Top 20 Best Hiking trail meals in Manchester

“We have stayed at this PI regularly for about 15 years so that we can visit family. Even though team members have changed, it is still staffed by a great team of friendly and helpful staff and the rooms are spotlessly clean. Thank you all! However, over the last couple of years, a very clear and "uncomfortable" demarcation has evolved between this PI and the associated restaurant. The restaurant has extremely rigid rules for eating times etc. and enforces them in a forthright manner... it makes the whole hotel experience unpleasant. We prefer to eat at the great Café in Tesco, a short walk away. The staff are really lovely and the food is good - far less stressful.”

“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!”

“Stayed here for 2 nights. Very comfortable room, spotlessly clean bathroom. We had an evening meal in the restaurant and the food was lovely and the service was brilliant. The staff were very friendly and helpful. All in all this was perfect accommodation. Would definitely recommend.”

“A great free house, with great hand pulled bitter, and to my delight, Timothy Taylor's landlord,it was,spot on.The pub itself, is clean and comfortable, with friendly staff,and the out side space,has great seating,and Fabulous views.”

“Spent the night at the Mill after having a wonderful meal with 2 friends. A fabulous 3-course meal, that did not disappoint. After a great evening in a very festive atmosphere we retired to an extremely comfortable 6- king bed in a very well-designed bedroom with balcony views of the old mill wheel and stream. The only thing that lets this inn down is the lack of power in the shower.”

“We came to the dog walking evening on the 27th of June. We had wanted to visit the gardens since they opened but this gave us, and our furry friends, the ideal opportunity to explore. What a resounding success it seemed to be. We absolutely loved it and cannot wait for the next one in July. Everybody we spoke to said the same as us. The gardens themselves are beautiful and we all enjoyed exploring. It is a place that is ever changing and I would like to see it in the different seasons. I really hope the dog friendly evenings remain a regular thing.”

“Great place, I’m so glad we found it this time. Google maps sends you to a road in Shaw. So ensure you type in the actual address when wanting to come here and not click directions from google :) it will save you a 20 mins drive lol Great service, food is top notch, prices are good with a great atmosphere. Definitely will be back. They have gluten free bread. Although not celiac friendly, as the kitchen is not set up for A gluten free station. They did ensure the bread was grilled away from the areas wheat had touched. Kids menu available and also a Dog menu too. The staff were really helpful.”

“Great pub, Live music, Craft beers, A selection of fine spirits and bike friendly. This pub truly raises the profile of the local area.”

“We had a fantastic couple of nights at The Lamb Inn - such a cosy and welcoming pub with excellent service and delicious food. The bed was so comfy and the room was brilliantly equipped, and a great location for visiting different parts of the Peaks. The roast dinner on Sunday and the cooked breakfasts were a definite highlight for us and we would love to come back again! Thank you for making us feel so welcome and looked after :)”

“Nice centre, great coffee in the cafe. Gym is great and quiet in the mornings. Plus they had the blood donation drive come over every now and again.”

“Nice little cafe with a good selection of baguettes, sandwiches, sausage rolls, chips and gravy. Nice cakes and hit dri js too. Very convenient for the lake.”

“Popped into the Shepherds Arms whilst touring the area in our Motorhome little gem of a pub up a quite street well worth a visit, friendly bar staff are a credit to the pub.”

“We stayed near this pub and ate & drank there several times during the week. The staff were lovely and friendly and the pub grub was excellent! The meals were plentiful, an excellent plateful, which is always good for me, and some of the pies in particular, were lovely. The Fidget Pie was definitely one I’d not heard of before, but I’d definitely recommend. So, if you’re looking for friendly staff, friendly locals and excellent pub grub, then I’d highly recommend the Lantern Pike!”

“Overnight stay required, searched for hotels in oldham area, this was found to be in perfect location just off M62 Room was exceptionally clean with tea and coffee making facilities in room and ensuite, adjoining the hotel is a restaurant which caters for your evening and breakfast meals, has a pool room, kids play area and Bar. Reasonable check in and out times.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Navigation Inn. Great food and choice of cask ales. Located a short walk along canal path to Whaley Bridge, and 3 miles along canal path to New Mills. Recommend lamb shank and beef hot pot with extra chunky fries which we had (see photos) ..No need for chips on the way home after that. Very warm and cosy traditional friendly atmosphere with low ceilings. Choice of 4 cask ales, including Timothy Taylor..See photos. B&B :- Four poster room very nice with new spacious ensuit shower. Stairs and landing work in progress re decorating but this didn't change our enjoyment in the slightest :) Breakfast amazing with all the usual choices cooked really well and any variation in menu not to much trouble. Will definitely return.”

“Spotless, modern rooms and facilities with old-time, personal hospitality, in this great local pub stay, after a day in the Peaks, or en-route somewhere. MUCH better than similarly priced options in the dull and disinterested franchise travel hotels in the area. .”

“Fine establishment I must say. Cracking pint of Carling. Visited with 4 friends yesterday and Howie behind the bar was an absolute gentleman. Played pool, had music on the jukebox and we have a right laugh. Will definitely be back.”

“.Excellent, comfortable and well equipped home” from tripadvisor Reviewed 5 Jan 2016 Our family thoroughly enjoyed the month stay at the well located Butterworth Hall. Owners, Judith and David, were very helpful and quick to respond to any requests. We were welcomed with a Christmas tree, flowers and tasty treats. The cottage is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The location of the cottage is excellent - close to pubs, restaurants, grocery stores and tram to Manchester City Centre. The great WiFi access was important for us to keep in touch. It's very spacious as we hosted dinner for 15 people. I would highly recommended this cottage to anyone needing to stay near Manchester.”

“We just had a 3 day , 2 night family gathering here for 12 people and 4 dogs. We received exceptional treatment, nothing was too much trouble. We all had afternoon teas which were absolutely amazing, and we had lovely evening meals too. The rooms were all lovely and clean, and the hotel had a really nice atmosphere. The staff (in particular Sean & Loraine.) Have wonderful customer service skills, and make you feel very special. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel, its A true hidden gem.”

“Sunday Dinner in a tapas restaurant? I know but yes it was great. I was apprehensive, and generally don’t go out for Sunday Dinner as it’s always a let down compared to eating at home, but this was actually great, the Chicken was cooked to perfection, great portions, fantastic bar staff, and service, thank you James and Lillia, and Styal is a wonderful place to visit I will definitely be back with the family”
