Fold Bistro & Bottle Shop in Stockport

Absolutely impeccable roast! Beautiful flavours, cooked to perfection. Very hospitable and friendly service. We visited with 2 children and the team were amazing thank you will be back

We went a quiet Wednesday evening, but, whilst quiet Weds, (after the summer holidays), the service and food were really exceptional. Really wonderful, flavours, wonderfully balanced, freshly prepared food, we absolutely loved it, what a wonderful restaurant. Be back again soon. In fact Friday. ❤️😎

We have visited Fold on a few occasions from an evening meal to Sunday lunch, but most recently our son and daughter in law celebrated their wedding at Fold with family and friends. The food on the menu was absolutely delicious and was accompanied by an excellent selection of wine all served by an amazing team who are very friendly and attentive! The atmosphere at Fold is very warm and welcoming. We cannot wait to return very soon. Thank you to Sean and the wonderful team for making the occasion very special.

I’ve been wanting to try the set menu at Fold for some time so booked for lunch on a Thursday with a buddy. Firstly, the service from the staff is first rate…chilled at the bar with a beer before heading to our table. The food was superb…I loved the lamb kheena flatbread followed by scallops but they really raised the level with the barbecued octopus then the hogget belly skewer. Outstanding! I love my wine so I asked for a recommendation and the Hermann J Weiner Cabernet Franc from Finger Lakes in the US was spot on! I’ll have to go on-line and order some of this. If you’ve not had a chance to visit Fold…put it on your list! 👏

I cannot recommend Fold highly enough. The food,atmosphere and staff are all amazing! We have visited a couple of times ( despite living all the way in Staffordshire) and most recently enjoyed a family wedding at Fold. Oh my goodness it was the best wedding breakfast I have ever tasted! Shaun and the team could not be faulted on anything,the menu,the drinks and service were a solid 10/10. We cannot wait to visit again soon

We had our wedding here in August and it was truly magical! Every element of the planning for the big day, right up to the day itself was excellent! Ana managed the planning perfectly and it was so personable and professional; she knew exactly what we wanted and did everything, even down to sourcing flowers that matched our theme and decorating the restaurant perfectly. The food, as always at Fold, was out of this world. Jake spent hours making sure our menu was exactly what we wanted; bespoke and suited to us all. Everybody was blown away on the day with the quality of the food. The service was out of this world by all of the staff in the restaurant who couldn’t do enough for everyone, even the excitable children! Finally, Sean made sure our whole day was totally perfect, personal and truly magical! The best restaurant in Greater Manchester and beyond and the best location to celebrate our perfect day!

Amazing place. Had a delicious meal here, everything was fresh, exciting and prepared exquisitely. Great service, chefs helping run food when the waitressing staff were busy and vice versa, fab team work. Lovely wine, great atmosphere and attentive staff. Couldn't fault it, a foodies dream. We'll be back! Thank you!

Took my friend for a birthday lunch and it did not disappoint. Both the food and service were excellent! The chefs brought the food to the table and explained what we were eating, it was a really nice touch! Also, the pink drink was delicious.

This is such a great spot for a personal dining experience. Ordered so many dishes for the table to dip in and out of. The mussels stood out for me but honestly all dishes were faultless in quality and complimentary to all the components and pairings. The server (Ana-Mary) was so friendly and made extra effort to help us in choosing the correct dishes for our table etc. The chef even brought several dishes over to us to explain. I will be visiting again and recommend this to everyone!!!

We went on Sunday and had the 3 course meal for £38 per person. We also added the oysters and they were fresh and tasty. The Manchester IPA beignet starter and that was a sensational starter. We then had the chicken and the beef roast. The Yorkshire pudding is the best I ever had. Atmosphere is really good and you get a really good service. Would highly recommend trying the roast.

Amazing place the food was to die for and the staff were fantastic very attentive would highly recommend visiting this place. We loved the fact you could see your food being prepared too it was fascinating to see how much effort and love goes into each and every dish. Thank you all so much for a wonderful dining experience

Loud, intrusive music and crowded dining area spoiled the ambience. Food good, prices - especially wine - outrageous!

Had a Saturday lunch here, 3 small plates for £30, every dish was outstanding, couldn’t believe the value. Very friendly service and delicious wine to boot, had the Greek orange wine. What a stunning restaurant, a complete gem, was my first visit but most definitely not my last.

Third time we have visited Fold and we can not fault it. The food, wine and service is outstanding. The chefs are professional and willing to explain plates. The wine choices are superb and front of house staff are very welcoming. Our plan is to visit each season in line with the menu change. Well done Fold on you consistency and outstanding contribution to the local area. 5 stars!!

Gorgeous night at Fold on Saturday. Sean looked after us very well, and went above and beyond with the cocktails and incredible sirloin! Fold has THE tastiest food, credit to the chef. Who knew carrots could taste so good? Can't wait to come for Sunday lunch!

Great food. Great wine. Great service and a fair price!

Fantastic little bistro, the food was amazing. I’ve recommended it to family and friends, looking forward to my next visit.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch at Fold. Top food, top beer & wine, top service. We were in a large party of 6 adults, 4 kids and 2 babies. Staff were very accommodating.

A cracking spot for a Sunday Roast with an extensive wine list and friendly, personal service. The Porchetta was incredible! Highly recommended and will absolutely be back to sample the main menu too

We have just returned from a beautiful 3 course Sunday lunch! Honestly...we have walked past this place a few times over the past year and not really given it much thought! Fancying a Sunday lunch and a quick Google search for inspiration..up popped Fold! What a recommendation from Google! What a great local find for us! I'm so pleased we tried this place out! From arriving & throughout we were so well looked after and informed by the waiting staff. All 3 courses were absolutely gorgeous. Fresh, well presented & very tasty! I'd 100% recommend & will absolutely be back to try out the weekday/end menu!

A late review having gone here a couple of months ago. Some of the best food we have ever had, along with lovely and accommodating service. Each dish feels perfectly created and it is a treat to see it being prepared in the open kitchen.

Visited for the Sunday roast. Staff exceptional and such good service. Probably the best Sunday roast I have eaten out in a very long time..Quality meat with interesting veg. I’m not a dessert fan but the carrot cake was unusual and I would want to go back for it. Lovely atmosphere. Will go back

Fold restaurant in Marple Bridge offers an unforgettable dining experience, where British seasonal sharing plates take center stage with a tantalizing blend of multi-cultural influences and nods to North West nostalgia. Last Friday, our party of four indulged in an exceptional meal, leaving us with memories of delightful flavors and impeccable service. From the moment we entered, the ambiance set the stage for an evening of culinary exploration. We were fortunate to have been allocated the table nearest the Chef's kitchen which meant we could see each dish being expertly crafted with attention to detail & each dish we tried was bursting with freshness. The sharing concept fostered an atmosphere of camaraderie, enhancing our dining experience as we savored every bite together. Fold restaurant is truly a gem in Marple Bridge, the service from the front of house team was superb, matched equally by the flare and hardwork of the Chef and all his team. It was especially nice touch that the owner came across and took the time out on a very busy night to chat with the four of us and gauge feedback on our first visit to his excellent restaurant. In a nutshell, Fold offers a culinary journey and relaxed ambience that celebrates British cuisine while embracing global inspiration without being in the least pretentious! Our evening there was nothing short of extraordinary, leaving us eager to return for more culinary adventures. Thanks again to all the team at Fold Bistro & Bottle Shop

Went to fold for the second time for our anniversary and can’t recommend it enough. Emily and Ana are both wonderful. Incredibly knowledgable about the food and the wine and made you feel very comfortable/at home. The place was super busy but we weren’t rushed to get off the table and the food and drinks came in great time. The food was amazing and a fantastic price, especially for the quality of the food. We will definitely be returning and can’t wait to come back.

Where to start - this was our first visit & it certainly won't be the last. The food is astonishingly good - all fresh & cooked to order, portions are generous, the staff knowledgeable and friendly & the chef is gifted. What's not to like? Simply perfect!

Visited for breakfast with our daughter. Quality of food was excellent. It’s the best dine-in breakfast we’ve had in and around Marple. Service was outstanding and the decor is lovely. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely sublime! Will definitely be back. It was so special. Best cocktails I’ve ever had! The food was honestly out of this world. Everyone who worked there was so welcoming and attentive. Can’t recommend enough - thank you for making my mum’s 60th really special! xxxxxx

We had Sunday lunch. It was a lovely meal apart from dessert. The burrata starter was delicious. The Foldteaser was basically a bowl of cream, sugar, a blob of sweet chocolate and not much else. It looked bog standard considering they care a lot about the presentation and flavours of other dishes. My husband did not want potatoes so ordered the celeriac mash. Front of house staff did not tell him that this was basically potato mash with celeriac and we don't think that was clear on the menu. Could do better for the money we paid.

Outstanding; low key Michelin star standard. Went for brunch- hands down new place for brunch in greater Manchester. Priced well. Great detail. Few degrees warmer, shift the menus away from table 1 and keep up the professionalism. Well done folks

Best restaurant for an excellent experience, recommended to everyone!

Outstanding food, with a creative and well thought out menu. Extremely friendly service. We have eaten both a la carte and tasting menus several times and thoroughly enjoyed the food each time. The wine selection is incredible and the team are very knowledgeable in terms of wine pairing. Extremely fortunate to have such an incredible restaurant on our doorstep. Would highly recommend it if you haven't already tried it! Been here several times since...started to become a regular! The whole team make us feel part of the Fold family every time we come, and the food goes from strength to strength. Thank you for looking after us!

Every dish we had was fantastic staff go out of their way and a great touch that the chefs bring out your food to explain. A lovely touch of gifts handed out to celebrate their first birthday. Well done fold !

Great experience on my birthday very special place to go food amazing food all cooked fresh great choice of wines

Amazing food with incredible flavours. So lucky to have this unique restaurant in our town

What a fantastic little place, I true hidden gem, we were blown away by the food and service, everything it should be and nothing it shouldn’t, something that is becoming lost in most places nowadays!

Incredible food, in a relaxed environment. The waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the wine. Would definitely recommend it!

Outrageously good food, haven't had a meal this good in years. Well done to all the team who work here 👏 👍 🙌

Only had Sunday dinner but WOW what a beautiful experience it was the food amazing the service outstanding and a great atmosphere, what a lovely addition to the village

Had the 4 course lunch menu today, it was excellent food with good service. Will be going back

This is hands down the best Sunday roast in Manchester. Reluctant to share this hidden treasure with the masses as it’s on our doorstep however, it’s just too good not to. Food, wine, service and atmosphere all 10/10. Also visited and ate from the standard menu (small plates) a few times now, and it’s equally as impressive. Sean and his team have built something very special in Marple Bridge.

First time but won't be the last!!! Lovely little place on the main street in Marple Bridge, booked a while ago and glad we did. The food is second to none and worth every penny. Nice to see the chef creating every dish, as they are basically in the room. Attentive staff extremely polite and knowledgeable regarding the food. Thank u fold. See ya soon. M & S ❤️

From the moment you walk in, this place is incredible. Amazing staff, beautiful setting and break taking food. I can't wait to go back. Highly highly recommend to everyone who loves food. Go!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing Sunday roast with excellent wine and atmosphere. Lovely overall

Best place I've been to in a long time ....

Amazing Sunday roast dinner, delicious tasting side dishes, all excellent quality and the vegetarian option was the nicest mushroom options I’ve had. Great service by the team and the open kitchen added to the atmosphere. Enjoyed by all and will be back again. Thank you

We ate at Fold for the first time last night for my sons birthday and the food and service were excellent - we were spoilt for choice and ordered a few too many dishes but ate everything….. all the food portions were bigger than expected and it would genuinely be hard to say which I preferred -the beef wagu toast and the lobster was stunning the lamb melted in your mouth and the sea bass was cooked perfectly not to mention the slaw and tempura broccoli - as I write this the next morning I could eat it all again - especially the cheesecake with Turkish delight ice cream which was perfect - thank you to all at fold we were thrilled that somewhere relatively close by was serving up such high quality food in a great setting with such pleasant service and atmosphere long May it continue xxxx

The taste of all the food was really good and we thought the menu was well-conceived and executed and not at all run of the mill..... BUT - when we asked, there was no english mustard to go with the Sunday lunch beef - why? - a small bowl containing 2 side dishes of a few carrots and some asparagus spears cost £10! - although the roast potatoes were hot, the meat and vegetables were not. We told the waitress, who confirmed she had told the chef but that seemed to be the end of that! - my cheese board contained 3 cheeses but not one of them was per the 3 described on the menu! - at the end of the meal we were expecting to be asked if we'd like coffee or liqueurs but instead just received the bill (we hadn't asked for it at that point) So to summarise our experience, this bistro clearly has many positives in terms of the food offering but there were some negatives that are easy to rectify. If that were to happen, then our 4 star rating would become 5.

Perfect in every way went with my wife and 2 friends on this occasion but have been before. The work that goes into the place is from top to bottom. Best Sunday Lunch I have had in a restaurant. Owner is almost always on site and the feel of the place is like you belong. Head chef even came out to explain the different cheeses etc even though it was packed out. Thanks again. Bud

This was our second visit there, food is great quality. Plates arrive at different times, and depending on your appetite you may order between 3-4 (including starters). It was a very busy Friday eve (and deservedly so given the quality of the food) and serving staff remained courteous at all times. It appears some patrons became impatient, but if you go with the flow, you will enjoy it. The open kitchen added to the atmosphere, it is a small restaurant, so tables are rather close together as other reviewers have mentioned. If you enjoy great quality food, you will not be disappointed.

Went for lunch yesterday and what an incredible dining experience. Our wonderful waitress was attentive, knowledgeable & incredibly patient. The food without exception, was of the highest quality with incredible attention to detail. My word those gentleman can cook. A superb dining experience and we will be back for the new Autumn menu.

We booked Fold a few weeks in advance for a Sunday lunch at 1pm. On the day we were running late and they said they were fully booked so couldn’t extend our 2 hour slot on a table for two. This was fine as we were done in 1.5 hours. We were expecting the normal menu, but saw it was a Sunday dinner. It was up there with one of the best Sunday dinners we’ve had out. I cannot stress how tender and soft the roast beef was. Truly cooked to perfection. Would recommend the chambray carrots and celeriac mash. For starters we got the scampi and smoked sausage, for me they were just ok. My husband loved the smoked sausage, but that’s more his taste palate. We were on a small table for two, very close to two other tables for two. For us we don’t mind as we’re sociable, but there was no privacy for conversation. We found ourselves talking about the topics the couples next to us were, without realising! Overall amazing dining experience, loved the open kitchen and positive vibe in the place. We would definitely come back

Great place, seafood options were the best, wines are awesome.

A breakfast with a difference. Some dishes quite rich. A refreshing change from standard English Breakfast fare. Needs a breakfast sized cup of coffee to complete!!! Priced well for what it is. Would definitely go again.

Perfect from start to finish. Good wines , friendly pleasant server... sorry Freya ? Exquisite flavours and presentation of every dish ....well worth the bill in my mind. Unpretentious atmosphere...will return .

Had a wonderful brunch at FOLD. This place is a gem. Treacle cured bacon in a brioche. Best americano coffee and a smoothie. I wish I lived in Marple.

Been here twice now. One had their winter menu and it was incredible the boddingtons reduction is incredible!! They need to sell it in a bottle! Had a Sunday roast here most recently was brilliant so tasty and the 2 course deal was such good value for that quality of food Excited for what they will do next menu wise It’s small inside so I understand there’s no space really for dogs but I do hope in the future they could maybe open up an outside area out back if they have the space to do so 🤞 so it could have dog friendly seating at some point. But not sure if that’s possible of course. 10/10 highly recommend

Wow what a Spectacular Sunday Lunch The flavours were amazing, the staff were fantastic, very attentive. What a gem of a find, thank you Manchester Finest

Came in for drinks. Great selection of cocktails, wine and cask ale's. Lovely service explaining about the selection of wine's and the menu. Can't wait to try the food.

We enjoyed a fabulous four course lunch here yesterday. The food was beautifully presented in a modern style and each course was creative as well as delicious. We were served by Ana who was efficiently attentive, friendly and informative. It was a standout experience and we will definitely return.

WOW! I genuinely think this was one of the best meals I have ever eaten. This restaurant is outstanding, the food is so interesting and unique, we have never tried flavour combinations like it. The food was incredible, cooked infromt of you with the amazing open kitchen. Every course was outstanding and we could not believe the value for money that we got in the lunch time deal. The service was impeccable, our waitress was so knowledgeable and knew the menu inside out. We will be coming back time and time again now. You need to try this place, you will not be dissapointed.

A lovely place a,warm welcome by Sean. Food was amazing on the Italian taster menu evening 😋. Well worth a visit

Discovered this bistro today, real gem of a place. Lucky enough to find a parking place in the street, but even if you have to park further away, it's well worth the visit. A complex and delicious combination of flavours in the salt and pepper sea bass - and a perfect host/manager made us feel very welcome and relaxed.

Food was outstanding Couldn’t fault any of it Great products and perfectly executed . ( I have seen the menu for a Korean inspired night and it looked odd , however this is by the by ) Wine list again great selection and sensibly priced However I don’t think I will be back anytime soon , As the service was lacking and I wasn’t feeling welcomed at all ( not sure if it was to do with me not born and raised locally )

Another lovely afternoon at Fold - thank you! A little gem for Marple Bridge!

Afraid my partner and I were really disappointed with the food despite all the rave reviews. It's very over-priced and not that tasty. We were also crammed in, felt like we were dining with the other couple next to us and group behind. Toilet also wasn't very nice and clean. Saddens me to say but style over substance.

Fab staff and food just lovely.

The food was perfectly pleasant, but horribly and unnecessarily expensive. Small tapas type dishes at up to £26 per dish is not acceptable. Sadly, whilst I thought the quality of the food was on the better side of average, I would not go back because of the price. My objection is not to high prices in general, but, rather, the fact that the quality and experience did not reflect the price. In my view bistro food at near Michelin star prices.

We are keen cooks and, consequently , seldom eat out. Fold is expensive, make no mistake, but the food is superlative. It’s off the scale. Interesting, delicious,flavourful…I am challenged to think of words to express how excellent it was. Every dish is carefully thought through and beautifully presented on gorgeous ceramics. All staff members are well informed and friendly. It’s small and intimate and was buzzing on Wednesday evening. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thanks to all.

Just enjoyed a fantastic Sunday lunch here. The food was excellent and all the staff were very welcoming.

Incredible place. Food was outstanding, the wine better and the staff made it so so enjoyable. Could not fault them ! Can't wait to bring our friends back.

Lovely place. Only popped in for a lunch time drink and snack but will be back for more!

Great service from Freya, food comes out quick and is well-presented/tasty. Quite pricey but definitely a solid choice for a special occasion.

Nice food but over priced , very pretentious it’s not the ivy . Lovely friendly staff but the toilets are appalling which unfortunately does let it down

Popped in for a morning coffee, it was the best long black I have had in ages!

What a special place to have in Marple Bridge, beautiful dishes and refreshing flavours, can't wait to go again

Lovely lunch time meal with my wife, baby son and my mum. Very good food and excellent service. Highly recommended.

What an awesome addition to the area! The food is outstanding, the atmosphere great, drinks delicious. What a place.

Superb and absolutely loved it A great addition to the area and we will definitely be returning Really friendly service and most of all the food was awesome

Such a lovely experience, it was absolutely delicious and busy for a good reason. The presentation of the food was beautiful and tastes incredible! Very New York and cosmopolitan vibe! 100% recommend! Food was perfect, couldn’t fault it. It’s creative, looks beautiful and makes you want to try the entire menu, our table service was excellent and attentive, and we had the chance to catch the owner briefly at the end, it was nice to hear it from a personal side. Looking forward to our next visit! Thank you :)

Fantastic food and atmosphere, friendly staff what more could you ask for 5/5 will definitely be back

Great hospitality, food was excellent and the wine selection amazing. I will return

My husband and I had a fabulous night at Fold. The bar staff were very welcoming and helped us decide on a wine to have with our meal. Georgia our waitress was lovely and informative. We really enjoyed the tapas style British cuisine, well thought out menu. Not only did the food taste great it looked amazing too.

Seriously sensational food, great service and lovely ambiance.

The Fold transformed a mid week family meal out into a proper event and a truly memorable dining experience. It’s a distinctive and delicious menu with expert, attentive service which we really appreciated.

Works do here, staff friendly and food was amazing 👏

Only a few things to say WOW!!!!!!! dont miss this place

Outstanding food, friendly service and great selection of wine. We loved everything that we tried: focaccia, pickles, oysters, cold and hot plates and desserts. Burrata is great!

Absolutely fantastic food, some of the dishes are so interesting. The restaurant itself has a really lovely atmosphere and Freya (who served us) was so great and knowledgeable about the food and drinks. We will be back!

Wow! Blown away by the food here, superb to have such a great restaurant here in Marple Bridge. You can really tell that the chef who worked with Gordon Ramsay has shaped the menu. Highly recommended, will definitely be returning soon!

Great atmosphere, original dishes skilfully prepared, friendly and attentive staff. We tried a range of the dishes between us and had friendly disagreements about our favourites! (Mine was the Fire Roasted Mackerel Taco…). A welcome asset to Marple Bridge: highly recommended.

The food and drinks are amazing. Complements to the chef!! Very classy ambiance and friendly staff. I will def come back again (and again:))

Visited FOLD Bistro & Bottle Shop with friends visiting from london. From the moment we arrived to the time we left the welcome and atmosphere were amazing. Food wonderful and abundant, excellent value for money. Will definitely be returning and hopefully very soon.

Gorgeous interior. Friendly and welcoming staff who couldn’t do enough for us. Fantastic selection of wine, beer and cocktails. The food is beyond lovely. High end small plates served in such a beautiful way. Definitely worth a visit. Very pleased to have this new addition in Marple Bridge.

We had a fantastic meal on Saturday afternoon. The food is amazing and the staff were so lovely and friendly.

Fantastic new addition to Marple Bridge. Food was fabulous and the service and atmosphere were also top notch. Both the food and drinks menu have so many great choices that a return visit will be needed very soon.

Fabulous atmosphere and great food looking forward to our next visit. Wonderful addition to Marple Bridges fabulous restaurants.

Gorgeous new bistro & bottle shop in Marple! Excellent imaginative food, unique cocktails and a great wine list, with welcoming & attentive staff. The space itself is stunning and very well presented without being too stuffy. Definitely a must visit for anyone in greater Manc/Stockport :-)
