Private functions in Manchester

“Veterans Breakfast club every Monday. Great place to pull up a sandbag and have a good old chat. Anita, Steve,Alan & Julie the fantastic 4 . Alan & Steve take your order then then even bring g it to you after Anita & Julie have worked relentlessly in the kitchen smashing out Breakfast after breakfast. All you do is sit back and drink as much tea & coffee as you can and put the world to rights. 9.30 - 11.30. The only rules are you need to book in advance so they have an idea of how much food they are going to need.”

“Friendly operator, good comms. Car arrived quickly. Friendly driver who knew where he was going and took a good route. Very reasonable price. Recommended.”

“Just discovered this pub and so impressed. Great friendly service from Melissa. Food was very tasty and you could tell everything was fresh. Compliments to Astra in the kitchen! Very generous portions too which delighted hubby. We went for lunch and there were tables available without booking. Very friendly atmosphere and will definitely be recommending friends and family to visit.”

“The new hotspot in town! Excellent service, I receive a very warm & friendly welcome each time I go for the soothing chai and delicious doughnuts! Oh, the Pink Tea is a must try! Highly recommend!”

“Never been here before even though it is right round the corner from me. The food was lovely! The staff were friendly and attentive. Service was very quick. Planning on going back for the festive menu with the family.”

“Great place and very friendly, nice easy going pub. Friday nights are great for karaoke with Jimmy”

“They have really nice staff member, bit I do want to know why im banned from there till October 12th wich is when im 18 even though I came in with my dad so he got me the drinks , overall they are really good though”

“Came in for a few drinks a couple of weeks ago and I would recommend this pub to anyone. All the staff were friendly, but Kerry really stuck out to me. She is a breath of fresh air, always smiling and Nothing was to much hard work for her. Such a lovely girl and a great assist to you.”

“We visited the shady oak tonight, to try the new menu! We were served by the lovely Michelle who gave us our free glass of Prosecco and told us about what to expect for the taster night. We tried and reviewed all these plates; bread, patè and olives - lovely patè but would be happy with less. Really liked the spicier patè and a nice portion of olives. Hallumi fries - I really enjoyed these, big portion but my partner isn’t keen on honey so he wasn’t into them as much as me. Salt and pepper wings - we both really enjoyed these and would come back just for these! Cajun wings - We liked these but not as much as the salt and pepper ones! Padron peppers - Wasn’t keen on these, maybe because we wouldn’t order them. If you want vegetarian choices there is probably better options out there. Salt and pepper squid - Nice flavour but abit chewy, definitely keep them paired with sweet chilli! Flat iron steak - We would definitely come back just for this. It was cooked perfectly to our liking and melting in the mouth. Lovely peppercorn sauce too! Wasn’t too bothered about the fried onions on the side. Shady oak burger sliders - These were so nice and juicy and as someone who prefers chicken burgers I really enjoyed it! Curry of the week - Not a curry we would choose as we prefer creamier currys like Korma, Butter Chicken, Tikka but was tasty, not too spicy and a good amount of chicken! We will definitely be back again soon to try more dishes and re order some of these ones too!”

“Great vibe! New landlady new bar staff all really lovely and welcoming....nice outside area and hopefully get the pizza over running again soon”

“An amazing cosy pub with a ceiling so low you almost have to limbo dance to the bar. They have a nice selection of pies on the bar if you’re peckish, and my fella was well happy to see Murphy’s stout on tap, makes a nice change from Guinness. There is a nice big beer garden out back as well with some seating under cover”

“Friendly barstaff. Customers are respectful and it feels safe to be drinking in there. Karaoke is fun. Jukebox and pool table”

“Came shortly after Christmas with our dog hoping to get some food&bevs. Lovely staff, dog friendly and the food was great. They went the extra mile when they were out of the vegetarian option and provided a delicious meal for myself”

“Amazing pub! Great location cheap prices and food is above what I expected! Came with my partner and we both left with our expectations exceeded! Our server was excellent and the bar staff were polite and helpful! Will definitely be returning!”

“Had Sunday lunch here today for 1st time & we will definitely be back. Our waitress Clare, Table 9, was so attentive checking if we wanted extra veg, potatoes or gravy. Large portion sizes & lovely food. We had the roast turkey & beef. Lovely”

“We really enjoy living at Burlington square apartments. Being a student at the dental school, it is an ideal place to live and also isn’t too far from the centre of Manchester. The apartments are very comfortable and modern. We particularly like that there is a communal area to study/work downstairs and the gym is great too. Wael is always very pleasant and helpful with any questions we have - Danielle and Hugh”

“Visited for a 70th birthday party. Great atmosphere and lively music.”

“The staff were brilliant, couldn't fault them at all especially the young lady that looked after us but they were all great, very friendly and attentive. The food was really nice, cooked to perfection, served in good time, hot and with a smile. If we are ever in the area again we would definitely pay another visit.”

“Everything was amazing, the food, the drinks, the vibe . I couldn’t fault anything. Saffron was amazing. She was great, positive and made the whole experience so much better!!! Such a great experience and would highly recommend!!! Being in a new city I was worried about going to bottomless brunch, but honestly this girl made us feel and ease and made the whole experience!!! Thank you Saffron and Brickhouse Social”

“Held a surprise 50th party here. Andy and team were excellent and are always welcoming. Do a great job and these are the sort of venues that need support”

“Absolutely great food at Gourmet. The place is clean the fresh is amazing very juicy and tender. The chicken steaks full of flavour and would definitely go again. Mocktails were really nice as-well. Friendly staff members and great customer service.”

“The pizza was absolutely delicious – the crust was perfectly crispy, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. The staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring I got my order promptly. The value for money is excellent, and they even have some unique topping combinations that are a must-try.”

“We popped in yesterday, can not fault this place. Remember when they started in South Manchester....Shakedown has got it spot on, can not fault them. This branch here, brilliant. Great food, ambience and the staff who looked after us, Freya and Declan, just brilliant and a credit to this store. Highly recommend 10/10”

“Really child friendly. Lovely staff, great service, free coffee refils and good value. Outside area is lovely and safe and the play area is well maintained”

“Went for a breakfast with the grandchildren, was very happy with the food, toast done to perfection, bacon had a chargrilled taste which I loved. The only let down was I like really runny eggs for my toast and beans. But not a dealbraker. The open fire was a bonus along with quite good coffee, being a breakfast coffee, it didn't give you that kick to wake your brain up, more like a brunch coffee.”

“I recently visited Nawaab Manchester and had a fantastic dining experience. The buffet was impressive with a huge variety of dishes to choose from, catering well to both adults and children. Every dish I tried was delicious, piping hot, and regularly refilled, which kept everything fresh throughout the evening. We arrived just after 6pm when the restaurant had just opened, and there was no waiting time at all, which made the start of our meal even better. The flavours were rich and authentic — truly a delight for the taste buds. While it is a little on the pricey side, I think it is justified by the sheer range and quality of food on offer. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for families, groups, or anyone who loves a generous and flavour-packed buffet.”

“Never been here before but there was a band playing that we wanted to see. Great that some pubs are still willing to have live music. Really busy but the staff were excellent so no problem getting served. Although there was a choice of bitters it's a shame that there was no cask ale. A good looking pub and a friendly atmosphere and the band were brilliant so a really enjoyable Saturday night.”

“Called in and had some food, portions and huge and absolutely beautiful. Steak was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend”

“Warm pub with open fire and a lovely atmosphere. Great company and an intelligent conversation. Highly recommended”

“What I was looking for: football and beer. Cool place.”
