Escape To Freight Island in Manchester

absolutely amazing place would recommend to all

Amazing food and drink , good atmosphere

Great customer service, bartenders were great!

Dreadful place on a Sunday Afternoon. Deafening (still got tinnitus 24hrs later) with some terrible covers band then a slog through terrible records from the 1970ts. Like some nightmare stag do gone wrong with aggressive looking drunks. Food service from Ornalla was terrible, kept us waiting 30 minutes then brought out the wrong food. Worst experience I have had in Manchester in all my years. AVOID

As you can't book a table at Ornella's in Denton was excited to hear they had opened a kitchen here. However, disappointing experience and wouldn't go again. Limited menu choice compared to venue in Denton. Have to order food yourself by scanning a Q R code and the wine was just plonked on the table to open ourselves. I just hope this doesn't spoil the reputation of the original place which is lovely. My only comment on this is you need to get some decent wine put on the menu to go with the nice food!

Freight island is the best on a sunny weekend like today! ♥️

First time and wont be coming again. Waited well over an hour for my food, which still didn't get. Very poor.

Absolutely Amazing absolutely recommend

Worst service ever! I would quite like to speak to a manager about their customer service which is appalling

Reminds me of WHP. Vibes are fun and food was awesome! Would come back again!

Chicken burger was amazing! I didn’t receive a message it was ready like the rest of my table and it was a 30 minute wait! Great space and quick service at the bar!

Here for my birthday night out with friends, amazing food, drinks, service and atmosphere 💃🏻

Love this place ! Really great atmosphere and always great service for food and drinks. I’ve come 5/6 times now and never had a bad experience. Their cocktails are great and not too expensive considering the location. Food is always great and good selection to choose from. Would highly recommend !

Went to a reggae event yesterday. Never disappoints. Great venue, sound system, vibe, service/ staff. Perfect place in the sun but I've been there in drizzle and great areas for that too. Recommended

Went for a free day party to see Channel One and Iration Steppas an A Class venue and sound system and a variety of food vendors and bars! I liked it all a lot, a really cool space. Took this picture outside.

Great food, vibes and drinks to order, love freight island every time I come

Super fast service. Good entertainment. Great night

1st time at freight island. Food from FUKU and mega Gyros was spot on! Great atmosphere and the draught berry cider was lush! We will be back!

Food is super overpriced and mid but the vibes of the place are great. Fantastic place to hang out on a nice night

Great time! Doug on the bar is great 👍🏼

Lovely little date night before a comedy gig! We came when the rugby was on, so it was absolutely heaving and really loud. I thought this might be a bit chaotic for me and boyfriend to grab some food in, but the venue is so big that we just tucked ourselves on a table in the corner away from the screens and it was fine. We went to Fuku for food. I think the prices are quite high for what you get, I paid £6 for four gyoza and £12 for what turned up to be a small portion of salt and pepper tofu with fries. This was meant to come with sauce and didn’t, and was lacking flavour - it was like they just sprinkled salt and pepper mix over some chips and puff tofu. You go and collect your food from the relevant venue when it’s ready - and everything from drinks to a shared dessert were all really quickly made, despite being from different places. I’d definitely recommend and come back, I might just shop around a bit more for food.

Bit busy but plenty of places to sit, both inside and outside. A wide range of food to enjoy

It's like Love Island at Blackpool. If you're into gym music and tattooed people who love themselves a bit too much, this is the place for you! There's plenty of selection for food which was actually pretty decent. The bars had a good choice of drink too ranging from beers, spirits and coffee. But there's very little atmosphere and you see people walking around like it's a nightclub (20 something's bouncing off each other's shoulders all excited they've seen a member of the opposite sex) but there's kids there too... It's all very strange. It was the second time I'd been, the first was when social restrictions were in place. Neither time have been my choice and it never will be.

Had the best summer of 2024 here, can’t wait for 2025 ❤️

Really good food, drinks and good entertainment

Great spot for food and drinks.

Lots to eat and drink, there’s always a fun event every weekend and there’s a games arcade too. Friendly and helpful staff and the security is top notch.

The vibe is immaculate. Scran good, Weather good, Music on another level 1530 on a Sunday!

Here for the first time and not the last , enjoyed the atmosphere and also the hospitality

Beautiful place, great food and fantastic music, service and atmosphere

This place is absolutely stunnign!

Here for a hen do and it’s been fab!

Great atmosphere and so much choice of food and drinks!!

Great service, amazing atmosphere 10/10

Amazing venue, many good food choices inc loads of vegan options. Great for a hen do.

I love it here, great atmosphere

The service was a bit slow but other than that, a great time!!

We booked the terrace for a private party, staff very hospitable and welcoming, nothing too much trouble. Bar staff really friendly and accommodating. Food excellent! Will come back again !

Online service horrendous Pls fix it

Looks great lots of different foods and drink to try what more can you ask for

Amazing service by August and Ella, accommodated our needs amazingly, impeccable service well done we are astounded by this service

Amazing food at a really decent price, loads of different styles to choose from and a great atmosphere. You could spend a full day in here easily!

Food was amazing! Best chicken tenders and pulled pork that I've had!!! Great friendly staff xx

Unreal service, unreal atmosphere, what a place!

First time and we will be back, lovely food and great atmosphere

First time and so much choice and food and drinks are class

I had a great time at this event. Staff were friendly, bar service was quick, prices not too bad. The dance floor was a good space, decent mix of music, great atmosphere. Not enough toilets, though. Big queues.

Great place for all ! Had some lovely food and vibe on point. Good for families too!

An amazing venue with a wonderful atmosphere! The venue comprises a wide variety of outlets catering for an impressive range of food styles. My visit was very enjoyable! The staff were super friendly & eager & displayed genuine enthusiasm. The only possible negative factor is the price, as it is by no means a cheap venue with most items on the menu being quite expensive.

La comida era preciosa, pero la música era tan alta que era imposible hablar. El peor servicio que recuerdo. Pedir un código qr no es un problema, pero no hay servicio de mesa? Tener que ir a recoger de otro piso todo en cualquier momento que esté listo es una experiencia de basura. Pedí de Fuku. Recibí un mensaje de texto para decir que mi comida estaba lista, así que bajé y luego me paré por AGES totalmente ignorado, mientras que unos 10 platos se sentaron en el mostrador y la persona con la que fui estaba sentada sola arriba. La opción de bar era hacer cola a unos 10 de profundidad para una margarita congelada o una sala de grifos. No tenía idea de que el bar era solo una sala de grifo y el desprecio del servicio de atención al cliente cuando pedí un ron y coca era irreal.

Attending a great event Dancing in the Daylight

Fantastic day @ Dancing in the daylight xx

Freight Island is a food hall which hosts events and is the perfect place to watch big sporting events. There is a large selection of food and drinks on sale here, making it perfect when you have a group with differing opinions. Among this there are a number of vegan/plant-based options. We first tried the Fuku Tofu bowl with Hoi Sin sauce which was delicious. I personally would have preferred slightly more tofu but it was very tasty. We also tried Burgerism which served their Vegan Burger with signature burger sauce. This was absolutely amazing! One of the best vegan burgers I have ever tried; the smashed patty was just delicious and perfectly cooked. Overall this is an amazing venue to visit with friends and super convenient as it is located right beside Picadilly station. I would definitely advise visiting if you are in the area 😊

Severely disappointed with this place. They closed the internal area for a private function which is a ridiculous thing to do on a busy Saturday. The wait for food was over 40 mins, queues for the toilets which are porta loo's and not very pleasant.

Horrible site, horrible vibes, don't ever come to freight house especially if you're Welsh

Great venue to watch rugby - lovely staff as well

Came here for the Six Nations, great atmosphere and staff are lovely!! :)))

Gran experiencia y perfecto para una reunión de cumpleaños. Me gustaría defo ir de nuevo. Es perfecto para el buen tiempo o la mierda, ya que tienen asientos interiores y exteriores. Buena selección de pintas y comida en oferta; bofetadas giroscópicas.

Great service and the best vibes

Amazing food and drink, free atmosphere 😍

Great place to have some bevs and get some lovely food. Good selection

great watch for the rugby and very friendly staff!

Fantastic atmosphere while watching the rugby!

Amazing atmosphere for super Saturday!!

Met by intimidating bouncers at the entrance with no helpful staff and seems to bring a rowdy crowd, not for me.

Atmosphere is great, staff are so lovely, prices are good and so many different and unique spaces to explore

Great drinks, quick service and great atmosphere for the rugby. Staff are great at the bar

Amazing band and great atmosphere!!

Loved the food and vibes!! great for kids of all ages!

don't you dare come here if you value your time

Left this for the free drink, stayed for the vibes :)

Came for bingo ling the bartender was lovely and the drinks were good 😊

Was looking for somewhere to drink in the sun when visiting Mayfield Park and was told that Freight Island has the biggest beer garden in Manchester. They weren't wrong!! Proper mint vibes and they had some top DJs playing as well. Decent beer selection too

Super quick service, great food and good atmosphere!

Good selection of food, beautiful on a nice sunny day

Great especially when sun is out. Food is sooo good and love the atmosphere. Always a great place to go for a day out.

Great place to spend the day, great variety of food stands and loads of space for kids to run around and play. Food stands are varied in quality, quantity and taste. You can always find something to your taste but not all food is great. The cost of a pint is reasonable for Manchester and you essentially pay for the place.

Great venue. Quiet when we visited but still had great atmosphere and lighting and space was very different. Worth the walk to visit and Burgerism was good.
