“Wish I had one day more in Manchester so I could dine here again! As odd as it sounds, you know the food’s going to be smashing when even the dumpster smells heavenly (I took the back alley). I got the Full English (grilled bacon, Trof sausage, hash brown, Heinz beans, fried egg, mushroom, slow-roasted tomato, sourdough) and didn’t regret it one bit because every item was phenomenal, though it’s worth upgrading to the Royal English (double of everything) if you think your stomach can handle it. Cozy vibes all-around and great place to people-watch from. One nitpick that must be pointed out is that it gets exceptionally busy on the weekends, I must’ve waited around 40min for my order to arrive.”
