“We really love this pub and pizza place. The beers are expertly kept and the staff are very friendly. We had a couple of pizzas when we were there last and they were exactly what we wanted and needed. Good atmosphere, great bee, tasty food. What more do you need?”

“Absolutely amazing cocktail bar. Staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble, I even asked for a cocktail not on the list and they made it. I cannot recommend this bar enough. Plus really good music, and a fantastic live singer on the Sunday night. If you're in the area go to this bar.”

“I do not leave reviews very often but I have to for this one. We came for a Christmas Eve meal in a beautiful setting. From the food all the way down to the service, they go above and beyond to make you have the best experience. Food is bursting with flavour and filling. Had some of the best service I’ve ever experienced here, staff are kind, friendly and fantastic with the children. I cannot fault anything with this restaurant at all. Thanks for a lovely evening. We will definitely be back soon!”

“Highly recommended. Superb food and very helpful and friendly staff. We were seated right away, and the food we got was freshly cooked and tasty as anything. Highly recommend the Chicken and Bacon pancakes!”

“Another great experience at The English Lounge… an 80th private party recently, where everyone had a great time. The staff, as always, very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Particular thanks to Michael, Kieron and Dannie for looking after us all.”

“Under new management, getting back to were it was, clean pub good prices nice beer. Friendly Staff who will go extra mile and have a conversation.”

“Stayed overnight to see Peter Kay. Lovely hotel, large room with a very comfy bed. Huge television. Couldn't beat the price either. Didn't use the pub/restaurant but it looked great and lively. Amazing location and easy to get to from the train station. Will definitely stay again.”

“Staff were absolutely wonderful. The food is awesome, Amazing experience the personal room you get was even more awesome. The food is very picky so the personal room you get is an amazing idea. You have to prebook before you go. The more you pay the better it is, more meat. Check the menu online before you go.”

“I would recommend the comedy store any day of the week. Staff were pleasant . Place was clean and tidy and in a prime location near to other events in the heart of Manchester. Its quite a large venue which could seat around 200 people as an estimate. maybe they offer to hire out the venue? i dont know but its worth mentioning. Would be back very soon. House beer was great!! Enjoy it!!!!”

“The staff are really kind and friendly the room was cleaned very well we stayed here for a week and it’s a really nice and good hotel the bed is really comfy and you can make your own tea in the morning would come here again!”

“The food was good. But the waiters were fantastic. The place is very neat and decent and I'll recommend their milk shakes”

“Sarah the duty manager... exceptional! This lady knows how to manage efficiently and effectively! Her customer service skills are on point and she knows how to treat people respectfully and with compassion. My experience with her was fantastic and I can't praise her enough. We had a minor issue with a staff member refusing disability access to my aunt but Lucy was quick to intervene and resolve the incident with kindness and empathy. I have worked in hostility for 18 years and I am confident to say this lady knows how to manage with dignity and respect. Massive well done for you and everything you do”

“Down to earth atmosphere always welcome fantastic staff”

“Can't recommend Fraser highly enough. Always get an excellent service. He's great with our dog who needed to be socialised properly after lockdown. Gave us some superb tips as to how to handle challenging behaviours, all of which worked a treat. Looking forward to a long working relationship!”

“It wasn't planned but we decided to try this Cafe which is in the area Chorlton, Manchester. My wife actually wanted to try some new dish in Vegetables. She ordered "Baba Ganouch Vegetables" (Potatoes, salad, roasted aubergine and humus with Pitta bread) and I ordered "Chicken Shawarma Wrap "with roasted vegetables and fried on the side with chilly sauce. Both items were cooked in front of me and were fresh. We really enjoyed our meal. It's a nice small cafe with good food. At least try it once. I will go again... I am gonna share some pictures which I took at the café of our own orders”
