Reviews in Manchester

Lovely food but service was a little slow and very expensive.

The hosts of the Fat Loaf are always friendly and welcoming. They remember our names which is lovely and stop for a chat. The food is consistently delicious and perfectly cooked. We always enjoy going there and never disappointed.

A dissapointing 1st visit to this venue under its current ownership. Ordered a mixture of Indian and pub classic meals (4 in total) and to be fair the starters poppadoms and chutneys together with the 2 different curry meals were okay and acceptable. Regarding the other 2 meals one was brought wrong as ordered a chicken burger from pub classics and a normal burger was supplied, this was questioned with the waitress which she disputed,and she proceeded to go away for the 2 curries we had ordered and on returning with them asked "well what have you decided about the burger" I responded with there is nothing to decide as you have brought the wrong meal and I know what I ordered, she then took the burger away with no comment.the other meal was fish and chips again from the pub classics and the fish looked like a "burnt offering" with the batter being black and obviously overdone, my wife did attempt to eat this but gave up as not enjoyable. Quite some time later when our other 3 meals were finished another lady brought the chicken burger and apologised for the error and asked if everything else was okay and I said well as you have asked the fish and chips was not very good and looked like a burnt offering to which to my shock responded well the Indian food is our speciality the the other food us " what it is" to which I was gob smacked. There was no offer of any sort of refund and at a total cost of £80 spent I can without doubt say yes this was a very dissapointing experience but based on other favourable reviews I have read maybe we were just a bit unlucky on our visit

Had a fab birthday meal with my family. Food was amazing, great service and good value for money. We’ll definitely go back!

I have visited crowded house numerous times and always recommend their food and service. I have not attended for over 12 months but came on Friday with a few girlfriends. The overall visit was lovely as usual but wasn’t very happy with the new menu and wasn’t value for money I really like coming to crowded house the hospitality is tremendous but prefer old menu

Had a lovely time food great and staff. Will be going back soon
