Rustic restaurant in Manchester

“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.”

“Christmas lunch today was delicious and presented beautifully. 1st Class. Well done to the chef! Service was excellent. Highly recommend. From the Winesday Ladies.”

“I became unwell while staying at the hotel and Krina provided exceptional support. She acted with genuine care, regularly checked in, and made sure I had everything I needed to feel better. Her professionalism and compassion turned a difficult moment into a comforting one. She is a real asset to the team.”

“First time visit at 1730 on a December weekday. Fairly quiet on arrival but warmly welcomed and sat down at a table. The restaurant is very modern and nicely decorated for Christmas. Menu is extensive and has a good selection for both meat and vegetarian options. All drinks are non-alcoholic which wasn't a problem though the content of the Sangria cocktail did use a soft drink with a sweetener. They serve normal Coke but am unsure of other non-sweetner drinks. The food was excellent, all freshly prepared. Some additional table presentation for the giant meatball was a nice touch. Good sized portions for all courses. Taste was excellent and the Turkish baklava with the extra table presentation was divine. Service was added to the bill and well deserved. All the staff were attentive and did their jobs well. The restaurant was busier as we left with families arriving. Overall a 5* and would definitely return.”

“Cute little café, nice staff, very friendly and happy to answer questions about the menu. Loved the Irish Coffee they made me on request ❤️”

“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”

“Had a few orders from here now. Always beautifully prepared, stone fire cooked pizzas and they have a twist on the dough balls to what looks like a square pizza and then you take a closer look and its Nutella and biscoff wrapped in dough and cooked throughout. Absolutely gorgeous. Such lovely staff.”

“My wife and I came for lunch, having previously visited for drinks a few weeks ago. We are trying all the local eateries as we will shortly be moving here. The staff were very welcoming and attentive and it all seemed very well organised. The food was excellent and we both really enjoyed the Sunday Dinner menu which was available on bank holiday Monday. Decor is really nice and the pub has a welcoming feel. Nice to see dogs are welcomed in the bar and garden areas. Will most definately be returning”

“Excellent service all round. Restraunt area full but spaces available in the bar area. Well worth a visit. Pensioner portions are the correct size and not over facing you. Meals delicious. Staff very warm and welcoming. Ample parking.”

“⭐ One Love Kitchen – A True Gem in Ashton ⭐ I’ve just had one of the best meals I’ve ever tasted from One Love Kitchen. The fish is absolutely incredible — I ordered it half an hour in advance so they could prepare it fresh, and it was worth every minute. A perfect fillet, no bones, beautifully seasoned, and cooked with real love. I added the jerk sauce, and honestly, it complements the fish so well… rich, warm, and full of flavour. The staff are outstanding too — decades of experience in Jamaican cooking, and you can taste that wisdom in every bite. They treat you like family the moment you walk in. This place has become my go-to for Jamaican food in Ashton. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out. One Love. Unity in a time of division.”

“Cracking place in an up and coming area of Stockport. Great vibe inside with plenty of seating. Good selection of food on the menu with gluten free option. Cocktails and wine choices. Service was quick, friendly, Wendy was just lovely and made us feel looked after, thank you! Lovely style of decor with art and lighting. Food was great and tasty, well presented. We had the tapas and cocktails. The squid was delicious! Very reasonably priced. Definitely going to return and good start to the evening before walking into the centre for drinks in other bars.”

“Neat little pub with a great homely feel to it, staff were accommodating, the female manager was truely above and beyond, Connor was also pours a great pint! 10/10 would recommend”

“The food was absolutely incredible, definitely the best Tapas I've eaten outside of Spain! The service was on point, Jose made us feel welcome immediately and was very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be going back for more, I loved it!!”

“Lovely dinner! Great service and atmosphere. The mushroom arancini balls were to die for!! Thanks, Kelsey, for such great service! We will definitely go back!”

“Great service and excellent food. It was our first time here and was really enjoyable. The meals were large and very tasty. Excellent value for money .”

“Absolutely amazing with authentic and imaginative recipes. You can also choose from the many different authentic sauces they have, each with a different spice level if your sensitive/don't enjoy spice you can choose to have no sauce or choose from the less spicy ones!”

“Outstanding pub. Situated a twenty minute walk, depending on fitness, from Kearsley train station. Walk is downhill there but obviously uphill back. Easily accessable from Farnworth by bus. Child and dog friendly. Lovely country pub decor, with a main room and little quieter nooks at the front. Bar is small so there will probably be queueing. Said to be one of the top five pubs in Bolton area and I heartily agree. I had a wonderful chilly con carnie and my wife had the cheese and onion pie, she said it was the best homemade cheese and onion pie shes ever had in a pub, amazing chef & staff and we should know because weve been in quite afew. Car park and beer garden at the back. Beautiful setting”

“Decided to have a quiet midweek meal top celebrate my birthday and my daughter passing her driving test. Paul couldn't have delivered better service. he greeted us warmly on arrival and congratulated us both, which took me by surprise. He even had a birthday card and a congratulations card ready on our table. the service from Paul was attentive and friendly whilst the food was great too. we also took advantage of the tesco vouchers offer for a total bargain. thank you!”

“The Birches is a very welcoming pub, great atmosphere with an open fireplace to warm any weary traveller. A great selection of beers and larger, I had a glass of their Australian Shiraz, which was very nice; much nicer than what is usually served in pubs. Food is served using locally sourced produce. It is traditional, very well cooked, and served on nice warm plates. Recommended to all.”

“First class! I booked here for my 50th birthday and had a great time. The manager had kindly decorated the tables so that it felt like a party. Even though our tables had to be socially distant they still made or feel special. The food was good excellent. They had made platters of mixed starters for each table that were huge portions and delicious. Everyone was really happy with their main courses. The calzone is enormous! The octopus pasta superb! I can’t thank them enough for the service, welcome and food. I think I’ll be a regular in future!”

“Tasty breakfast and great coffee! Fresh, quick, perfect for a morning boost. Friendly service too .”

“Came today with my partner and 2 children amazing food and even did something they don’t have on the menu. Very friendly service highly recommend.”

“Great local pub. Amazing friendly staff. Fantastic atmosphere. And a large beer garden”

“Been to the Farmers Arms and Fidelma was serving barmaid.... I can honestly say the service she gave was top notch, I've worked in bars all my life and people are quick to complain yet hesitate to compliment.... The warm welcome and friendly atmosphere is boosted by this lady's personality! The landlord/landlady who ever they may be are extremely lucky to have such a fantastic member of staff working for them and hopefully she is rewarded for her attitude towards the customers, I can whole heartedly say I will be returning due to warming atmosphere and welcoming attitude from this woman alone..... Completely recommend visiting this establishment, we have not been disappointed.... Fantastic service, well done.”

“We had a big group booking for our annual Christmas meal with our friends and the food was incredible. The servers couldnt do enough for us and catered to our every need. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back next year”

“Lovely pub. Very busy so it's best to book. Great food at reasonable price.”

“Great Irish pub! Good Guinness and good selection of Irish whiskey too. We came on the weekend so quite busy but a good vibe. Will definitely be back here and recommend it for anyone coming for drinks in town.”

“Beautiful location, friendly courteous staff and incredible food. Came on a Sunday for the first time, great old school pub feel in the bar and a nice layout throughout. View from the rear beer garden is beautiful. Cant compliment the food highly enough. I had the venison, haggis croquette with neeps and tatties and it was divine! My wife had the rag pudding and was equally impressed.”

“Very nice pub/restaurant/hotel. Very good selection of beers by JWLees. Warm atmosphere and brilliant food - the braised beef and mushrooms was exceptional. In the middle of the country but only 200 metres from the local station. Highly recommended.”

“First time dining there tonight and we can’t wait to be back! Shocked we had a hidden gem on our doorstep and didn’t realise. We had a mix of Sunday lunches, burgers and steak at our table and there wasn’t a bad thing to say about it. The beef on the roast literally melted on your tongue. Very good staff who checked up on us a lot to make sure we had everything we wanted. Many thanks to Jason as well, he was fab looking after us, very approachable and witty, which made the meal even better. We will be back soon!”
