Food shopping tips in Manchester

“Bought a gorgeous bottle of gin from these guys last week! And oh my, we had a lil social distanced tasting and the shops well set up and safe, plus the guys were so friendly!”

“After living in Manchester for 6 months I figured I’d find out more about this city. My girlfriend and I did the free walking tour hosted by Josh. He was very passionate about this city and told many interesting stories and helped us discover some hidden gems.”

“Brilliant local shop and had everything that was needed, would highly recommend!! Lovely owner too, support your local business!!”

“Amazing pet shop. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Also very dog friendly”

“This shop has very friendly staff. It is well stocked and they will do their best to get anything in that they don't have if you ask.”

“Ordered flowers for my mum this morning delivered same day. Absolutely beautiful will definitely be using again. Lovely helpful staff”

“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 staff who are very knowledgeable and helpful and willing to help. Me and my jack love it ❤️”

“Lovely staff in the cafe. In fact I wouldn’t call it a a cafe. I would call it a cafe I wold call it an restaurafe. The only down side was our drinks ( mine an extra hot cappuccino) was sat waiting for the waitress to take it to me. Therefore, it was cold when it reached our table. We were very close too where they make the coffee. The food was lovely and I was provided with with a bag for the other half of the wrap I couldn’t eat so I could take home. The Butcher’s had an amazing array of meat. The steak beef burgers that I bought were the best that I have ever tasted. The young lad that served me was very knowledgeable too. The staff in the grocery department were brilliant too especially when I asked the lady for ‘a quarter’ of pear drops ( I’m old school at 53) she didn’t bat an eyelid and gave me my (quarter) of sweets. What can I say? 24ct gold service.”

“We loved native. It's architecturally really interesting - really great use of this space. The room was beautiful and a lovely place to come back to. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. A couple of things that would have made it even better would have been some drawers to put clothes in and a full length mirror. All in all though we had a really great time and will definitely be back.”

“Called in just to refill my pie drawer in the freezer. Also McCains hash browns at half price, plus our seniors 10% off. Can't be bad!”

“took my shizu, all other groomers couldnt do her eyes.. Took her here, i told them how id had trouble with other groomers as she gets nervous and doesn't like to be groomed. I left her with them, returned expecting to hear the same old, shes too out of control, but...No, My dog looked amazing, they managed to even do around her eyes, they said..she was no trouble at for them... Thank you 5/5”

“They obtained quality services both online and in person sales. Credit to them”

“Great corner shop for food and necessities ps they have a great Nick nack rack”

“Eggs and meat products are of great quality and worth it for the price paid. Reduced sandwiches are always available very cheaply on store entrance. Instore pickup is very helpful for M&S loyal customers. Only dislike about this store is the customer service is very very very slow wasting lot of time but the staff are friendly.”

“Great range of frozen&fresh food.Super bargains.Wish Glasgow had one”

“My mum (I'm a border collie by the way) gets our cheese from here. I love cheese and the Co-op cheese is woofin'. It's a great shop for the local community. All the best to the staff and customers - Love from Barney sheepdog xx”

“As you'd expect at any premier Inn, staff on check in were extremely jolly and helpful, everything was as we expected, excellent value for money. Simple check in/check out. Will stay again. Thanks”

“More like a mixed supermarket for those who fancies Asian, African and carribean food recipe. The location is well central and its a walking distance to the nearest nandos, McDonald's and other grocery shops between fallowfield and Withington.”

“Friendly and helpful staff. Well stocked, good value.”

“Easy parking Can buy almost all my shopping here they have a very wide choice and best of all if I go on a Tuesday I get 10% discount as a pensioner”

“Great place. Smaller than Walkden so makes it easier to grab what you want. Well stocked too. Have kids, love Iceland! And love a bargain.”

“Don't shop at this co-op too much,it isn't my local,but when I do pop in during my travels, they usually have what I'm looking for. Parking here is quite limited!”

“Very handy store with convenient parking, not always the cheapest but is very ethical so you cant complain. Never had an issue with any product from Co-op and are usually of the slightly higher quality and that is why the prices can be slightly more as you pay for quality. Timperley co-op is well maintained and the staff are always pretty chatty and polite and the store is well stocked.”

“Paul was very kind and attentive on arrival. Smiles all round. Fast and efficient service. Cheers Paul x”

“Amazing place for the whole family grab some food in the restaurant starting with meatballs and chips that are one of a kind. Through the maze of awesome products and in the end at the warehouse if you and your kids want to misbehave you can ride on top of the flatbed trolleys. In conclusion IKEA Manchester is the place to be for shopping and a way to have a nice day out.”

“Booked tickets for me and some friends who were spending the day in Manchester. We had a brilliant hour upstairs on the open top bus. Great value for just £12. Clear commentary and information by the guide and a free map with information on Manchester and the route we took. Such a brilliant memory for us all. I definitely recommend”

“The staff always go out of their way to help and make sure you get everything you need. The shop is always clean and there is always a member of staff stacking the shelves whenever you go in.”

“Excellent quality food and excellent service. This was our third stay at Premier Inn hearld Green Manchester. The beefeater restaurant has an great choice of dishes on the menu,we had the meal deal which includes two courses plus a alcoholic drink plus unlimited breakfast. The quality of food is excellent and staff are excellent hard working and polite. Thank you to all the staff but a special mention to Nicole you have such a lovely friendly personality and always smiling and hard working. Look forward to seeing you again in March.”
