Friendly bar in Wythenshawe

“Highly recommended. Came to bring friend to Birmingham tried here food as nearest chippy and freshly cooked, nice gentleman and for the price excellent value. Just wished it was nearer to me in Birmingham”

“Food was delicious, hot, so tasty. Great portion size. The driver was so lovely, when my son answered the door he asked for me which is great because I've had people take other takeaways that I've ordered. All round excellent service and really great quality food. They even sent garlic and herb dips which were so so good. Highly recommend. Thank you”

“I've been coming here for over four years and I think they are very good at waxing eyebrows. I find the comments made about staff being rude and shouting hard to believe, as that's something I've never experienced or seen. If anything the way some customers speak to the staff I consider to be rude. Hardly hear people saying thank you or please. Manners work both ways.”

“Good quality food. They added a few freebies as well. Food came piping hot and was great taste. Recommended ordering from here ☺️”

“Very nice food would recommend great prices and extremely friendly service”

“***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.”

“Tucked away in Wythenshawe, near the airport, this spot is a true hidden gem. The food is superb, offering great portion sizes and outstanding value for money. What sets them apart is their dedication to authentic Thai cooking, using quality ingredients and clearly pouring their heart into every dish. For the price point, this is easily the best Thai experience in Manchester. The staff and owners are wonderfully friendly, and the service is great.”

“Super helpful and friendly woman on, helped me decide my drink as I was unsure and picked one that was really nice. Quality is very good compared to some others I have tried, strawberry green tea was super tasty with the strawberry boba. Very reasonably priced, I would 100% recommend this place, if you haven’t tried you are missing out!”

“Absolute gem of a place. Stumbled across it whilst looking for some chips for my son after visiting the nearby park. The place was really cosy and staff very friendly. I can't believe how cheap the prices are. Portion size was huge. Food was fresh, tasty and hot. Had a lovely fireplace and toys for children to play with. I ordered for takeout but you can dine in.”

“Honestly where do I start the food is so nice always warm and fresh and the lovely staff give you free cheesy garlic bread if you spend to much which is so kind so I highly recommend you try here because the staff are really nice as well”

“This coffee shop is so cute. It’s become a regular for me and a friend on Wednesday mornings. Coffee and cakes are great. Meeting Lydia (the volunteer) has been such a pleasure. I think she’s brilliant. ( I hope your driving lesson went well!). I’m looking forward to Wednesday already, I must be as I never leave reviews!!!”

“So friendly as soon as I walked in and did an amazing job with my nails. Already booked in to go back and see makes a cracking cup of tea!”

“This is the best groomers in manchester I've been using them for years wonderful service all round .”

“Everything was fantastic!! We had a private family function and everything went smoothly, the food was delicious the atmosphere was amazing and the vibes unmatched. Hajer and the team were amazing and very accommodating, made the process stress free and everything ran smoothly from decor to food timings and music. Family and friends had nothing but praise. I cannot recommend enough, will definetly be having future functions here.”

“Thank you to John and the team for a lovely place for a wake. Nice space, good booze and a fully vegetarian buffet as requested. John was great throughout. Thank you, Danny”

“Lovely pub, great staff and a really nice outdoor garden area! It had sports playing on 3 different TV’s and the prices were very reasonable, will definitely visit again when I’m in the area!”

“Not from the area and looking for somewhere for a bite to eat and to watch the football. Very happy to have found the Firbank. Great service from the friendly staff, food was spot on (Hot and Spicy Chicken Burger). Would definitely recommend.”

“Popped in whilst visiting a friend on my birthday & bumped into an old work colleague & friend of mine Sara! She’s working in the right place as she’s really lively & great with the locals. Absolutely made my visit that more enjoyable & I know she’s regular on the Karaoke too, Always the entertainer!. Great place for private events too plus socialising in the main pub with pool table in another room. Also decent seating outside for when the suns out.”

“Love how this is a proper pub for adults. Love how Maggie and Karl are so welcoming when I occasionally take my autistic kid. We really appreciate how you mix things up a bit for us. Alex especially loves Debs and Kerry. Big thanks to you all xxx”

“Lovely local pub, spotlessly clean. Barmaids quick and friendly, there is karaoke but on the night I visited (Fri 03.11.23), there was a DJ. Great atmosphere and I enjoyed being there. Would def visit again next time I'm in Manchester.”

“Me and my partner stayed over for a night. We was really pleased with the service. Charlotte was outstanding with her service. Very very happy customers to say the least. Charlotte deserves a pay rise. Also have to say we was assisted also by lovely woman called Jo and she was also just very polite and helpful. 2 lovely people thanks for the service. We will be back again for sure. Once again food was outstanding very tasty x”
