Themed events in Manchester

“Very friendly pub next to the canal with outside seating, live music every second Thursday. Well worth a visit.”

“Great set up and the escape room was great fun. We did Sawtopsy and really enjoyed it. The room had a lot of physical locks - combinations and key based.”

“Fantastic theatre experience! The performances are always high quality, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere and a perfect place to enjoy live shows. Highly recommend visiting Quays Theatre!”

“What a brilliant party we got when we booked Dazzle. From the moment he arrived he engaged with the party girl and all the family. Mega organised and friendly so the party went so smoothly and everyone (children and parents) were charmed and enthralled. Fantastic and subtle/ sensitive behaviour management of a room full of excited 5 and 6 year olds meant the pressure was off us as parents and we could watch and enjoy along with everyone else. Great inclusion of all but really made the birthday girl feel special. A consummate professional I would recommend to anyone! Thank you Dazzle!”

“The girls love going here and the annual productions are always excellent. It's really helped give them confidence and encourage them to get involved with the arts.”

“This place is five ⭐ stars!! Afternoon event for a Holy Communion! Food, atmosphere and staff all amazing. A sense that they all enjoy their work!! Very clean and probably the best breakfast food I’ve had in years! Perfection!! Value for money also was a 5/5!!!! My son who has autism enjoyed his food and ate it so that’s a big compliment!!! We will be back!!!”

“Lit up from the outside this venue is very welcoming. Soft ambient lighting indoors always gives a romantic feel drawing you to go inside. Also the promise of 2 for 1 cocktails might have something to do with it. I have eaten here a few times now and it lived up to expectations in every way. Inside the lighting does seem quite dim but adds to the atmosphere and the decor is rustic Caribbean and this makes you imagine you are in a different country. Everything is brightly coloured and fun. I have been fortunate enough never to have to book in advance but have seen it both very busy and also quite at other times. The table sauces look scary hot but do compliment the food incredibly. Even the toilets represent a beach hut feel. Food has never been fast to come out no matter how busy it is but worth the wait when it does. Also Jamaican Red Stripe lager on tap for as true Caribbean feel. Did I mention the cocktails. Food wise I have tried the Jerk chicken breast and half Jerk chicken. Both made with ghost chilli pepper sauce. Yes it's hot but you can still taste the flavours. Looking forward to my next visit.”

“Fantastic little tea room. I'm not one for writing reviews, but felt this place really deserved one. Very busy when we arrived, we were lucky to get some comfy chairs in the window. Amazing bacon bap with lovely thick tasty bacon from the local butcher, huge mug of delicious black coffee, very happy to pay £6.95. Charming staff, will definitely be back.”

“The food is absolutely amazing. We ordered hummus, mixed grill and chicken wings, the meat was very tender and juicy. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent service by Raj tonight at Bombay Flavours. Me and my Dad had a great night and thought the food was of exceptional quality. Would definitely recommend, especially the Grandma’s Chicken Curry. Thank you Raj and team for such professional service.”

“Amazing restaurant and would definitely go back again!! Quality of food was great, everything cooked to perfection and portion sizes were really good too. Service was really good, especially for a busy Saturday evening. Ambience was lovely, we sat in the glass roomed area, needed to put the heaters on but was warm enough. Thanks to the amazing team, it was a great experience”

“A true gem of a place. The staff are bloody lovely, knowledgeable and great at recommending dishes or drinks to compliment the food. It's a really relaxed place, the music is great and the food delicious. On the few times I've visited recently its felt cosy, welcoming and homely. I would highly recommend.”

“This cafe should shout about itself more. Second visit and just as good as the first time. Everything we had was fresh and tasted home cooked. Generous portions and great value. We were spoilt for choice on the menu so tried the five salad option and a slice of the greek spanakopita. Both excellent and couldn’t fault seasoning and flavours. Dessert was great too.”

“One of my husband's favourite treats is a delicious goat curry from this establishment. Always delicious & hot, & service is friendly & prompt, with a smile. Their cakes are delicious too! Enjoy!”

“We stumbled upon this charming Belgian-style bar while out for a few drinks in Altrincham with my wife—and what a fantastic find! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a traditional Belgian vibe that adds real character. The drinks were excellent, and although we didn’t try the food (we’d already eaten), it looked delicious and well-presented. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!”

“Brilliant place to tea staff are fantastic. Once they get to know you and your favourite food they know of by heart My favourite is stake Canadian and cup of latte. With mayonnaise on That it. Everytime I go they know what I like. Joshua Massey It brilliant. Small cafe resalable prices. They make nice cakes as well. Please give them ago”

“Great full English breakfast. Really close to stockport shopping centre so in a great location. Amazing service as well. Definitely pop by again”

“Couldn’t recommend the place enough; been meaning to visit since it opened but only just got round to it and I can’t wait to go back. Cycled over, so made use of the plentiful bike racks. Really loved the outdoor area, but sat inside and ordered coffees and breakfast. Service was friendly, coffee and food was all grand; especially the rhubarb and yoghurt granola bowl. Breakfast muffin was tasty too. Looks like a great place for food, events, drinks, etc. My kids had a nice time and I bet on sunny days that outdoor must be hammered. Will be back soon I hope”

“Great place to visit, friendly environment and amazing staff, football matches, Shisha, coffee, tea, juice.”

“Great place to eat and relax after a nice walk round Sale water park. Extremely dog friendly.”

“Delicious coffee & treats and quiet canal-side seating. A social enterprise supporting good causes. Attached to The People's History Museum, which is by donation. Highly recommended.”

“Great local pub. Good atmosphere. Friendly customers. Great Landlord, very friendly and welcoming. Amazing girls behind the bar, always happy to serve you.”

“Lovely, laid back and unpretentious pub with plenty of stripped wood and some wonderfully tasty ales. Great to see the patronage of local micro breweries and the noticeboard full of Polaroids celebrating all their doggy patrons tells you all you need to know about the overall vibe here.”

“We hosted my partner's 30th here over the weekend and I cannot say a big enough thank you to the Tap! From start to finish, everyone was incredible. Paul was super helpful and responsive and the bar staff were amazing. We all had a great time, thanks so much!”

“Was in the lord nelson yesterday what a great little pub fantastic atmosphere lovely friendly people the landlady was so friendly could not do enough for us it was are first time as a family going in we will definitely be returning what a little gem of a pub also very cheap beer prises”

“Not able to judge the food (they dont sell any) or the atmosphere (as no one else was in) but the bar itself is wonderful. Only small, with an indoor upstairs seating area & a small section out front with tables & chairs (only good for dry days) Theres also a beer garden to the rear apparently (never tried it)? Although limited for bar space the beer selection is good. More often than not there are 3 locally brewed ales on cask & 8 beers on keg, which usually includes a dark one. Altrincham born & bred Iv'e been coming here since it opened in the early 2000s and despite both it sister bars closing (Chorlton & Liverpool) luckily this bar continues to trade. I wish there was a greater choice, but should you be unable to find something unsuitable on cask/keg, they also have a well stocked fridge with numerous craft ales so im confident you'll find something suitable. Not the cheapest of bars, but far from the most expensive. OK, its getting a little tired around the edges now & the downstairs disabled toilets could do with a bit of a face lift, but all that said I still highly recommend this place.”

“Tuesday 9th December 2025 This fantastic unspoilt Manchester pub is absolutely gem of the past 2 small rooms which between them can't fit 18 people in it The bar is a minute affair and does not have till the standing room is less than 10 The staff person behind the was friendly helpfull and superb. I would say to all pub goers im Manchester give this unique pub a go”

“Fabulous company to deal with. Really helpful and their staff are very professional but also so accommodating. They go out of their way to help. Highly recommend buying from them.”

“Best place in the village hands down. Nice folk and no loons”

“Nadia was absolutely brilliant, great vibe, brill service and a great bottomless afternoon tea. Can’t wait to come back ❤️”
