We will definitely be returning highly recommended!!”

“Ordered two funeral arrangements, both were absolutely beautiful. The quality of flowers and their arrangement were exceptional. Very easy to use website and delivered the day before for a 10.00 service. Other family members used Faiths too and all were stunning. It was a pleasure and comfort to see so much attention and care go into making the arrangements. Thank you”

“I couldn't recommend Alison highly enough as the flowers for my wedding were absolutely perfect. Communication was excellent, we had several calls where Alison gave great advice and recommendations and she delivered my vision perfectly. I couldn't fault a thing!”

“Great barbers, very fair prices compared to others in the area”

“I went in for some earrings for a present and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. I found the perfect pair and the price was brilliant.”

“I’ve been getting flowers from The Flower Girl for years and I honestly can’t recommend enough! The flowers are always breathtaking and beautiful. The bouquets are unique and also they last for ages. I now only get my flowers here and wouldn’t go anywhere else. She is quick to reply and so helpful with any questions too”

“Absolutely over the moon with my latest bouquets. Every time I've bought flowers from Blooms, I have not been disappointed. They are beautiful, fresh and last. I made a specific request for roses recently and was not disappointed. Blooms went over and above to fulfil my order. Much appreciated. Thank you”

“Leanne who cut my hair was lovely and did a fantastic job. I wanted my hair saving to send to The Little Princess Trust and she was very accommodating putting it into hand bands and cutting it for me. The style she did looked great on me and the booking system was easy to use. Will definitely be going again.”

“I had a lovely experience at H. Samuel’s in Manchester. I was visiting with a friend and I’d been looking out for a new watch and I found one here that was a little different from what I was used to but Steven (with a V) was very friendly and helpful. I decided to purchase the watch and Steven kindly adjusted it twice by removing links to fit my wrist perfectly. I’m very happy with my new watch and the service I received !”

“Have known and dealt with Richard for many years. He's a brilliant man who goes out of his way to help his customers. A real gentleman”

“Ordered today at midday and they arrived later the same day. The recipient was very happy and the quality of the flowers looks to be of a high standard. Would use Venus again to send flowers.”

“The food was amazing. It was my first time trying Injera and I'd love to go again. Lots of vegetarian options too.”

“Robie did the floristry for our wedding in April 2023 and I would highly recommend him. He was really friendly and easy to deal with. He took time to understand what we wanted and delivered something incredible on the day - it was better than what we had imagined and several people commented how beautiful and breathtaking the flowers looked. Thank you so much!”

“Great spot for always having at least one gluten free beer on tap, usually a couple. I'm a big fan of when they've got locals like Brightside. Generally a good atmosphere whenever I come. Sometimes a lot busier than others, probably event related as it's very close to a number of live venues. That said, I can often find a seat in the second, quieter room pictured below. I would appreciate GF food options, but I understand this is exceptionally difficult considering they do pizzas. The music is almost never particularly loud, which means you can always converse. The only setback would be that some of the beers can be pricey, but this is absolutely to be expected given they are quality craft beers rather than mass products, and I say this is one of the few spots where it's worth it”

“Ever meandered through Chorlton Park and missed the Tibetan cafe? Well, I finally gave it a go and oh boy, what a joy! Snug by the playground, it's perfect for foodie families, picnic punters, and anyone on the prowl for friendly faces and hearty portions! Tried the sha sha chicken and the momos, both worthy contenders, but it was the cauliflower stir-fry with rice and veggies that stole my heart (and stomach). This humble veggie is transformed into a showstopper so delectable, it might just compel you to write poetry. So, gather the kiddos, nab a sunny spot and get ready for a taste of Tibet that'll have you planning your next visit before you've even left!”

“Really enjoyable Valentines meal here yesterday evening . Glass of champagne on the house on arrival, warm and romantic environment, tasty 3 course meal. Great mushroom starter, followed by sirloin steak and sticky toffee pudding,. Thank you Karen we had a lovely evening”

“Very, very good venue. The quayside theatre is very small and intimate, but holds a good crowd. We were there to see the "Ideal" stage show (which was absolutely brilliant) and it was a great trip. Two minor issues were that it was unclear when the doors would open, leaving quite a few people like us standing outside in rain and wind, which was not Ideal (see what I did there) Also the toilet roll dispensers are utterly dreadful, where you have to try and pull it out of a very tight opening and it invariably tears close to the holder. You know the ones I'm talking about... The rosé wine is delightful...”

“I always make a point to stop by a Classic Football Shirts shop when in the UK. They have a wide selection of clubs and country jerseys from across decades. This shop had a discount rack where I got a Lamine Yamal Spain Adidas jersey for only £60!! Add that the holidays were coming up so I also snagged a Portugal Christiano Ronaldo sweater for only £40 made for a great day overall… and the downstairs lounge with a cafe/bar with video games and Polaroids/cards on the wall is a must see for any real fan!”

“A vibrant community of local artists working with pewter, clay, wood, metal, textiles, and more. Their studios are spread across two floors in a lovely bright historical building. There's a cafe on the ground floor, too! Whether you're looking for a gift, a new piece of jewellery, a plant pot, or simply a greeting card, you can find it here - and support local artists and crafts people!”

“He is a very lovely person and this is the best flower shop in Bolton. You guys must come here FOR GREAT FRESH FLOWERS FROM THE BEST MAN”

“I couldn’t be happier to have chosen such excellent and precious jewellery to purchase the engagement ring to my lovely and beautiful fiancé. They made her the happiest woman on earth with such stunning and unique ring, full of character and elegance, but also they made my life much easier supporting and advising me with their friendliness and knowledge in the making of such important and stressful decision. They made our dream come true with this little stone and hopefully our future will shine as much as it does! Highly recommended to anyone looking for the perfect jewellery for their loved ones or why not themselves.”

“Me and my husband would recommend to anyone, in fact i do quite often as I get so many compliments on my jewellery. Most amazing jewellery and treasured memories captured in the most loving way. Mike is kind, caring, patient and so helpful I can not thank him enough for all of the extraordinary pieces he made for me and all in time for Christmas too. Xxxx”

“Acacia flowers are my 'go to' florist. They have beautiful and exotic flowers which they make into gorgeous arrangements and I always get my Christmas wreath from them, even when I take it down it still looks as fresh as when I bought it. The girls are a delight to talk to and are so considerate when it comes to making my flowers. I use them all the time and would definitely recommend them.”

“Really nice food, great service too, got complimentary Meze and Turkish tea too with our order.”

“Had lunch here with my son and daughter , very cozy restaurant and faster serving ! the chicken was amazing and the kids really enjoyed the food ! Staff were very friendly and help me to sorted my gift card with infinite patience! hide gem by the road work”
