I Call Myself Sanchez in Trafford

Very good choice of sandwiches and lunch items on the menu. Had a sausage, egg and bacon sandwich - was delicious

Outstanding experience at Riva, Hale yesterday evening. We travelled from the Liverpool city area to visit with friends and the experience was worth the effort. The specials menu contained beef wellington which I liked the sound of but was a bit reluctant due to concerns of the quality of the meal. How wrong Inwas to have any concerns. The beef wellington was outstandingly good. Perfectly seared fillet of beef, beautiful pastry and a slightly smoked jus served with mash and vegetables. I cannot remember a meal that I have ever enjoyed so much. The depth of flavour and quality and attention to detail of the cooking justified a much higher price than the £40 it actually cost. Once we had finished eating the head chef actually came to chat to ask for my opinion and if I enjoyed the wellington as it was a first as a special. The passion and enthusiasm of the head chef told me everything, he loved what he had produced and told me all about the processes that he uses and how he sources his ingredients which are all locally sourced. Never before have I experienced such passion and enthusiasm and it was such a wonderful experience. Whilst my wellington was outstanding so too were my friends lamb rump and rack of lamb. Great evening in a lovely restaurant with outstandingly talented chef.

What a wonderful place this is. You are made to feel so welcome and it’s always cosy with the most beautiful decor.

Visited here today. Ordered a latte and a couple of “funfetti cupcakes”. The cupcakes were awful to the point that they were both binned; the icing tasted of pure butter, almost as though they’d forgotten the sugar element of buttercream. The girls serving were pleasant to me personally although I did hear them talking negatively about another customer who came in and requested a bagel at 2:15 on a Sunday afternoon. The staff behind the counter talked amongst themselves about how inconvenient it is when people come in and ask for bagels when they are closing soon (3pm). I found this unprofessional and would note that if the cafe is closing at 3pm it isn’t unreasonable to want to order food at 2:15pm.

Amazing service the best I have ever seen!! Forgot to add in some popcorn chicken and it was delivered with a free drink as compensation, didn’t have to do this but this just shows how great the service and the people are who work here, definitely the BEST in Sale!!
