The 30 Best Unique dining atmospheres 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.”

“Had a fantastic time at this restaurant. The food was delicious, and the vibe was super comfortable. Our server, Grace, was amazing, friendly, helpful, and on top of everything. She made the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend checking this place out!”

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

“I don't go very often to Hoopers, I was meeting a friend and we decided to go for lunch. I had a chicken wrap which I was told was new on the menu. It was delicious, would definitely recommend. The staff was very friendly and helpful”

“Unbelievable food made to order. So tasty and fresh. I have been twice now and both times have been spot on, service consistently great. My only negative is the location of the customer toilet being through the kitchen, but that’s not enough to put me off due to everything else being fab.”

“My partner booked Ela for a surprise date night! It was ‘nice’ .. I asked for olives while ordering my drink and was told no? Thought this was odd! But Nevermind! Order was olives, Saganaki (just tasted like very burned cheese) a trio of dips with hummus, a cheese pastry thing (can’t remember the name) mixed grill, Kleftiko - Wasn’t the best? Watery and flavourless (I had had it elsewhere and thought the same so maybe it just isn’t for me?) not sure I would recommend or go back! But I do know other people who really like it!”

“I'd highly recommend eating at the Clink, the food was great and it was for a good cause. We would visit again if we're in the area. Perfect if you're visiting Quarry Bank. We had a lovely Sunday dinner here, with the lovely veg and roasties. The charred mackeral starter was marvellous, as was the panna cotta. The staff were pleasant, with great service and reasonable prices. Good toilet facilties, including disabled loo. Access ramp in place for wheeled entry, terrain mostly flat with parking located near the entrance”

“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.”

“Just had the (not fake meat) vegan burger and salt pepper chips, I was very impressed. Top marks!”

“We had vegetarian food and it was lovely. The foul with hummus was really delicious and everything else was lovely too. Friendly staff. Clean place. Decent price. Would definitely repeat”

“Nice taste, very good potion size. If you havent got big appetite n ordering a box, you wont be able to finish. All Halal option. Nice in house drinks choice. Loved Philli cheese steak sandwich. No toilet facility. Limited seating space. Supporting staff. Would definitely go there again.”

“Excellent food and great atmosphere. The poppadom sauces are some of the best I have had. We had Chicken Momocha for a starter (shared) which says it's a 20 mins wait. It is worth it. They are these beautiful curried dumplings which is such an interesting combination. For mains we both picked off the specials menu and were not disappointed. Overall good value for money, excellent ambiance, and helpful wait stuff”

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

“Had the halloumi pesto sandwich and it was amazing! The American is nice too. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was great. Will definitely be coming back.”

“Absolutely amazing. The hospitality was unreal. The food was the most traditional Turkish food I've tasted in the UK. Very fairly priced. I have nothing but praise for this place.”

“Fuel never disappoints me in the 5 years I've been in and out, every time I'm back in Manchester I absolutely have to visit. some food items are absolutely delicious and other merely very good (the pakoras and chips are delightful) haha the staff is always lovely and the atmosphere never fails to feel inclusive and homey. great gigs too!!”

“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.”

“Great locals bar that is justly proud of its real ale championed by the manager. Well worth a visit. Full range of Hydes beers. Paulicarus on his first visit. A few too many TV's for me.”

“Spent an overnight, room small but clean, bar staff nice.”

“Loved every dish we ordered from here and the cocktails are delicious. Highly recommend their fried chicken and birria”

“Had a few orders from here now. Always beautifully prepared, stone fire cooked pizzas and they have a twist on the dough balls to what looks like a square pizza and then you take a closer look and its Nutella and biscoff wrapped in dough and cooked throughout. Absolutely gorgeous. Such lovely staff.”

“Excellent gluten free range! Wished we had something like this in the midlands. 5/5 food taste. Recommend the Singapore vermicelli noodles. Large portion sizes too so that’s breakfast sorted”

“Amazing street food! Must tries chicken kothu, chilli paneer, chicken noodles, momo’s and pav bhaji Delicious chaat, generous portions, and really friendly staff. Great value for money – a must-visit in Rusholme.”

“It is a very cosy place, with delicious food and very friendly staff. I would highly recommend to visit them if you are a Thai food lover.”

“Love this place, it truly is a hidden gem in Wilmslow. My sanctuary to go and work in peace, staff are amazing from Becky leading the way with her big smile it really feels like home. Food as you can see is always yummy and allows me to be at peace whilst working or even if friends want to pop in to have lunch it's the best treat for loved ones!”

“Brilliant pub, with a fantastic landlord, Tommy Grogan. The oldest pub landlord in the UK. Fantastic mural by local charity, Withington Walls, on side of the pub too.”

“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.”

“Absolutely amazing, great food, staff really good and atmosphere amazing. Clean and friendly, really recommend and all freshly prepared.”
