Fine wine selection in Manchester

“Been to two of these events and YDSA is hands down the best, most inclusive LGBTQ+ night in Manchester! Well organised event in fun venues. Multiple floors of different music. Great diverse crowd. Dancers and music on point.”

“Scott has been walking my dog, Rupert, for nearly 1.5 years. He started doing puppy visits initially until he was vaccinated which he then joined the group walks. Throughout it all Scott has been amazing with him and Rupert gets so excited every time he gets picked up! The best touch on it is the updates via Instagram stories where I can see my little boy running around being happy. I highly recommend the value of the service for the price compared to doggy day care.”

“Highly recommended for dog walking and pet sitting. Just moved few months ago, and we´ve been so lucky to came across with Fraser. He is taking care of our two dogs daily for a walk and home sitting them some nights every month. Both of the dogs are rescued and it is not easy to get close to them or gain their confidence and every time they see Fraser they are happy and go to kiss him. He is got a natural affinity with dogs. He is organised and friendly and keeps communication regular which made our first days leaving them easier for us. One of the times I was away and he was pet sitting them they went stomach sick and he looked after them while keeping me updated with everything. So always know they are in safe hands with Fraser. We get peace of mind leaving our dogs with him as we know that he really cares about them.”

“***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.”

“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...”

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

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

“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!”

“Delightful little cafe. Food was excellent, we chose the Coronation Chicken on an open bloomer. The best coronation sandwich I ever had. Prices are also very reasonable. Owner and staff very friendly. Will go again.”

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

“Great range of wines for all budgets and all top quality. You are spoilt for choice great shop.”

“Everything about this place is first class! Amazing delicious food, attention to detail Presentation of food, tables, staff is all excellent. Staff are amazing all smiley, happy and talk to you, which you don’t get very often! Special thanks to the lovely, good looking Sag on the service provided, we will definitely see you again!”

“Great food, staff were friendly and attentive. Will go again”

“I asked Ali if he could cater for a family gathering I was having at home. I could not have been happier with the wonderful food that was made for us. Every single item was delicious. The lamb shoulder was super tender, the chicken was delicious as was the gravy made from scratch! Loved the sides. Tiramisu and rice pudding were the perfect two desserts to keep everyone happy! Thank you Ali and the team - I wouldn’t think twice about going for this again.”

“Fantastic Moroccan food. Amazing food and atmosphere. Great central location with the train station steps away and parking within walking distance.”

“Beautiful, fine-dining restaurant with fabulous food, cooked by very talented chefs, and a wonderfully attentive service/front of house team. Thank you so much for making my aunt's 90th birthday such a special one and kindly allowing us to bring our own cake which was brought to the table in perfect timing and then cut for us beautifully. A family favourite of ours! 'Adult family' favourite, I may add. I wouldn't say it was a 'young family restaurant' as such. More of an adult dining experience, especially perfect for special events. To me, it feels special without being pretentious. The staff have always been incredibly kind, friendly and helpful; wanting you to enjoy your time with them. Thank you again. I know we'll be back! :)”

“Great value, large portions and very tasty food served very quickly.”

“What a gem of a place. This is one of the most authentic and pleasent Italian places I had the pleasure to eat at in a very long time. Let's say that if I lived in theare me and my girlfriend would most definitely weight a few more stones/Kgs. As well as the food it is cosy, attentive stuff, quick enough service (to not make you think they want you out of the door) definitely a must try.... Book of you can as space is limited.”

“Food is exceptional, I can't stop thinking about the my risotto marinara and for dessert, pistachio semifreddo on special is to die for! They have a small parking which was full when we got there on Sat evening, we had to find on-street parking elsewhere. Though we got a table just fine without reservation”

“Excellent gem in culcheth village. We had lunch with all dishes being fantastic and the buffalo chicken one of the best if not the best I’ve ever had. Superb for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or just evening drinks and a place to celebrate! Really attentive and friendly service staff who the owners are lucky to employ.”

“I went to umezushi for my birthday meal with my closest friends. It definitely lived up to all of my expectations! Such a small & cosy place with truly phenomenal food, both in variety and in quality. We feasted on miso, handrolls, sashimi, sushi and desert... and I was blown away with every aspect. The staff were warm and knowledgeable which always helps. Definitely one to try for any sushi aficionados!”

“A great little bar with a good selection of changing beers on draught and an extensive selection of bottled beers which you can also drink in the bar with a small additional charge. There is some outside seating too. Well worth a visit if you are in Prestwich.”

“Superb range of beers and good stock, prices all very fair”

“Friendly staff and a great range of interesting drinks, particularly ales. Decent selection of gins, including Forest Gin at a fair price (a particular favourite of mine which isn't always easy to get hold of). A good place for buying gifts for anybody who likes booze.”

“Absolutely amazing food at very reasonable prices. Went with my wife and daughter and we all enjoyed our food. Great selection of wine. Excellent service. Have recommended to all my friends and family.”

“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!”

“Very good food, highly recommend to anyone and everyone. Everything was perfect”

“The best little Italian restaurant this side of New York.... Or Italy. Wonderful food and exceptional service....attention to detail for our anniversary meal... Even buying us a gift and card. Will be a regular place to eat out for us.”

“We decided the kitchen would be closed today so ordered out. Brief conversation on messenger and order placed. The food that came was brilliant. Really tasty and well cooked Definitely recommended”

“Fantastic Somali Arab Halal spot close to Rusholme and Fallowfield area. Generous portion and careful with green chili sauce, taste amazing with a big kick! The service is impeccable!”
