The 30 Best Snacks and light bites in Manchester

“First time I've been here, and it was incredible. We weren't planning on going here but our original restaurant was closed. The service was great, really friendly team members. The choice of cocktails and ales was fantastic, with alcohol free options. The pizza was absolutely delicious. I had the mushroom and truffle with a blossom spritz. My son wasn't a fan of his margarita, but that's probably because it's not filled with crap! If I'm ever back in the area, I'll definitely be returning.”

“Wow! Food and Service absolutely amazing. My Gyros Platter was unreal and my wife had the Kleftico which was amazing. Best food we have eaten in a long time and the owners were so welcoming. We will definitely be back.”

“I had the pleasure of visiting Cameron’s Tea and Coffee Shop for the first time today, and I can confidently say it was an excellent experience. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I walked in. The food was absolutely delicious, with a fantastic selection to choose from. It's clear they take pride in providing high-quality service and food. I’ll definitely be returning soon and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy spot with great food and friendly service!”

“Lorna and staff are excellent. Very welcoming great beer simply a must”

“Had a wonderful experience this morning. Ruby welcomed me with a smile and suggested an addition to my order which was phenomenal. Carlos brought my full order to my table and made sure I had everything I needed. Catherine bused the dishes from my table when I was finished and ensured I was satisfied with everything. I had a lovely conversation with all three of them after I was finished and left feeling very thankful this was the coffee shop I chose while I was in town for a day. Very personable pleasant experience”

“Good place to grab a coffee, latte, cappuccino or thier unique turkish coffee blend served in a copper pot they will never give you a reason to complain. The place is always busy (which is a good sign) and is always clean. It has a good seating area with tables outside also. The hot drinks are always amazing. Overall a good place to sit and relax for a while. Customer service is good too.”

“On Friday 3rd October had a bra fitting. It was super and so pleased with the non underwire bras that I purchased from the fitting. Thank you”

“A very pleasant place to stay in a lovely location. I was looking for a proper holiday location within close driving distance of Tameside and Manchester, Christie's hospital in order to look after an elderly relative. I looked for a proper hotel with a dining room, a bar proper cooked food and somewhere dog friendly. I could not have found anywhere better. My elderly step-mum needed modified meals; small portions and easy-to-swallow foods. The chef and all the staff bent over backwards to make sure she was catered for - room service was no trouble. Only wish I'd had time to enjoy The Stables. I'll definitely be back.”

“great coffee, friendly service, sandwiches fresh and warm. I recommend staying here”

“Absolutely beautiful food Best hang over tackle ever. Very friendly delivery drive Always very well priced Feed 4 lads for 22 quid inc delivery. 10/10 guys”

“Beautiful independent coffee shop. I ordered the Guest Espresso - Friedhats Ethiopian; the strength and flavour were phenomenal, it had a rich sweetness to it. It was really cool to watch their process too.”

“I've been to a lot of different classes here over the years, and the teaching quality has always been great. They've got a ton of nice equipment (which they keep *very* clean), and lessons are always well planned out to challenge each person in the class. I've also done occasional private lessons to work on specific goals, and they've been really helpful each time. The instructors are friendly and approachable, and I'd absolutely recommend Bodybarre to people at any level of fitness. Lots of fun to be had!”

“The service was top-notch—friendly, prompt, and attentive. The staff made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in, accommodating special requests with a smile. The highlight for me was the full breakfast. It’s an incredible value, offering generous portions of delicious, freshly made dishes. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the bacon was crispy, and the pastries were divine. Every element of the meal, from juices to coffee, was exceptional. Overall, Wrappers delivers excellent service, mouthwatering food, and a wonderful ambiance. Highly recommend starting your day with their full breakfast. Can’t wait to visit again!”

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”

“Best sandwich shop in South Manchester by a mile, have been coming here for well over 10 years. Lynn and the team are fantastic, always happy to see you. The food is outstanding and exceptionaly good value. I HIGHLY reccomend a Shark Special with bacon, although I've tried nearly all the menu over the years and there is not a single item I didn't enjoy. Do call ahead for quick pickup, it is busy between 11.30-2.”

“Excellent!!! Definitely five stars! Brought my six year old here today and it was brilliant! Really cheap and such good fun. Staff brilliant, really helpful and friendly. One staff member in particular helped us a lot with the bigger wall and harnesses. We are 100% coming back. If you're an adult and accompanying a child, wear comfortable clothes because if you're physically able to join in; you will definitely want to! Excellent place. They also serve food and have good facilities.”

“They'd just opened, I plonked myself on a seat and ordered a breakfast muffin, it's literally still in my hand now and it's 'effin delicious. Friendly and quick service, freshly cooked and I live nowhere near but ill come again when I'm on training at the brewery. Could not recommend more.”

“I always make an effort to visit here, it’s my favourite pub and well worth the 45 minute train journey! Nice staff and they always have decent beers on tap which are always changing and have a lot of bottles to choose from as well. There are board games and snacks too for those who fancy that.”
