Outing in Manchester

“Doesn't have as many screens as didsbury and therefore doesn't show as many films as the larger venues but it's mid sized and you'll find me here most weeks using my cineworld card. Get 1 month free unlimited when you use this code RAF-10YF-56HU-41SX-65CL.”

“Brilliant place to visit with my 7 year old grandson, he loves it. Staff are great and knowledgeable and always on hand to assist. Plenty to do to keep kids and adults occupied.”

“Had a lovely late afternoon here with friends. We had the Tapas. First time here. The staff especially He Man ( you know you are) and Lennon were really attentive, welcoming and funny. Helped to make our afternoon.”

“Lovely little park. It's great for kids and familes. Dog friendly. It's clean and tidy. And At the side of a rugby club. Activities usually are here in the summer so there is more for children and families.. There is also a carpark to use.”

“Great for walking dogs especially in the woodland area. Has slides, swings climbing frames in the playground. Look out for the Hyde Mela festival which normally happens in August every year.”

“A park near M60 with a few on-street parking bays. The park is clean and so relaxed to walk around. Also, there is a tree trail in the park and you may find birds and squirrels in it.”

“Great food. Always nice to get somewhere that knows gluten free choices too. Kids love the all you can eat ice-cream and activity sheets. I love the frozen glasses for the beer. Pizza is always good.”

“Impasto is hands down the best spot in Manchester for burgers, pizzas, and pastas. Their flavors are unparalleled, offering a taste experience you won’t find anywhere else in the city. Whether you’re craving a juicy burger, a perfectly baked pizza, or a hearty pasta dish, Impasto delivers excellence every time. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch comfort food in Manchester.”

“I went to Pronto Pizza, and I must say, it was one of the best pizza experiences I’ve had! The flavors were incredible, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. A special shoutout to Aniruth, who made the pizza—his recommendations were spot on, and the pizza he prepared was absolutely perfect. You can tell he’s passionate about what he does. The crust was crisp, the toppings were fresh, and the balance of flavors was just right. Highly recommend Pronto Pizza to anyone looking for a fantastic meal. I’ll definitely be back soon!”

“I was staying in the adjoining Premier Inn, as I was working in the area. The menu is extensive and reasonably priced and there’s also a dinner and breakfast deal for hotel guests. I ordered the smothered platter which was fresh and tasty, with the steak cooked medium perfectly, which is usually ruined with mixed meat platters. Thanks chef. All staff are really friendly and the restaurant is clean and nicely appointed. The Doombar was spot on too, so I’ll definitely be back for my next trip to Denton.”

“Delicious food and truly outstanding service. The team went above and beyond—despite the delivery driver’s car breaking down, they still made sure the order arrived on time while the food was hot. Really impressed with their dedication and care!”

“Update: I first reviewed 3 years ago (see below), we live locally and still come here including tonight and again the food was lovely and even my fussy partner was happy with his dishes. Tarka daal was outstanding, chicken tikka tender, breads competently made. Very surprised at the bad reviews, noticed many are takeaway, we usually dine I'm and it's always been a good experience. Staff are also really lovely, we were put off by a really noisy group and they went to some trouble to set up the upstairs for us. Also offered us a bigger more comfortable table downstairs initially, even though it was fairly busy on a Friday night. So what one reviewer said about being made to sit at the smallest table is not the case now. Nice relaxed place to have a great quality curry at a reasonable price. Just to point out to another reviewer slating the food for not being authentically Indian: the restaurant is Bangladeshi, not Indian. The flavours are well balanced and nans cooked to perfection - fresh and fluffy soft with some browned bits. Samosas are large and taste freshly made, definitely above average quality. Fish dishes especially recommended, really tender. I've eaten here lots and with various people, and we've hardly even had a dish we've not been completely happy with. The staff make an effort and have a sense of humour.”

“Live around the corner from this pizza takeaway. It's not been open long so tonight we had the pizza takeaway and a garlic bread. First off ,real home baked pizza dough, second was the box was bone dry,no dripping grease under the pizza which was absolutely beut. The choice of garlic bread and pizza toppings are amazing. All in all.10/10 from me. New owners should be proud.”

“Amazing food every single time!! Lovely service highly recommended. My kids love the chocolate pizza's and set meal 3 with garlic bread and cheese!! It's the Best you will ever taste..”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Experience at Embankment Kitchen Had a great visit to Embankment Kitchen — everything was spot on. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the service was brilliant throughout. A special shout-out to Nari, who looked after us perfectly. Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!”

“Fantastic service at Schuh Kids – Trafford Centre. Huge thank you to all the girls at Schuh Kids in the Trafford Centre, especially Aisha. They were absolutely amazing with my son – so kind and patient, even when he was scared to get his feet measured. Aisha went above and beyond to make him feel at ease and turned what could’ve been a stressful moment into something fun. Proper customer service – warm, understanding, and professional. Massive thanks!”

“Very approachable and great service , staff so friendly especially Wendy keep up the work Wendy”

“Lovely cafe in a great location, the menu offers a great range of hot drinks , cakes and sandwiches. I personally had a nice coffee and slice of carrot cake. Would recommend especially as staff are so lovely and polite. The man who served me (Adam) was extremely helpful as I am new to the area gave good recommendations. I look forward to coming back to the cafe on another sunny day!”

“Very friendly and quite reasonable prices..lovely atmosphere and friday nights are a must ..best DJ in North west & karaoke you dont have to be an x factor constant to get up an have a go.... just be yourself an have a laugh”

“Great local pub with friendly staff and good prices on beer. Just beware of ordering spirits as they can end up being very expensive for a double. Sunday dinner is really cheap and cheerful at less than 7 quid for a HUGE plate of food that even a fat guy like me can never finish. Saturday night atmosphere is great with karaoke.”

“Best pub in Swinton by a country mile and by far the cheapest too. DJ on at the weekends and occasionally a live singer. No real ale (it would just not sell here) But plenty of other options. Great staff and good service.”

“Went for a couple of drinks a few weeks ago with a group of women. Good selection, plenty of space ... The barman was super friendly and helpful”

“Only outside seating area available because of lockdown, but had a brilliant fish and chip lunch in the large marquee in their beer garden today. Excellent food, friendly staff, and a heated marquee. Understand they have a new chef and a new menu which includes a cooked breakfast. Looking forward to returning soon for another meal.”

“We have just moved into the area and decided to take a chance on this place after a long day of unpacking. What a wonderful evening we had! We were greeted and served by Luize, Kate, and Sue who were all very warm, welcoming, and inviting. The food was gorgeous and exactly what we needed, and the atmosphere was great (I'm an 80s child and to hear lots of the music of the time was just the icing on the cake for me). Firmly think this will be one of our favourite places for the foreseeable future! Thank you guys for making a very hard day that much more bearable!”

“Great music on a Sunday best DJ around”

“Amazing! Nicola is a the exact person you want to see in a play centre/restaurant. Me and my children were welcomed from the front door (first time) and showed the play area, made conversation and made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. Nicola is clearly a child friendly lady (surprisingly not all play centre staff are!) she was happy, energetic, polite, funny and looked after everyone there even as it got busier. A massive relief to feel like this when you have a child who can be easily overstimulated and the reaction of new adults and environments can have a huge affect on behaviour. Tilly was so happy and couldn’t wait to get in and also spoke to Nicole as she clearly felt comfortable. Great play area for my 3 and 1 year old. After attending many play areas the staff make a huge different to wanting to return! Nicola told us about the sessions we will definitely be attending for SEN. Can’t wait to use our play passes and come back again and again!! Thanks Nicola xx Beth (Tilly and Mary) also breakfast was yummy thanks chef !”

“Really nice place for small kids. We spent time in the under 2's section and all the babies had a lovely time. Plenty of toys and plenty of space to place elsewhere for when they're older. Good food and coffee as well!”

“We love it here. Fantastic place for the kids. Staff are always fabulous, helpful and great with the kids. Food is good, not too expensive. Coffees good to. It is loud so if you have sensitive hearing taking some headphones would be advisable.”

“Went on Saturday night to see a unpopular film. it was a great experience, as zero queues, quick to get snacks. great seat positioning (right in middle of screen). the screen was great, sound awesome. Clean. and even the "cheaper" seats were comfortable with lots of leg room for a 6ft man.”

“Great experience! We took 5 kids bowling for my daughter’s 7th Birthday. The staff were great. We asked to switch lanes to give us a bit more space and they did so happily. We ordered drinks for all of the kids and 2 coffees for us, all great. Sharon was especially friendly and helpful. Thanks for a great time!”
