Local taste explore in Salford

“I was looking for plasters as my new shoes had caused a big blister on my foot and I was in agony! None were in stock, but a lovely assistant called Sinead took the trouble to get me some plasters from first aid. Kindness is rare and her small act was lovely! Thanks Sinead. You're a star.”

“Best kebab I ve had in my life. The size of it could feed 3 of us. I specifically asked to have my nan well done and it arrived just perfect! Quality of the meet was so great that it melted in my mouth. So fresh and thin cut. They couldn’t do more. Defiantly my fave take away place so far. Ps. The driver was so polite and even came back to let me know I ve given too much money where really it was his tip. It just shows how honest and profecional they are. Fantastic services!”

“The apartment was clean and cozy. The check in procedure can be a lot better though”

“Great café with amazing food. I'd definitely recommend the tea, too. Deborah is really friendly. Excellent place to go any time of the day.”

“The food was really delicious and I loved the modern take on the more traditional dishes. It's different from all other restaurants I have been to (in the best way possible), and I found it quite refreshing and exciting to try dishes that aren't so common and easily found elsewhere. The food and the cocktails were beautifully presented (10/10 for aesthetic) and the staff were really friendly.”

“Great POlish shop and helpfull staff. One of the best around.”

“Nice place, great staff and delicious food. Highly recommended.”

“Best pub in Manchester, superb selection of beer, nice beer garden, and you can bring food in from the chip shop next door”

“Great shop with a good variety of stock and lovely staff.”

“Very warm welcome and good staff, got everything I expected for.”

“Restaurant looks really nice. Both courses we had were delicious. Staff great Would recommend”

“Loved our experience at Gaucho. Some items were not photographed as it was all gobbled up too quickly! Place is lovely and the service excellent. Honestly, customer service is top notch; our waiter was very helpful, welcoming and friendly. We had the fillet and another type of steak recommended by staff. We got a side of truffle mac & cheese, chips, and rocket salad which were all very delicious. The cheesecake dessert was the best we ever tried & the brownie was average to be honest. Theres a lovely selection of drinks that is inclusive of those who do not prefer alcohol as well. It was a fantastic experience & we will definitely be coming again.”

“As always, the same high standard as I have come to expect from Premier Inn. The room was immaculate and the staff were very friendly. The hotel was a good base, just a short walk from Spinningfields and the cocktails we had enjoyed earlier in the night. The hotel also had an option to store luggage once we checked out. They asked for a donation for this, which we gladly paid as all the money went to their chosen charity!”

“Love this store, always get cool new foods to try, also do amazing juice and fruit and veg”

“I brought my Thai mum here and I am so glad I did! I could tell it was going to be good just from looking at the menu and photos, but wow, if you want delicious, authentic Thai food, this is the place. There are so many incredible dishes on the menu that you just can’t get in a lot of other Thai restaurants, I can’t wait to come back and try more already! We came pretty early, about 4 o clock, and we were there till 7 because we loved it so much and were chatting away with Chef May. It did start getting pretty busy after 6 though (even on a Wednesday), so I would definitely recommend booking ahead! I find it a bit ridiculous that people are complaining about the issue of the toilet being round the corner, it’s really not far and I noticed that other restaurants and businesses in Deansgate Mews also have their own toilets in the same block. It’s hardly a sacrifice to eat delicious Thai food in a cute, casual setting in my opinion, unless you have mobility issues, but hey, each to their own. I also disagree with the complaints I’ve seen about pricing, considering chef May’s prices are in line with every other Thai restaurant I’ve been to (and I’ve been to many), plus her food is tasty, excellent quality, and are generous portions too. Myself and my mum both got one of our favourite noodle dishes - Kuai Tiew Moo Nam Tok, and the portion was huge! I also highly recommend the tod maan pla (thai fishcakes). Thank you chef May for a lovely visit and for chatting with us, we will be back soon!”

“What a great pub! A nice traditional pub with a great range of pints, friendly staff and the prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend The Deansgate and I look forward to visiting again upon my return to Manchester”

“Been a resident at The Slate Yard for nearly a year and couldn't recommend it more. Gym is brilliant, you feel so safe even in the middle of a busy city. My friends and I have loved it and wish we could stay longer but cannot due to moving out of the city. Would recommend to anyone looking for a central flat, Ems”

“Excellent welcome by pleasant staff. Great service with knowledgeable welcome. Food well cooked to our preference, ample quantities and well worth the money.”

“This is a good store. It’s cheaper than a normal Next, but still has a very good selection of things. The staff were very friendly and there was a nice range of stuff.”

“Great pub, I traveled from America, had a long train ride to my hotel and the Sawyer’s Arms was my first stop in England. What an experience: it’s a beautiful old school pub in the middle of Deansgate, with very reasonable prices, good food and pint selection and the staff was very courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. I ended up returning several times during my stay and I look forward to doing the same when I return to Manchester.”

“Great Central location within walking distance of shops. Great friendly staff. Rooms super clean and quiet. Breakfast tasty, hot and plentiful. Somewhere to store luggage when you're too early for check in and when you want to leave the bags after checking out.”

“What a nice hotel. Met by friendly staff at the reception, very welcoming and helpful. Our room was clean, tidy and fresh. The breakfast provided was lovely. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying over in Manchester for the evening.”

“I have tried almost every food at Da Vinchi and have never been disappointed. Edika Ikong (my favourite), Afang, Nkwobi, Isiewu, Suya, grilled fish, and the list goes on and on. God bless the team at the kitchen cooking these fantastic meals. I want to also appreciate the owner who is always present, making sure customers are taken care of.”

“Whenever you are in Salford this is the place to be. I stayed here for 23nights for my plab 2 and I felt at home from the first night. Top notch facility with awesome hosts. Thank you so much for making my stay in Salford memorable.”

“Recently moved to the area and nice and good price too. We had the salt and chilli dishes.”

“Very affordable, last-minute booking turned out so well. Warm, cleans rooms and friendly, helpful staff. Such a pretty location and a short walk to the tram station that takes you right into the city. Would stay again.”

“Best shop in lower broughton by far and the best staff work there too, really friendly and really helpful, the shop has been owned by the same people for at least 20 years so everyone who's from the area knows them and vice versa, what more could you want from a local friendly shop :) XxX”

“V clean modern excellent location. Extra touches such as milk in fridge really made our holiday definitely recommend rooms stunning all modern amenities xxx”
