“Very friendly and knowledgeable”

“Great little buttie van top food and lovely staff”

“Fabulous gym. I started 6 years ago when my son was in a ninjas class to fill the time, I go 3-4 times a week now and it’s been amazing for my fitness and energy. I’ll be going for black belt at my next grading! It’s totally inclusive, everyone is encouraged to reach their best regardless of age, fitness level etc. Lots of different classes to choose from in timetable and great facilities. Top class coaches who invest in all students. My daughter goes now as well and she loves it. Welcoming, respectful culture. Very lucky to have this place round the corner. I’d recommend it to anyone.”

“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.”

“Amazing! We went last week and could not fault it. My only regret is not going sooner. The prawns and Carbonara were incredible - highly highly recommend! Very reasonably priced as well :)”

“Lovely little hidden gem of a cafe. Really tasty food & drinks, a great atmosphere. I've lived in Mossley all my life and only found out about the existence of this place recently, but I'm definitely glad I did. Went back today (my third visit) to find a new menu. Food still of a very good quality, but I preferred the breakfast sandwich that was on the old menu. The crispy potato skins were a strange addition. I'm all for not throwing away food, but they weren't something I'd try again.”

“This cafe is the best cafe I’ve been to. The staff is amazing with my son and always have a good chat when we go. We normally go every weekend and the food is 10/10. Thank you so much for being friendly having amazing food and being the best cafe in Mossley. ❤️❤️❤️”

“Food and Thorn Bistro, led by Nicky and her wonderful team, catered our end-of-year team lunch and delivered directly to our offices in Piccadilly, Manchester. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The quality of the food was fantastic, beautifully presented, incredibly flavourful, and clearly prepared with great care. Every dish not only tasted amazing but looked spectacular, taking our event to the next level and making it a truly special occasion. Nicky was an absolute delight to work with. Her professionalism, warm communication, and attention to detail made the entire process seamless. The delivery and service were exceptional, and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. We will definitely be choosing the Food and Thorn team again in the future. I cannot recommend them highly enough for any event big or small!”

“Love this place. Proper full English breakfasts, afternoon teas. When you’re finished, take home fabulous cakes, buns and pastries. We’ve been many times. Great place. Went for ABBA night last night, had a great time. Loved it.”

“Very clean , very helpful the beef And tomato We have just collected was absolutely Delic. Ious”

“We have only ever had the take aways when we want to treat ourselves. We have lived in Saddleworth almost 8 years now and we have really struggled to find a decent Indian restaurant, it has always been hit and miss. There was never any consistency, sometimes good, sometimes bad…HOWEVER I think this is by far our favourite place! We keep going back! The poppadoms are always amazing, every single time, not full of oil and greasy tasting, their Lime Pickle is gorgeous and the food is delicious. The lamb chops are a favourite and you can tell there is no cheat, they have been properly marinating in the delicious spices. The tandoori spices must be a family secret, to die for. Most definitely recommend if you want a genuine taste of India. And it is a plus there is minimal plastic waste:)”

“Perfect cafe and open on a Sunday morning. Winner all round”

“Went here Saturday at 12.30, it was a table for 4 and we were seen to our table by a friendly waitress, ordered our meals which took about half an hour, which I thought was good and when they arrived they were all piping hot. Couldn't find fault at all like some of the other reviews, will definitely be back. Lovely little pub. Thank you”

“Excellent Italian with some unusual non standard dishes and specials plus an extensive drinks menu and wine list. We had a lovely evening and three course meal. Thought prices were reasonable too.

“Is totally great pub with totally nice people and a great landlord if you are ever in Ashton pop into the halfway house and enjoy yourselves”

“I had the most incredible dining experience at The Roaches Lock on Sunday! The food was absolutely delicious. The service was outstanding throughout the meal. The waitress kept checking in with us to see if we required more drinks or needed anything else. I can't wait to come back and try more items from their menu. Definitely a new favourite restaurant for me and my family!”

“Myself and my son go in here for his hour lunch break and the food is really nice and cooked to perfection.”

“Called in for a muffin and a coffee, Blueberry muffin was lovely. Very clean inside. Little overpriced and staff could have been a bit more enthusiastic.”

“First time my husband and I have visited here. We decided to treat ourselves to a large Sunday breakfast and we can assure you we were not disappointed. The food was excellent, cooked to order, beautifully presented and tasted amazing. We highly recommend and will definitely visit again in the near future. Date of our visit 1st October 2023. See you again Tony & Marjorie Lowe”
