Top 30 Best Workshops in Manchester

“Arlo - Bear absolutely LOVES coming to Simba’s Shed for his groom. Chelsea is absolutely amazing with him and has helped him so much with his grooming journey. He started off a very anxious pup but with all the love and attention he gets the groomers is no longer a scary place. You really won’t find anyone else who loves their job and your pup half as much as Chelsea does. Thank you!”

“So happy with the result of our puppy’s groom, he came back looking so handsome and smelling amazing! His coat was cut exactly how we wanted it to be cut, we’ll definitely be using The Grooming Mat again! They’re close to where we live as well, so it’s always a pleasure supporting amazing local businesses.”

“Everyone has been very helpful at a stressful time for me. They put my mind at rest and contacted the creditors on my behalf.”

“Great service, fixed within a couple of hours and made a few helpful suggestions on grinder upgrades available. Will use again if I have any issues.”

“Brought my bike in today after unsuccessfully trying to sort on my front derailleur. Rick had sorted it for me within a couple of hours. Nice guy, and glad to find a decent local lbs. Will use again!”

“Exceptionally polite and responsible staff. Prices are more than competitive and extremely accurate with time. Highly recommend!”

“Lost a stone out of my engagement ring, took it to Skuphams they replaced the stone and polished the ring up, beautiful job and very reasonable price, will definitely be going back. Lynn & Ian”

“I recently collected my ring from Lester & Brown and I am delighted with it. I had an eternity ring that sat unworn in my jewellery box and my friend persuaded me to take it to Lester & Brown. I am so glad I did!! David spent time talking through options and then sent me photographs of CAD designs so I could look at the stones in different settings. The service that David and Ian provided was fabulous from start to finish. I would not hesitate to recommend them!”

“A professional service with a personal touch. Service has been outstanding from the show we found them at to picking up our rings. Very knowledgeable and made my bespoke wedding ring to perfectly match my engagement ring. Fiancé also got exactly what he wanted at prices comparable to the high street.”

“My Dad gave me an old George V gold coin, and Eve made it into a beautiful gold band that’s got a hammered finish, absolutely beautiful work, very reasonable price and a quick turn-around for such a pretty ring - thanks so much Eve ❤️”

“Absolutely brilliant! I had a great time at the make a ring or two session. Heather was very knowledgeable and friendly and answered all of our questions. There were plenty of different designs and techniques to choose from and we got to make 2 rings! Great way to spend the evening. Would highly recommend to everyone!”

“Fantastic service and great value for money. They did an excellent job taking up a formal jumpsuit for me, I was worried the seam would be obvious but its barely noticeable and incredibly neat. Highly recommended.”

“It's definitely a florist! And a bloomin great one at that! I have had such good flowers and service from Pansie Potters that I have chosen them for my wedding flowers! Would highly recommend!”

“Love my personalised hangings! I ordered one for myself and a few for family as wedding keepsakes, everyone loved them. Service was brilliant, friendly and patient. They sent back all overs as well so I can use them in my scrapbook. Thank you so much.”

“Thank you for delivering an absolutely gorgeous bouquet to my daughter and your help and commitment in doing this after a misunderstanding over the address details, I really appreciate the time you have taken to ensure she received her flowers. She is thrilled to bits with the bouquet and we both said we would highly recommend your florist, the selection of flowers and the finishing touches you added with glitter and pearls is beautiful and very pretty.”

“My second visit to Odin’s and the experience was twice as good as the first time. The shop is immaculate and the staff so so amazing. I was so lucky to have Ewelina do both of my tattoos and she killed it both times. I think artists like her are so hard to find. She has a real skill for producing detailed, intricate designs and I think in the tattoo world that is so rare. Combining her extensive knowledge in both the tattoo and brow game makes her the ultimate double threat. I will not go elsewhere from now on! Can’t recommend enough!”

“I took part in the TPA piercing course in Manchester this past weekend and my overall experience was incredible. I originally had booked to participate down in London, however due to behind the scenes issues, it meant that the course would change to Manchester. At first I was worried and felt very anxious, however Sammy (admin) went above and beyond to ease every single worry that I had, even to the extent of rebooking my hotel for me as the one I'd paid for originally was non refundable. He didn't just leave it at that, he even called me on the evening of day 1 (whilst he was at the airport) to double check I had arrived okay and was settled. Again, going above and beyond with their customer care. Anyway, I travelled up and arrived at the salon and then met the teacher, Sunny, and 9 other participants all taking the course. The two day course was intense, but packed with incredible and helpful information. The first day was theory, and in depth information regarding all key health and safety aspects, including business set up, cross contamination, hygiene, infection controll/prevention/spread, and of course all aspects of piercing. The second day saw practical work; first on fake skin and then on live models. Regardless of how anxious we were or how much we lacked in confidence, by the end of the weekend we were all competent and had learnt so much knowledge. No question was too big or too small or insignificant, we were all treated fairly with respect and all round wholesomeness. Sunny was an incredible teacher, and dedicated his time to all of us, and still does now. The teaching and support didn't stop when we walked out of the door having passed our exams and passed the course. Not only have we made life long friends with the others on the course, but we have a life long mentor too. The owner, Alan was just as professional, he and Sunny were a really well paired ying and yang, that made the work easy to understand and absorb. TPA has created an incredible course where you feel suppprted, encouraged, cared for and listened to in a very warm, relaxed environment. By far, this is one of the best things I have ever done and I am so glad that I chose this company to start my career with From start to finish, the customer and pupil care has been second to none. Thank you again, to Sammy, Sunny and Alan for their time and dedication to us all, their encouragement and support has meant that I now have the confidence to be successful. Recommend to everybody, this is a phenomenal experience.”

“Having a batman sleeve done by Colin and its looking mint! Top quality tattoos by a top quality guy...colin will keep you chatting till you walk out the door which helps with the pain and sets a welcoming chilled atmosphere!”

“A great experience for my first tattoo and I am so pleased with the result. I cannot recommend highly enough and I will definitely be back.”

“Absolutely loved the cooking together steak night! Facilities, staff, chef were all top notch! A brilliant night out, perfect for a date or a fun evening with a friend or family member. Met some lovely people and the food was delicious. Just received the recipes on email too! Will be making it all again for sure and booking another class ASAP!”

“This brewery outlet and restaurant has a pleasant green setting in Old Glossop with outdoor and indoor seating, helpful staff and imaginative options on the menu, including vegan and veggie ones - a lot of the options are light bites rather than full meals, and of course there are the various house beers. The pictured jerk chicken dish really was divine and as you can see also nicely presented. I liked the chef's dedication and enthusiasm. It's worth going to try some dishes that are a bit different, even if you're not big on beer. On that topic, I haven't the heart to deduct a star for it, but it is a shame that no alcohol-free beer is on offer, and secondly, I once ordered a home-brewed 'Hefeweizen' which is a German-style wheat beer cloudy with yeast in it, and it was served lukewarm. Being firstly German and secondly a refreshing summer drink this type of beer absolutely needs to be consumed properly chilled!”

“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.”

“Needed my MOT done right away and they couldn’t be more helpful. Left my car there over night got a call the next morning to say it was all done. Brilliant quick service. I will recommend them to everyone. Thanks for the quick no fuss service....”

“I am so glad that an AA breakdown man gave me Nigel Snape's name when my Alfa had a small problem. Alfa's are a bit special and different and they need a really specialist garage to care for them and MTVS is definitely that. You can be confident that you will get the best service at the best possible price, no matter what you need doing on your pride and joy.”

“Exceptional service, couldn't do more to help would use again 100%”

“Hands down one of the most trust worthy and friendly garages I have ever come across. Great diagnosis and they went above and beyond to accommodate me. Honestly, if your struggling to find a place that you can rely on... These guys are at the top!! Thanks again”

“Had my MOT here today, really impressed with the service & I will definitely be back again. I also love their little pup, she was so sweet! Thank you very much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“This was my first time I used this garage. I needed to replace a broken spring coil. The manager has been very responsive providing a quote for the job within an hour and managing to do the job within two days. He has been also very friendly and kind to explain all the work done. I'll use them again.”

“Took my 3 series into this place as I was having some EGR and DPF issues. Gave me different options to choose from and answered all the questions I had. Got the car back and it’s running better than ever. Will definitely be going here for anything in future”

“I have serviced my cars here for the last six years. Steve and Team have been excellent, honest, competent and fair professionals to deal with. I highly recommend them on any job on any vehicle make.”
