Incredibly busy with lots of red clad bikers, like we do when we impersonate a giant poppy, ha. Long queue, but on the ball staff who served efficiently.

We finished our meal with a homemade rocky road cake to share portions are great we would recommend to anyone”

“We dropped by here for lunch arriving at 12 noon. Already this venue was popular but had plenty of seating to accommodate everyone. There were plenty of staff who were friendly knowledgable and created a good atmosphere. A real highlight from the kitchen was the Gluten Free Menu. It was extensive and included a gluten free version of the majority of the main menu. In addition to the GF menu there was a vegan menu and they also catered for those avoiding specific allergens. An excellent GF beer was also available. It was a real pleasure to eat & drink here and we will be visiting again soon.”

“This place is absolutely incredible! The food is second to none, and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The portions are a generous size. This store has made such an impression on me that it's the only takeaway I go to over the past year! You'll get so much more food in this place compared to the stores nearby for the same price. Try this at least once and I guarantee you will be back. One of the best takeaways in Manchester”

“Used a few times now, love the great authentic stone-baked dough and rich sauce. Usually pick a pepperoni calzone - great.”

“I come to Wagamama regularly and I can say never disappoints!! Always nice service, friendly and helpful staff, delicious and beautifully served food! New plant based menu is just out of this world - smoothies, small dishes, mains, have tried most of them and they are so so good! Especially Chicken buns and ribs. Love every bit of it!! Would add more desserts - for example a vegan cheesecake!”

“First time with Yummy, great food, Salt and Pepper were delicious, as was the rest of the food. Certainly be back.”

“Went after the footy match and wow, it was certainly worth the wait. I opted for the Tokyo bowl. Chicken Katsy curry, rice, crispy seasoned chips, and a couple veggie spring rolls with a spicy/sweet dipping sauce. The rolls were lovely and crisp, but the dipping sauce really made them pop. The fried we great, esp when you dipped them in the Katsy curry. The chicken was well seasoned and had a nice crispy exterior. The only issue I have is there was hardly enough Katsy curry, so I had to order an additional pot! Please put a little extra curry on the dish guys! Nonetheless, reasonably priced and tastes great!”

“First time ordering from here and I dont write reviews for anything. But this place deserves it. Very professional delivery service.They made an off the menu burger for me and it was stunning. The peri chicken platter was amazing! Will now be the only place we order from.”

“This week we were fortunate enough to have our wedding at The White Hart. The whole staff and establishment couldn't have done anymore for us. Their attention to detail on the day was impeccable and even the smallest request was delivered with such enthusiam and the team were so personable. Even when small hiccups occured before the day Charles and his dedicated team made us feel so valued and wen't completely out their way to get everything the way we wanted it. We had comments from our guests that the quality of the food was the best they have had at a wedding and the venue looked incredible with the roaring fire and it's naturally cosy atmoshphere. The rooms were immaculate and incredibly warm and cosy with all details thought of. We'd like to express our sincere thanks and couldn't reccommend this venue and team more to deliver your special day. Thankyou to every single member of the team, you all played a part in delivering our special day. Christian & Emma x”

I’ve never been before but i’d love to visit again!”
