“Wow if you haven't been here before, this place is special. Such amazing fish and chips, and that Irish curry is to die for. I highy recommend visiting. I'm coming back soon. Thanks for the lovely hospitality.”

“Ordered the breakfast special with a brew. The mushrooms were nice, tomato was alright and egg was not bad. The beans were like warm and the sausage was standard catering type. The bacon was a bit fatty. All in all, not bad. Decent brekky at reasonable price.”

“Can’t rate enough everything is bang on. The dumplins and jerk chicken are to die for and so is everything else I’ve tried. The customer service is excellent and the Bakewell cake and wide variety of drinks are amaaaazing deffo my favourite place to order from”

“Been here many times with family and it's one of my favourites in all of Manchester. Food is always tasty and fresh, service is always nice and friendly.”

“I've not tried next door cafe but I will soon. Meeting spot for friends to get breakfast food always just what you ask for nicely presented too”

“I’ve been coming to The Hare and Hounds in Middleton week after week, and I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad experience here. From the classic Sunday roast to the rotating chef’s specials, the food is consistently 10/10 — it’s far beyond what you’d expect from pub food and easily rivals high-end restaurants. Every dish is beautifully presented, full of flavour, and perfectly cooked. Portion sizes are generous, and the prices are almost unbelievable given the quality you get. Drinks are also great value, with top brands served at very reasonable prices. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help, no matter how busy it gets. They always do their best to accommodate everyone including dietary needs, and make you feel right at home. Whether you’re after a comforting roast, a special night out, or just a few drinks in a warm atmosphere, this place delivers every time. Highly recommended — easily one of the best pubs in the area!”

“One of the best cafe experiences I have had in Manchester. Friendly staff, wonderful tasty food and is very popular with a lot of locals in Middleton. Everyone I work with recommends this cafe for the welcoming service and homely feel. & I can tell why. You truly feel wanted and welcome when you come in and to top of off the food is just as good as the staff.”

“Had a full English Breakfast it was freshly cooked and served with a smile”

“First time trying this place and it was delicious!! Had the share box and honestly couldn't get enough of it! All the staff there super friendly! Will highly recommend and for sure will be returning!! Thanks guys”

“Had the full breakfast, excellent food, hot and very tasty. There is plenty of choice and the staff are willing to help with any special requests if they can. The staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit for the breakfast.”

“Absolutely brilliant night, first class entertainment and landlady so welcoming and helpfull everyone extremely thoughtfull and one very kind gentleman bought my wife and I a drink even though we had only just met. Lovely down to earth people can't wait to go again.”

“Best breakfast served in Middleton friendly staff too”

“The food is made to order with fresh ingredients, the food is presented nicely and there is more than enough for 2 per course per person, the lady who took our order and served us was really nice and explained the dishes we was looking at and advised us on a few things as well, she took the time to have a chat with us inbetween courses, over all the food was excellent and we had food to take home with us too for later. There was only us in there so we had a good 2 hours to enjoy each course and enjoy our own company, we would definitely recommend to all our family and friends and we will be using this for our takeaway food as well as going back to eat in.”

“Staff are lovely, although very few items on the menu are made differently to how I like them, it is NOT bad representation of the food as it is AMAZING!!! I just like some items a little different thats all!! Staff are always pleasant and always bring a smile to my face!! Best place onion bhaji and bombay potato !! Xx”

“Great little place. Lots of tables in and out of cafe. Friendly staff. Tuna melt panini and chips. Latte Reasonably priced. Just what we were looking for”

“Really great experience. Excellent food, lovely staff and reasonable pricing. They never skimp on fillings and you will not regret trying. 10 out of 10. Thank you ladies, see you soon”

“Amazing food and the best customer service I’ve had from a family owned cafe and Jill was very friendly and helpful”

“Having used these frequently since they joined Just Eat, we used them for a family boxing day meal. Called ahead so as to be able to collect the meal, was just over £116.00. Nothing was forgotten, it was an excellent and easy transition. Got it home, everyone really liked it. Thank you guys.”

“Great little pub very polite and helpful bar lady nice quiet relaxed atmosphere”

“A recent addition to the 2025 Good Beer Guide. Not the greatest of choices of cask ale but what I had was on fine form.”

“From start to finish it was a lovely experience. The phone call was a breeze order fully taken and read back to make sure everything was on. It’s cash only and so it should be as cash is king. The interior is amazing all open plan you can see all of the kitchen and quite rightly has earned a 5 star food hygiene rating. The food all packed in re usable plastic boxes which come in real handy. The food quality and quantity was absolutely superb it was quite poss the best Chinese food I’ve tasted so overall 10/10 we all loved it oh and I got a complimentary bottle of Pepsi which went down a treat with my lads. Friendly staff is also a massive plus point.”

“This afternoon, I ordered a pizza for a family gathering, specifically requesting extra mushrooms. However, upon delivery, it arrived without the mushrooms. After a brief discussion with the manager, they promptly returned with a new pizza. I'm incredibly impressed by the service provided. Thank you!”

“Heard they just got new owners so went in to try. Instantly I as I go in, staff were very friendly. I got a doner and chips, and garlic bread pizza. The food was incredibly fresh, chips were crispy and doner was tasty, not to mention the pizza was cheesy and crispy. 5/5 definitely recommend.”

“Absolutely can not complain for the price, I can’t believe how good the prices are for one, and each time I’ve been in the past few weeks, each staff member has been a genuinely nice person, highly recommend”

“Nice cafe with usual Tesco menu. Food excellently cooked and presented, and even the beans were hot (which in my experience of most cafes is unusual). Cheerful and efficient staff and good atmosphere. What was really good was that you ordered at the counter rather at the impersonal machines which is becoming the norm (and is the reason we tend to avoid several other Tesco Cafes).”

“Staff are always friendly with good customer service and the food is fantastic, Definitely would recommend, its known as Middleton's best kebab shop for a reason.”
