Local landmarks in Manchester

“Wow! We ordered from the special Valentine's Day set menu and it did not disappoint! Such tasty dishes! Food was ready at the correct pick up time and was piping hot. Excellent portion sizes and high quality produce used (even better knowing it's locally sourced) Can't wait to visit again when lockdown is over and enjoy the quirky dining area on the bus. See you soon Bohemian Bus Cafe!”

“Been wanting to check out since moving to the area and loved the cozy atmosphere. I was SO happy they had vegan milkshakes as I've not been able to find anywhere that makes them! That and my avocado bagel was delicious. Love the different food options for a little brunch. Service was super friendly too. Will definitely be back to try their tea and coffee.”

“Had amazing club sandwich with a refreshing milkshake great atmosphere really welcoming overall a delightful place definitely a must if in the area”

“First time in here, met Chris the bar tender absolutely lovely guy. Really welcoming, the atmosphere is amazing and feels homely. Top quality conversations and would definitely be attending again! 5 star service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“The Black Friar has been amazing to work with for our friendship group's annual Christmas lunch. They made the entire booking process extremely easy, with all the T&Cs clearly outlined from the start. On the day we were looked after by Jess, who was incredible, very quick to respond to any issues raised, never kept anyone waiting, so accommodating with our various quirks (like pictures), and was easy to reach when needed without making it seem like hovering. And always with a smile, of course. Truly, truly a standout member of the team deserving of all the praise. The food at the Black Friar was also divine, incredibly generous portions (that I admit, have bested me) and every bite was a pleasure for all the senses. Our whole group was very happy with the afternoon we got to spend there and we will definitely be looking into coming back for next year's annual Christmas lunch, a total gem of a pub.”

“Highly recommended to anyone needing dental work done, the team here go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and take pride in the standards of their work. After my false crown finally gave up after a decade, cracking the tooth root in the process, I needed to understand my options and what choice was right for me. From the very first consultation Phil and the staff were excellent, explaining to me all options, possible risks, what to expect and how the process would work. They showed me the scans so I could see for myself what was had happened and what could be done. I chose to go for a dental implant which, given we are hopeful it will last decades for me, is actually a responsible investment to restore my smile. Although quite unsettling for me, both to actually lose a tooth and also to face an unknown surgery involving worrying phrases such as 'drill into the bone' and 'reshape the gums' Phil has seen this kind of problem many times before and his confidence in being able to make it right counts for a lot. I left the building with a timetable of my treatment and the price quoted was the one I paid, it never changed. After a few weeks of treatment I have now had the old root extracted and implant placed in one session, and recently had the permanent crown fitted after allowing a few weeks for healing. It was all done with care and consideration and I am so pleased with the result. The only time I was a little sore during the process was after the extraction, which is to be expected, but I was handed a bag of aftercare products and followed up on by the staff the day after. A week or so later I was fine. I felt nothing as the implant was set into my jawbone, and only a pinch when the permanent crown was set into the gum. Should you need dental work doing then do consider these guys, they know what they are doing and take a personal satisfaction in doing the job well.”

“Brilliant service from this shop. I went there for a new battery for my car key fob, and they even fitted it for me. Great service, good prices, and friendly helpful staff.”

“Hosts very welcoming as I arrived late and they organised a taxi for me . Bed was very comfortable clean and tidy room and bathroom. I was in awe at the view from the breakfast room / lounge - amazing views of the Diglea valley - sheep and lambs in fields - hens clucking around the car park . I chose my breakfast which was freshly cooked whilst I admired the views and peace . The hosts were kind and gave lots of information about the history of the area . A definite recommended from me .”

“Been to Fernhill Hotel twice now and its really good value for money if you need to stay in and around Manchester, you will ideally need a car though as it's situated in a remote farm area, which does mean it is very quiet! The rooms are nice and are a mixture of modern and traditional, the main bedroom and desk are made from wooden and are of an older style, no issue with it though everything functions as needed. The bathroom/shower puts many mainstream hotels to shame, very modern styled bathroom, the shower has great water pressure and even has a heated towel rack, the only minor downside is there is a lack of an area to put toiletries other than the sink. Overall, a great stay and excellent value for money.”

“A most magnificent building for holding Graduations for the students of Manchester.”

“Very pleasant experience and iced coffee and hot chocolate were great!”

“Although the weather has been dry and the flow of water over the downfall was reduced, it was well worth the hike over from Edale. Not sure if there's an easier route from other points around Kinder but we were glad to have tracked across Kinder to see this phenomena. There was a good wind coming up the valley so the spray was visible from a reasonable way off, the view improving as you get closer.”

“Mayfield Park is a unique little gem in Manchester!! It’s not very big, but it offers lovely seating areas and is great for a relaxing walk. Especially beautiful around sunset when the lighting in the park comes on and adds a cozy vibe. There are quite a lot of security cameras around, which might bother some. Other than that it’s Manchester’s most beautiful park!!!”

“Popped in for food and it was AMAZING!! I think new owners have taken it over about a year ago? I'm not too sure, but the menu is fabulous and everything that got brought out of the kitchen looked amazing. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back.”

“Came in yesterday with a group of my friends, and I enjoyed the food and service very much. The atmosphere was lovely, and they had a great music selection. We came on a quiet day so our food arrived quite quickly. It tasted amazing! Thank you to Ruby for serving us- she was very kind and patient with us! Will be coming back!”

“This is the second time I've been here, and it won't be the last time I'm back. The food and drink are great - amazing selection whether you're a vegetarian or not - but what really sealed the deal on both occasions I've been here is Joanna. What an absolutely fantastic host. Great memory, and very personable. The food is awesome - on every occasion I've been here it's been incredible. No matter how busy, the staff are attentive. Place is well laid out. Cannot rate this place enough. Love it”

“Fantastic food all the time. And friendly staff. 10/ 10...”

“Best park cafe I've ever been to. Coffee is fantastic, my kids love the hot chocolate and the choice of pastries (vegan goodies too) is amazing.”

“Really lovely owners and great menu items. Good quality fast piping hot food, appreciate having a nod to Hong Kong so close to us x We did takeaway and dining in in the same week, very good either way!”

“you’ll be hard pressed to find a more accommodating pub landlord in the city. the ambience is terrific as well”

“Great service. Very efficient and would definitely recommend.”

“I've been a customer at lounge of fades for a couple of years, and it never fails to impress me. The atmosphere is always upbeat and fun, making each visit enjoyable. The staff is not only skilled in their craft but also friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting environment. What sets this barber shop apart is the perfect balance of efficiency and quality - the service is fast without compromising on the excellent results. The cleanliness of the shop is impeccable, ensuring a hygienic and comfortable experience. Every visit is not just about a haircut, but also about the good laughs shared with the team. If you're looking for a barber shop that delivers top-notch service with a side of fun, this is the place to go.”

“Very pleased with my beautiful Christmas Tree, lovely shape & colour, a Nordmann Classic. Customer service was great all round. I emailed to reserve a tree on the Thursday & picked it up Saturday morning as arranged. Staff let me know the best place to pull up my car so they could load it into the boot for me. I definitely recommend G T Blagg for christmas trees & customer service. For a modest fee, they do home delivery. Next year might treat myself & go for this, as I’ll definitely be a returning customer.”

“Homeshow event was great, at some points it was really busy and hard to see stalls but there was a lot to look at, cafe with coffee and tea, vendors were so helpful and friendly.”

“First time I attended a concert (Howard Jones)here. Acoustics were fabulous and I found the staff to be very professional and courteous. Thank you for making the night even more memorable.”

“Quirky little theatre in the round. We saw Singing in the Rain which was amazing, with real rain! Excellent performance in a unique venue.”

“The epitome of New York style loft apartment living but right in the middle of Manchester. You are in the middle of a noisy city yet at night it's so quiet you'd think you were alone in the veritable middle-of-nowhere, probably something to do with the thick 19th century walls. An amazing glass house structure covers the whole of the centre of the quad and coffee drinkers can be often seen imbibing in this area. The building is grade II listed, which means the outside character and look has to be maintained. 24hr concierge and security along with hot water and heating included in the service charge really do make this one of the most desirable residences in central Manchester.”

“We really enjoyed the sound of music, great little theatre. Well worth it”

“Beautiful location. First class show and amazing volunteers running the theatre.”

“My 1st visit to this place. Went to watch Little Voice. Was a brilliant show in a pretty good theatre. Will be going again.”
