Handcrafted menu in Manchester

“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 nice place to have a few drinks and some delicious pub food reasonably priced. The Botanist is beautifully decorated, the cocktails and selection of drinks is is impressive. I really enjoyed my halloumi hanging kebab and sweet chili fries. The staff is very approachable and attentive. Special thanks to our waiter Sam who kindly made sure that we were happy and well attended at all times. Will go back :)”

“We went to the Manchester airport Clayton Hotel to meet international guests who stayed at the hotel overnight before returning home... as a family of 5 we were welcomed and served as equal to all the guests and all our requirements were catered for with politeness and willingness. The restaurant area was clean and airy with lovely toilets... would definitely recommend!... food prices are on the High end but portion sizes are generous!”

“Down to earth atmosphere always welcome fantastic staff”

“First time at this fabulous restaurant and it won't be the last! Lovely concept of a 4 course meal served to you with courtesy and a smile. We loved the fact there is no menu meaning that each course was a surprise. The food was all home cooked, delicious and extremely good value. The chef came and chatted to us at the end of our meal too. Think we have found our new go to restaurant.”

“Went on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Really friendly people running the place. Very relaxed atmosphere. Had coffee, a pastry, and cake, all were lovely. Good portion size for the price.”

“Staff are just lovely. Popped in for lunch where I had a very smooth lovely Americano(far less bitter than the chain coffee houses) and a sourdough cheese toastie. Thick cut with plenty of melt in the mouth cheese. Highly recommend this little hidden gem”

“Found the restaurant in Google and decided to try it We had dinner in this little cosy restaurant. Staff is very friendly and food was amazing, we had traditional soup as started, mix pierogi to share and chicken in potatoes pancake and fried duck as a main. Everything was taste amazing and fresh.”

“This brewery outlet and restaurant has a pleasant green setting in Old Glossop with outdoor and indoor seating, helpful staff and imaginative options on the menu, including vegan and veggie ones - a lot of the options are light bites rather than full meals, and of course there are the various house beers. The pictured jerk chicken dish really was divine and as you can see also nicely presented. I liked the chef's dedication and enthusiasm. It's worth going to try some dishes that are a bit different, even if you're not big on beer. On that topic, I haven't the heart to deduct a star for it, but it is a shame that no alcohol-free beer is on offer, and secondly, I once ordered a home-brewed 'Hefeweizen' which is a German-style wheat beer cloudy with yeast in it, and it was served lukewarm. Being firstly German and secondly a refreshing summer drink this type of beer absolutely needs to be consumed properly chilled!”

“Lovely coffee and friendly staff. The cakes looked delicious so next time I am gonna try one!!”

“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.”

“Excellent food, Excellent service. I would recommend stopping by for a full English breakfast or anything to do with breakfast or lunch. Everything is fresh and made to order. Thanks Maz! Nice meeting you!”

“A hidden gem in copson street in withington. Great middle eastern and italian food. The food is freshly prepared. The pizza is italian style with a thin base. The foul is authentic and the kibbeh home made. Even the home made gourmet burgers are individually prepared and a world apart from fast food. Friendly staff and we have always had good service. Really good value for money, especially for families.”

“Really nice setting. Good coffee. Food really nice and tasty. Cakes looked great. Definately will return.”

“An excellent, friendly micropub with quite a wide selection of draught ales, bottles and cans. The regulars are interesting and friendly decent people. The sort of bar that gives you a lift”

“An excellent real ale pub. The beer I've had there has always been very well maintained. The staff are friendly and the prices are good. The place is clean, comfortable and well maintained. I would highly recommend visiting”

“Landlady has a done a great job of the beer garden and is very chatty & friendly! A local pub with friendly locals.”

“Marble Brewery are one of the best brewers around in my view. Their new tap has hit the ground running. On my visit, there was Pint on cask, in addition to 9 varied keg offerings and a full fridge. Great use of the space given its purpose and a place I'll return to.”

“Stumbled across this place by mistake. Well, it was a great mistake because the food was amazing. Very quick, tasty and fresh. It wasn’t bland, and the bread they used was soft and fresh too, the sauces used made the shawarma extra tasty. Recommend it for sure and would definitely visit again. Not too pricey either.”

“Amazing pizza and friendly staff. Made fresh in front of you whilst you wait. Not the cheapest but definitely worth it.”

“Great place - went there a few months ago on the way to the cinema, messed up our timings and they were super helpful getting us the food really quickly. They had a really good looking wine list and also a properly interesting whisky list, need to go back and sample it properly!”

“This was a random stop to try the pizza since I was in the area. Every Italian shall be judged by their Margherita pizza and they passed very well, wood fired pizza done in less than 5 minutes like the waiter claimed. Tasted very fresh and the size was 12" so good value for the money. The crust of the bread or dough was not so airy but didn't taste chewy either. See photos attached.”

“Great pizza. The menu has a decent variety and plenty for vegetarians. Good coffee too. About £25 for two pizzas with drinks.”

“Great coffee and snacks. Efficient and very friendly and welcoming staff.”

“Superb coffee, nice teacake and good (unobtrusive) music. A great place to refresh yourself when out on a long(ish) walk. Dog friendly. Very friendly and approachable staff.”

“The best Prestwich café. I'm sad it took us so long to try this outstanding café! The food was delicious, a shashunka worthy of the name! Best one I've had in the UK, spicy and with melt in the middle eggs. Outstanding oat milk coffee, the best around and there is good competition. Great veggie/vegan options, and lovely staff/vibe. Great with our annoying toddler too! :) Will be back!”

“Delicious coffee and delicious breakfast burritos. Wonderful selection of groceries and refillable products. Thank you for your hospitality we had a lovely time.”

“Excellent, friendly service! Came for a red velvet cookie dough. Out of this world! Will definitely be back again. Thank you so much ::))”

“Excellent very busy pub. Brilliant staff and ale. The regulars are incredibly loyal to the place and always make an effort to contribute to any events etc.”
