Tasty in Wilmslow

“Last night, I called in for a takeaway pizza. There was a tiny issue with the timing as the place was so busy but it was absolutely nothing to concern myself about. But ,because of this, the young lady serving me, Victoria, could not have been more helpful. I left wood fire smoke with a smile on my face only get home to eat the usual delicious pizza that I always order. If you have never been to this restaurant, then it’s time you did. I wholeheartedly recommend it as the pizzas are the best in town and staff are lovely.”

“This is a cozy cafe. The food and the drink tasted special and nice. We enjoyed our leisure time there.”

“Had two home deliveries and both the driver's we lovely polite and chatty The order arrived on time and everything was in there Only draw back is make sure you have shopping bags to move the shopping from the baskets as Waitrose don't pack the shop in carrier bags”

“Massive store very well stocked with upstairs clothing etc.Fabulous xxxx”

“Family run Mexican eatery, various margarita options. I really enjoyed the peach and jalapeño wings and birria tacos”

“A serious specialty coffee shop—just how I like it. They serve premium beans for both filter and espresso, and the staff is exceptionally kind and knowledgeable”

“From the moment we sat down, the whole experience just flowed—the kind of easy, confident service that lets you settle in and focus on the important stuff: the food. We kicked things off with the starter platter, and honestly? Every single item stole a tiny piece of my heart. Fresh, bold, nothing hanging around in the kitchen too long—the dishes landed on our table quicker than my nephew spots Pidgey (my pet pigeon) on the bannister. Then came the lamb shank… unbelievably tender. It didn’t just “fall off the bone”—it practically handed in its resignation. Silky, rich, and cooked with the sort of patience I wish my smart meter had. My wife’s dishes were just as impressive. Every bite looked like it transported her somewhere peaceful—meat and chicken both juicy enough to make you rethink every dry dish you’ve ever tolerated in life. I didn’t manage to grab photos of everyone else’s food, but trust me, the table was full of happy faces and clean plates. If you’re thinking about coming here for dinner, do it. The food’s on point, the service feels natural, and the décor gives the place a warm, modern charm. Fully recommend.”

“We have been here twice now for our work Christmas meal as well as various times throughout the year and we have always found the venue to be very friendly and welcoming. The menu is ideal for me. Thank you so much for making our Christmas meal a lovely event.”

“Very great cafe. The barista Vicky was so kind! Loved the experience.”

“Such a lovely place. Wonderful food, volunteers, people and atmosphere. There is a nice store that sells nice wine, soaps, salt, jewellery, greeting cards including wooden greetings cards, chutney, tea, jams..and many more. For me, it's love at first sight.”

“I would like to thank Mr Saleem and the entire staff for their impeccable service. We went in as a family of 10 as a last min birthday treat. The entire atmosphere and the ' nothing is too much' attitude the staff had really will have us returning and highly recommending this place. To top it all off the food was amazing!! The mix grill platter is a must! The lamb karahi was perfect, the naans were fresh and soft and the kids even loved their burgers! Something for everyone. Highly recommend.”

“A nice place to visit! The Food was great and the atmosphere too. There is a small parking available, but I doubt you will find a space if it’s busy. I will definitely go back again.”

“Fancy place! Formal. Our first time here. Shoulda dressed better. LOL. Service and food superb! Very vegan savvy down to the fish oil and shrimp paste. Only sugar for tea, no sweeteners. But the veggie sampler and mains were positively delicious and the beautifully dressed staff so attentive. We drove past it once as it is attached to the pub and you can only really see it from one direction.”

“Always delightful experience. Food is excellent. Always go for the rice or noodle box and find these portions huge. The staff are honestly the nicest.”

“Fantastic little pub right in the heart of Handforth great atmosphere plenty to do every day of the week from bingo darts pool they even have a games collection which is great for adults and children staff are friendly and very welcoming”

“This is our 2nd visit here ( we dont live locally) so our visita are far apart. The food on both occasions was delicious. We shared the CAMEMBERT for two, with 4 slices of toasted Ciabatta and red onion relish. Extremely tasty. I had the Lentil Cottage pie with vegetables. Really tasty. Hunters chicken was very tasty too. We ate outside. Then went inside for a coffee and to investigate this lovely old house. I read and looked at the photographs on the walls and found out it had belonged to The Boddington Family. Staff were lovely. Very helpful and friendly.”

“Tried the shawarma today and it was excellent—perfectly seasoned, fresh ingredients, and served hot. The staff were welcoming and the restaurant had a nice, clean atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone who loves good shawarma.”

“This is the best jalebi place in Rusholme, if you are looking for the crunchy, thin hot jalebi. Friendly and welcoming staff and all the food is freshly prepared on order. Their traditional halwa puri breakfast is yum and great value and it’s available every day and all day.”

“Great experience overall! Very friendly service and great ambience. The food is also good. I'm not a huge fan of chain restaurants, but I have to admit that Gusto exceeded my expectations; food was actually quite decent. We went for lunch on a Saturday, 3 people. We sat on the outdoor area, which is very cute and spacious - ideal for those with baby prams like us!. We tried pasta carbonara, roasted vegetables salad, and the burger. We also had some starters. Everything was tasty and very well presented.”

“Popped in at 10pm on a Saturday night. The place was heaving. I had the "#7" from the board - Chicken & Kobeda - with rice (and an extra naan). £17.60 with a can. Simply the best food I've ever had in Rusholme. Took half of it home. Fresh. Huge portions. Can't wait for tea. Friendly staff too. Don't hesitate.”

“Delicious food and really catered for my dietary restrictions. Great extensive gluten free menu. Would highly recommend, will be back. The women behind the bar are great and really friendly! Lovely cosy spot.”

“Small birthday celebration with my wife. Everything just perfect. The cake, waffle, the atmosphere, the cleanliness. Worth every penny. *best chocolate cake i ever had in MCR”

“Excellent food and excellent customer service. Had a situation in which they gave me half the order but they quickly rectified it immediately and were so very kind. There's a reason why they're really famous on the curry mile. I recommend the Chicken Wrap!!”

“Went in for a coffee which was very nice also had a bit of cake which was good the shop was quite and plenty of seats to sit down”

“Dedicated gluten free menu, seated and served promptly even though they were very busy on a Saturday morning, great service and great food.”

“Exceptional Service – A Standout Experience with Vicki! I have stayed in many hotels over the years, encountering a wide range of service experiences, but I can confidently say that Vicki at the Merlin Innkeepers is in the top tier of hospitality professionals. From the moment we arrived, she was polite, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Her accommodating nature and willingness to go above and beyond made our stay truly enjoyable. What stood out the most was how effortlessly she balanced professionalism with warmth, making us feel valued and well taken care of. No request was too much trouble, and her attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our stay was smooth and comfortable. Because of Vicki, I will wholeheartedly recommend staying at the Merlin Innkeepers. Excellent service makes all the difference, and she exemplifies what true hospitality should be. Thank you, Vicki, for making our visit so memorable—we will certainly be back!”

“Went there for the first time last night. Amazing pizza and service. The staff was very welcoming. Best wishes!”

“Great service, especially at meet counter….they serve out of time while….really cooperative Saqib Bro♥️”

“This is a huge store but very well set out. Coffee shop is great and although you had to order via a machine your coffee and sandwich was delivered to the table. It was very busy but the service was great. The table next to me had not understood the ordering correctly and over ordered so when the drinks were delivered there were too many. The lady waiting the table was so kind she sorted them out without causing and issue and organised a refund too. Very thoughtful. Sometimes we older people don't understand these machines and it would be a better idea in my opinion if there was someone there to assist with this or just by asking older people if they would like assistance ordering. As I said it was rather busy but well done to the lady who sorted it out.”

“My son and I were visiting Fletcher Moss for the first time, and didn't know where to go for food and drinks! Anyway, we decided to go Ye old cock! Well, it turned out to be the perfect choice. Beautiful clean pub with character. Great menu choices. Also, fantastic price deals..a meal and a premium drink each (we chose a Guinness, and a 250ml glass of wine) all for £10!! Great service too. I will definitely go again.”
