Weekend brunch in Manchester

“The best fish ’n’ chips in the area. PERIOD. Anybody saying the Kingfisher on Parrin Lane is better — and the other comments — listen up. Yes, they are super friendly at the Kingfisher. They also close at 8:30, not the 9 p.m. this one does. And you can’t complain that this no longer takes card payments because neither does the Kingfisher, but this at least allows bank transfer — so basically it takes card payments. Also, saying it’s expensive? Last night I got a LARGE FISH & CHIPS with a pot of GRAVY and a pot of MUSHY-PEAS (both of which are far superior to Kingfisher’s) for £11.20. I think that’s very fair. I’m posting the pics here so you can see how amazing they are — and that’s after going to Lidl and walking 10 minutes home. Hot, delicious, and not greasy. 10/10. Give them a try at least once so you KNOW for yourself. :)”

“Really love this restaurant! The food is always delicious and full of flavor. The service is excellent, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I’ve ordered takeout before and the delivery was super fast, and dining in was just as great — cozy atmosphere and attentive service. Definitely a place I’d recommend to friends!”

“Was sceptical ordering due to look of the premises.. But as usual it's always the small places are the best.. Great menu Extremely tasty Huge portions Piping hot for a delivery You won't go wrong with this place.. I'm sorry I haven't ordered from here years ago”

“I was recommended by one of my friend to try tokies burger ,finally I have tried it ,it was so big and mouthwatering, (delicious ) .neat and clean place nice packaging.”

“Great food at good prices. Only disappointment they had no black pudding left for breakfast. Partner had tuna mayo jacket spud. It was huge.”

“Clockwork Cafe is a lovely cafe on the end of the high street (just up from Sainsbury's) in New Mills. The food, service and atmosphere are all great. It's like the hearty, honest food your mum or grandma would make you and it's done with care and at price that doesn't break the bank (which is happening at a lot of places since the cost of living crisis). I would thoroughly recommend the Cafe to my friends and family and know that they won't be disappointed. I'll be back to try the cakes and scones soon!”

“A very cozy place indeed especially when there’s a little drizzle outside. The ambiance was so quiet and comfortable that you can get a lot of work done in peaceful environment. There are chairs, sofa seats and counters to choose from according to your taste. Outdoor seating is however best for a bit chilly weather. About coffee, I found it pretty bland to be honest. It just tasted like coffee dissolved in water with a pinch of milk. Still better than Starbucks but needed a cookie to get some taste. The staff is really friendly and helpful with ingredients and taste.”

“Called in and had some food, portions and huge and absolutely beautiful. Steak was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend”

“Took my Rotweiler a few times, it's nice to go in a pub with a big dog and people don't look down on him. The staff give him treats and come and stroke him, always a filled water bowl. Great food & they do dog Sunday dinners which go down a treat for £2.50 & a lovely normal roast dinner too. The food menu has a lot of variety. Brilliant view of the canal from the carpark. We love it here”

“Great people great pub great pint”

“Great pub. We was here as an away fan before a football match and very welcoming and friendly.”

“Just back to scotland after great visit to Bradford inn Manchester,can't thank the landlady and her staff enough for there hospitality,was about 40 of us there for full day and they couldn't have been better with us,toilets where clean,great choice of beers which where great and staff where amazing...thank you again from all of us,we will be back”

“Beautiful pub with friendly welcoming staff. Dawg friendly”

“Went in over Christmas to meet friends for a few beers, relaxed atmosphere with great pool table, barmaid was friendly. Would go a again for a pint or two.”

“This is a great place for real ale. Staff are most friendly. Also good for watching sport on the telly.”

“Always have a laugh in here with the family serving. Convenient with good stock and decent prices for a local store. Usually just buy my milk and the odd chocolate fix but essentials there too and open when they say they will be. Would love it if they started doing more services like evri and yodel but have recently got an inpost outside so that’s a start :)”

“We can’t seem to stop coming back! The portion sizes are generous, the food is consistently delicious (the salt and pepper chips are 100% worth the extra), and the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. Carl always greets us with a big smile and makes us feel right at home. Highly recommend, and already looking forward to our next visit!”

“Read the review and got so confused as I have a lovely experience at the restaurant. The staff was friendly and switched on. The food was lovely. Pizza has nice crust on them and the duck was tasty”

“Great lil place, got exactly what I asked for (shock horror right). Wasn't waitin too long and food tasted great...”

“Myself and friends had a marvellous few hours in the beer garden yesterday ~ the food was delicious and the beer was great. Would also like to mention how lovely the staff are, particularly lovely George”

“Great experience! If you are looking for fresh food, amazing burgers and sizzlers, this is the place! Make sure you try the peri burger and peri chicken with rice , really succulent and delicious. Definitely coming back here again”

“Mum and I had the large curry goat, jerk chicken meal, fry dumpling & vegetable pattie with steamed vegetables. Food was top quality & service was quick and great”

“We really enjoy the food from here, they have always been pleasant when phoning up too”

“Had afternoon tea. Was lovely...Nice sandwiches and cakes....plenty of tea and coffee. Pleasant staff.”

“I recently ate here for a family dinner. Lovely place and plenty of parking. Was welcomed by Lou, who walked us to our table and explained where to order. The kitchen manager Mitch gave us recommendations (which I tried). I would definitely come back again, the staff were brilliant, the food was great and the pub/restaurant were lovely”

“Food; Delicious and big portions, I tried so far the Mediterranean box and the aubergine stew. The service; they are lovely. Congrats guys!”

“Food was fantastic, great friendly service, will go back, sorry no pictures as I was too hungry.”

“A recent addition to the 2025 Good Beer Guide. Not the greatest of choices of cask ale but what I had was on fine form.”

“Attended a reggae night. The pub looks good. Nice & clean. Bar staff attentive. Didn't have food.”
