Lunch breaks in Manchester

“Excellent sushi fantastic choice lovely staff”

“Our ”Tuesday club” went to birdandbeemcr today for the first time. They were 5 of us (usually 7) and we all opted for the bacon bun. Now this was not just any bacon bun - it was filled with crispy streaky bacon, with a cheesy, sumptuous little omelette on top - some of us had it on brioche & some on local sourdough. With pot of freshly brewed tea to go with it, it was delicious. One of us had a latte which was very professionally done too. They’ve only been open for a week but we’ll definitely to back to sample more great food. Sorry I didn’t take a pic but I’d finished it before I remembered!”

“Love the food, friendly service, would definitely recommend for everyone.”

“Best chip shop in England been using since the 80s live in London now when travelling to Yorkshire to visit family always stop in for dinner 2 hours out of my way”

“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 fabulous breakfast place eat in or takeaway. They are always busy but the staff are super efficient. My favourite is sausage on toast! Have also indulges in the full English and that's fab, couldn't work after eating it though!!!!!”

“We have visited this cafe several times over the past week. We have been most impressed with the outstanding quality of the food. The staff are polite and most attentive. Would not hesitate to highly recommend this business. Regards Mike and Noyna.”

“Fantastic food fantastic service and warm and friendly staff would highly recommend”

“Zena Bees Cafe is amazing food here is delicious. I had the big breakfast muffin omg it was tasty and filling. Well worth the money and visit here. The cafe is clean and service is outstanding.”

“Amazing little cafe food was great kids loved it. Highly recommend”

“Absolutely the best place around!! The people are soo nice and the food is always so delicious and super cheap!! full breakfast for 5.50! U cant get better than that. I always come here after the gym to have my food and I absolutely love it.”

“Great cafe upstairs, but has a lift. Very reasonable prices for coffees, snacks or full breakfast etc. Also they have a large selection of books. Ground floor is all things charity shop.”

“We came on a Sunday, having been to an event in Manchester the night before. Looked this place up online for being open, having a good menu, and for being accessible as I was on crutches and wearing a surgical boot. All the boxes were ticked, and the welcome was brilliant, the lady owner was a lovely smiling hostess. The food was good, served quickly, piping hot and just what we wanted. Even on a Sunday, sited in a mainly industrial area, the cafe was busy and it is probably packed during the week. Lots of lovely thoughtful touches. All round, a great choice. Thank you”

“Perfect little traditional greasy spoon! Reasonably priced, generous but not too big portions, staff very friendly and attentive, perfectly cooked eggs on the breakfast and one of the best hashbrowns I've had in a while! Definitely recommend for a quiet little breakfast and a cuppa!”

“Coffee was excellent. Service was quick and friendly. Great little place for working in the quiet or meeting with friends. Thoroughly recommend it. It’s INDEPENDENT so let’s support it!!!”

“I pre ordered a takeaway afternoon tea for 4 and it was perfect. Fresh food, homemade scones, we loved it. It made my mum's birthday really special (about a quarter of the food is in the picture. There was LOADS)”

“A nice cafe at AMBS building. The coffee is tasty and inexpensive. The foods are delicious and their soups of the week are just unbeatable. I recommend chilled brew and soups.”

“Probably the best coffee place in Manchester, I go out of my way to get a mocha here. Really good and flavourful coffee that is well priced for central Manchester, nice vibes and place to chill though it is quite small so seating is limited especially if you want a table. Baristas are nice and knowledgeable about all the difference beans as well”

“I have been coming to this coffee shop for a weekly coffee date with my little girl for years. The staff are really lovely, very helpful and friendly and good the extra mile to give a good experience. The drinks and food are good, and good value. Better than Starbucks/Costa/Nero and cheaper. I expect to having a weekly mum and daughter coffee date here for years to come.”

“Brilliant pub great staff. Coming for many years always made to feel welcome. One of the last real traditional pubs in the country, they keep their beer so well. Food great. A really sociable pub.”

“Good local pub. Have pocker night on a Thursday and sometimes karaoke or a singer on at a weekend. It's just been done up so lovely and clean.”

“Lovely pub that has welcoming staff and great atmosphere! Cosy in the cold weather with a nice fire and a good selection of cask ales.”

“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!!”

“Beautiful restaurant, all decorated fir valentines. We had 3 course set meal which was delicious. We ended up taking some of the sharing platter home as we just didn't have room. Staff were very welcoming and attentive so defo 10/10. X”

“We love it at The Hale Pizza Express. We come on a weekly basis knowing we will be warmly greeted by Massimo. The food is always perfect and tweaked to our liking. It’s a nice touch knowing our order and having personal conversation. Couldn’t recommend Massimo and his team of friendly waiters and top notch pizza chefs enough. 6 stars”

“Great food, portion sizes and price. Paper bags are appreciated, and fruit juice - so many places fizzy drinks are the only option but not here. Doner kebab is full of meat (never has bones in it) and the salad is always fresh. Fries are always seasoned nicely. Chicken wrap is also full of meat. This is the go to chicken shop on langworthy”

“Very good food excellent quality and great service. Value for money. Very friendly and good manners.”

“First time at this cafe. I ordered a black coffee, a coke and Traditional Eggs Benedict. The cafe was busy which shows how popular it is. The food was amazing. The eggs were cooked to perfection and were nice and runny. The bacon was also perfect. Not salty at all like some bacon. I’m always weary about ordering eggs Benedict as sometimes it’s not cooked properly and the sauce is tasteless, but not here. I actually wanted to lick the plate to get all the sauce. I will definitely be back xx”

“AMAZING food, staff & price!Very generous portions. They do the best jackets & paninis. Definitely worth going”

“Elaine and Rob provided fantastic service (sorry about the accident- you know what I mean) really made us want to come back. The food was tasty too. Salmon off the lunch menu, 3 plates off the small plates menu and the triple combo. All recommended.”
