Alston Bar & Beef in Manchester

Whenever I work in this area, I always go to Waterside Cafe on Redhill St Manchester 4. Appropriately named, this delightful, clean, welcoming cafe sits by the canal. Inside it is very clean with an extensive light meal/snack menu. There are deep settees to relax in or chairs and tables. People sit with their newspapers or laptops. The owners are so helpful, friendly and accommodating. My favourite thing is the goat's cheese panini which is really good quality. Go there, it's a lovely place.

Great choice of real ales, well worth a visit.

Very friendly lady at the counter, who greeted me with a warm smile. Got a double espresso waiting for the train to Hazel Grove. Would recommend and visit again if in Manchester. Many thanks

Absolutely see why this hotel has such good reviews, location, rooms, lounge area are great. Also I totally recommend the Lasagna it was the best !!!!

Had the Christmas special, camembert burger, chose the chicken one. Came with bacon and cranberry sauce. Chip, 1 side and a drink for £20. It was beautiful! They forgot my side so asked our sever about it, think she was stressing with a large table she had because when I did ask she didn't look happy. Still, it didn't affect my experience too much, I know how hard server roles are! Highly recommended any time of day, a new special every week.
