Cafe in Stretford

“We moved to the area around a year ago and our estate agent told us to go here for dinner to celebrate. We didn't get round to it then, but we should've! We came with a group and tried every dish on the menu. There honestly wasn't one average dish, they were all perfectly cooked, creative and beautifully presented. We asked everyone around the table which was their favourite dish and got back at least 6 different answers, so there really is something for everyone. Price wise, I think it's very reasonable. We walked out stuffed, and had wine and desserts for £50/per person roughly.”

“Great cafe 10 minute drive from chill factore / Trafford centre. Small / medium sized cafe, no booking taken over the phone for breakfast, first come first served. We arrived @ 11am and it was very busy. Had to wait about 20 mins for a table but was absolutely worth it and staff where polite and kept us updated whilst we waited. Brunch menu served till 12.30 Cooked breakfast / loaded potato skins / smoked salmon & egg / pancakes etc…. Went for the big cooked breakfast which was truly superb. Hashbrowns i think are home made, and lovely, as re the Cumberland sausage etc. The whole thing was big and filling Would definitely recommend and will return again.”

“the only place in manchester that knows how to make a good barm!!! forever my lunch spot!!!!!!”

“I eat here once or twice a week. Consistently friendly staff. And unlike some cafés in this price range they are happy to substitute alternative items for no extra cash on their set meals. They have a veggie breakfast, which I've not tried, but I have no idea how vegan their veggie meals are. Well placed for a meal or a quick cuppa when changing from bus to tram at Trafford Bar, but get there before 2 as they close at half past!”

“We came to eat at the cafe last night for my daughter's birthday treat before a stadium tour today. Food was lovely and homemade, staff were so friendly and accommodating. She got a card and balloons and the sweet station was a huge highlight. Really would recommend and will hopefully be back one day.”

“AKA...The Vegan Sting! I love this place. The food here is fantastic. They will accommodate changes to give a gluten free option. The couple that own this place are so lovely. Just thinking about this vegan junk food makes me salivate. I can't wait to visit again.”

“A great place with a really dedicated staff. The only downside is that they are victims of their own success, so sometimes you have to wait a little but that’s usually a good sign of quality”

“Absolutely superb. What a great start to the day, from the welcome to the service & after service. I was served by a gentleman called Dillion, he really understands his customers and was exemplary in which he held himself whilst attending to his customers, from observation he anticipated customers needs and was well presented, well spoken & polite. Food was fresh and piping hot. Served with care. He and his colleagues made our visit such a lovely experience. Thank you and see you all soon.”

“Amazing food for a supermarket cafe! Had to take my car in to the garage next door so had no way of getting back until it was fixed so popped in for some food. Really unexpected to be honest. I had hallumi burger with chilli jam and lettuce with peri peri fries (I know right) then to finish I had a salted caramel flapjack and my mum had mince pie bakewell, really delicious, she says the best she's ever had. Staff were nice and service was efficient.”

“Love this little cafe in the food Hall. Arrived at a great time when food was being reduced in the store too so we got some bargains for dinner later”

“Visited there after Manchester marathon. İt was nice to have a cup of hot beverage after a long day.”

“Kane is an amazing individual and a great cup of coffee. I found him through his tues-thurs at fell bar in chorlton and now I’m a regular at both. Great person, great coffee, would 100% recommend!”

“The best home made vanilla slice I've had. Good luck in your new home Uplift”

“What a fantastic little roastery. I picked up a flat white and a bag of beans from them at Bolton food festival and I honestly can't stop ordering their coffee since. They've got a great range of coffee in their online shop that have become a staple at home, and are great for a wide range of brewing methods. I can't wait to try their cafe next! Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a local roastery in Manchester, especially love their atomic fable.”

“Great little bar , well worth a visit, good variety of beers.”

“Me and my partner started coming here over 2 years ago, we had walked past seeing “cocktails, coffee and pizza” which my partner turned to say it’s a place made for me (I often have a cocktail, water and coffee when out). We have been on sunny days in their outside area and inside - both carry the amazing by atmosphere and impeccable music taste. The staff are friendly and maintain really good service, very relaxed and chilled vibes no matter what time of year. Families, friends and dogs are welcome too! The food - we have tried many of their options but have come to have a standard order of the pepperoni hot honey pizza and pumpkin base with ‘nduja and cheese pizza . These are amazing, the dough is unlike most other places, that the crust alone is something to look forward too. The pumpkin is a personal fave, again hard to find else where and even if you can it’s nowhere near as moreish! They also have amazing vegan and gluten free options - which I have tried the vegan, and again, amazing quality and taste. They do have dessert options- the baked cheesecake is also a must try, not normally a fan of them but I for sure have been won. Sad to see this little place go but well deserved and excited to see the new place just down the road! Hoping it goes well and will be back when it opens!”

“Very cool bar with awesome music. Sometimes allows dancing on the weekend, if the crowd is right. Pool table too but often in use by locals. Friendly crowd, nice staff, great DJs. Toilets upstairs.”

“This was the best cooked breakfast I’ve had in a long time. We were just travelling through and this was a chance lucky find. Would definitely go back”

“We hosted my partner's 30th here over the weekend and I cannot say a big enough thank you to the Tap! From start to finish, everyone was incredible. Paul was super helpful and responsive and the bar staff were amazing. We all had a great time, thanks so much!”

“What is not to like! Great food, quick service, good prices...... all with a smiling Nila behind the face of the business! This is a frequent place for me and a number of my collegues to go for lunch and I cannot recommend it enough. I would suggest getting the mixed curries to take advantage of as much of the menu as possible.”

“Delicious food at great value prices, and lovely friendly staff who always make you feel welcome. If you're lucky you'll get a yummy free sample too!”

“Really tasty food and great service in a homey atmosphere. The young woman at the front was very kind! Would highly recommend!!!”

“Good food that is competitively priced. This is a community venture, so we'll worth supporting as the profits go to the community cafe.”

“Great atmosphere, bingo on Tuesday/Thursday is grat fun . Friendly staff always lots going on would recommend”

“Pizzas here are off the charts. That said I have never seen a pizza chart so I guess my statement applies to all pizza. Nevertheless they do great pizza, cash only, and only sterling like,.no Euro.”

“I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better person than Macory to celebrate my son Liam’s birthday with. From the moment we walked into the Man Utd Red Café, he made us feel so special. He had the table set up beautifully and was there every step of the way, making sure Liam and his friends were happy, excited, and truly enjoying themselves. The kids absolutely adored him — and the other parents were just as impressed by his kindness and care. He went above and beyond in every single detail, and because of him, Liam had the most magical day. Thank you, Macory, for giving us memories we will treasure forever.”

“The restaurant has a charming and cozy ambiance, making it a lovely spot for a relaxed meal. The menu is diverse and caters to a wide range of preferences, including vegetarian options. The service was excellent, especially thanks to Anamika, who served us with kindness and warmth. We tried the Legit Burger, which was delicious, along with the flavorful basmati rice, mac and cheese, and a variety of vegetables. Everything was well-prepared and satisfying. Despite visiting on a Thursday evening, the restaurant wasn’t crowded, and we didn’t have to wait for a table. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with great food and attentive service. Highly recommended!”

“Went in today after visiting BOSS, and I didn’t look back simply because of the quality and fantastic service by Chris. Very welcoming with a friendly approachable and went through many clothes with me. I spent well over my budget and worth every penny. I will on out be shopping here now, no more Cheshire oaks for me. Thanks Chris”
