Top 30 Best Casual dining out in Manchester

“Bought 2 sandwich platters for a family get together they went down very well great selection well presented will definitely order again thanks for brilliant service.”

“Found this fantastic pub whilst killing a couple of hours before rehearsal Tuesday early evenings. very friendly staff and punters and good beers.”

“A great place for a beer, no sports TV, no jukebox, no gaming machined. Best place in poynton to meet for a good beer and a chat.”

“Remind me of Loki in Birmingham, very similar idea. Knowledgeable staff with very reasonable price for snacks and wine! Beautiful place to just hang out with friends. Highly recommend!”

“Fabulous cinema. Not the cheapest but easily worth the little extra cost compared to others! Membership saves lots over the year too. Great selection of wine with real glasses and tasty authentic pizzas. Reclining seats and double 'love seats' too :-)”

“Great restaurant for a family meal! We decided to book a table for the night we arrived at a campsite close by since we knew we wouldn't want to cook after setting everything up. Food was excellent and perfect for sharing - me and my son had the hog Mac and cheese which was delicious , and the frickles were particularly awesome! Everything here seems to be generously sized and the desserts were amazing - definitely need to have frozen custard again!”

“Had a lovely afternoon tea, staff were helpful and friendly, would highly recommend x”

“warm friendly atmosphere very wide selection and plenty offers”

“Loved it. food great. service great had a lovely evening here”

“I went for the first time last night with my wife, we had been meaning to go for a while and were not disappointed. The manager chatted to use for a while and made us feel very welcome so thank you (sorry I didn’t catch your name). My wife had a couple of cocktails which she enjoyed very much and I sampled a German lager I had never heard of but it was spot on. The place is very well presented and perfect for those who want somewhere a bit extra for a drink, next time we will try the food as the menu looked great. Nice to see a great building being put back into a good use. EDIT: We have just been back and tried the food. As you can see I review the odd place here and there but this was up there in my top 5 meals ever bought. It was tremendous from start to finish, I eat until I could eat no more. Staff were brilliant once again and service was excellent. Thank you all so much.”

“UPDATE. This is definitely the best Indian in Darwen. Although not on the menu, they do do a cauliflower side and tonight I even took my own aubergine. The food is always delicious and plentiful and the service is top notch. Toilets not quite finished but getting there. I wish they would bring the bill with the Bailey's. PREVIOUS We went there last night, Wednesday, at 5.30 for a change from our usual Sunday venue. We were warmly welcomed and served drinks (two pints of Cobra). The heating was on. We ordered three poppadoms (which came with a far too big a pickle tray), 2 mains from their chefs recommended specials with a vegetable rice, a garlic and cheese naan and a portion of onion bahjis. It was absolutely delicious, faultless and plentiful. Giving The Akash a run for its money? Most certainly at £42.00 with complimentary Bailey's. The decor is lovely. Miminalistic muted greys with the colourful paintings as a beautiful contrast. Not too bright. The service was discreet and professional. Not overly friendly. Downside? The toilets reaĺly do need attention to finish the refurbishment. Thank you. We will return very soon. Looking forward to their Sunday buffet which they said, is coming soon.”

“Maybe the best shakes I’ve had! The atmosphere, quality and uniqueness of this place is unreal - highly recommend!”

“Spanish eggs really good, excellent coffee as well. Portions good and well priced, can’t complain. Service really attentive, kept checking in on us as well. Definitely worth a visit!”

“Ordered takeaway to collect. Was ready when I arrived to pick up. Tasty food and good portion sizes. Great price for a meal for two. Will definitely order again.”

“Gorgeous place the food the staff and the decor highly recommend the only negative was dj music too loud just tone it down slightly as could not hear ourselves. To be fair they did offer a conservatory table.”

We had five different meals and all were very good, we're looking forward to going back. Would definitely recommend. Well done and thank you.”

“Had the steak dinner which comes with a bottle of wine on certain nights. We went on a Thursday. The food was superb. Perfectly cooked steak. A good range of local beers available also.”

“Friendly staff and a nice traditional pub atmosphere (with a family oriented edge but still great for big kids like us too)”

“Had a Singapore chow mein and it's was really good. Not to spicy, full of taste with nice juicy meats and prawns. Would try other dishes next time I'm in the area.”

“Great food excellent service the the meal for 5 was Ace, we all enjoyed it so much that we wanted more we wont be going anywhere else this is the Place if you fancy a India. THE chef Musabirrr should get a Michellin star for his cooking style and culinary expertise..”

“Paulicarus tells me I have been here before but if so, I have no memory. Nice Tapas bar with upstairs kitchen and toilets. Paulicarus brought Mum for early Mothers Day treat. Loved every dish. A gooey centred tortilla. Crispy belly pork. Lovely beef stew. Calamari, peri peri, veg stew etc. Definitely come back. Lovel sherry to finish.”
