Vegetable gardens in Manchester

“We absolutely adore Siân's SEN Holiday Forest School Sessions. We joined in the summer of 2023 and quickly fell in love with the holiday sessions. It can be quite challenging when our usual group activities come to a halt, as our entire family thrives on structure and routine. Our daughter has an immense passion for the outdoors and revels in any messy or sensory play. If it were up to her, she'd make the great outdoors her permanent home! Right from day one, Sian extended a warm welcome and dedicated time to truly understand how our daughter prefers to engage. She has patiently built a strong connection with our daughter at her own pace. The activities provided are nothing short of amazing, especially for our daughter, who immerses herself fully in sensory experiences (as you can see in the photos!). Furthermore, the lunch and snacks offered here are fantastic. Our daughter can be quite particular about her safe and unsafe foods, but every visit here has her enjoying the delicious lunch provided. We sincerely appreciate the tremendous effort you put into creating safe and nurturing environments for children with special educational needs. ❤️”

“Excellent Food & Service. The food was excellent! The menu is very good and caters for everyone. Highly recommend the cheese and onion pie and the BBQ beef brisket sandwich. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. Excellent service!”

“Ah, Cheerful Garden. A name that conjures up memories of my OG Fiat Punto, Friday nights, and the purest form of salt and pepper chicken imaginable. My cousin and I, two seasoned veterans of Friday night feasts, embarked on a pilgrimage back to the hallowed halls of this culinary institution after nearly two decades - both having moved away. The anticipation was palpable. Would the magic still be there? Had the years dimmed the flavor, dulled the spice? We nervously approached the dimly lit sign, our hearts pounding like teenage drummers. The aroma hit us like a tidal wave, a symphony of sesame oil, garlic, and pure, unadulterated deliciousness. Nostalgia washed over us, stronger than a particularly potent Satay sauce. But alas! Tragedy struck. After rattling off our order with the fervor of a seasoned auctioneer, I was met with a chilling realization. The sight of a grown man totting up on a casio calculator can only mean one thing... cash only. My heart sank. Years of climbing the corporate ladder, of meticulous budgeting, of carefully navigating the treacherous waters of modern finance, had all led to this – a cash-only Chinese takeaway. Despair threatened to consume us. Luckily, my cousin, a man of resources (and apparently, a card-carrying member of the American banking system), had plastic. But the ordeal was far from over. Finding a cash machine in Lees, a town that seemed to exist outside the realm of modern convenience, proved to be a Herculean task. We circled the "Co-op" (now an Aldi, a cruel twist of fate), only to find ourselves cash-less and craving. Just as hope began to dwindle, a beacon of light – a cash machine shimmering beside the legendary "Legends" – appeared. And whilst it accepted his Bank of America card, it was clear that the Chinese gods smiled upon us. And then, the feast. Salt and pepper chicken that could convert even the most ardent vegetarian, chow mein that danced on the tongue, black pepper chicken that set our souls on fire. The Singapore vermicelli, oh the vermicelli! And the soup, a fiery elixir that warmed our souls and banished all memory of our cash-related woes. Now, let's be real, reheating takeout is an art form. But even after a journey longer than most cross-country road trips and a brief stint in the air fryer, the Cheerful Garden experience remained unparalleled. It was an 11 out of 10 performance, an oriental masterpiece that could only have been orchestrated by the culinary gods themselves. If I didn't know any better, I'd say they must have droned it in from Beijing. Now, another 20 years may pass before I have a legitimate reason to return to Oldham. But when I do, you can bet your sweet and sour pork that Cheerful Garden will be my last stop.”

“Very nice chicken curry. I give 5 stars for a lot of pieces of chicken. That meal is worth 6.50.”

“We order from here often and it’s spot on every time. I’ve tried so many chinese takeaways and this is one of the best I’ve had. We get the salt & pepper munchie box and everything in there is delicious. Most chinese takeaways have no flavour and you can barely taste the salt and pepper but this one is so tasty, it’s quite spicy and full of flavour. The salt & pepper chips are unreal. The meat is really nice and soft and not dry like some places. Always deliver on time and really friendly. 10/10”

“Been going here for years they 100% make the best hot and sour soup! There other dishes are good never had a bad meal ❤”

“First time ordering, by far the best Chinese I’ve had in a while!!”

“First time I have been here. The staff are very friendly the place is great my dog loved it and made new friends. Overall great time and experience definitely come again”

“We stayed in the B&B for one night. Fabulous place and views. Really comfortable, quiet and clean room. The breakfast was delicious and our host Alice was very friendly. We will definitely be back.”

“I had to write this review straight away, as it was such a pleasure to visit a pub where we were met so warmly, the cask beer range produced in house is excellent ( Tried two & both very drinkable & very reasonably priced ) It was just a shame I had a train to catch otherwise I would have stayed! I will definitely be back & can only recommend! (Trains roughly every half hour from Manchester lovely small beer garden which is a sun trap!”

“What a hidden gem of a place, a great free activity in Salford. Beautiful old Tudor building. Friendly staff and interesting exhibits and events put on here.”

“​If you haven't been in a while, it's time to head back. It's truly a must-visit spot for any fan of authentic American BBQ in the Greater Manchester area. Big improvement in food quality. We will return. The music is brilliant too.”

“Really good pub at the end of the runway. And very near the railway (hence the name) Came on an early Sunday afternoon for a quick pint. Very good service - food looked and smelt great, but we didn’t stay that long. Probably will be back one day soon though! Very big beer garden out the back. Caters well for kids (if that’s your thing) so can be for better or worse. Building inside is very low beams and ducking if your about 6ft and above! But really nice.”

“Unbelievable work goes into this place. The plants and fish. Cactus and flowers are amazing.”

“Fishing is absolutely brilliant here.”

“Lovely bouquet for my wife for our 40th wedding anniversary. Thank-you x”

“My little boy attends Playdays and we are very happy with the care that he receives. This is a fantastic nursery with excellent facilities. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They are focussed on his development and they look at children individually. I would recommend this nursery to family and friends”

“It's a nice park with a large play area, farm to walk around and plenty of space to play. Ice cream van always seems to be there at the weekend and the cafe is ok albeit a little slow when very busy. Parking can get busy at peak times”
