Hidden gem cafe in Manchester

“Quality live music played good and loud.Decent array of beverages .Friendly clientele.”

“The best matcha I’ve had so far in Manchester (I chose the pistachio one). The waiters were incredibly sweet and friendly, and the outdoor seating was lovely, though the indoor space is quite small”

“The service was perfect from Jon, my lychee lemonade came really quickly and my friend’s smoothie too. Very polite and speedy service from Jon! And minimal interruption from our work (great place to study) Thank you Jon!”

“Had a nice taste explosion with this lovely sweet, wonderful and cheerful staff... and most importantly,the coffee was superb.”

“Great little local cafe. food very nice! service slow, but worth the wait.we will be back again.”

“The tolly is a great traditional pub, large selection of drinks. Lovely setting on the canal, option to sit outside in pub garden, dog friendly and all round great pub”

“Called in Saturday night to see the two Connor and Sam Hewitt. The pub was packed with a really good atmosphere.”

“Amazing gem of a pub.All the staff are so friendly and work extremely hard.Will definitely be going back for another visit in the near future,maybe for a bit of karaoke ❤️❤️❤️”

“Visited with friends and grandson from Canada, they wanted to feel the atmosphere in an english pub on match day ! Visited to watch man city and man utd. great day THANKS to the staff and the supporters they left with great memories of their visit. Best pub in the area”

“This place is amazing, fantastic staff and people who drink there. I have been going to the farmers for many years now, and I just love the place. Highly recommend if you want a cheeky pint and a catch-up with a pal.”

“Really pleasant place to grab a beer with friends, lovely yard”

“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”

“They’ve started doing burger deliveries and the burgers are fantastic! Think 5 guys meets GBK. I got a double Eminem burger, it came slightly pink in the middle...just how I like it. I’ll be satisfying all my burger cravings from here for now on! Chips were also nice, draught beer vacation was lovely. I’ll give the halloumi fries a miss next time they weren’t great - my only complaint”

“A consistently excellent pub in Manchester city centre. It offers up to 5 real ales on draft along with German and Belgium lager. Beer garden at the rear for the occasional sunny day!”

“Always a fan of the Wharf for a special time, and you can't beat it on a Sunday for a roast, pie, or Asian-fusian salad. Ideal for a date or a classy yet casual catch up with pals. A great selection of pints that are local, broader UK, continental Europe, and classics. They always have at least one gluten free beer on tap at a time, this time was the Brightside Bitter, but often have an alternative option. There are food options for all with the menu having extensive catering for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free. The staff are allergen aware and I have never had a problem eating here. They offer veggie and GF savoury pies and roasts, and GF fish and chips, as well as desert options which is a rare treat. The good is reliably hot and tasty, never rushed. They can run out of popular dishes especially by late on a Sunday, but that is to be expected of a place this busy. I had the crispy beef salad (GF) which was very flavourful and had perfect textures. Parking can be validated to avoid paying anything using an iPad at the bar. There is an accessible entrance, I believe an accessible loo too. Upstairs toilets are always very clean, as pleasant as a loo can be.”

“I called in with my husband for a quick soft drink as he was meeting his Uncle. I then left them to a conversation of football etc. The pub is a beautiful building, original tiles both on the floor and walls. Bar staff really friendly. We stayed inside as it was too hot outside (yes, too hot) but there was a beer green with a tv. We would definitely visit again.”

“As a lot to offer in many ways.. a good meeting place ..”

“I had a beautiful morning exploring the gardens at Tatton Park. It’s free for RHS members. But be warned that you need to pay £10 to park the car regardless of whether you visit any of the attractions. There’s toilets in the courtyard alongside a garden shop, cafe, gift shop, and bookshop. The gardens were looking great as we venture into autumn. There’s some beautiful dahlias still flowering and creating a wonderful display. Plenty of ripening apples and pears! Must be a fantastic season this year!! Lots of areas to wander in peace. The grounds are serene and as I was there at 10, there was hardly a soul! So plenty of beautiful photo opportunities!!”

“I came to La Turka with some friends on Monday evening, I ordered the tapas dish deal and it was delicious. However what impressed me the most was the service I received from my waitresses, in particular the young ginger girl who greeted us with a smile and was very attentive throughout, La Turka should be proud to have such a brilliant waitress. This was my first time trying this restaurant and I will definitely be back. The atmosphere and staff were lovely.”

“Quaint and lovely! Great food, don't skip the dessert.”

“A lovely traditional park with lots to see and do. The park has good play areas for the little ones which includes a water fountain play area in the summer months. A lovely coffee shop in the centre of the park with an ice cream van present near the play areas for most of the warmer months. There are also bowling greens, a duck pond and aviary with various types of birds to look at. Worth a visit if you're in the area and an excellent way to kill a few hours for free.”

“My recent dinner experience at The Rising Moon Restaurant Pub was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Everything, from the moment we walked in to the time we left, exceeded our expectations. The food was simply amazing. Every dish we ordered was prepared perfectly, delivered piping hot, and tasted incredible. It’s clear the kitchen takes great pride in the quality of their ingredients and cooking. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was delightful. There was a lively, warm buzz amongst the other diners, creating a very welcoming and comfortable environment that made our evening truly enjoyable. What really made the night memorable was the exceptional service provided by the entire team. All the staff members we interacted with were incredibly nice, polite, and attentive. In particular, I must give a special mention to Adam, who was truly great. Adam was not only very friendly and professional, but he went above and beyond to make our visit special. When he learned it was my mother's birthday, he kindly and thoughtfully brought out a slice of cake for her. This gesture of genuine care and attention made her day and demonstrated a level of service that is rarely seen. The combination of great food, wonderful atmosphere, and exemplary service ensures that we will definitely be returning to The Rising Moon Pub again very soon. We had a lovely evening, and I highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a superb dining experience. Thank you to the entire team, and especially to Adam, for making our evening so memorable!”

“Amazing place! Such great food, staff and cocktails are to die for!! Especially the rum punch! Would highly recommend!!”

“A spur of the moment decision on a Sunday late Sunday afternoon. A Walk in without a reservation late on Sunday afternoon, the pub was relatively busy and there was a small queue of people waiting to be seated. Whilst guest were being seated, the lady behind the bar could see that we were waiting. She stopped what she was doing, she greeted us with a cherry hello, and confirmed if we had a reservation which we haven’t. She said it was no bother had a table available And it will only take two ticks to wipe down and set up. We both went for the Sunday lunch one roast beef one roast lamb the meals came to the table within 20 minutes and I have to say one of the best Sunday lunches I’ve had in years we finished off With one cheesecake and two spoons. The staff here at the Horton were most definitely on their a game when we visited on Sunday. Polite professional and welcoming. We will most definitely be returning to the Horton Arms.”

“Nice friendly cafe, with great choices. I will definitely be coming here again.”

“Tasty breakfast and great coffee! Fresh, quick, perfect for a morning boost. Friendly service too .”

“Jam sponge was so soft and delicious. Same with the Matilda cake. Young boy who served us was polite and displayed excellent customer service.”

“Tried it instead of our usual places and glad we did. Excellent coffee and the eggs were perfect. The waitress Blake was attentive and made a special effort to ensure my wife’s scrambled egg even had soya milk in when cooked! Good atmosphere and a clean place.”

“First time visit and the breakfast, pastries and drinks were amazing! Will be coming back as soon as I can!”

“Best service, very great food and the price was great too, atmosphere was great, outdoor seating too, both sheltered and non sheltered, shisha was very very nice, I would definitely recommend, great place to work from and to have a good time and chill, parking too, my favourite shisha place from now on”
