Foundry Project Manchester in Manchester

Absolutely Chaotic and Disappointing Experience Our group had a table booked for 6 pm tonight, but unfortunately, our evening was a complete shambles from the moment we arrived. We were running slightly late and tried to call the restaurant beforehand, but no one answered the phone. Upon arrival, it was clear the staff were overwhelmed and disorganised. There seemed to be no clear system in place, and staff members were scarce. We were informed that we had to order our food at the bar, which was inconvenient and not the service we expected. While waiting at the bar for our drinks, the situation worsened. My friend was trying to take advantage of a "two for one" offer. Despite it being only one minute past the advertised end time of the offer, and the fact that we were delayed due to the restaurant's lack of phone answering and the subsequent chaos upon arrival, the staff refused to honour the promotion. This felt incredibly unfair and showed a complete lack of customer consideration. Overall, our experience was incredibly disappointing. The lack of organisation, unavailable staff, and the inflexible and frankly unreasonable handling of the offer left a very sour taste. We will certainly not be returning and would advise others to consider alternative options.

Great food with fast service. The food was very hot and tasted amazing.

Just WOW. This place is the tits. Mat with one T is the host with the most. This guy knows how to party and is a fountain of knowledge of all things booze and fun. Could not recommend enough. Foundry Project more like Fundry Project

Really lovely atmosphere, the general manager was so welcoming and chatty with fast service! First time here and would definitely come again!

Mat was amazing he was quick and catered to our needs efficiently! Atmosphere wasn’t so great but because it was early and empty but I assume it would be a great time

This was such a great place for a bottomless brunch! It was a very busy Good Friday, but that staff were fab. Chibby was our server, he was so friendly, and accommodating, and most importantly kept our drinks topped up! The food was lovely too. I would definitely return.

We booked a bottomless brunch for 9 people, drinks food & service were fab! Would recommend and will be returning in the future

I’ve been to quite a few bottomless. This is the best bottomless for food, drinks and service. If your in manneh and want to have the most blessed night for a cheap price, start ur night here

Just been with a few friends and absolutely LOVED it. Frankie is phenomenal. Hopefully the manager sees this and gives them sort of bonus. Frankie made our day!

I highly recommend the bottomless brunch. The food was excellent, and the service was even better! Big thank you to Frankie!

Frankie was absolutely amazing I would hire him at any venue

We had bottomless brunch for my sisters 50th - the server (I can't remember his name! Sorry) was excellent! So friendly and attentive. Will defo recommend and we all said we will 100% come back again! Thank you for making my sisters day special! X

Great all round. The food order got mixed up but was sorted promptly with no issues. Would have liked the 10% qr code to have worked as we had 6 alcoholic drinks. Would definitely visit again. Thank you

Mat was a great host this afternoon. He was friendly and very accommodating.

Yesterday we visited foundry project for the first time and wasn't disappointed in fact it has been one of the best bottomless brunch's we have done in a while. I also think that all the staff where a massive contribution to our 5* review especially Evie who was amazing and so attentive. Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon we will be back 😀

Decent food however was really loud, staff weren’t bothered about us and repeatedly forgot drinks we ordered and they didn’t have my booking even though I had all the confirmations.

Had a great time at bottomless brunch with friends. Really enjoyed the caesar salad. Our server Evie was amazing - she was very helpful with menu recommendations and was very speedy with the drinks refills, even with a group of 14. Will definitely be back!

16 of us went for brunch for my 30th - We were really looked after, food was really nice and the server really did look after us so well

We came as a large group and had an amazing time. Evie our server was incredible and made sure we were always looked after. The caesar salad was mediocre but everything else was unreal. The burger doesn’t come with salad but no problem as I was happy to donate my caesar salad. Definitely will be back. 10/10

Frankie was fabulous, great service!

Brilliant went here before Peter Kay They had brilliant food and drink to choose from and a DJ came on cool music nothing to loud

MJ was a sweetheart, way more booze than the value, didnt have to pester people for an order!! Pancakes were *chefskiss*

Service great. Food not great. Atmosphere not suitable to our meet up (we are in our 30s with our parents in their 70s) but that is on us. Atmosphere probably as expected in Northern Quarter.

MJ was an amazing server. Bottomless brunch went smoothly and very good service. Good value for money

We came here in a group of 15 for my daughter’s birthday bottomless brunch. The staff are really attentive, friendly and made sure we were all looked after. The food was a little cold when we got it but to be fair it was really good. The drinks flowed and we never had an empty glass. The main girl that served us was young but so helpful, she was great! Lovely atmosphere and I’d definitely recommend!

Hanna was amazing - such a lovely server. Would definitely recommend for a lovely girly brunch.

Hannah was absolutely amazing! Thank you so much xx

Hanna was brilliant! Never an empty glass!!

The afternoon started off well until I was unable to order my cocktail of choice as they apparently ran out of the whisky component and couldn’t even offer me a whisky replacement to complete the cocktail!

Service was great but the food quality horrible. Place is nice and clean

Evie was was amazing !!! So tentative and very kind !!

Jordan was by far the best service we have had and he is a credit to your business.

Charlie was so amazing, we had a lovely time and can’t wait to come back again. Note for the chefs: please include some form of bread with the vegan breakfast. I don’t wanna eat baked beans or avocado on their own without a carb 😭

Had a wonderful experience at foundry the other day and was served by a lovely girl called hannah who was very kind and polite. Definitely would come back.

Hanna was amazing! Really great service and kept bringing us drinks. We really loved it and she was so nice

Evie was an absolutely brilliant waitress she made our evening! Thank you!!!

Evie was so lovely and attentive, lovely place.

Had a group of 16 for a bottomless brunch, foundry were amazing so attentive with anything we needed, drinks came really quickly so everyone had a great time

Evie has been amazing.. so attentive and loving feeding us drinks at all times. Great place

This is a nice bar. It's got an ok selection on Draught, so I went with Brooklyn . Another bar that attracts a lively younger crowd, they played some great music whilst I was in there, it's not often you get the full 7 minute ( and so many seconds version ) of The Doors Riders on the storm..... Oh, and I'd never had a pizza with goats cheese and caramelised onions on before. What a revelation. Definitely have that spicy chicken pizza if you're in there.

Cracking vibe at the pop up board game café and Taemar was an absolutely fantastic bar tender ❤️

Very nice place, very good atmosphere

We came for a bottomless brunch for my friends birthday. We were a group of 7 girls and the service we received was fantastic from the minute we arrived. We were greeted by MJ and herself and Hannah served us throughout our booking. They were both so friendly, efficient and helpful and made the experience a very pleasant one from start to finish. Thanks MJ and Hannah.

Just had a lovely visit to this hidden gem with a great ambience and a fantastic pint, service with a smile what more could you want .. thank you Taemar, 5 star will be coming back ... cheers

Decent bar and great service from Taemar

Didn't eat so can't comment on the food, but always warm and attentive service. Taemar was a delight.

Llegó para el brunch sin fondo con un grupo grande y no decepcionó. Nuestro servidor MJ era increíble, muy buen ambiente positivo y se mantuvo en la cima de las bebidas todo el tiempo - estábamos muy bien atendidos. También había un DJ todo el día y la víspera, así que un gran ambiente.

Me reuní con amigos para almorzar. Solo un sándwich que era muy básico. Se suponía que el sándwich de bistec venía con queso azul, pero no lo hizo. Las patatas estaban frías. Obtuvimos un descuento en la factura, pero no volveríamos a ir. Muy pobre.

Really great experience, a healthy amount of drinks provided. Our server Charlie was amazing - just the nicest person who supplied us with a sufficient amount of drinks whilst giving us top notch service. Happy days! The food is really nice, just not Michelin star hence the 4/5.

Really relaxed and warm atmosphere. Service was excellent, very attentive staff. Lovely food and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for making our lunch out such a lovely experience. We will be back. PS the house Prosecco was really nice- not too dry! 👌

Em J was very helpful throughout and made my friends baby shower amazing at bottomless brunch - thank you! 😊😊

Had a fantastic time and Em-J went above and beyond for us!

Em was fabulous! Very friendly, went the extra mile to look after us all- thank you very much

Great service, drinks always topped up for bottomless! Thanks Charlie!

Frankie was a great server, quick with the drinks and food even when the bar was super busy

Emily was an our waitress and she was unreal! The vibes from her were unmatched! So much energy cannot even fault!

Frankie was an amazing server, very friendly and attentive!

Charlie was a fab server made sure our drinks were always topped up and generally so lovely thank you 🫶

We had a lovely brunch for my friends birthday. Our server Charlie was exception and was what mate the afternoon. Thank you so much Charlie!!!

Philip was fantastic! Thank you for being so attentive! ❤️

Amazing brunch with a great choice of drinks.. rum and coke is a great addition. Frankie was so helpful. Thank you to him, truly!

Good bottomless brunch! Our waiter, Charlie, was very helpful and friendly!

Great bottomless brunch our sever Charlie was great never had to ask for a drink! Lovely experience really good service great meal would 100% recommend xx

Too service. Quality bottomless brunch.

Came for the Saturday bottomless brunch. Charlie was the most attentive host - made sure we always had a full drink. 10000% would recommend! Such great service. Will be coming again.

Came in for a Saturday bottomless brunch. Drinks were great, service was spot on. Glasses never empty. Lovely food. Feel like we got more than our moneys worth on the bottomless bunch! Highly recommend!

Booked in for bottomless brunch on Saturday, Charlie looked after us and we couldn’t have asked for a more attentive host !! Would highly recommended for anyone and everyone

Charlie was an absolute star, kept us topped up. Thank you xx

Philip was fantastic throughout

A fabulous and well worth the value bottomless brunch, mostly thanks to Charlie our waiter who could not do enough for us. No stingy drinks and great brunch food menu. Charlie was so attentive, friendly and created such a lovely atmosphere for everyone. The food was great. Definitely a bottomless brunch I would visit again

Great cocktails with a great selection of music.

Stopped serving at 21.40 on Thursday night

Martin is an absolute legend!! Food yummy, staff awesome, very accommodating, dog friendly. Came with my friend Helen and the doggo. Good music good vibes. Big love! Definitely coming back

We booked on for a bottomless brunch at 4pm, the table wasn’t ready when we got there however the staff were really friendly and were extremely on it with replacing drinks and Prosecco. They even let us stay past the time to make up for us getting on the table late. MJ was our server and I just want to give her a massive shoutout. All staff looked extremely rushed off their feet as it was very busy but MJ was super enthusiastic and did an amazing job serving us! Couldn’t have asked for a better bottomless, thank you!!

Hannah was the most fantastic waitress I’ve ever had. Her kindness was next level

Hannah was the best hostess ever. So attentive and kind, made our experience 10 times better. A girl who has passion for her job, it’s so refreshing to see. Keep up the good work hannah xxxx

Hannah was the most fantastic waitress ever!! She made this experience amazing.

Em J was a flipping legend. Great service

Was brilliant service and had a great time

The server Evie was honestly great, so accommodating, so polite , would 100% come back

Great day celebrating my birthday. Always felt special and looked after

Evie was absolutely amazing we loved her she was so attentive

We came for a games night, food and drinks. The best part unfortunately was the games and drinks. The food all tasted reheated, overly salty and not the quality and taste that you expect from somewhere with such great reviews. The server would also just plonk the food and drinks down on the table, on top of the games. Massive shame really.

Good coffee and a nice atmosphere. UPDATED - Jan 2025 We decided to give the Foundry Project a go for their bottomless brunch and it was great. Unlike many other venues, you get a 2 hour window, but as they gave us a new bottle of prosecco and beers 2 minutes before the cut off we ended up staying 3 hours, which was great of them. The food was just average, however, despite their food normally being impressive. We all upgraded the bottomless brunch deal from £36 to £39 for more choices and although the chorizo macaroni cheese was enjoyed by two of the party, the other two meals (burger & chicken tenders) were dry and a bit bland. It was incredibly busy though so maybe a bit of leeway should be given. Unlike other venues the unlimited prosecco was nothing like vinegar and went down well. We felt the entire bottomless brunch was good value overall, despite the underwhelming food and we'd definitely go there again as the food is rarely the main star in a bottomless brunch.

Dissapointing. 1. We got told by the waitress on two separate occasions that some people will need to change their mains and others their desserts due to the fact the kitchen doesn't have enough food. We pre ordered over a week in advance. We were told the reason for this lack of preparation was due to lack of communication between staff?? 2. Some food came out cold but other tasted fine. 3. Because the mains took longer than expected (over an hour) we waited patiently for our desserts. Another hour goes by so we asked the staff where our desserts were and their response was that was didn't order any desserts.. this was the same member of staff that came earlier to say some people needs to change their desserts. For this, they give us a few prosecco bottles and 10% discount which we appreciate but overall, not impressed.

Hanna has amazing! So attentive and kind to us, looked after my gluten intolerant friend and kept the drinks coming - great service

Charlie has been fantastic, made my girlfriends 30th special

Charlie was an exceptional host really good.

Charlie was amazing! One of the best servers I have ever had in Manchester!

Overcooked burger, really loud inside and there was a drunk moron at 12pm kicking the doors in the toilets downstairs, would not go back.

Absolutely amazing bottomless brunch for our friend’s 30th birthday!! Frankie was very attentive, made sure our glasses were always full and made sure our visit was amazing!!!🥰

Charlie made our experience so so special for our friends birthday and accommodated our timing so perfectly. He was such a treat to enjoy our time with!!! We ❤️ Charlie!!!!

Frankie was the best server I have ever had in my 31 years on earth. This man is a gem and Foundry Project should protect him at all costs.

We visited the establishment on Boxing Day 2024. Party of 6. 4 members of my family had chicken dishes. 2 family members had vegetarian choices. The 4 people who had chicken were violently ill 3 hours after dinner with the vomiting lasting 9 hours. It was absolutely horrific and ruined our festivities. It took days to recover. Initial communication with the establishment was satisfactory with a report of an investigation being launched with the catering team. Sadly it’s now radio silence with no further feedback. Despite formally chasing up a response. Environmental health also informed or the food poisoning.

Nice atmosphere, average food. We were told midway through our meal that the tables were reserved and told to leave abruptly; had barely finished our meal. Disappointing lack of customer care. Will not be going back and would NOT recommend to others… more considerate and affordable places elsewhere nearby.

Evie was our host today and she was so helpful! Would definitely recommend, Evie’s service was excellent.

Excellent service Evie couldn’t do enough for us. Had a lovely time

Bottomless brunch is one of the best in Manc, and Evie was a fab host/waitress.

Frankie has been so lovely and accommodating to us, so funny and lovely. (deserves a raise honestly) . He gave us shots for the birthday boys and i can’t recommend them enough.

Frankie has been so so amazing! Can’t thank Frankie enough for such a great experience. So friendly and welcoming. We did bottomless brunch never without a drink. Amazing
