“***Updated review 28.08.2025*** Food still high quality, super tasty. Incredible value. The mesquite wings are the bomb. The house flavoured chips are just spot on. Theses guys know how to flavour. The dough give me a reason to live. ______________________________________________ Best pizza. Great dough base. Quality ingredients, made with care. Reasonable.”

“Couldn't get through to our normal pizza place this evening. My friend had mentioned Twelve previously so we decided to try it and were very impressed. As others have said, staff are friendly and the food fresh. It is also the best pizza I have had for years - certainly the best I have had in the UK. I very rarely give 5 stars but they are worth it.”

“Never fails to disappoint. All home cooked, fresh and good portion sizes. Always a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended.”

“I absolutely love this restaurant! I can’t find this kind of flavor anywhere else. My boyfriend and I come here all the time, and it never disappoints. The food is super DELICIOUS with truly AUTHENTIC Thai flavours. Prices are really affordable, and the staff are always so friendly. Highly recommend checking out HOT THAI—you’ll love it!”

“We have had takeaway and always enjoyed the meals, and they always arrive hot. We decided to go for lunch on a Saturday, we ordered the thali and sorry the other meal I forget the name of, it was all outstanding, very tasty....the service as always, was very friendly and welcoming...”

“✨Amazing Indian Vegetarian / Vegan Cafe✨ We visited for the first time today as my partner is obsessed with Chai at the moment. For drinks I had the biscoff coffee shake which was sensational, the coffee wasn’t too overpowering and the roast / blend choice was delicious. My partner had the home brewed Masala Chai which he thoroughly enjoyed, and the pot of tea he received was massive! (We stayed a bit longer just so he could finish it as it was that good) For mains we had the Indian breakfast muffin (vegan sausage, Indian spiced hash browns, and a bbq tamarind chutney) and the Chai Buckwheat pancakes which came with syrup and berries. I thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich, the chutney was amazing and really pulled everything together. Though I didn’t try the pancakes they were gone within minutes. Both me and my partner agreed portion sizes were bob on, we felt full without feeling overly lethargic. Though we didn’t have the opportunity to try them the cakes and Indian deli looked delicious. Our entire meal with drinks cost under £20 which I think is ridiculously reasonably priced considering the quality and portion sizes of the food and drink. (Not to mention the very quick service!) It is also worth noting they seemed to have an extensive ice cream range. All staff were super friendly, the woman serving us really seemed to care about our experience there and we were given customer service you can’t simply buy without there being a true passion for what she was serving. I would highly recommend dining here, and we look forward to visiting again.”

“The Best Thai Takeaway I’ve ever had! Tried this place off the back of the reviews. Really pleased I did! Fantastic, authentic Thai food. Very friendly people. Great value. It will now become my go-to for Thai food. Restaurant quality food at take away prices!! Very impressed and greatful for the great food. Thank you”

“Would highly recommend for its sublime food and friendly staff. Service certainly isn’t ‘fast food’ (possibly still learning the ropes..!) but very pleasant atmosphere to enjoy time between courses. We (table of 4) sat at 7pm Saturday night, and had the bill at 8:45pm and enjoyed 2 delicious courses each. BYOB executed well, with glasses and corkscrew provided on arrival. Food very reasonably priced for what you get. Thanks guys, awesome meal!”

“The best Lebanese food and my new favourite place in Stockport! Food is always 10/10 owner/staff are super friendly and helpful too. Would recommend trying their large meat tray and getting a bit of everything.”

“A few of us ate here for Sunday dinner recently. The food was lovely & there is a wide selection on the menu & we were well looked after by the staff. I would strongly advise booking.”

“We had wanted to try this place for a while but never got round to it. So glad we finally did as the food is amazing. Backed up by lovely friendly service. Great little restaurant and we’ve already been back twice. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

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

“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”

“Great to have the options of light, healthy Indian lunch dishes full of fabulous flavours. Lovely service too!”

“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!”

“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.”

“What a place to perform and see great entertainment! The joy of La Boom is that they’ve created an amazing environment for performers to thrive. Great equipment, great facilities and staff that look after you. The acts love it there and therefore they make the effort to put on their best shows for the crowd. Look out Stockton Heath, this is your destination venue for dinner and a show!”

“Recently moved into the area and always pop in before my morning train to work. Amazing coffee & the guys are very friendly. Would highly recommend.”

“Nipped in for a quick lunch. The owner is the friendliest lady in the world and is so on the ball even when it’s super busy. Food lovely & great selection of cakes. Been in a couple of times now and it’s always the same.”

“Lovely cafe open end of the week with excellent coffee and brownies/cake. I also highly recommend the breakfast bagel! Staff voulenteers are so helpful and great community atmosphere.”

“If you're looking for a delightful little coffee shop with a fantastic atmosphere, great food, and a wonderful atmosphere, look no further, The North Coffee Shop is owned by John who has many years of experience and makes mouth watering food, he is incredibly friendly and has created a wonderful warm and inviting atmosphere, there is something for everyone and all made with love by John himself. He runs Greek nights also and the dishes are fantastic, with loads of variety. I would highly recommend anyone to drop in and sample some of John's tasty treats, you won't be disappointed xx”

“Great beer and great service. The staff are always so friendly and accommodating.”

“Stunning food, excellent atmosphere and absolutely amazing service from really friendly staff, could not recommend enough”

“I just happened upon this place as I was walking along the canal at Broadheath. A young couple were sitting on the tow path eating a pizza. “Is it good?” I asked. “Delicious” was the reply. Decided to give it a go. The owner was a delightful fella who is clearly passionate about the food he is serving. Other customers in the place were all there due to “word by mouth”. The menu has the usual stalwarts but also more authentic pizzas too. I had the Friarielli & Nduja. Delicious. The pizza dough was the freshest and lightest that I have EVER had. I felt that I’d had an authentic pizza made by someone who cares rather than a portion-controlled production line made by an employee of a massive company paying minimum wage. A wonderful discovery and I shall visit again. They have a bigger premises in Sale btw. Ciao.”

“fantastic place, been here twice in the past 2 months. gave my boyfriend free tiramisu”

“The kindest chef, was open late and still prepped fresh and delicious food. The perfect spot for a Japanese craving as the menu is stacked. Can’t recommend enough.”

“Great food, nice vibe and good service.”

“Great Brunch place! Had a brioche with avocado, scrambled egg and spicy mayo. Was very delicious and portions were big! Service was also very friendly.”

“The best Curry I have ever had! Amazing value for money and the owner (pictured) is super accommodating, as he often allows me to switch an item for something else! As a regular customer, I get greeted with a drink on the house and a big smile too! The food is top quality, and so is the service. Freshly cooked with a 5-star food hygiene rating. I highly recommend onion Bhaji and Meat Samosa!”

“Small hidden gem, cosy atmosphere. Staff attentive and quick service. We both had burgers, The Smoker & The Texan Show Stopper.....wow. The flavours of both were great, the portion sizes were spot on. Will be back, would reccomend to others.”
