Top 30 Best Uk live music in Manchester

“If you want authentic locally sourced 'pub grub' then this definitely is the place to go. The place is up in the hills and on entry you'll notice the old fashioned, authentic surroundings. It's very warm, lit by a woodburning fire has great beer, friendly service and delicious food. We'll be back thats for sure. Ps here's a tip.. Parking is a nightmare!! The car park is very small and surroundings are quite restricted due to residential housing and hills, expect your car to get dirty and don't drive up your brand new whip”

Maybe the portions could have been a bit bigger, but you cannot complain because everything is so high-quality that the value for money beyond question. I will dream of this food. Very good staff make you feel looked after. Can't recommend it highly enough. No wonder it was almost full on a Wednesday evening.”

“Probably the best place for a casual yet very tasty dinner in Manchester. We tried chicken gyros and bifteki ( greek burger) . Everything was excellent. The stuff was very friendly and accommodating. The quality of the meet is exceptional but the price is very reasonable making it the best value for money . I suggest you ask for a special greek white wine called retsina ( wine with pine tree extract ). Finally there are nice deserts like homemade baklava and cheesecake.”

“One of the best and most under-appreciated restaurants in Manchester, this. The food quality is always fantastic. The type of food is higher-end, with a varying and imaginative (but not pretentious) seasonal menu. My family has eaten here for years, and the highest standards are always upheld. Looking forward to eating here again!”

“Had a fantastic meal here, service is very good and the menu is extensive. Really enjoyed our visit and won't hesitate to return.”
