Absolutely Awful.
Having heard good things about this place we decided to go for some dinner on the way into town for a night out.
Really strange menu comprising student favourites alongside more sophisticated dishes costing considerably more that much better alternatives in the city centre.
In the end we opted for Chilli Nachos x2. At £7 a throw we expected great things but what we actually got was a luke warm bowl of second rate chilli with a pile of cheap, overly salty, broken tortilla chips (probably from Netto or similar). They need to have a look at what you get in establshments such as Kro or Chiquitos for less money.
While these things can happen it says something about the quality of the kitchen staff that something prepared with so little care and attention even made it out of the door.
Its also worth mentioning that the table next door sent theirs back because it was cold.
Service was also appalling!
Avoid like the plague.

I have to recommend the full breakfast in here, it is delicious! For me it is the quality of the sausage which completes this traditional English dish, and this place really got it spot on. Saints and Scholars is a great place to go on a Sunday, relaxing ambience combined with a very deep European, reassuring vibe. Music was good, the staff very professional as well as beautiful. It's a true reflection of what Didsbury stands for, and is the perfect place to have a relaxing afternoon.

My girlfriend took me here for our first meal out together. We were both made to feel very relaxed and the wine waiter was very charming.
Saints & Scholars
interesting and inventive specials board, with the jamaican fish stew being paticularly delicious, but with food of this quality (and price - youre talking city centre, not suburbia here) a suitably adventurous wine list is required (someone who knows how to make a G + T wouldnt go amiss either)

Fancy a full fry up with a bottle of Chablis on a Sunday morning? You can at Saints & Scholars. A group of us rolled up at lunchtime on a Sunday birthday hangovers intact, ordered a full english with Chablis & Beaujolais for the red wine drinkers and stayed for the afternoon. The staff were friendly and joined in with the birthday celebrations. The fry-up was the best this side of Manchester.
