Tourist attraction in Manchester

“Ryan has been cutting my hair for 10 years. When he opened Smoke and Mirrors I moved with him which shows my support for a 5 star rating! Friendly, relaxed guy on top of a quality barber making it an enjoyable experience. Charlie is new, also top barber and nice guy.”

“Super friendly and great cuts! Made me feel comfortable getting my hair cut off and showed no judgement (female getting a mullet)”

“Visited today and what a fabulous suprise. So glad we found you. Wonderful atmosphere,delicious food, cakes and drinks. We will return. Highly recommended.”

“Used Blast Away a few times now for cleaning the roof of the house, cleaning the drive way and the paving in the back garden. Great guys, always do a fabulous job, definitely recommend.”

“I’ve been a huge Crystal Maze fan since I was a child and this place is very authentic and true to the original game. We were a party of 4 and everyone got to play at least 4 games while travelling around the 4 zones. My only critique is that I feel like there should be some sort of prize at the end or a scoreboard or something as it felt like a bit of an anticlimax. It is quite a treat to spend so much money on 90 minutes of entertainment, but truly, I would do it again. I loved it!”

“I’ve been coming to Jamie and the team at Two Two Eight for some time now and seen everyone there . The products they use are gentle for my scalp , I love the Davines product. Jamie and Beth are always friendly and salon always spotless . Chat is good too but enough time to relax and do some work whilst my colour is on always . I feel refreshed and love my hair every time . Highly recommend to all .”

“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.”

“We've been coming here as part of our programme MCR Social, asking Projekts to delivery inclusive sessions for the disabled and neurodivergent teens we work with - it has been absolutely amazing! Luke, the instructor, is a fantastic and very supportive coach! Very friendly and approachable, he really helps everyone feel welcomed and at ease, and expertly manages to work with the group who have quite a range of abilities - we've seen some really amazing development, with people clearly growing independence and confidence from the sessions. It's been a massive success and we're so thrilled, the whole group is so excited to visit every time! A big thanks to Luke and everyone at Projekts, as well as Alex and John who helped organise the sessions! We can't wait to come back :-)”

“Amazing. Every time I’m in Manchester I come here. Food is always flavourful, curries and sauces are to die for and I’ve never been dissatisfied. Bread is the perfect texture and has a fantastic fermented flavour :) Price is just right for what you’re getting and the portions are great! Highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t tried Ethiopian or to anyone who’s looking for it in Manchester. Very very good eat Make sure you have an Ethiopian beer and a cinnamon tea at the end, it is really worth it!”

“Stunning walk along canal and locks down towards Aqueduct and Viaduct. Some steep parts if you want to go under both. Nice and clean unmolested by rubbish.”

“Beautiful scenery, there were a little rocky/sandy beach too. Lovely day out. We walked about 5 miles. It has ups and downs, so the surface is not flat which we liked. There was a pay and display carpark but the security didn't let us in as it was full. We parked up the road. Free of charge. Went in beginning of August.”

“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.”

“Beet shop around. Had phone repaired to a high standard. Thank you”

“If you're looking for a delightful little coffee shop with a fantastic atmosphere, great food, and a wonderful atmosphere, look no further, The North Coffee Shop is owned by John who has many years of experience and makes mouth watering food, he is incredibly friendly and has created a wonderful warm and inviting atmosphere, there is something for everyone and all made with love by John himself. He runs Greek nights also and the dishes are fantastic, with loads of variety. I would highly recommend anyone to drop in and sample some of John's tasty treats, you won't be disappointed xx”

“A really great place for a walk especially with our dog. We tend to do the llama farm loop then back along the canal towpath towards Swizzles before heading towards the Rock Inn & down the path back to the riverside park. Other alternatives include keeping on the path past the llama farm to Cowgill farm then cross the road to the footpath under the railway line up to a bridleway which gives options to go to the road & down towards Hare and Hounds or carry on to Big Stone...(see photos)”

“Although the weather has been dry and the flow of water over the downfall was reduced, it was well worth the hike over from Edale. Not sure if there's an easier route from other points around Kinder but we were glad to have tracked across Kinder to see this phenomena. There was a good wind coming up the valley so the spray was visible from a reasonable way off, the view improving as you get closer.”

“Lovely Saturday morning breakfast - all four guests chose different options and really enjoy them. Very friendly staff. Already planning the next visit!”

“We visited last weekend with family and friends for a birthday meal and from the moment we walked through the door, we felt genuinely welcomed – and that was entirely thanks to our waitress Nicole( I believe that was her name). She greeted us with the kind of warm, natural smile that instantly makes you feel like you’ve chosen the right place for dinner. Nicole’s service was impeccable from start to finish. She struck the perfect balance of attentiveness without hovering, somehow anticipating what we needed before we even asked. Water glasses never dipped below half, orders were double-checked for accuracy. What impressed me most was Nicole’s genuine enthusiasm for the menu. She offered thoughtful recommendations based on our tastes and described each dish with detail – and she was spot-on every time. It’s clear she knows and loves the food here, and that passion is contagious. Beyond the technical side of service, Nicole made the evening memorable with her personable nature. She engaged with us in a way that felt friendly and sincere, not scripted. By the end of the night, we felt less like customers and more like welcomed guests. If you visit, you’re in for a treat no matter what you order – but if you’re lucky enough to have Nicole as your server, you’re guaranteed a truly exceptional dining experience. We’ll absolutely be coming back, and we’ll be asking for her by name.”

“The best Detroit style pizza I’ve had! Lots of halal options too!”

“We had breakfast today at Royal Restaurant they gave us a delightful experience with its great service. The menu features both traditional and contemporary cuisine making it a wonderful choice for ANY occasion. The flavours are well balanced and the presentation is visually appealing. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly ensuring that all guests feel welcomed and great taken care of. We ordered Aloo Tikki Sandwich OMG super hit trust me was delicious and we had omelette and paratha that was delicious too authentic plus crispy not oily at all... I We will definitely be coming back here again and would recommend this place to anybody.”

“Everything about this place is first class! Amazing delicious food, attention to detail Presentation of food, tables, staff is all excellent. Staff are amazing all smiley, happy and talk to you, which you don’t get very often! Special thanks to the lovely, good looking Sag on the service provided, we will definitely see you again!”

“I highly recommend this outstanding car hire company. Over the years, I have used their services multiple times and have been consistently impressed. Their cars are always impeccably clean, providing a pleasant driving experience. The drivers are professional and respectful, ensuring a comfortable journey. What sets this company apart is their unwavering reliability. They have never let me down, always delivering on-time transportation. Choosing them means receiving exceptional service that goes above and beyond. Trust them for a hassle-free and enjoyable travel experience.”

“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”

“We have ordered food from Great Indian kitchen quite a number of times and have always been a happy customer. We love their food so much that we opted for their catering service for our daughter’s baptism event. Everyone loved the food and it was a pure delight. We would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good Indian tea specially their chicken Hyderabadi and Samosa which are almost like Delhi style.”

“I booked my holiday through Isobel at the TUI Superstore and the whole experience was genuinely brilliant. I popped into the store a few weeks ago and she gave me a perfectly curated shortlist of options based on exactly what I was looking for. She really listened — and it showed. Every recommendation was spot-on, to the point it was actually hard to choose. After taking some time to think, I called back and Isobel helped me tailor our top choice and get it booked seamlessly over the phone. The entire process felt supported, simple, and surprisingly enjoyable. Having her expert knowledge on hand meant I finally felt confident in my decision… instead of disappearing into weeks (let’s be honest, months) of online scrolling and still booking nothing. Thank you, Isobel — you turned what could’ve been a faff into something effortless. I’ll absolutely be booking with you again.”

“I visited after many years and was so impressed! The place looks amazing, the food was delicious, and the service was top notch. Great upgrades definitely worth the visit!”

“Best ever !!! For true authentic Nepalese cuisine Everest cafe & its staff never disappoint. Very special place that we always look forward to visiting. 10/10”

“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!”

“Breakfast was excellent; both the full English and the salmon bagel were delicious. The customer service was very good, and the menu offers a fantastic variety of breakfast, lunch, and dessert options. The drink options are also good; I had a chai latte, which was perfect. Highly recommended, especially if you are heading to the airport as prices are reasonable too.”

“Had the full English breakfast as did hubbie - quality ingredients, non greasy, cooked to perfection. Daughter had steak baguette and sil salmon with scrambled eggs. All of the food was delicious, served hot and well presented. Service good and considering the quality / portion sizes good value.”
