Hidden gem in Manchester

“One of the best cafe experiences I have had in Manchester. Friendly staff, wonderful tasty food and is very popular with a lot of locals in Middleton. Everyone I work with recommends this cafe for the welcoming service and homely feel. & I can tell why. You truly feel wanted and welcome when you come in and to top of off the food is just as good as the staff.”

“HIDDEN GEM !..WoW gorgeous hearty delicious food. We ordered 2 x Full English with 2 Teas and the quality of the food and meats was great. If you are visiting the Antique Market, please pop in visit the ladies and the food is amazing.”

“Very great cafe. The barista Vicky was so kind! Loved the experience.”

“Friendly and welcoming place with good quality food and drinks for a good price. Would definitely recommend.”

“I had such a lovely experience. I was served by these two sweet sisters who filled my strange request of a mystery cake and drink and boy did they not underserve. The cafe was so quaint and lovely with the essence of small village cafe and was decorated with needle felted spiders for halloween. Overall it was a great experience and i recommend the victoria sponge.”

“I've tried flat whites from so many different cafés around , and the one i had here is by far my favorite! Smooth, perfectly balanced, and made with high quality coffee . Plus, the staff were super friendly and welcoming ✨”

“Wonderful food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. Came here 14th December for the Christmas markets and parade. Would recommend to come here for a bite to eat or if the other pubs are full. We'll worth the money”

“Had some lunch. Friendly staff food a coffee were great”

“Went to Piccadilly Garden with friends then just searched cafe on Google map, found this cafe and walked in We ordered Benedict and French toast, the Benedict is surprisingly nice, its wish sweet potato hash browns mixed with bacon bits and red pepper. I think it’s an interesting combination, I never see anything similar in other brunch spots. I personally don’t eat red peppers, this combination even caught my stomach. And I think the Holland sauce is quite nice, better than other places I’ve tried. Classic french toast is okay, normal I’d say. Also ordered berries mocktails it tastes fresh I like it, £5 is very reasonable Have to shout out to Tyler for the great service, very lovely and considerate. We had a whole excellent brunch experience here, and would always love to come back”

“Such a lovely place. Wonderful food, volunteers, people and atmosphere. There is a nice store that sells nice wine, soaps, salt, jewellery, greeting cards including wooden greetings cards, chutney, tea, jams..and many more. For me, it's love at first sight.”

“Always a treat coming here the staff are so friendly and welcoming If you want a wrap in Manchester the best place is here”

“Lovely, laid back and unpretentious pub with plenty of stripped wood and some wonderfully tasty ales. Great to see the patronage of local micro breweries and the noticeboard full of Polaroids celebrating all their doggy patrons tells you all you need to know about the overall vibe here.”

“Came in for lunch and it was lovely. The steak pie was delicious and my dad had the shepherds pie and he said that it was delicious as well. The service was quick and our server Tom was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely come again and will recommend it to our friends and family.”

“Great pub that always has plenty of good stuff of draft and cask.”

“I took my friend to show him what I think is one of the most amazing pubs in Manchester, with great history, however when we visited at about 14.20 on Wednesday ( just in case the owner wants to speak to her ) the person behind the bar was the most miserable, unpleasant, uninterested bar person I have come across in a long time , she even struggled to ask for our order she was so disinterested Even when people were coming in from graduation, who were all very excited she just couldn’t be bothered speaking to anyone , apart from her friend at the end of the bar If I do visit again , and she is there we will just walk straight out and go somewhere we are welcome”

“Love this pub inside and out. It’s got so much history and charm. The building used to be the Manchester & Salford Children’s Mission back in Victorian times, where they ran a kitchen for kids and the homeless. Now it’s this brilliant underground pub, and you can still see the old glazed brick walls when you head downstairs, which just adds to the atmosphere. I’d love to see more of that story told inside. There are a few old photos up, but no info with them... a bit of context would make it even better. Doesn’t put me off going though, it’s still one of my favourite spots in Manchester.”

“Lovely boozer. Probably my favourite in the area. That Chloe lass is an absolute ray of sunshine. Ee by gum I’ll be hoping for a pint poured by her again Sincerely Alan”

“The people are nice and friendly and it's a good atmosphere and the beer is good to”

“Amazing choice of Eastern European foods with a huge array of cooked and cured meats along with great looking fresh veg along with all the groceries you can think of and more. It's a treasure trove of interesting foods. Staff are really helpful and friendly, always ready to guide you. Lots of Vodkas and other beverages at a great price.”

“Great venue for gigs. Reminds me of a mini Manchester academy. Will definitely watch more bands here. Beer prices 4.70”

“Had a lovely stay here, in one of the Shepherds Huts. Fantastic modern, clean well facilitated accommodation. All the staff from arrival, breakfast and departure were extremely pleasant and helpful. 10/10 Strongly recommended.”

“Great venue for stand up comedy, not so big that you lose the feeling of being part of the show. Good slope on the seating so the view from further back is still ok. Comfy seats, easy to get in and out, lots of parking nearby.”

“Amazing little gem Production was brilliant (talking heads) Great support staff It wasn't v warm but take a big coat,these places must cost a fortune to heat and at only £8 per ticket they need all funds they can get I guess Light refreshments at interval even a raffle! Parking was available on street but v full however there is a free car park 5 mins walk away it is a bit of a hill if you have mobility/health issues tho just go early and get space nearby if you able We done tlt we will be coming again”

“Plenty of parking at a reasonable cost. Great fun for adults, teenagers, children and toddlers! Scenic views, a small farm with helpful animals handlers who are happy to answer questions, well-kept grounds, boat rides, decent-sized play areas for children of all ages, a cafe, a resident ice cream van and charcoal pizza options. A good place to enjoy the great outdoors - especially on a sunny day!”

“Wonderful little club with lots going on from bingo to karaoke to artists every Sunday. Fresh beer, a warm welcome and friends to be made”

“This is our local pub & restaurant and never disappoints. The food is always lovely and Rachel the landlady is such a great host and runs a tight ship, the young new staff are all very friendly and professional, today was no exception with a lovely young man serving us and making sure we were looked after. They are credit to Rachel's hard work. Thank you :)”

“Diggle lock is a must visit in the Oldham/saddleworth area I’ve been lots of times it’s always great and the staff a super friendly. My favourite at the moment is the steak and eggs with halloumi on the side. The peach ice tea is a must try also!”

“Super food, party of 6, Sunday evening, 4 had vegetarian roast, 2 had pork, faultless. And desserts good value nice size. Would definitely recommend.”

“Fantastic vintage gaming bar! So many options for games and you get soany tokens you are spoilt for choice. The cocktails were fantastic and themed to gaming, with the service behind the bar at the weekend fast, efficient and gorgeously presented. Plenty of places to sit and people watch if you are like me. 10/10 recommend.”

“Beautiful place to stay! Just be careful of the road leading up! If you have a lowered car you will struggle. Added pictures. Only down side.”
