The 30 Best Inviting spaces in Stockport

“There was a lovely lady who was at the till scanning our items. We did not get her name but she was youngish and European looking with lipstick on. She was so chatty and kind to us and was so helpful offering us bubble wrap for a light we brought. If the manager sees this please thank her for us!”

“I honestly love going to Geo and Keeva to get my hair done! The most relaxed salon ever, such a safe space. Geo literally gets any vision you bring to her and nails it every time.”

“I absolutely love this restaurant! I can’t find this kind of flavor anywhere else. My boyfriend and I come here all the time, and it never disappoints. The food is super DELICIOUS with truly AUTHENTIC Thai flavours. Prices are really affordable, and the staff are always so friendly. Highly recommend checking out HOT THAI—you’ll love it!”

“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.”

“Popped in for a hot chocolate and coffee , was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and was the perfect place to visit to start the day.”

“Honestly one of the best hair cuts and beard trims I've had. I was even rude enough to come in just before they closed and Omar was very happy to stay late to take care of me. Definitely be back.”

“This team are exceptionally good. I am not prone to hyperbole, but I recommend them on so many levels. To begin with, they are highly professional - supervised by the ever-conscientious (and very hard working and able) Rick, the young-ish workers applied themselves skillfully and diligently. The input the firm provided over the design and major refurbishments to my kitchen, sitting room, and two bathrooms was both inspiring and impressively accomplished. On the design/co-ordinating front, Ben was highly creative and thoughtful (and patient!) and judged the degree of consultation and 'going ahead' (there were so many decisions to be taken) just right. On top of all of this, the team are personable and good to be around - a blessing when for a while I had to live with them cheek-by-jowl on what was effectively a building site. The result: a wonderfully transformed home and a very satisfied and grateful me.”

“Worthwhile visit at any time, lunch choices are great, and also just popping in for a brew and cake is recommended. Now they have an alcohol licence, popping in for a cocktail is on the cards. Great place, warm vibes.”

“We went to see the opening night of Aladdin and it was absolutely fantastic. We all had a brilliant time. The show itself was so entertaining having us all laughing and singing or clapping along. Everything was also really well organised. Fantastic family night out for a group age 5 to 73. Thank you and good luck for the rest.”

“Came here tonight for the first time and will definitely be back. The pizza is the tastiest we’ve ever had, all the ingredients were quality. This place has such a nice vibe between the music and friendly staff.”

“What a gem to drop onto whilst driving through Buxton. Definitely worth a stop if you want a bite to eat. Excellent spot A clean plate because the food was that good”

“This has been the loveliest service ever! Also, I'm Spanish and GOD, finally I found real Spanish food here in England. Their Spanish evening event was just AMAZING. I'm speechless and I will definitely come back here like, don't know... Twice a week minimum??”

“Good espresso and great people!”

“Although I live some three miles away, and have my own local, I always enjoy coming in here for a change! Usually early doors on Mondays. Love it. Thanks all!”

“I got a hazelnut latte meatball sub and a Philly cheesesteak all of them easy 10/10 I took one bite out of the Philly cheesesteak and immediately thanked my friend who told me about it Best sandwich I’ve had in Greater Manchester”

“The BEST venue! The heart of any establishment is it's staff. This is what makes The Spinning Top, not only special, but an incredible place to be. Mike, the landlord, is the kindest, and funniest guy you will ever meet. Our band (For The Hornets) travelled a round trip of around 9 hours to play here, and we were treated like royalty by all of the staff. It rubs off on all of the customers too, as complete outsiders we were made to feel like family. The Bar: Extremely well stocked, with a huge range of craft beers, wines, and mainsteam lagers. My draft Peroni was ice clod and in a Peroni glass - they take pride in what they do. The whole place was spotless, including the loo's. Playing as a band: As I mentioned we were treated like kings. We borrowed the house equipment (a god send for a travelling band) and it was all fantastic. Mike done the sound better than most professional sound engineers that we meet. Epilogue: The following day I had a panic attack that I'd left some vital grear at the venue, and woke Mike up at silly 'o' clock in blind panic. He was calm and extremely helpful. I'm so grateful for this. My was head slightly sore from over-indulgence.... but my abs sore from laughing all night. Absolutely incredible venue. Best in Stockport and Manchester. Would travel a long way out of my way to visit here again. 11/10.”

“A great little café situated between Vernon and Woodbank parks. The staff are very friendly. Dogs and their owners are welcome. Indoor and outdoor seating. Free water for four-legged animals. Parking nearby.”

“Not been for seven years but had spaghetti Bolognese. It was lovely as usual. I used to have it regularly.”

“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”

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

“The drinks are lovely and reasonably priced, the staff is super friendly and the environment is very comforting and unique! Lovely place highly recommended :)”

“Great pub, great quiz, great snacks, great range of drinks.”

“We absolutely love this place. Fantastic staff, fantastic landlady and landlord, which are very welcoming and friendly great atmosphere we have met and made some really good friends I would recommend a night out at the Printer's to everyone.”

“I went to this restaurant last week and absolutely loved it! The food was delicious, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. The prices are really reasonable too, which is why I came back again today. Lovely Iranian hospitality — can’t wait to visit again!”

“Nice cafe, lovely staff. The price should be more attractive if it's slightly cheaper”

“The new owners have really done the old pub proud. Beautifully furnished, great service and fantastic food. The food was outstanding. Definitely recommend the roast. Well done to staff and new owners you’ve definitely brought love and life back into the H&J. .”

“Great atmosphere and the staff are great!”

“Visited for dinner, we both wanted the pie and chips, no pies left., We then chose fish and chips and they had to check if they had fish. We were about to leave, but they had two left. The food arrived and we were pleased either the good, fish was excellent, large, chunky fish and good batter. The pub was a bit smelly, tables very sticky. Toilets really clean and tidy. Not too busy on a Monday afternoon. The pub is next to the golf course, with a great view. The pub could be so much nicer and it would increase footfall from golfers too.”

“Love this place!!! The landlord is a delightful Arsenal fanatic who loves his footy. The pubs cheese board is legendary and the condiments are top notch!! Bar games are encouraged and there is a vigorous card school with local rascally characters engaging in fierce banter which is a joy to watch. All in all the Comfy experience is a sight to behold and a life experience that must not be missed.”
