Vintage inspired in Manchester

“Plaza sells fabulous quality jewellery. I have purchased a number of items over the past few years and I am always pleased with the service received from Charlotte and Chris. They both have a keen eye for finding interesting pieces in excellent condition. I saw my recent purchase on their website, a pendant, it looked so lovely in the photographs, which are always clear with multiple shots of the item. When visiting their stand in Harrogate, I was pleased with the quality and the colour of the central stone. I have purchased from their website and the item arrived beautifully packaged and fully insured. I will always recommend Plaza to family and friends.”

“Had makeovers here twice now, fab place, amazing service, everyone's very friendly, the parlour looks fab and you always leave feeling and looking like a movie star”

“Dishoom Spinningfields is one of my favourite restaurants in Manchester. When it first opened back in 2018, it was Dishoom’s first restaurant in Northern England, and since then they’ve set a remarkable standard of both food and service quality and certainly left me coming back for more. The interior is super impressive, cool and unique. Dishoom is based on the old Irani cafés in Bombay, and the interior is so large and feels like no other restaurant in the city. My go-to dishes are the Chicken Ruby with Basmati Rice and occasionally the Gunpowder Potatoes. The portion sizes are generous, and the rich spices of the curry are super good — it’s obvious they use great quality ingredients and seasonings. For drinks, again the selection is vast, with my favourites being the regular Chai and the Mango Lassi, which are both really good. There is always a staff member walking around topping up tap water, so you’ll never go thirsty. The pricing is a little high, but I feel it is worth it for the quality. Matka Holders can also roll a dice at the end of their meal to potentially earn everything for free, food and alcohol included, during certain times. This makes it all fun, being able to put the meal on the roll of a dice. Due to having an allergy, I can scan a QR code on the menu for the latest information, and all the staff members are well trained in dealing with allergies. They’re aware of coeliac disease and the danger of cross-contamination, and always keep my items separate from my friends’ when I dine in a group. Overall, this is one of the places to be in Manchester if you’re looking for good food with fantastic allergy awareness, overall ambience/vibes, food and service quality. It’s a place that you can go for a special occasion or even a quick lunch (although a lunch menu / meal-deal offer would make it even more enticing for sure!).”

“Really lovely tearooms with a warm welcome & service with a smile. Highly recommended! Our dog Lola loved her sausage treat too!”

“Absolutely thrilled with my corner cabinet. Deb was fantastic and answered queries quickly and re-painted the interior to match my room at minimum expense. Delivery was free and very efficient. Thoroughly recommend and now have a beautiful individual piece of furniture”

“A beautiful brunch with my 6 year old and her friend. Such a family friendly place that does quality food for children. Staff were great and so efficient. Loved the place and will definitely return.”

“I would highly recommend Cheshire Vintage Furniture. The two items were as described and were brilliant quality and pricing. Chris was lovely and answered any questions. Thank you Cheshire Vintage Furniture, see you in the near future for more purchases.”

“Fabulous shop, unbelievable choice. Called in this afternoon for a lovely pair of earrings. Lovely lady serving. This shop is definitely one not to be missed. Looking forward to going back.”

“Great shop! Some really nice 90’s sportswear pieces in here. Fair prices and a friendly shop owner. If you’re looking to cop some vintage Nike, carhartt, Levi’s etc this is the spot! Will 100% return.”

“From an experienced eye for vintage, antique, or retro, The VintageFurnitureCo has it all. The prices are set to sell. Anything your in the market for, you will be successful, or they will keep you in mind. I have purchased many items in the past, and frankly, they were perfect for me. I can say, I spent many hours there, until my relocation to the States. And I still miss it.”

“Very nice n fab clothes go see great cause too. Cake was fab too x”

“We love our new sofa and chair, they are both absolutely beautiful. The staff at the Knutsford store are amazing, special thanks though to Kirsty who went above and beyond to help us find the colour we were looking for, it has turned out to be perfect !!”

“I initially came across Lily Arkwright online while searching for a wedding ring for my wife. After seeing a ring I liked, I booked an appointment at the Manchester branch. I had a 15-20 minute meeting with Klaudia who was incredibly helpful in providing information on the different types of diamond rings available and I placed my order. The timescales were a little tight before the wedding and still the ring arrived with plenty of time to spare and I was constantly updated on the progress of the order. The ring was exactly as expected and my wife loved it. We revisited the branch after the wedding for a small size adjustment free of charge and also decided to have the ring engraved. Again, the service was seamless and the ring was delivered again, much earlier than the estimated arrival date. If anyone is considering a ring for a special occasion, I cannot recommend Lily Arkwright enough. Seamless from start to finish and incredible customer service - a flawless experience.”

“This is the second time I’ve taken jewellery to Diadem for repair. Customer service is excellent, with work completed quickly and for a fair price. I’m particularly happy with today’s repair, which was done on the spot so I can wear my favourite earrings for Christmas.”
