“Swing north is a fun and friendly place to go to learn to swing dance and meet new people. It is brilliantly run, totally inclusive, with new fun lessons and events being introduced regularly! A fantastic community of kind and musical people. A joy to be part of!”

“From the moment we arrived carol provided a safe and comfortable environment for Dylan our Cockerpoo.We were promptly notified when Carol had finished and Dylan came out smelling and looking amazing! He is quite a nervous dog at times .but Carol took time and care to reassure us and Dylan . The Woof Bar totally adheres to covid hygiene standards and I would have no hesitation in recommending Carol for your dog groom.”

“First time I've been here, and it was incredible. We weren't planning on going here but our original restaurant was closed. The service was great, really friendly team members. The choice of cocktails and ales was fantastic, with alcohol free options. The pizza was absolutely delicious. I had the mushroom and truffle with a blossom spritz. My son wasn't a fan of his margarita, but that's probably because it's not filled with crap! If I'm ever back in the area, I'll definitely be returning.”

“Lovely butty & service. Thank you”

“Amazing home cooked food, such great balanced flavours and truly delicious, healthy menu. Tasted like real Eastern European cooked in the home, which is actually what the lovely host told us: all cooked by his wife. Unbelievable desert, nothing was too heavy, but rich and layered tastes. Wine didn't disappoint either. Looking forward to trying again!”

“Our second visit and again, an absolutely fantastic evening! Superb food, all 3 courses were fantastic just like last time. The house red is brilliant too! The pasta and pizza were great and the ricotta cheesecake was to die for! So so good! Outdoor dinning was lovely in the courtyard. Already looking forward to going back again soon! Highly recommend, gluten free and vegan options available. Perfect for couples and families. It’s an absolute little gem!”

“Wow! Food and Service absolutely amazing. My Gyros Platter was unreal and my wife had the Kleftico which was amazing. Best food we have eaten in a long time and the owners were so welcoming. We will definitely be back.”

“Always a warm welcome and even the customers are friendly. The coffee is the best in Manchester. The homemade cakes are delicious but get there early as they can sell out especially if I’ve been in. Ashtons best kept secret.”

“Fantastic Bar with amazing people running it, and such a friendly crowd inside all round great atmosphere. Superb drink choice, with beers (north/ South my favourite) and cocktails a plenty (Gin Bramble my wifes favourite). They really go all out to look after you and your dogs too. My pug loves going, I have a pint she has some biscuits!”

“I have been coming to Jade for my hair for the last 10 years and wouldn’t trust anyone else. My hair is always perfect and all the girls at the salon are really friendly and it is a lovely atmosphere. I would recommend Bespoke to anyone x”

“Jasanmol was lovely, I had a brow wax and tint very last minute and she was able to fit me in. She talked me through the process and then always asked if it was ok before she applied the wax/ tint. We had a lovely chat too!”

“Amanda is fantastic. Not only are my brows flawless, I actually look forward to having my brows done. It’s a great experience, highly recommend!”

“Jasanmol was lovely, I had a brow wax and tint very last minute and she was able to fit me in. She talked me through the process and then always asked if it was ok before she applied the wax/ tint. We had a lovely chat too!”

“Kân did my brows today. A wonderful, gentle experience filled with laughter and joy. Exactly what you expect from Benefit. Very skilled and knowledgable about the service and exactly which products would complement my skin type and tone. Will definitely be booking back in on my next trip to Manchester.”

“Very impressive service. Walked in, seen to straight away. I went in with an idea of what I wanted and the results were above and beyond what I wanted. Very affordable and really efficient. Will definitely go back when I’m in the area. Thank you so much for my Christmas nails!”

“Lovely Saturday morning breakfast - all four guests chose different options and really enjoy them. Very friendly staff. Already planning the next visit!”

“Came here for our anniversary meal and it honestly was the best meal we have had! The staff were incredible throughout the night, and whilst we didn’t get their names, the young, blonde lady and the middle aged, olive skinned gentleman who served us a glass of bubbly each were amazing. The food is to die for and trust me you will not be going hungry when you leave. Thank you for making our night an unforgettable experience!”

“Incredible full English. Everything was cooked to perfection. Nice atmosphere. Great value. Recommend.”

“We have loved coming to this restaurant over the last couple of years. Have had excellent service and great food at a good price. Since lockdown, we have ordered takeaway from here a few times and even though they are busy, their service has still been excellent! You have been the highlight of our day today... thank you!”

“Fantastic Moroccan food. Amazing food and atmosphere. Great central location with the train station steps away and parking within walking distance.”

“The best Spanish restaurant!! Always on top of the quality and the service is amazing! If you want to have a quick trip to Spain without paying a expensive airline this is the place”

“Dishoom Spinningfields is one of my favourite restaurants in Manchester. When it first opened back in 2018, it was Dishoom’s first restaurant in Northern England, and since then they’ve set a remarkable standard of both food and service quality and certainly left me coming back for more. The interior is super impressive, cool and unique. Dishoom is based on the old Irani cafés in Bombay, and the interior is so large and feels like no other restaurant in the city. My go-to dishes are the Chicken Ruby with Basmati Rice and occasionally the Gunpowder Potatoes. The portion sizes are generous, and the rich spices of the curry are super good — it’s obvious they use great quality ingredients and seasonings. For drinks, again the selection is vast, with my favourites being the regular Chai and the Mango Lassi, which are both really good. There is always a staff member walking around topping up tap water, so you’ll never go thirsty. The pricing is a little high, but I feel it is worth it for the quality. Matka Holders can also roll a dice at the end of their meal to potentially earn everything for free, food and alcohol included, during certain times. This makes it all fun, being able to put the meal on the roll of a dice. Due to having an allergy, I can scan a QR code on the menu for the latest information, and all the staff members are well trained in dealing with allergies. They’re aware of coeliac disease and the danger of cross-contamination, and always keep my items separate from my friends’ when I dine in a group. Overall, this is one of the places to be in Manchester if you’re looking for good food with fantastic allergy awareness, overall ambience/vibes, food and service quality. It’s a place that you can go for a special occasion or even a quick lunch (although a lunch menu / meal-deal offer would make it even more enticing for sure!).”

“Great value, large portions and very tasty food served very quickly.”

“Excellent gem in culcheth village. We had lunch with all dishes being fantastic and the buffalo chicken one of the best if not the best I’ve ever had. Superb for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or just evening drinks and a place to celebrate! Really attentive and friendly service staff who the owners are lucky to employ.”

“Really enjoyed the food and coffee, didn't try the cake as the new girl forgot to come back over with the options.”

“The updated coffee bar is the best place in middleton to go for a drink and bite to eat the service is 5* and the food is amazing!. Would highly recommend popping in one day where you'll be greated with open arms and a smile!.”

“The best cafe in the area, the food is amazing, great variety, freshly prepared. Very good prices, staff always so friendly. I really should go more often”
