Scene in Manchester

“Been wanting to check out since moving to the area and loved the cozy atmosphere. I was SO happy they had vegan milkshakes as I've not been able to find anywhere that makes them! That and my avocado bagel was delicious. Love the different food options for a little brunch. Service was super friendly too. Will definitely be back to try their tea and coffee.”

“A wonderful community asset with a big smile and welcome. Fantastic fresh juices and milkshakes, served by owners that really love the locality and it's people. Be back soon”

“Best breakfast in south Manchester! Very cool cafe spot.”

“Was excited to visit Hea as I'd seen it last time I went to Prestwich but had already eaten at the makers market. We finally went on the weekend and it didn't disappoint! It's a small cafe so you might not find a seat quickly as when we went it was busy, but luckily the table in the window was available. There's lots to choose from on the menu such as Hong Kong style sandwiches, toast, and street food, as well as Hong Kong tea, coffee and bubble tea (but there are also normal teas and coffees). We ordered the ham and egg sandwich, satay steak sandwich and pistachio toast. Unfortunately some of the wraps are limited to summer months but we hope to try those next time. The wait was a bit long as it was busy, but it was worth the wait!! All very tasty and reasonably priced, especially if you go for the set menu. I definitely want to come back and try everything else!”

“Wonderful place, Aaron is such a great host and puts so much care from everything he bakes to the selection of coffee which is fabulous. There is a real sense of community when you go in. I have been a regular there for the last 5y and it never disappointed. Take the trip, enjoy a superb cup of coffee and a lush cake!”

“Great little sandwich bar may look old but the food is top notch plus it is actually open before work so you can get your breakfast early and if you are just walking the dog they give them little treats”

“Only just discovered the Damson tree today, 4 take out sandwiches lunchtime today absolutely lovely, Fair price too,”

“By far the best cafe I’ve stepped foot in, just mentioned to the lady behind counter that I was hungover and she only came over and asked did I want a paracetamol, if that’s not great service I don’t know what is? Breakfast spot on and great value for money, atmosphere great, 10 out of 10 from me! X”

“Taka was very lovely and enthusiastic. Cheerful attitude definitely put a smile on my face even through the frustration of all the trains have been cancelled. Thank you for being kind”

“To be honest, this guy makes freaking good pizza. Romana was simply delicious. Thin and crispy dough and lots of toppings. The only downside is that pizzas can only be ordered between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. But on the other hand, the price of the pizza is very low considering its high quality.”

“Amazing venue! The only place I found that do literally everything for you all within a very reasonable price! Booked in April for a surprise baby shower yesterday and it was perfect! The room was all decorated perfectly with the cutest little touches, Nat did the buffet for us which was lovely and fresh with a good variety of food! Bar was stocked with lots of different drinks & the bouncy castle was the best thing to keep the kids entertained and safe! Herself & dale literally couldn’t have done anymore for us! 10/10 experience & will definitely recommend! Thank you so much xxx”

“First trip to Oldham town centre for almost 50 years! Oldham road once had pubs on almost every corner as you headed there from Manchester City Centre, many from the long gone Oldham brewery. Madge fancied a trip on the Metro and we spotted this pub in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Well worth the trip for just this corner pub. A bank of ten real ales. Great vibe plus a front pavement seating area. Madge found a new Oldham brewery..We are Wolf. Bar snacks incl sausage rolls. Great visit.”

“An absolute drinkers paradise with friendly, efficient service. It’s only Monday and we have 11 of the 12 cask ales pouring plus additional craft keg lines. A truly fantastic pub to visit and lament that there’s not more like it.”

“Vibrant friendly staff. Welcoming and fantastic hairstylists. Always have a wonderful time and experience in this salon. . Love every minute there. Highly recommended”

“What a gaff. Brilliant staff, atmosphere, craic and goods on sale. Popping in with kids, family or mates - always a great experience and brilliant welcome. Everyone cares and makes ye feel like you're where you should be. Happy days.”

“Had a great time at an adult panto. The venue was fab great drinks and pizza too! No such thing as a bad seat at this venue.”

“Come one lunchtime (Tuesday/Wednesday or Thursday in term time) to the carol Nash hall to enjoy competent students from Chethams music school. Tickets (free) available on line. There’s soup and a roll available in the foyer for £3.50 in a cup. The music will be classical and perhaps be unknown to some but it’s marvellous to sit in a comfortable modern space. I’ve never so far, been to an evening concert there but intend to now. It’s very handy for Victoria train/ tram station.”

“Great tour of the local Stockport Brewery, Bernice on reception was helpful and Gary took us around the brewery with his facts.”

“Titfield Thunderbolt Matinee - fantastic show - exceptionally professional -just a plea for air con. we were melting!”

“Honest people and very friendly. I ordered a white ottoman gloss bed and a 250cm wardrobe and it was all so reasonably priced and fixed by them. Shabir and Sajid are kind humans and very honest. They rest assured me that if there are any problems they are a call away. They even helped me try to fix a dining table which I had lost the screws to through moving even thought it was not purchased in their shop. I will be buying all my furniture from here and I highly recommend them if you want good quality, great service, and above all a good price.”

“Hidden gem, great size stage comfortable seats and great atmosphere. Could do with plastic glasses for theatre drinks but not a Biggie.”

“We went to see the opening night of Aladdin and it was absolutely fantastic. We all had a brilliant time. The show itself was so entertaining having us all laughing and singing or clapping along. Everything was also really well organised. Fantastic family night out for a group age 5 to 73. Thank you and good luck for the rest.”

“Great to see the contemporary dance performance 'shed' by the Northern Rascals dance company at the Partington. Such a great performance dealing with timeless issues in a contemporary way in a performance which really spoke to me. Wonderful to have touring acts perform at this venue (let's bring more if we can!) as well as traditional theatre performances by the players.”

“We went for Smugs one man show which was absolutely brilliant, it is a small theatre and worked well to give a really intimate feel. A lot going on behind the scenes to provide such a great show, for me it was everything the theatre should be, special mention for front of house staff who were lovely. Wish them ATB for the future.”

“Just love it! Great little Theatre. Excellent team. Very friendly and good bar.”

“Fantastic small quaint theatre, great show.(fantastica musical) All production did a great effort.”

“I’ve been learning guitar for two months at the age of sixties and with no prior experience, and I’m really enjoying it! The Maunder’s School of Popular Music provides a welcoming and supportive environment. My teacher- Neil, is talented, patient, and great at simplifying strumming patterns and chords. Highly recommended for learners of any age!”

“The food was very delicious, and affordable, drinks were affordable and glad there were choices to choose. The DJ was great, a nice friendly place to celebrate with friends or partner.”

“Actually best shawarma I've every had and the chips despite being covered in sauce and salad are still incredibly crispy.”

“Owners and staff are excellent, very friendly and eager to help. Burger was tasty and juicy, very enjoyable. Over all, a great experience. Can't wait to try the pizza.”
