Dining with friends in Urmston

“Had lovely meal this afternoon with my husband and daughter. The food was delicious and excellent service. Would recommend to friends and family.”

“This place deserves 5 stars. Firstly upon entering the place was greeted by such a lovely and happy Chinese lady. They really do treat you like you are a valued customer. However regardless of this the food. Out of the hundreds of Chinese takeaways I've tried around the uk the food is the BEST. For my order I was told there would be a 15 minute wait. Yes they really did cook everything fresh. Even when I entered the building the lady was making something from scratch. When I got home the food was unbelievable. Sweet and sour chicken, the chicken batter still crispy it was so fresh. And it literally melted in my mouth. The ribs, crispy and extremely meaty, full of meat! The homemade spring rolls were the nicest I've ever tried. Unreal. And everything else we ate was just so fresh and full of flavour Another amazing thing, I didn't get that extreme thirst which you usually get from Chinese takeaways - most likely since the food is homemade and not from packets or jarred sauces. And lastly, pricing. I mean the prices are like they were years ago. Usually a £45 order cost us £29 today I honestly wish that this place gets the recognition it deserves because it really is the best in every possible aspect. Thank you so much pearl garden. I will return whenever I'm nearby”

“A good place for a drink, staff were friendly and pleasant.”

“We went on Saturday 20th Sept despite the terrible weather. Table for four. The food was amazing as always, great choice starters and mains. I often skip lunch when going here to enjoy the duck and pancakes, as well as a main never disappoints. Fillet steak Cantonese is always a good choice. Great service and kindness . They have added an internal porch to reduce drafts for the winter . Very well tested last night in the weather. Enjoyed the evening thank you”

“Came in yesterday at around 7 to grab some food and a quick drink with a friend, Keira on the bar was lovely, very friendly, chatty & pours a lovely pint! Despite having a queue at the bar she still managed to keep a smile on her face and give every guest the best & quickest service possible. She even told us about a great deal on the restaurants app for two for one on the cakes, which we used to get desserts for when we was finished! The food was amazing, we had a farm giant burger and a mixed grill. Wonderfully cooked and presented! Will definitely be returning here!”

“Tried this place out for a change and what a nice surprise. Massive but if cod fries to perfection and excellent chips! I'll be back.”

“Much much improved from the last time. Chips werefantastic. If the large fish was a bit larger it would be perfection.”

“This place thinks they can serve pizza like this and mince pies soggy too”

“Been wanting to go here since they opened, finally got a table. Heard and read great things about this place. I can see now why it's got such high praise and why it's worth waiting to get a booking. From the moment we entered the place was so inviting, the service was excellent. As for the food it was incredible, not one bad course, I opted for the extra course of pheasant, which I'm so glad I did it was one of my favourites. I've been to quite a few tasting menus and this was up there as one of my favourites. The place has a lovely homely family vibe, the chef/owner came out and chatted to us about one of the courses and we ended up chatting for a little, really nice guy. This is such an amazing addition to Urmston and deserves all the success. Get booked in and you won't be disappointed. We will be returning for the next convenient available slot. Been here a few times now and it never disappoints. The food is incredible we went on Sunday for there Sunday roast and it was amazing, every element was off the scale. I'd go for the three courses as the portions aren't huge but well balanced.”

“Such a lovely experience x we sat in to eat … portion sizes good x staff so lovely … reggae music … vibes x loved it x We even left with a piece of chocolate Rum cake xxx so so good x”

“Visit here regular, with my girlfriend. As she rides her horses past this hidden gem! The food is always piping hot and the cakes…. They’re exceptional Wow I’ll leave that there. The drinks are made to exactly how you ask! I always have coconut milk and there’s no questions asked! The owners Dane and Jenny are so friendly and down to earth. Can’t fault it”

“Couldn't star the food as we didn't have any HOWEVER.... the lady who owns The Gallery is an incredible artist and it shows in the decor. Before I go any further, this is also a great bar with lovely cocktails. Stunning is an understatement, there is something interesting to look at everywhere you turn. Inside and outside, just beautiful, a gorgeous place to visit. I just wish she opened every day and night, but alas, only Thursday to Saturday. Friday being the only late one till 10pm. Go and visit, you won't be disappointed.”

“The most perfect coffee, never had a negative experience here. Oat cappuccinos always so tasty:) Often quite loud just because popular with parents+ young children but always a welcoming, cosy atmosphere! One of my go-to cafes!”

“Great veggie breakfast and delicious brew. Very friendly team and lovely atmosphere.”

“Food was fantastic here! And the service was amazing, I would recommend the famous lamb meatballs, but everything we had. Was great and prices are great value for money and what you expect for such high quality food!”

“Pizzas taste amazing, nice amount of variety too. Staff are friendly and attentive. Lovely place”

“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.”

“Came midweek for the early bird menu and it was absolutely beautiful. Came with a friend and her 2kids and the waiting staff were really nice and attentive towards them both, the service was brilliant the food was sublime and the price was solid. Absolutely brilliant early bird midweek deal - Best I've encountered in a long time.”

“Lovely small peaceful family run middle eastern restaurant. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Food is nice and flavoursome in ample portions. Worth a visit for a nice meal.”

“Great Italian in Urmston. We had the lunch special which was great value. We didnt have pasta but I noticed others who did, and had generous portions. Staff were lovely. Restaurant laid out really well. Will definitely return.”

“Special fried rice always tasty and plentiful. Lady in the shop is friendly.”

“Foods lovely here just had a full breakfast and the sausages are great. Very few cafes serve quality food these days but this place is spot on.”

“It was a fantastic time we had, and the staff was ever so helpful and pleasant! Really nice atmosphere too. The meals were gorgeous, we are sure to go back soon for more!”

“Excellent, family-run Italian restaurant that has been open in Urmston for decades. The restaurant is spacious with a quirky décor and delicious food. We were there on a very busy night (Christmas Eve), but we were served by friendly and efficient staff. To start, we had garlic bread and cheese, followed by salmon in a cream and tomato sauce and chicken in a Diane sauce. Both were excellent: the salmon was cooked perfectly, with a light and tasty sauce, and the chicken was moist and flavoursome. I have been coming here for years, and it is always a great experience.”

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

“Cosy pub in a former post office building. Wide range of local and international beers. Events include: pub quiz, poetry night, live music and painting night. I haven't eaten here, but friends have told me it serves good quality, pub-style food. Outdoor seating available. Friendly and efficient staff.”

“Friendly staff, the mixed kebab was out of this world. 5 stars all day long.”

“The all round experience at the Istanbul Grill was excellent. The food was great and plentiful as well as reasonably priced. The Long Island cocktail got a big thumbs up from my partner and the entertainment was great too. Will be back soon”

“Meal banquet for one is excellent value, food is fresh, hot and delicious, service is good, really nice evening with a relaxed atmosphere we will definitely be back”

“Food was so nice. Picture is of a kids meal (chicken goujons, home made chips and beans)”
