Hidden gem in Manchester

“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 ..”

“Visited again last week. I absolutely love this place. Hidden gem. Great place to bring teenagers who prefer quiet, young adults who may be anxious and not enjoy the crowds. Can walk around as many times as like and discover all animals. Gorgeous pigs, donkeys, goats and chickens enjoying themselves. There are ping pong tables for a quick out side game, children's play equipment. A river to walk along. A cafe to sit have a snack and drink. Squirrels running up and down the trees. Some animals look like they are rescue animals and are obviously being taken care of by the farm.”

“Large venue, clean and cheaper than the odeon. Very comfortable seats and plenty of different viewing times to suit all.”

“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!!”

“Unbelievable work goes into this place. The plants and fish. Cactus and flowers are amazing.”

“Spoke to Wesley who was very knowledgeable, we wanted a reasonable ski holiday that suited our ski ability’s as a group. He gave me lots of information and ideas, we can’t thank him enough. This is our 3rd ski holiday with Crystal.”

“First time visit at 1730 on a December weekday. Fairly quiet on arrival but warmly welcomed and sat down at a table. The restaurant is very modern and nicely decorated for Christmas. Menu is extensive and has a good selection for both meat and vegetarian options. All drinks are non-alcoholic which wasn't a problem though the content of the Sangria cocktail did use a soft drink with a sweetener. They serve normal Coke but am unsure of other non-sweetner drinks. The food was excellent, all freshly prepared. Some additional table presentation for the giant meatball was a nice touch. Good sized portions for all courses. Taste was excellent and the Turkish baklava with the extra table presentation was divine. Service was added to the bill and well deserved. All the staff were attentive and did their jobs well. The restaurant was busier as we left with families arriving. Overall a 5* and would definitely return.”

“Excellent food and service. Steaks were delicious. And the chips were really nice. Just one slight bug bear. They automatically added the service charge to the bill. So if you don't want to pay their service charge you have to tell them to take it off and then pay your own service charge. Surely the point of a service charge, or tip is that the customer gets to decide what they want to pay depending on the service they've had.”

“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.”

“Breakfast was great! Very relaxing atmosphere. We will be back!”

“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.”

“Lovely walk, choice of routes with miles wide paths an option on muddier days, or over dirt tracks when weather better. Beautiful views, not ever too busy like dovestones can be. Lack of bins is my only issue, so occasionally see dog poo bags hanging on bushes, which is a shame.”

“This is a GEM! One of my happy places. The grounds are very well maintained and it's a delight to walk around.”

“Great size park with sheep all over it roaming free. Bonfire night is always good here and I believe fishing is good. You see plenty of rabbits and other animals. Would recommend for a short dog walk as it's laid out very well and is easy to follow. Plenty of bins aswell and benches”

“Nice park near the Stockport station. Has a good number of ducks and swans. Also, you can book for fishing here.”

“The building, i believe, is not open to the general pubic but luckily for me, i work for the company that maintains it, so I got to see inside and how grand it is pictures speak for themselves it's grade 2 listed and has links with Agatha christie and also prince albert is rumourd to have stayed the night here on a visit to Manchester to open a gallery”

“Nice family park - I liked it because of the central lake and it's tucked within a residential estate. Cute.”

“Went right from the carpark for a cycle ride. Walked to the canal later Will visit again and cycle left. Love these old rail track rides. I'm very nervous on the roads so this is a fantastic alternative.”

“A nice ride to the place on bike and a nice ride round the woods itself if you follow the canal you can get into Lymm aswell. Overall 4.5/5 stars”
