Snack pub in Manchester

“The Black Friar has been amazing to work with for our friendship group's annual Christmas lunch. They made the entire booking process extremely easy, with all the T&Cs clearly outlined from the start. On the day we were looked after by Jess, who was incredible, very quick to respond to any issues raised, never kept anyone waiting, so accommodating with our various quirks (like pictures), and was easy to reach when needed without making it seem like hovering. And always with a smile, of course. Truly, truly a standout member of the team deserving of all the praise. The food at the Black Friar was also divine, incredibly generous portions (that I admit, have bested me) and every bite was a pleasure for all the senses. Our whole group was very happy with the afternoon we got to spend there and we will definitely be looking into coming back for next year's annual Christmas lunch, a total gem of a pub.”

“Great little wine shop and bar with inside and outside seating. Wide choice of wines and other drinks in the bar as well as cheese/charcuterie platters. Friendly, efficient and knowledgeable staff. Particularly recommend wine flight Wednesday: three small (70ml) glasses of wine for a reasonable price!”

“Great little cinema which is made especially enjoyable by the little introduction that the staff do on each film, giving a little insight into how it was made, or other films the director has made. The place is welcoming to everyone, and when my partner and I went to watch The Handmaiden, there were a wide variety of people in the audience, which is always good to see.”

“What a fabulous throw back to the glamour days of the cinema. Totally charming old school cinema. Had a sofa to watch the film on !!! Towels in the bathrooms to dry your hands ? What a fabulous place, love it.”

“Great little bar , well worth a visit, good variety of beers.”

“Doggies and Moggies have been my Maggies Groomer for nearly 3 years, its an absolute pleasure to be their client. Maggie comes home looking amazing. Collection and delivery service is also available and so convenient. Thanks Leoni and Team. Carla”

“This is the second time I've been here, and it won't be the last time I'm back. The food and drink are great - amazing selection whether you're a vegetarian or not - but what really sealed the deal on both occasions I've been here is Joanna. What an absolutely fantastic host. Great memory, and very personable. The food is awesome - on every occasion I've been here it's been incredible. No matter how busy, the staff are attentive. Place is well laid out. Cannot rate this place enough. Love it”

“We visited one four five this afternoon for lunch in a party of three and we enjoyed a lovely lunch time meal of baked potato with cheese and bacon accompanied with a salad dressing and our other friend had egg royal with salmon. Follled by a cheeky Procesco. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon lunch.”

“We asked Emma at the Builders if we could organise a small party in the Pub for friends. She was very accommodating and organised sandwich platters for the guests. Its a great location for meeting with friends. The quality of the sandwiches was excellent with many comments for others on these. The drink range is really good and very affordable compared to other places in Knutsford. As the weather was nice we also got to enjoy the outside garden and heated terrace area. Overall a great experience. Thanks to Emma and the staff.”

“Best Shop ever Very Good Customer service”

“Loveliest of places. To work, relax, feel welcomed, learn from experts in one of the most laid back, informed and genuinely passionate and inclusive fun ways possible. Great pouring selection and lovely tables and layout inside and out. You feel totally at home as a solo customer, working or reading and relaxing. Wish I’d discovered before this year but making up for it now.”

“A hidden gem. I bought some take away vegan cakes. Brilliant, the blueberry muffin cake was fab! Update 22/11 - Saw Andrew White in the comedy space. Excellent gig. 10/10 Hot drinks would have been great on this icy evening.”

“Eaten from the normal menu loads via takeout/online ordering, but today we ate in and had the breakfast. Tried the Morning Glory - hands down best breakfast menu item I've ever eaten, along with a brilliant brew (I want to buy one of those mugs!) and lovely atmosphere. Service was top notch, friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back for more brunches and sandwiches.”

“29/07/23: spent a lot of time in Chorlton Green as a kid, but this is my first time here with wife and dog. A great combo. Good bar, small choice of craft ale but fantastic atmosphere, great view, friendly staff. Could be in some sunny Europeans bar!! Definitely worth a visit!! Ordered the Picasso Box for food from Truth Box Kitchen. Was great and filling! Chicken strips, mac n cheese, fries, corn on the cob, chicken wings!”

“This is the best groomers in manchester I've been using them for years wonderful service all round .”

“What a place! the tables, the food, the service! All exceptional. Alex behind the bar pours the best Guiness this side of north Manchester and is always on hand for table service. Highly recommend”

“We were staying within walking distance and went for Sunday lunch, which was very good. Returned later in the week and the meal was even better. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Highly recommended.”
