Local sourcing in Altrincham

“Great place. Staff know their menu and helped us choose. Pasta dishes were hearty and rich. Lovely atmosphere, feels busy but cosy.”

“Cocktails were 10/10!! It’s hard to make a delicious Pornstar Martini but they so good we went back for seconds!! Lovely atmosphere and our server V was very friendly and made the best cocktails! Cant wait to go back! So good to have a local fab cocktail bar!!”

“Called in for the first time today just as I was passing. Bought a few things then thought I’d visit the cafe for coffee and cake . Really nice small cafe. Totally spotless and the most amazing thing was the great service and friendliness of the lovely lady who works there. ( blonde plaited pony tail ) Thank you so much . You are a credit to Waitrose .”

“I had a couple of guinness. No food. Didnt see they had Murphys until late so i will be back for a pint of that They have tayto Great atmosphere here, people enjoying the craic or watching the GAA. I visited this pub when it was the Tavern. I wrote a bad review amd critised whoever was running it, as it seems like a nice wee spot. The new people who have taken it over have put some love into this. Well done. I went in with low expectations and was proved utterly wrong. I cant understand how they can offer a free buffett. I would urge you to give this place a go.”

“Conor was so friendly and made us feel so accommodated - would definitely recommend coming here :)”

“Great for quick shopping. Well laid out and stocked. Fresh meat, veg, fruit, bread as well as staple and essentials. Bargain buys are good ie 3 white Aero bars for £1. There is a booze/soft drinks area. Also the local Post Office is inside the shop, very handy. Cash machine outside. Ramp or steps with automatic doors.”

“Loved Bernie's, a proper local spot with excellent coffee, great food, great music and lovely people. I came here for a break making course and wanted to come back straight away. Places like this are what makes Manchester so great.”

“What can I say! I’ve been coming daily to Kickback for my morning coffee for over three years. The coffee is excellent, that’s a given. It’s meeting Saskia, Harvey, Toby and Chris that makes me want to go daily. They make a great team - everyone is made to feel welcome and special. They work incredibly hard and are a credit to the wider Kickback team. If I could give 6 stars I would!”

“The staff here have great knowledge and are incredibly helpful. I requested a case of 12 wines as a gift and the packaging and presentation were fabulous. I massively appreciate what a briliant job Keith did with all of it - the extra little touches elevated it brilliantly. Big thanks again - much appreciated!”

“I had a lovely lunch here yesterday, good offer of all the standard all day breakfast stuff as well as healthier options like salads, baked potatoes and lunch specials. Good value for money, much more reasonably priced than other eateries in Hale. Give it a try”

“I’ve been visiting this coffee shop regularly for a while now, and I honestly can’t praise the team enough. You can immediately tell they take pride in their work and genuinely care about both the quality of the coffee and the experience of everyone who walks in. Oli in particular has this effortless way of making the space feel welcoming, friendly, and his attentiveness is very wholesome. He remembers people’s preferences, checks in with guests thoughtfully, and the whole atmosphere runs smoothly under his watch. The drinks are consistently excellent, the service is efficient but personal, and there’s a calm, professional energy even during an influx. If you’re looking for a spot where you’re treated like a valued regular rather than just another customer, this is 100% it. Highly recommended!”

“Tanya's place is absolutely wonderful - we couldn't imagine leaving our bunny with anyone else! We have a house rabbit so she is used to lots of roaming time and Tanya always makes sure she gets regularly let out to explore, keeping us up to date with videos when she can and and our bunny absolutely loves her little holiday here. Tanya cares for her like she is her own. She is so knowledgeable and always gives such great advise. The facilities are amazing - central heating in the winter and air conditioning in the summer. All food is included and Tanya always makes sure they have the best veg and hay. Can highly recommend :)”

“The whole team were nothing but professional and efficient at all times. Our claim was dealt with by Keisi who was excellent and responsive at each stage of the process. Our claim was completed in a prompt time frame and in line with the expectation set and we received our very nice payment within 3 weeks. I’d highly recommend Access2Funding and look forward to next years claim. Thanks guys, Richard Coletta - MD”

“Not only meat and organs are fantastic ,but sue customer service and helpfulness is second to none and for that reason alone I love shopping from this place and although is a bit drive for me but absolute worth it.best is to let sue what you need in advance and she will sort you out.thanks sue to being such an amazing person.”

“The best day out ever, the farm is beautiful and full of so much character and amazing animals to see, I absolutely loved it and feeding the animals and holding the lambs was an amazing highlight! The staff are all so kind too, thank you for an incredible day !! We will definitely be back! 10/10 so fabulous and beautiful escape with amazing scenery too.”

“We have been here twice now for our work Christmas meal as well as various times throughout the year and we have always found the venue to be very friendly and welcoming. The menu is ideal for me. Thank you so much for making our Christmas meal a lovely event.”

“Had a great meal at Street Food. The service was friendly and fast. I had the beef teriyaki with noodles — really flavourful and well cooked. The Hong Kong–style food was delicious, and the iced coffee was amazing too. Definitely recommend!”

“An internationally accessible haven of tranquility providing escape from the city. Dunham Massey is a brilliant green area south of Manchester, well conectes to Manchester airport. A range of flora and fauna make for a wonderful nature trail and forage, or a humble walk passively absorbing the natural landscape including forested areas and open pastures featuring abundant wildlife. On our visit most of the amenities were closed due to a met office weather warning, but this didn’t stop us exploring the vast grounds in peace. They often talk about calm before the storm, but rarely the calm during the storm- which is what we experienced due to the lack of fair weather crowds. I can imagine on more typical days tje cafes and visitors centre complete this experience with a warm drink or a hot soup after a brisk autumn stroll. I look forward to experiencing these on a future visit.”

“What an amazing B&B. Sharon and Dave were simply wonderful hosts, with my family descending on them for the weekend for a nearby wedding. The beautiful flowers on the door were a good omen that we were in safe hands. The decor in the cottage was lovely and the whole place was well maintained. Sharon did a great job providing breakfast for all of us and they made us feel very welcome. It was a lovely break from urban life, would definitely recommend to others and I'd happily stay there again!”

“Great quality food for a more upscale version of a British lunch. The scallops were outstanding so was the T bone steak in particular as cooked to perfection, but was all great. Lovely restaurant in Hale village and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.”

“This cafe should shout about itself more. Second visit and just as good as the first time. Everything we had was fresh and tasted home cooked. Generous portions and great value. We were spoilt for choice on the menu so tried the five salad option and a slice of the greek spanakopita. Both excellent and couldn’t fault seasoning and flavours. Dessert was great too.”

“This place is amazing, from the gorgeous food, the eclectic decor and the lovely, attentive staff that help to make this an wonderful experience from the moment you enter until the time when you don't want to leave. A must if you're in Altrincham. Definitely a food and people place. Can't wait until we go again. They should sell a recipe book of some of these dishes, especially those great dishes they don't do anymore.”

“The best breakfast sandwiches around! Unlike anywhere else I’ve tried, they use high quality buns and toast them which is so much better than the cheap white rolls found in most places. The quality of the bacon and eggs is also amazing. Great pit stop on our dog walks.”

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

“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.”

“Not able to judge the food (they dont sell any) or the atmosphere (as no one else was in) but the bar itself is wonderful. Only small, with an indoor upstairs seating area & a small section out front with tables & chairs (only good for dry days) Theres also a beer garden to the rear apparently (never tried it)? Although limited for bar space the beer selection is good. More often than not there are 3 locally brewed ales on cask & 8 beers on keg, which usually includes a dark one. Altrincham born & bred Iv'e been coming here since it opened in the early 2000s and despite both it sister bars closing (Chorlton & Liverpool) luckily this bar continues to trade. I wish there was a greater choice, but should you be unable to find something unsuitable on cask/keg, they also have a well stocked fridge with numerous craft ales so im confident you'll find something suitable. Not the cheapest of bars, but far from the most expensive. OK, its getting a little tired around the edges now & the downstairs disabled toilets could do with a bit of a face lift, but all that said I still highly recommend this place.”

“My son really enjoyed visiting here. He played with the big variety of toys and activities. The staff were great and attentive, it was also very clean. Food and drink was great and we will definitely be back on a regular occurrence.”

“The Garden Café in Hale is an absolute gem! The coffee is top-notch, and the selection of cakes is simply delicious. Every bite was fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a treat. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. It’s clear that the staff take pride in what they do, and it really adds to the experience. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick coffee or a leisurely afternoon treat, this place is well worth a visit. Highly recommended!”

“This is a lovely restaurant. Went on a Saturday night around 8pm and it was busy but not overly busy. Servers are attentive and food and drink was served quickly. The prices are very good for what you get. Added bonus is that you can take your own wine/drink in (I don’t drink however they do serve soft drinks) Food is well cooked and there’s lots of it to choose from. Went for a few small plates and a large main (Lamb Shawarma). Well worth a visit.”

“Lovely little pub, nice decor, atmosphere and staff. Really big portions of food, and the fish was huge! Lovely dessert, very clean, warm and welcoming. Will be returning!”
