India. We were given a very warm welcome and were also treated to a free mango lassi that would otherwise have gone to waste. Oh, and the decor is fantastic too. Highly recommended!”

“After having a very very cold bus trip for 4h this restaurant was our salvation. From the outside one does not know what to expect, but once the door was opened we really got surprised. The warm and nice atmosphere inside made us enjoy the delicious lunch even more. The Spätzle tasted truly authentic, but at the same time had a touch of originality. We strongly recommend the Spätzle “Guanciale” (sadly not on the photos), which are a beautiful mix of different countries traditional plates. All in all this restaurant is something different and offers a nice variation of very interesting dishes and drinks. We strongly recommend it :)”

“On a fleeting visit to Warrington I came across this cafe. I had a fantastic meal, the owners were extremely friendly and helpful when selecting what to eat. The food is clearly very fresh and in many cases home made. Everything was delicious. I could not recommend more.”

“It was my first visit to Door 34. Inside downstairs is quite compact, and was full when I visited last week. But there are a couple of rooms upstairs, and that is where I went. I ordered when I went in, a Cappuccino and Banana cake. As I said they were quite busy, and my order took around 25 minutes to arrive, but worth waiting for. The large Cappuccino was one of the best I have had, and the cake very nice. Staff were friendly and I enjoyed the experience in nice clean surroundings. I will definitely go again.”

“In my role as a community support worker I look after adults with various learning disabilitie s I tried Mee Thyme. It was an excellent place. Owner Debbie was lovely and we have been back several times each time she is polite, always a smile on her face and goes that extra mile with the guys I have with me. The food is varied and tasty and all the staff do a great job with their warmth & kindness.”

“It wasn't planned but we decided to try this Cafe which is in the area Chorlton, Manchester. My wife actually wanted to try some new dish in Vegetables. She ordered "Baba Ganouch Vegetables" (Potatoes, salad, roasted aubergine and humus with Pitta bread) and I ordered "Chicken Shawarma Wrap "with roasted vegetables and fried on the side with chilly sauce. Both items were cooked in front of me and were fresh. We really enjoyed our meal. It's a nice small cafe with good food. At least try it once. I will go again... I am gonna share some pictures which I took at the café of our own orders”

“Great selection of coffee beans, beverages and drinks available. My partner loves the coffee beans to buy and thoroughly enjoys the notes, especially from the Africa region. Probably one of the best mocha I've had ever from here, although I do recommend hot chocolate and the other coffee based drinks!”

“An almost weekly visit from me for the best coffee and wrap in bramhall! Great chilled atmosphere and the menu isn't usual boring! Coffee is very good!”
