“Great food. The back garden is lovely during the summer. They were very accommodating to my partners mother who is a fussy eater. Will 100% be going again.”

“Attentive staff, fast service and fair prices. The only disappointing thing is that I wasn't allowed to leave a tip on my card. I barely ever carry cash so sadly I couldn't leave a gratuity.”

“This place is THE go to place for great food. Staff are superb and really pleasant. The kebabs are the best around without a doubt. The fish is battered and cooked just right. Overall it is a knock out take away. Highly recommend it.”

“Nice food freshly cooked lovely clean take away best one in town”

“Firstly my photos are rubbish and don't capture the food as well as it should. Also, I forgot to take photos of the full sea bream in champagne sauce, or the bone marrow served with Pommes Anna, we just got too hungry and forgot! Pig's Head croquette - wonderfully crispy on the outside, with a strong fatty pork flavour which I loved, outstanding! Bone Marrow with Pommes Anna - juicy, delicate, and the mouth feel of the fat coating your tonuge - gorgeous. Needed the salty pommes anna alongside for the perfect mouthful. Charred Hispi cabbage - a nice bitterness and complemented by the deep sauce. Beef shin and kidney rarebit pudding - a stodgy big portion, but the suet was light and crumbly, deep meaty flavours with the kidney not overpowering. This was a meal on its own! Roast duck with port sauce - perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. Sea Bream - whole sea bream which was perfectly roasted, champagne sauce was perhaps a little rich for us by then, but the chive oil did help to balance that out. House fries - nice, but we were stuffed so not really needed! No real complaints, it was busy and we hadn't booked, so we had to sit at the bar which wasn't the most comfortable. The food comes out as its ready which means we were left with the sea bream and fries at the end - would have been better if the order of dishes could have been rearranged, but anyway, this was a great meal. Including three soft drinks, only £92 for all that incredible food! Definitely need to go again!”

“Fantastic food and fantastic service! We order from Queenies almost every week and they never disappoint! Food always comes on time and lots of options to choose from whether it's breakfast or dinner! Thank you always from all my colleagues at RVA.”

“I don't drink so I always have coffee, my coffee was spot on and as a bonus there was a choice of chocolate biscuits, yum yum, staff very pleasant place spotless definitely would be first port of call if I lived in Disley which is only a mile or so from Stockport and a bit more to Buxton a good starting point for walkers, with Lyme park a few yards down the road”

“It's a great locals pub, The landlord is clearly trying hard! The pub has regular changing cask ales and a good choice at the bar, but if this pub is not supported like so many others all this will be wasted! Support or lose! Check opening times & go and enjoy a few drinks in a great pub.”

“Lovely little pub in the heart of Poynton. Good seating area out the front and a covered, well-ventilated area at the back. Good range of beers (weihenstephan my personal favourite) and wine. Cheerful staff, helpful and accommodating. Toilets are always clean. Glad to see it survived lockdown!!”

“Girl with Bob and short fringe is really cool and good at job.”

“I've been to this pub a fair bit but never sampled the roast until last Sunday. We ordered lamb and a vegan roast, and both were the best we have had in our lives. I cannot begin to even describe how tasty this food was. My girlfriend said it was THE best vegan food she's ever had in a restaurant. The staff are also so welcoming and friendly. The delicious food in combination with the ebullient staff really made our day. Thanks guys! This is without a doubt a 10/10”

“amazing place, will be even bigger and better too!# amazing work done locally as well!”

“Small local theatre with good events and reasonable prices. Booked here to go to a panto at Christmas with 10 friends, cost a third of the prices of a panto at the main Manchester theatre. It was camp, funny and everyone loved it. Drinks were relatively cheap for Manchester too.”

“Lovely little theatre within the Lowry. The theatre is smaller than the Lyric Theatre and has its own bar and toilets. I've sat in a variety of different seats and all had good views and were comfortable.”

“I've been to many concerts in many countries and this is one of the best halls acoustically that I've encountered. Only let down, slightly, but their choice of microphones. I look forward to seeing many more shows here.”

“Photos are from various visits. This is just the best venue for music in Manchester. We mainly go for the BBC Philharmonic and the Halle. It's a really nice, cosy and welcoming place, making it more accessible for everyone to enjoy orchestral music.”

“Very interesting and great place to go to in Manchester centre . To sit in the bar that has a very good atmosphere with good variety of drinks and friendly staff. If you hungry they serve good food pizzas vegitarians meals and other menus . Also, they play good music and now and then they have good bands and musical events”
