203 The Lane in Stockport

Wow! Fancied something different- and we weren't disappointed. Lovely take out menu- halloumi taco bowl and sweet potato fries. Out of this world- fresh, tasty and generous portions. May have found a new favourite.

We have just finished our takeaway from 203 The Lane.The Mexican Box...so much food, all great tasting, lots of flavour, inspirational Burrito...such a huge portion, very delicious and moorishHallomi fries with dip. What a lovely change from potato friesGreat tasting food, so much more than your usual takeaway. And it was delivered hot! How often is takeaway food like warm? Not this takeaway! Great value too.

We've eaten here many times and since lockdown have had several takeaways. The quality of food and friendly service never changes, it's amazing. We highly recommend and look forward to being able to eat in when we can

Been here twice now and have booked to go back again in December and January...Covid tiers permitting! Both times that I've been, the lone female member of waiting staff has been run off her feet but managed to remain attentive, accomodating to special requests/slight tweaks of the menu and friendly, despite looking like she was meeting herself coming back! Only done breakfast so far, which has been perfect both times. I don't ordinarily like hash browns, so asked for no hash browns and had extra tomato. Big fail on my part...huge! The 2nd time I went the person I went with had the hash brown and I tried a bit...they are not your bog standard hash browns! I think they must be home made...if they aren't I NEED to know where they're from! They taste like potato cakes...proper home made potato cakes my mum used to make from left over mashed spud when I was a kid! I won't be requesting they be left off my plate next time! The portion sizes are more than ample, the coffee's lovely, (I asked what coffee beans they use and have bought some...and a coffee maker to go with them, it was THAT nice!) And the atmosphere, cleanliness and ambience of the place is spot on! What's not to like?The brunch and lunch menu look interesting...must try them at some point! Highly recommended...great little place!

Excellent and enjoyable food which makes up for the lack of an attentive service, perhaps due to a busy evening!

What wonderful food in this little independent restaurant we have been for burger night on Thursdays, taco Wednesday and Sunday roast. Can't be beaten for home cooked Tasty healthy food just gorgeous

Warm and friendly welcome. Service was impeccable. The food was to die for!! We had the breakfast, the portion was very generous and I was full until teatime, he he!! We'll be back 😀

We came here for a Sunday lunch. Amazing fresh produce cooked from scratch. Delicious light huge Yorkshire pudding and home made gravy, by far the tastiest Sunday roast I have ever had. Great choice of meet and veggie/vegan options. Friendly staff, we will definitely be going back .

Went for Sunday lunch - absolutely fantastic food! The best Sunday lunch I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot!) Proper home made gravy, giant Yorkshire puddings and beautiful freshly cooked veg (nothing frozen here!) great service and a lovely socially distanced atmosphere- will definitely be back again soon. Excellent value for money as well!

Took a friend here for a meal before she returned to Canada after visiting family. What a shame that although the food was lovely the overall experience fell far short of what I would expect. We were asked if we wanted coffee at 7.50 before we had finished our main course as they wanted to turn the machine off. We were then asked if there were any glasses we had finished with that could go in the dishwasher at the late hour of 8.30 and gave up at 8.45 and asked for the bill whilst the floors were being mopped around us. Given the current circumstances I would’ve thought most restaurants would be glad of the custom and and any future visits. Obviously not here. First visit and unlikely to return.

Moving into the Davenport area soon so wanted to try some of the local food offer. Visited here for breakfast today and we were really impressed; amazing cooked breakfast, great coffee and friendly staff. Hopefully the first of many visits!

Popped in for a quick breakfast, I had eggs benedict “bennies” and added smoked salmon and a large coffee. Everything was perfect. Very friendly server. Will def return.

Have to say just how lucky we are to have 203 the lane, during lockdown they kept us going with safe deliveries of wonderful food that became the highlight of the weekend and now they are open to dine in the experience feel just as safe. Tables are very well spaced out and the service and food are brilliant!! highly recommend to anyone wanting lovely food in a safe environment. PS my daughter cant live with out the fried chicken nacho's they are fab-u-lous

The food is amazing! I loved the salt and pepper chicken in particular and also the staff are lovely.

Saturday night gadxs takeaway cheeky Joe's burger lamb chop and ribs all cooked to perfection and good value for money

Had the afternoon tea for 4. Homemade superb open sandwiches of prawn , sliced ham , beef, cheese and chicken tikka . All served on home made bread . The scones with jam and cream were to die for . Then there were freshly made cakes and mini cheesecakes and mini lemon drizzle cakes . All superb and great value

203 The Lane is offering the most delicious takeaway!Why choose Indian or Chinese takeaway when you can have something deliciously different. Small plates, so different. Real homemade burgers, lots of toppings to choose from. All made fresh, cooked to order, good portion sizes, and unique. Very reasonable prices.Why would you cook at home when you can have this quality, very local. Pete and his staff should be acknowledged for serving great takeout food, in a time when we all need something to look forward to. We had a great birthday party...just the two of us...thanks mainly to the food we ordered from 203 The Lane.Please try it and support local businesses.

We went for dinner on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was half full. We were puzzled by the lack of prices on the drinks menu. The food choice was reasonable. Our sharing starters looked great and tasted fabulous. We had a good choice of mains and as there were four of us had one of most things. With one vegetarian there were two small plate choices, so a return trip would need the menu to change. Other choices were well received by the other three in the party. Most dishes were excellent. We would have liked to see some healthier, lighter choices. The only dampener on the evening was a number of staff sat with their coats on ready to go home at 9.45 and before we had been offered dessert or coffee. We had to request the coffee menu and dessert was not even offered. In the end we felt uncomfortable ordering coffee as staff clearly wanted to go home. A shame as the meal was generally good.

This is a great place for food. I’d been meaning to go in for some time for a breakfast and it was SO worthwhile. I had the Lane regular breakfast and it was spot on in terms of quality and quantity. Service is friendly and unobtrusive. Will definitely be going back to try an evening meal.

Very different with small meals but very enjoyable. Food was excellent and service was good. We will go back again.

Just got back from dinner here this evening. Don't be fooled into thinking you're dining in a cafe - in the evening this is a really good restaurant. The room, the tables, the welcome, the service, the food and the drinks are all really good and such good value. We eat in a lot of high end places that would love to be as good as this.We tried to come last year but it was closed for refurbishment - it was worth the wait. Don't expect a standard a la carte or table dote menu - this is unashamedly tapas style but the choice is excellent, the ingredients of the highest quality and the cooking perfect.If it's always like this, don't hesitate - get there soon, before everyone knows about it!

Excellent quality food, the sourdough bread and sausage patties we particularly loved. Lovely friendly chatty staff and a relaxing atmosphere. We will be back to try the small plates as recommended!

Excellent breakfasts , I had the big full English and it was too , the other meal was a lovely eggs benedict both with soda bread

Came here today with friends for the first time for breakfast and was not disappointed. Four of us went for the regular breakfast and the waitress was happy to accommodate a few changes to the standard breakfast while the teenagers had the pancakes. One of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time - good quality produce, especially the bacon & the sausage and everything cooked to order. We really enjoyed the food, service good despite it being busy and will definitely come back. Really great to have such a good breakfast so close to home. Thanks.

Lovely food and lovely staff, reasonable pricey. Went in for breakfast with a friend and no complaints.

After being recommended on several occasions to visit 203 the lane me and the hubby popped in with a couple of friends Saturday evening .....

Came here a few days ago for some food and drinks with some friends. Food was amazing and the staff were super friendly and provided excellent service to all of us, made us feel at home from the minute we walked in to the minute we walked out.

So disappointed. Food was below average quality & only tapas style meals available. We hated the cold white plasticy tables. Service was abysmal, we were ignored on entering even tho’ only 2 other tables occupied. Waitresses obviously never done it before were surly & unfriendly, we were left unattended to, never offered dessert menu or coffee. They need to up their game if they’re going to survive. Saturday night very few tables occupied. Being local I really want this restaurant to thrive but they really need to work much harder.

Came here a couple of weeks ago for lunch with a friend and will definitely come again. The small plates menue is interesting and varied, leaving me tempted to order the entire lot! In the end I settled for Rabbit Kiev, which was lovely and my friend enjoyed her Stuffed Peppers dish and noted there's a good selection for vegetarians (sorry, I didn't pay attention re. vegan choices). As a wheelchair user if you see steps don't worry, they have a lovely, portable, sturdy ramp for the outside steps, inside there is an accessible toilet and lots of space in the main bar / restaurant area. The staff are lovely and very helpful, giving excellent service, especially to my friend with her young child. This is a great addition to the Davenport area.

Fab food - rapid service - lovely atmosphere. I had a roast beef lunch with brilliant cauliflower cheese; my better half had roast lamb. As a starter we shared crispy avocado - superb!!.............no room for a dessert!! Can't praise the food high enough, especially since local competition has increased. We are definite regulars

Service was quick and efficient: there weren't many people there. We went there on a weekday at lunchtime. The three dishes the two of us shared (jerk halloumi, pork teriyaki and sea bass) were absolutely fantastic, the chips too, although the tomato-based sauce with the latter was not to my taste. Serving plates came hot but not really clean.

I went to 203 the lane 6th November 2019 and was looked after by a very friendly and helpful waitress Alicia.

Second visit to 203 the lane the first was breakfast there is a good choice responsibly priced, second visit was on a Sunday for lunch the Mac and cheese spring rolls were amazing as well as the bread and olive oil strayers there is a selection of different bread all reasonably priced 4 small plates with a starter and a bottle of wine for £44 will definitely be back

The relaunched 203 is a delight. Much upgraded tables, lighting, bar, service and the food is great. This restaurant is a keeper. keeper.

Once again 203 The Lane has exceed our expectations. Alicia who served our food was lovely and very helpful with our choices, nothing was too much trouble. We had a late business breakfast meet up and ordered the regular meals as we find the portion size is perfect for us, not over facing like some restaurants. Background music was great, a bit of Bowie which you don't often hear along with other sounds from the 80's.

I have been twice and i would fully recommend this Restaurant, it really is a little gem, fresh, hot food and a fantastic atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and cannot do enough for you. I would fully say you should try this place.

Went to 203 last night AGAIN! I'm becoming addicted to Pete's food. He'd got new items on the menu, two of which we tried, the venison and mushroom pudding, unctiously soft and full-flavoured filling in a suet pudding just thick enough to hold it's gorgeous innards. All served simply in peas and gravy. One to dream about.

We heard great things about the re-opening of this place. We had been previously before the revamp.

This was our second visit since 203 The Lane reopened. You can’t go just once, it is far too good! The restaurant has had a lovely refurb. Lighter, brighter and very welcoming. Smiley staff, very knowledgeable and professional. And the food....off the scale delicious. Offering small plates with a wide choice on the menu, we were so indecisive! This being our second visit, we knew what to expect, but the choice is so tempting, it does make it hard to choose. Freshly cooked, the food is professionally presented, and throughly enjoyed. We will definitely be back soon!

Having visited The Lane under the previous management felt it was time to revisit .

We had visited 203 The Lane a few times when it first opened and although the food was great there were a few issues with front-of-house stuff - the lighting was a bit bright, the seating and tables were at odd heights, they only too cash... Now it is under a new team and I'm glad to say they have addressed those issues while also gaining an alcohol licence. The food remains excellent - we enjoyed a fabulous Sunday roast (the three of us had different ones - lamb, pork and beef) with all the trimmings and very well made Yorkshire puddings, plus some very lovely deserts. A nice wine list - not an overwhelming choice but plenty to choose from - and all at a reasonable price - a little over £20 a head including wine for two of us. Good to have 203 The Lane back to its best.

We love to support local businesses but were so disappointed with our visit to the ‘new and improved’ bistro. The new owner asked us for feedback which was generally positive, when we mentioned one element we felt could be improved he walked off mid conversation without explanation... we were left feeling confused and a bit upset, unlikely to go back - what a shame as we eat out lots of times a week and this is on our doorstep.

Have been wanting to pop in here for ages and had opportunity to today. Lovely little place, well suited for Davenport, I had the bacon butty in sourdough. Absolutely gorgeous. Loads of crispy bacon and real butter. Will have to come back and try the rest of the menu soon.

nice polite service , food was good , surroundings nice , kind of suits Davenport atmosphere is nice and easy going

This place is down the road from my friend's house and it's awesome! Lovely selection for brunch, they didn't have the ham for the Eggs Benedict but gave me bacon instead, thoroughly delicious & very much looking forward to coming back here for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Reasonably priced too.

First visit since its reopening and pleased to report that Pete has not lost any of his magic in the kitchen. The small plates concept works particularly well, especially as I can never decide what to have. Huge shout out for the homemade bread, pork loin and the Mac and Cheese Spring Rolls!! I could go on but best that you head down to 203 yourself and enjoy the experience for yourself.

Brilliant twist on tapas. Great service. Fantastic food. Lovely ambiance. Well done. Well advised. Well presented a brilliant evening.

Excellent food, great portions and good service just what you need edit early morning breakfast. Set us up for the day nicely.

Really good food and nice service - not too busy on weekdays. Would recommend the aranchini balls and the king prawns

Called in today with my sister both had a sunday dinner with all the meats everything was fantastic and the staff really friendly and helpful will definitely be calling again, well done guys

Just had an amazing lunch in 203 Bistro. I had the cod cheek sandwich with smashed peas & tartar sauce and fries with skins on. The bread served was sour dough this had been freshly made this morning by the chef. It was all absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend the food. I will definitely be back very soon.

We visited 203 yesterday evening upon entering the restaurant it was nicely decorated and had a nice ambience feeling, the lighting is also perfect. we were greeted by a lovely lady who showed us to our table and asked us would we likes drinks and gave us the menu. we had several dishes on the menu as described as small plates so many to choose from . the food we had was cooked to perfection, not had meals as tasty as these for a long time.and served on warmed plates too. we didn't really have room for a pudding. but we succumbed and had one each ohh my god they were gorgeous. we will be definately be going back regularly. well done to the chef and all his staff and a big thank you we really enjoyed everything.

203 The Lane has only been open again for a few days and I have already been twice.

Popped into for brunch wasn’t disappointed the food came quickly and enjoyed all the small plates we had and loved the chips!

We dined there last night (Friday). The decor has changed since it was previously open and improved. They've sorted out the high banquettes and the wobbly tables. The staff are eager to please and very pleasant and efficient. Now to the good stuff! The menu has changed considerably since last time and is about twice the size but now it's classed as 'small plates'. The two of us had three mains and a side dish between us and Pete's (the Chef) definition of 'small' is arguable to say the least. The food was beautiful. Well presented, wonderfully cooked and 'fast to the pass'. The grilled King Prawns in garlic and chilli butter are a 'must have'. You WILL fight over them! The slow cooked pork was melt in the mouth and thank goodness there was crusty bread to mop up the gravy. We will certainly be back on a regular and possibly frequent basis. The cost for 3 dishes, a side (try the warm potato, pea and ham salad) a large glass of wine and a large beer was........wait for it.......less than £40! With Pete and Andy running this place it has a bright future.

Excellent food and service would highly recommend..Good choice of small sharing plates on the menu..

Unique menu, which I loved. food was amazing, and goood portions, everything cooked to perfection. lovely relaxing atmosphere.

Very good food - haven’t had a bad meal here and have visited over 10 times for dinner and brunch Would be good if the card machine could be fixed that’s been broken for months!

Visited the lane for a family meal

Another lovely visit.10 of us walked in off the cuff,food top notch and service fantastic, quirky setting a real gem!!

Loved every moment from the minute of walking in the door to the moment I left. Staff was excellent and very polite and helpful. Would recommend to anyone who wants great food and a good atmosphere.

Alex and AJ , great people , great food , highly recommend, service brilliant, will be returning , jfdi,

Stopping nearby for weekend away, found this restaurant on here and it was well worth it! Ambience was really nice and quite like the idea of taking your own drinks. Service was really good, friendly and quick. Food was excellent- had a slight problem with one of the mains but this was really quickly rectified. Was so good we had to have desert ! Would highly recommend this place as somewhere to go for good food!

My friend and I went to this great restaurant on Tuesday night, it was my first visit as my friend had been raving about it. I can understand why. We had a starter each I had the belly pork cubes with chilli and she had the chicken liver parfait which we shared they were both delicious. We both had a steak I had the ribeye and she had fillet we both had the duck fat chips they were so yummy. At the moment they have no drink licence do we took a good bottle of red. I csnt recommend this place enough and wish it every success just what the area needs.

I have been to The Lane at lunchtime and found it very pleasant. My problem is I want to book for an evening meal but the phone number is disconnected and the email bounced back and as I do not do Facebook or any social sites can anybody advise me how I go about booking???

Had Sunday brunch here. Food was good and served pipping hot. No complaints about the service time or friendliness of service.

We've held off visiting as the venue looked to be overlit which they've happily addressed. We visited on a Sunday. Firstly the venue is clearly popular with local people keeping it busy, so the location is good. I found the decor quite bare with lots of wood, creating a colder ambience than you'd want to feel, but the service was much warmer. The food is good honest pub-style food, not overpriced.

I was heading on my way to Funky Monkey and saw this new cafe which seemed rather intimidating: done out on black, not obvious what it was called, rather stark wood decor and no menu outside to indicate what was being served and how much it was.

Great little resturant. Went for brunch. Menu was fab and food gorgeous. Had the pancakes with berries.

Had an excellent meal, I had featherblade beef and Jamie had rib eye steak 🥩 absolutely amazing food and service

Had an excellent meal at the lane and great value for the steak special. I'd say as good as Miller and Carter and Cau were in Wilmslow. Great service, friendly staff and nice decor. Would visit again.

Pleasant surroundings, with nice staff and good food. At at reasonable prices. Nice lunch - Thank you. My friend had the steak sandwich cooked medium. It was a huge steak. I had a veggie brunch.

All four of us called in for a Great Sunday dinner! Superb roast beef. Really enjoyed it. We will be back. Thank you.

Booked a table for 2 for Sunday lunch a week or so ago. Messaged first on Facebook but followed up with a call as I was anxious to book up as I was travelling down to Manchester for the day and we were on a tight schedule.

Came here with my mum for Sunday lunch after being told there were vegan options - plural. Got here and there was only a slightly average risotto as a vegan option - at the cost of £14. Wow. I had a side of chips as there were no vegan options for starter and dessert - these came at £3.50. Wouldn’t mind but my mums pork belly Sunday lunch which was piled high was £12. Something not right there. Don’t get me wrong it was a nice risotto but you would expect on the Sunday lunch menu the vegan option to be veg based with potatoes and then something in place of the meat. Very extortionate price for a risotto. Waiters were a bit rushed with us even though it wasn’t that busy. Seemed panicked. Although they did only look about 13 so maybe lack of experience. On the whole disappointed. Need to look at more variety for people with different dietary requirements.

At relatively short notice got a table for four. We knew that it was unlicensed but there was a off licence just a couple of doors down with a fair selection of wines and beers.

Despite the phone line being down (and therefore no card payments) the experience was lovely. Really nice food and clean premises.

We've been here several times and on each visit the food and service have been outstanding. Love the fact you take your own booze too. Looking forward to my next visit

Loverly staff but asked for coke ice and lemon no ice or lemon My friend wanted a steak panini no steak ,she wanted another coffee machine broke The place was cold with very little atmosphere but the food was nice

Food is excellent had a 3 course meal which was very well presented and tasted fantastic, service was spot on, will definitely come again

First visit to 203 The Lane. Fantastic food, great service. Great to have such a lovely restaurant on the doorstep. We will definitely be visiting again.

had lunch with my friend, was quiet when we arrived but soon got busy but at no point did the service change, the waiter kyle was friendly and helpfuland attentive at all times. ordered off the lunch menu ciabatta chicken and the rump one, both so full of meat that was xooked to perfection and the side salad just had that extra touch (i dont normally eat salad) will definatly eat here again

Pete the chef is amazing at what he does the food is perfect plentiful and delicious....cannot fault in any way ...service is fabulous staff ate friendly helpful and efficient ....just what you need on a night out ...

Freindly and welcoming new bistro. Great menu small but well done. No alcohol license but can take your own. Food tasty and delightful, Good quietly food. Amazing delphonoise potatoes and seafood pasta. Soon to become a regular feature for our family.

My husband and myself - First time visit. There was about 30-40 there and after our meeting the food was served very quickly. The staff couldn’t be more attentive and the food was fabulous. Had featherblade of beef which just melted in my mouth with Dijon mustard mash and peppercorn sauce. Hazelnut lattice with berry compot for desert finished off a great meal. We were there late but didn’t feel we were being rushed out. Would certainly recommend and will be going back again with family.

Visited 203 The Lane for the first time this evening with a friend and we absolutely loved it. The food (we both had the Beef featherblade) was delicious, the staff were friendly and accommodating and there was a great atmosphere. Will definitely be back again.

Very pleased indeed to have this new restaurant in Davenport ! The menu changes daily, everything is freshly prepared and where possible locally sourced. I think there were 5 starters and 6 mains on the dinner menu last night, so between our group we tried most of it and it was all delicious. Not yet licenced but a good range of soft drinks or take your own wine. Very friendly staff & good service. Almost sorry to let others in on the secret.

What a delightful surprise my first visit to 203 The Lane for dinner was. I was unsure of what to expect having passed by the window many times but once inside it was so much nicer than anticipated. The restaurant has a lovely local bistro vibe. The menu contained a good choice of options and the team were able to accommodate any variation needed for dietary requirements. The food was excellent. The staff are friendly and engaging. All with the added bonus that this is excellent value for money. So glad we chose to give 203 The Lane a try rather than head into Bramhall. I will definitely be returning. Great initiative and just what Davenport needs.

We have visited 203 The Lane on numerous occasions, lunchtimes, breakfast & brunch, a romantic dinner & recently had a fabulous party there for our company staff.

Recommended by a friend. Really tasty, fresh food; served quickly with aplomb! Well done Matt and the team 👏🏻

Oh yeah baby - 203 The Lane just keeps getting better! The missus and I wandered down for a cheeky boozy (bring your own!) lunch.

Food's great,prices are good and the staff are brilliant. Had a steak that was just perfect and my partner really enjoyed the chicken thingy-mi-doins she had. Top work.

Really poor brunch today. Storage heater not making much impact plus looks a bit crap. Eggs on toast soggy and cold. Staff indifferent. Loo dirty. Walking distance from home but would drive to eat somewhere warmer in every sense. Needs to up its game.

Went here for brunch with my baby and friends was busy but food came quick and was delicious my baby was made to feel very welcome floor staff was lovely and accomodating. Cannot wait to try the dinner menu 10/10.

Been here twice now and food hasn’t disappointed both times.

Excellent food and service. I have been to 203 The Lane a few times and always had a great experience. I decided to celebrate my birthday in there by have breakfast with family and also my meal at night, both were delicious.

New and Trendy Bistro / coffee bar with varied menu. Experienced chef/ owner, cutting his recent teeth with Andy Green of local pub. Well worth a visit, try the pancakes.

Meaning to try since opening but thought wuoild wait til new year. Tried the early bird, great choices, cooking and service. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Visited with my wife and 2 children. Quite an impromptu visit as we wee heading to Bramhall but having seen the place change from a Greengrocers to a restaurant it was on my list to go.

Visited on Saturday evening. We were a party of 10, both the food and service were excellent. Great new restaurant can't wait to come back.
