Reviews in Manchester

I do believe this has been taken over by the same people who have the Shoulder of mutton in holcombe village. The chef and his business partner own both. Both are great pubs to Dine in. Food fab.. Keep it up

Lovely meal last week! Cocktails were fantastic. A thoroughly enjoyable evening! Highly recommended.

Myself and my wife visited the Whiteroom on Saturday evening. Fantastic decor, great ambience coupled with splendid food. Service was exceptional. Had an amazing night, the bar was very busy however service was quick. Finally Whitefield is firmly on the map and competing with the south side of Manchester, long may it continue!! Cant wait to go back !

Gotta to admit our Sunday afternoon tea at Zouk was superb,just right,with a lovely 'busyish' atmosphere. 28 quid for the two of us,pompas ,starters ,three mains ,rice and a naan (no bevvy,just water) and it was excellent.Just about, now with all things considered ,decor,ambiance,atmosphere,price,we rate as the best in Manchester,and we try them all. Highly recommended and that makes a change.

I went to San Carlo on Friday evening, with my wife and 2 very good friends. It was extremely busy, but service was still excellent, and the food was amazing. The Tiger Prawn starter, with gorgonzola, coffee and chilli, were stunning. I will definitely be back.

Have just visited this local restaurant for the first time and was not disappointed. The staff are extremely welcoming and the service we received was great. The meal we had was wonderful and we have already been again. This restaurant deserves all the praise and is up there with the best restaurants in Manchester. We could not fault it and glad we have found this little gem.

As always, another wonderful evening with a feeling of being in Italy for a few hours thanks to the waiter who served us again and recommended the best of the menu! I have travelled the world but never found such a wonderful and professional man who made me (and my fiends) feel so special! If you read this message and go to San Carlo, ask for Ciro!

I visited the white room yesterday- and I have got to say how pleased i am. This is just what Whitefield needed. The decor is modern and luxurious, the atmosphere is great and the people are very friendly. Overall i would recommend this to anyone living in the surrounding area, great day/night out for a drink or something to eat!!! Well done and thank you for putting Whitefield on the map.

Excellent chippy with friendly staff.

My husband and I went for lunch yesterday - one of numerous visits we've made over many years. As always, it was a real treat. The food was delicious (presentation is second to none) and the service attentive and efficient but not intrusive. Table settings are beautifully arranged with crisp linen and sparkling crockery/glassware. The building itself is very impressive as you ride up the sweeping driveway and doesn't disappoint when you enter the large, imposing building. My only negative comment (and it's only my personal opinion) would be that the atmosphere was more intimate in Nutter's old premises which were further up Edenfield Road but, with quality like this, it was inevitable that Andrew Nutter would have to move to bigger premises to keep up with demand. You're missing a wonderful, gastronomic experience if you don't venture to Nutter's Restaurant.

We have now been to Sanmini 4 times. Twice for the excellent Thali weekend lunch menu. Forget your impression of a "normal Indian" which will most likely be Bangladesh "cuisine". This is South Indian food and is sooo tasty. We have also tasted South Indian cuisine in London's 1* Michelin Quilon Restaurant and can honestly say that the taste and freshness of Mini's cooking is superior.

Just had a really good lunch at The Beacon at Dalton. It is a Pub downstairs and a restaurant upstairs. We have been a few times before and in both parts the food is superb. Before we looked at the menu, we asked if they did beef curry. They had chicken curry on the menu but they immediately said there was no problem at all in changing it so we both had beef curry. Afterwards I had pear poached in Campari garnished with a raspberry juice and clotted cream and my husband had Parkin Cake with Mrs Dowson's ice cream, both were very well presented, as was the curry which came with rice, poppadoms and mango chutney. The price was very reasonable and service was very good. 10/10

well what can we say went to a gourmet nite, the chef is only a youngster but the food was fantastic, the best meal we have ever had. we eat out quite alot and the food and service was the best yet. my husband and me both choose different from the menu and both were delighted. even the pub grub is excellent worth trying mrs appleton

Bad and Good! Just returned from dinner on a Wednesday night. Downside - booked a table for 8pm. Arrived at 7.50pm. At 8.50pm, I explained to the waitress that we had been waiting nearly an hour and at 9pm, we were leaving. Frankly, she couldn't care less. Showed us to our table at 8.55pm. Waiter did not smile once. Looked stressed out. Paid the 10% tip that was already on our bill as too polite to say no. Quite expensive for ok to good food. Upside - nice atmosphere in this very busy restaurant. Food arrrives very quickly. It was ok to good but not amazing. My summary is they over book so they are always busy. I told the waitress if there is always an hours wait for a table, I might as well book for 8pm and turn up for 9am. But no, if that happened, my table would be gone. Clearly, loaded in their favour. "Slightly an element of the kings new clothes!" The owners are besotted with celebrities, ie pictures of footballers everywhere. I'm not bitter but I am sure Ronaldo did not wait an hour for his pre booked table!

i have been eating curries for ten years now and I'm totally addicted to them , in all this time the nicest curry i have had is the taste of shundarbarn

Having grown up in Prestwich I have spent many years envying the social amenities immediately available to Didsbury-ites on the other side of Manchester. I am delighted to say that we have finally been blessed with a venue that would compete if it were located on Wilmslow Road. Having been recommended The White Room by a friend I turned up on a Thursday night for a quick drink. I was pleasantly surprised by both the decor and the general ambience. The sporadic mix of comfy couches and bar stools, the fluttering of dinners and drinkers throughout the bar, the candle lighting and spacious seating area outside all add to the general charm. Although the wine list could be more extensive the bar is well stocked. I was also impressed with the appeal of The White Room with dinners and drinkers ranging from early 20s to late 50s all of whom appeared in good spirits and comfortable with their surrounds. An eclectic design and mix seemed to suit the bar very well. So impressed was I with the experience that I returned for a Sunday lunch. Nursing a rather heavy hangover I decided to go for the steak, ale and mushroom pie with chunky chip which proved to be absolutely delicious. Excellent comfort food and a generous portion. The menu itself was reasonable and offered a broad range for culinary preferences and a sizable childrens menu. The staff were helpful and curtious. I also noted that the dinners ranged from families to young couples. Overall I have been exceptionally impressed with The White Room and would recommend anyone reading this article, tired of the usual pubs (or pub - The Parkfield) north of Tescos, to give it a try.

went here on Sunday and it was excellent. recommend booking as they were turning people away before 7 who had not made reservations as they were busy. food delicious and good value, childrens menu fine, service friendly and unobtrusive but there when you needed it, worth the trip the young chef has got it spot on and the busy pub showed that. Will be back soon.
