“I want to say thank you to Doug for a fantastic recovery for me and I couldn’t recommend Doug and the Altius team enough. I had what originally was seen as a groin injury by the original physio I went to that I got playing football. I ended up at 2 different physio organisations that weren’t Altius, went through 6-8 week groin recovery treatment both times but the issue didn’t go away either time. I went to Doug and Altius and it turned out I had a torn adductor and also a double hernia. Doug put a plan to put a focus on repairing the adductor first, then have surgery on the hernias followed by physio recovery of the hernias surgery. The recovery program was very focussed on building things up, not pushing past where things were ready and ultimately rebuilding strength, flexibility at the right pace. I went from thinking I was probably never going to play football again at times during the injury recovery to now having been back playing for 4 months and have no limitations around mobility and feel great playing again. Very professional, clear on the recovery processes and confident that things would get back to normal after time which helped with my belief about getting back playing again. L”

“Birthday Facial of Dreams!

The lady in M&S ID for wine me after my facial.....I'm 35!!!!! Yassss”

“My daughter has the best time with Jenny at Parsley Pie, she looks forward to every class and comes home filled with inspiration and her many completed projects.”

They are experts in their field, exceptionally professional, and have sharp diagnostic skills to identify issues accurately. They provide practical and effective solutions tailored to each patient. The care and attention to detail they offer are outstanding, making every visit comfortable and stress-free. Highly recommend this clinic for anyone looking for top-notch dental care!”

“The most wonderful shopping weekend I think it's possible to have. Beautiful pastries and fresh bread, a deli counter just how they used to be and a fantastic restaurant with great food and even better service. Why can't all supermarkets be like this?”

“I said can you make it in twenty minutes I’m in a rush, he said he would try, the man got it to me In 15 minutes and it’s the best pizza I’ve had in a while! Can only recommend”

“My daughter has improved greatly in her speech, her eating and her overall development and I have to say it's mostly thanks to the kind and sweet staff at kids planet... I have had a great experience and would recommend anyone to go here...”

“I’ve had and continue to have amazing experiences at SV Aesthetic Clinic. San has provided excellent advice, tailoring treatments to my specific needs. From the initial consultation to the procedures, I felt completely comfortable and confident in her expertise. The results have been fantastic - natural and exactly what I was hoping for.”

“Always an excellent experience at Cresent Dental, Hale. A warm welcome from the reception team, great treatment with the hygienist and Mark is the most personable and professional dentist I have ever been to. I highly recommend!!”

“John notarised a last minute court order for me and did so graciously and with honesty. A genuinely decent service provider who did not take advantage of my desperation when all the other notary public institutions were charging me ridiculous amount to sign the document in question. John gave me sound advice and was genuinely concerned about my circumstance. I cannot thank you enough and would highly recommend to all”

“Lindsay was recommended to me when I was going through a particularly traumatic period during my divorce. It was an extremely stressful and difficult time and often hard to know where to turn for advice on how to cope and deal with the situations I was faced with. Lindsay gave me a safe and confidential space to share all those personal details about what I was going through and how it was affecting me. Not only that but she guided me through my jumbled thoughts and emotions supporting me in identifying how to move forward in the best way for myself and kids. Every session, she picked me up and helped me find the strength to carry on until things got better. She was there during the toughest moments. I highly recommend her to anyone who is faced with the challenges of divorce and the stress and confusion that brings.”

“Perfect little coffee stop for lunch & a quick caffeine hit! In the outskirts of the city for the day, I only had a short hour to find somewhere to eat & drink - Capuchin was the perfect little location! I initially walked past the door the first time, looking inside but being informed to go someplace else (close-by) which was supposedly the place to go... It was meant to be though because this location was being re-furbished & therefore, I came back here & was glad I did. The food was delicious & the coffee even better! I was served quickly with a friendly smile & the food didn't take too long to come out either. I can't remember how much it all came to but it wasn't a bad price & something totally expected for a good quality brunch & coffee. Would return & recommend a lot in what seems to be a competitive little corner (street). Well done guys!”

“Beautiful flowers and fabulous personable service. I can wholeheartedly recommend the little Garden florist without hesitation! We will definitely use your services again, hopefully this time for a happy occasion !”

“These guys are brilliant. Always pick up the phone straight away, clearly explain things, help where possible, and deliver on what they say they’ll do. Prescriptions are always quick and sometimes as early as the next day, and they’ve even given me short term IOUs in the past. They’re all really friendly in the store, and Matthew is brilliant. I can’t recommend them enough!”

“Very friendly staff, excellent food and not expensive. Nice atmosphere, will definitely go back again.”

“Great quality food for a more upscale version of a British lunch. The scallops were outstanding so was the T bone steak in particular as cooked to perfection, but was all great. Lovely restaurant in Hale village and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.”

“Fabulous local store, personal assistance from wonderful staff. Helpful, polite and friendly. A chemist that reminds you of the good old days. 10/10 - (Karen is very helpful). Keep up the great work!”

“Great local pub, traditional in appearance. Good selection of tv screens to watch sport. Lovely calling in on a Sunday afternoon or an early evening. It’s gets really busy late on at weekends with a good atmosphere.”

“Took our 14 weeks old puppy to find a suitable harness because he pulls too much on the lead. Was looked after by Nicola who seemed to have an encyclopaedic knowledge on the subject. Plus she had the skill to handle our boisterous puppy. We walked away with a suitable harness - happy dog owners and a relaxed puppy. The shop also holds a free puppy get together every Saturday which is great fun. The shop has been a great discovery. :)”

“We love it at The Hale Pizza Express. We come on a weekly basis knowing we will be warmly greeted by Massimo. The food is always perfect and tweaked to our liking. It’s a nice touch knowing our order and having personal conversation. Couldn’t recommend Massimo and his team of friendly waiters and top notch pizza chefs enough. 6 stars”

“Had a lovely experience at the village cafe today, was greeted by the lovely waitress ella who seated us immediately alll the staff were so lovely and there was no wait with our food, which tasted absolutely amazing i ordered the Breakfast wrap which was absolutely delicious and the smoothie was so yummy. So impressed with the team here!”

“Really well kept, good facilities. Great trainers. My son loves his lawn tennis sessions and gets loads of encouragement from his trainers. It's indoors too so no worries about cancellation of sessions due to rough weather”

“This is a little gem of a park. It is small but wonderful. There is a lovely little cafe it really good value for money as well. We got three meals (toasties and jacket potatoes) three drinks and a toasted teacakes and it was just over £20. The food was lovely. We had a walk round the lake and park. Fully wheelchair accessible too. Parking is street parking but we had no issues. We went on a Sunday. Will be going back agaon”

“I recently used Blackstone Solicitors for both the sale of my old home and the purchase of my new one, and I can honestly say the service was outstanding from start to finish. The entire process was completely stress-free thanks to their amazing residential team, who were incredibly friendly, professional, and always willing to help. We’ve now settled into our new home and couldn’t be happier. A huge thank you to everyone at Blackstone—highly recommended for anyone looking for a smooth and supportive property transaction!”

“Brilliant, been going since I was 5, now over 60 haha...that's a lot of years of trust in a dentist”

“My son has finished his first year of reception and it’s been a good experience. Our hope was that he’d find a friendly and diverse environment where any learning needs could be quickly identified and addressed. Although our primary focus was an emphasis good pastoral care and holistic development versus pure academic targets, we’ve been happy to note that he performs well above a broad group of his peers in this aspect. He has been stretched in areas where he was strong and supported in those he currently struggled with. As a consequence, he no longer finds mathematics onerous and takes pleasure in demonstrating his skills. We look forward to his pursuing opportunities in music and on the sports field in the coming years. A welcome bonus has been making new friends with other parents from a wide range of backgrounds. Accepting that we may be biased given the wealth of excellent state primary schools in Trafford, overall our experience with the school has been a good one, supporting our choice for an independent school in general and St Ambrose in particular.”
