Quick lunch spots in Manchester

“Absolutely lovely, the park is so pretty and the staff here are super stars! I’d recommend feeding the ducks at the pond just up the hill to, and afterwards try the chicken curry, it’s life changing.”

“Firstly Congrats to Chef on his new arrival! A very family and community focused little cafe with an amazing delivery service. Tony goes above and beyond with his attention to detail and customer service. 10/10 Guys. Peace”

“Really lovely warm atmosphere and the staff go out of their way to see you get the food you want from breakfasts to home cooked favourites, it's been a pillar of the community for over a decade and is the place to be everyday, very reasonable prices”

“Had our Christmas social lunch here for the 2nd year on the run and as last year the service, food and atmosphere was first class!”

“I attended an event in the upstairs lounge bar. I loved the environment. The staff were quick and friendly. Overall, a great time was had”

“Came in yesterday at around 7 to grab some food and a quick drink with a friend, Keira on the bar was lovely, very friendly, chatty & pours a lovely pint! Despite having a queue at the bar she still managed to keep a smile on her face and give every guest the best & quickest service possible. She even told us about a great deal on the restaurants app for two for one on the cakes, which we used to get desserts for when we was finished! The food was amazing, we had a farm giant burger and a mixed grill. Wonderfully cooked and presented! Will definitely be returning here!”

“Great traditional pub. Great entertainment on Friday nights for music & karaoke. The managers are great as are the staff. Great atmosphere and lovely group of regulars. Through the day, there is a beer garden at the back which is a sun trap and great for a relaxing pint after work.”

“The food was amazing. Not much atmosphere, but we went during lunchtime, so it was very quiet. Tables left dirty even though it was quiet, but the food was worth the money and worth the travel. Would recommend and would visit again. Paid £36 for this platter”

“Been twice recently, once for breakfast once for a carvery. Both time the food was fantastic, hot, fresh and tasty. The chef came over both times making sure everything was OK and had a chat when we had finished our meals, bar staff are lovely and welcoming too. Can't wait to come back for the cheese and onion pie as it looks mega”

“Love the food here - definitely the tastiest, freshest pizza around. It’s as close to authentic Italian pizza that you can get, and I’ve eaten pizza in Napoli. The people are friendly and the delivery time is excellent too. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Had a surprise 60th for my dad at this venue and can only say good things. The complementary buffet was lovely and the staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough. I would recommend this venue to my friends and family for any of their parties.”

“Nice branch of Costa. Busy but still able to find seats . Staff lovely and customer service was at the forefront .”

“Pizza pan is very underrated. I highly recommend!”

“My recent restaurant visit was a truly delightful experience. I kicked things off with a wonderfully decadent chocolate gelato, which was rich and incredibly satisfying. To drink, I had a crisp Sprite, a refreshing choice that perfectly cut through the sweetness of the dessert. For an appetizer, I enjoyed some soft and flavorful focaccia bread, served with classic balsamic vinegar and fragrant garlic oil for dipping. Beyond the enjoyable food, the staff truly stood out. James was my server, and he was incredibly kind and polite throughout the evening. We had such a funny and engaging conversation, full of laughter and interesting banter. And a huge shout-out to Kelly, who was the chef! It's always great to know who's behind the delicious food, and it certainly tasted like it was made with skill and passion. Their warm personalities really enhanced the atmosphere and made the meal even more memorable. I'm truly grateful to both James and Kelly for such a pleasant and entertaining evening.”

“First time trying this place even though I live close by. The pizza and chicken wrap was great, and ready for collection in just about 15 minutes. I will certainly order again from here.”

“Really fresh raw tuna and salmon. I loved the combination of flavours in my bowl with some wakame (sea weed) and their oke poke sauce with wasabi, soy sauce and spices. A must try in Manchester. It also was surprisingly filling.”

“About to embark on a weight loss journey. I ordered my last takeaway for a long while; and well it was the best kebab I’ve ever eaten, and cheesy chips too! Highly recommend.”

“Flic decided to have a day out in Marple. We started at this lovely Robinson's pub next to Rose Hill station. I am pretty sure I have been here a few times many years ago. Large open plan and plush interior with TV's and an outside terrace, also with a TV. Stairs down to a small beer garden beside a large car park. Three of four handpumps in use on my visit. Went for a seasonal Pale Ale, AMO 4.4%. Really refreshing.”

“Just ordered for the first time, a little nervously given the early negative reviews, but am happy to say the whole order was delicious. I can see this becoming our new go-to takeaway and I'm looking forward to testing some other dishes in the future.”

“Shop is always kept really clean and the staff are always very friendly and polite especially Kay who always looks after us when we order on the Subway App. Has a few seats for dining in, and always does great sandwiches and don't forget the delicious cookies!”

“Went for Sunday lunch and had a fabulous meal. It’s a set menu and had all 3 courses for £27. The food was well presented, hot and very tasty. You can’t fault it and I would highly recommend a visit here.”

“Almost walked past the place and thankfully we didn't. Welcomed in and the staff who took order was very chilled and polite. Food was a very good portion and the nan bread was fresh the salad and sauce that also came was very tasty and really made the meal! The chicken was of high quality very soft and juicy deffo going back again. This is real food. Worth every penny.”

“Lovely fish and chips, friendly service and good prices. Haven't tried any of the Asian food but would expect it to be up to the same high quality”

“Really friendly and helpful staff, good veggie breakfast and great value for money. Left feeling nice and full ready to start my day! I’ll definitely be going back!”

“So pleased I've discovered the atmosphere bar. Located within the university house this is the university's main SU bar but also well used by Peel Park visitors. The bar is located on the first floor of the building and is easily missed if you don't know it's there. Once inside there are three distinct and different parts of the bar. Firstly the main bar and largest space is like a sports bar with plenty of screens to watch live sporting events. Secondly, there is a games bar with pool tables and retro arcade games and darts. Thirdly there is a mezzanine floor which carries a whole different decor and vibe. Much more intermate and lounge like you can easily find your own space to work or have a private drink. I didn't sample the food but it appeared to be very good value for money. The beer selection was excellent and very well priced. £3.80 for a pint of Guinness and £3.70 for a pint of Madri. The Guinness was excellent too. When I'm next in Peel Park I'll certainly pay a visit to Atmosphere.”

“Tried a salt beef bagel, it was really good. Large portions and good sauces. Just wasn’t a fan of the chicken “rips” because it was chicken thigh instead of breast, but the breading on it was nice. Would definitely go again and try the pastrami and truffle fries. It was halal”

“Absolutely gorgeous food every time. Staff are friendly. Been coming here for a while now and never had any issues with food quality regardless of day or time. Fully recommend”

“Had an amazing experience at Gourmet Burger Kitchen! Max was outstanding- very attentive and thoughtful. He guided us through the menu,and made sure our preferences were looked after throughout. We had the Smoky Clucker and Rocketman burgers—both packed with flavour and cooked perfectly. The Oreo Shake was easily the best we’ve ever had: thick, delicious, and great in quantity. The Onion Rings were unbelievably good (I’m definitely coming back for them!), and the Garlic Mayo tasted wonderfully authentic. The overall experience felt like fine dining, and the small touches like providing tap water made it even better. My girlfriend and I had a lovely time and left extremely satisfied. Highly recommend—great food, great service, great atmosphere!”

“Just been for the first time, best curry in ages! Definitely be back again! Unusual for three people to have different starters and mains and all be over the moon, friendly staff and the food was piping hot!Very very tasty and plenty of it.”

“All you can Eat Thia Restaurant located in the orient food court. Just over £20 per head, plenty of seating, there's a small service charge of 5 %. Our server was Toon who was lovely, excellent attentive service. Many thanks Toon for looking after us. Food was amazing very authentic various dishes, small salad bar and a good selection of sweets with a help yourself icecream machine. There is also a fully licensed bar serving traditional Thia beer. All in all very good value for money with excellent service in this relaxed Thia restraunt. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Thiakhun.”
