Jenny's Restaurant and Bar in Manchester

It's a difficult place to talk about food... Worst food of my trip to England... Where all the food was left...

We had the buffet in lunch and was very nice and not so expensive at all. It has got wheelchair access toilet as well.

Loved the all you can eat buffet with the family

Came all way from Yorkshire with 3 of my children to be refused as they close to public at 2pm but was 13.45 and not advertised on Web page disgusting service will not come again nor recommend

Food is really bad defently not a buffet I'd go to again I would gibe this place a miss if you want decent food

After being told that the breakfast is £12, I thought 'well, at least it's buffet and I won't have to wait long', but then, after getting my food and drink, I realised that everything was cold and both juices were extremely watered down, even scrambled eggs were swimming in water. Noone has even asked me how was the food, they probably knew it wasn't the best.

Firstly, it was really hard to find the entrance. It is on the other side of the building from what Google Maps indicates and the door was closed. The only way in was through the Hotel. The setting feels old and cold, not very welcoming. With a little touch it could actually become a nice vintage restaurant, Titanic-style. There is a lovely lady that welcomes you and makes you pay first, then she serves the soup, clears the tables and takes away the empty trays from the buffet. The breaded cod was delicious, fresh and crunchy. I also appreciated the tomato soup, the chicken and the vegetarian option which was filo pastry pie with lentils. While these were very good, the potatoes and the broccoli and cauliflower were surprisingly bad, hard to swallow. The gravy, the peas and the garlic bread were average good. I didn't even taste the lasagna and the cakes as they looked really dry and old. The strength of this experience is probably the price, 8.50£ per person all you can eat buffet, the only drink included is water. I believe this place has great potential but suffers of the connection with the hotel above it.

Dry and cold carvery, weird staff. Made me pay as soon as I arrived. Go to jenny's restaurant if you want to regret life.

A pesar de que he hecho críticas anteriores de este restaurante en el pasado y en mi última crítica, me despedí de Jennies, ya que la elección de comida había cambiado considerablemente. Dije que nunca volveríamos a visitar a Jennys, pero ayer visitamos solo para ver si la elección de alimentos había mejorado desde el año pasado. Cuando llegamos a las 12. 45 pm a mitad de su período de almuerzo, no había clientes en el restaurante. El personal me dijo la semana pasada que el pescado en el pan rallado lo que me gusta comer definitivamente estaría hoy, pero descubrí que era la misma comida que la semana anterior. Tortas de pescado picantes que son demasiado calientes para tolerar y duras y son asquerosas. El mismo asado que todas las semanas que era carne de cerdo, y parecen pensar que todos son amantes de la carne de cerdo, pero no tienen en cuenta a las personas que pueden ser alérgicas a ella. Me di cuenta de que un trozo de carne de res esta vez acababa de salir de la cocina cuando iba al restaurante, pero parecía bastante difícil como si hubiera sido un corte barato, y la carne de res en este restaurante es algo raro que apenas Alguna vez has visto. De lo contrario, es el declive habitual. Este restaurante se ha ido al banco desde que Jennys contrató a un chef extranjero el año pasado y cuando le preguntas algo o presentas una queja, ella simplemente se ríe de tu cara como un insulto.Ayer, cuando entramos en Jennys, le pregunté al personal si me harían un pescado en pan rallado y me hubiera quedado muy satisfecho con eso. Cuando pregunté en el pasado, siempre fueron muy serviciales y me hicieron uno para mi comida. Recientemente, son de poca ayuda y me rechazan. Cuando íbamos a sentarnos en una mesa, un chef salió de la cocina y me insultó. Dijo que si no estábamos satisfechos con la comida que se ofrecía, VAYA A OTRA PARTE Y COMA, ASÍ QUE LO HICIMOS. Su actitud era repugnante y era muy desagradable. Nos fuimos inmediatamente porque estaba molesto por haber sido insultado por ese chef. Hablar de la manera en que me lo hizo NO era aceptable para un Proffesinal hotel y restaurante, cuando todo lo que pedí fue un pescado en pan rallado. Si hubiera estado trabajando para mí, le habría despedido instantáneamente.Me di cuenta de que el restaurante no tenía a nadie en la mitad del período del almuerzo. El personal parado sobre no hacer nada. Solíamos ser clientes habituales aquí, y hemos visto este restaurante lleno, pero ya no. ¿Esto no dice algo sobre la elección de la comida?Me quejé al gerente general sobre nuestro episodio con el chef, pero obviamente, esta queja aún no ha llegado a una conclusión, ya que he escrito al hotel Briannia para pedirle una disculpa completa y continuaré con este problema hasta que la gerencia Reconozca que tienen un problema en su restaurante.Mi consejo es que no comas aquí. Estarás decepcionado. Ya no hay atmósfera.Si pudiera darle a Jennys un 0 para calificar, lo haría.

popped in on the off chance ok i agree not much choice but 3 courses for £7.50 as much as you want you cannot argue with that must say well impressed

Hice una revisión en este restaurante el mes pasado y mencioné que la elección de alimentos se había reducido a un asado que siempre parece ser carne de cerdo, y no todos pueden tolerar la carne de cerdo, especialmente con alergias a la carne de cerdo. . Otras ofrendas han cambiado a descuidado y el pescado empanizado, que era solo la mejor alternativa para mí, ahora ya nunca lo veo, pero normalmente cuando lo hago, normalmente me hacen uno. En los últimos meses hemos visitado aquí regularmente y ha sido la misma comida basura que antes. La nueva chef que se hizo cargo de este restaurante incluso se niega a hacerme una alternativa. Los anteriores chefs fueron muy atentos. Hemos visitado este restaurante cada pocas semanas durante años, incluso dos veces en Navidad, pero en los últimos meses la elección de alimentos y los estándares han bajado considerablemente. Siempre he dado excelentes críticas sobre Jenny's, pero en los últimos meses todo ha cambiado. Desde el punto de vista mío y de mis amigos, echa un vistazo a este restaurante. En lugar de un pulgar hacia arriba de nosotros, como siempre ha sido, ahora es un gran pulgar hacia abajo. Hemos tratado de decirle al personal y a la gerencia las razones de nuestra decepción, y que también sus clientes también parecen estar recibiendo menos, simplemente nos ignoran. Le dimos a Jenny's una excelente reputación al 100%, pero como este nuevo chef se hizo cargo, está perdiendo rápidamente esa reputación. Es una verdadera lástima, porque la elección de los alimentos solía ser muy buena entre una variedad de asados, y nada era demasiado problema para el personal y los chefs, pero la nueva chef parece haber cambiado todo e incluso el personal anterior. Han dejado. Si la gerencia no toma nota de las quejas de los clientes, entonces avergüéncete, Jenny's. Acaba de perder dos clientes dedicados de larga data. Llevábamos tanto tiempo en su restaurante, nos sentimos parte de los accesorios y accesorios, pero ya no. Parece que ahora a nadie le importa. En esta última ocasión que visitamos hace unos días, terminamos nuestra visita con una voz elevada y nos negamos a comer aquí y nos fuimos a otro lado. Solíamos esperar comer un Jenny's, era una delicia, y ahora es como perder a un buen amigo. Hasta luego Jenny's.

Estábamos celebrando la próxima boda de un amigo con una comida para doce de nosotros. Habíamos reservado una mesa para las 6:30 pm y al llegar un poco antes, el personal fue muy servicial mientras esperamos.El restaurante estaba bastante ocupado con los comensales, no es sorprendente ya que la comida era un precio fijo 8. 95 para una comida de tres platos.Por supuesto, obtienes lo que pagas, y todo es autoservicio del buffet. Hay una opción de sopa o ensalada para empezar (no es una gran opción de ensalada), en esta noche el plato principal era carne o abadejo. Elegí el pescado y había una variedad de verduras mixtas o brócoli y zanahoria, con papas hervidas o croquetas y espaguetis.Había una selección de un par de pasteles de queso y postres de chocolate.No fue la mejor comida que he tenido, y no es un lugar al que irías a salir por la noche, pero tiene una excelente relación calidad-precio.

Just called in for something to eat about tea time. The restaurant was closed, but they were serving Pizza in the bar area which was delicious, good size, and reasonably priced.

Hola, recientemente he vuelto a casa de Jenny para almorzar el miércoles pasado. No fue por un tiempo, pero nos sorprendió descubrir que esta vez habían reducido considerablemente la elección de alimentos. Los asados que han recortado. Cuando empezamos a almorzar en casa de Jenny, solían elegir entre tres articulaciones, luego, con el tiempo, se reducían a dos, y ahora es una. Cuando visitamos recientemente, me decepcionó descubrir que se trataba de carne de cerdo, que desafortunadamente no podía tener debido a una alergia a la carne de cerdo. El pescado que normalmente me gusta es generalmente empanizado y bien cocinado y crujiente, pero no tenían en el menú. No tenía otra alternativa que tener alitas de pollo, pero eran terribles, ya que la comida era una completa pérdida de dinero. Era un plato de huesos, pero no pollo. Asqueroso. Este no es el alimento usual que jenny solía servir. mi amigo y yo hemos estado yendo a Jenny's durante años para el almuerzo y la Navidad, pero con el tiempo, hemos visto que la elección de la comida es cada vez menor junto con los cambios de personal. Normalmente, el chef me haría un pescado en pan rallado cuando no hay otra disponibilidad para mí, pero esta vez, y la primera vez que me rechazó una alternativa, después de todos los años que les hemos dado negocios. Cuando normalmente visitamos Jenny, el restaurante normalmente está ocupado, pero notamos que esta vez los clientes han disminuido y se han reducido. No había casi nadie en el restaurante. Quizás otros clientes también estén insatisfechos con la elección de los alimentos. Hablé con el chef mientras estábamos allí, y dejé en claro que éramos buenos clientes pasados y presentes y le comentamos nuestra decepción, pero nos ignoraron con una carcajada, como si no les importara. Con esta actitud, nos quejamos con la gerencia y les dijimos que es posible que no regresemos en el futuro para almuerzos o Navidades, ya que la calidad y la elección de los alimentos está disminuyendo rápidamente. Prometimos volver a llamar dentro de un mes, para ver si han hecho cambios en el menú, y si no, no vamos más ni en Navidad.Si le gusta el cerdo, que así sea, pero venga con Jenny's, dé una pequeña elección como antes, como pescado empanado y una variedad de asados, por ejemplo: pollo / ternera / pavo. No todos pueden tolerar la carne de cerdo. También notamos que los desiertos también habían sido recortados y no eran tan apetitosos. En lo que respecta a la Navidad, no sabemos a Jenny, si podemos confiar en usted en la comida y tampoco es barata en Navidad. A menos que empieces a dar más opciones sobre la comida que sirves, entonces nos despedimos. Una pérdida de dos clientes más de larga data.

un montón de críticos descontentos aquí, pero ¿qué esperas de una comida de 3 platos para 7. 50 en el centro de Manchester, donde hoy en día el almuerzo de negocios promedio cuesta 15. Barato y alegre, sopa al comienzo, un asador (es cierto que no era tan bueno como hace 10 años, pero nuevamente: 7. 50 por 3 platos en una gran ciudad, ¿qué esperas?) La opción vegetariana era la seta stroganoff y la opción de postre de 3 preciosos tortas y ensalada de frutas. El personal es mucho más amable que mi última visita. Sin duda volveremos ya que su presupuesto es amigable.

Nunca he experimentado un desayuno como este antes! ! ¿Cómo pueden las personas salirse con la suya con el servicio desagradable que no es apropiado para una comida para perros? ? ! Debería avergonzarse de sí mismo por servir tan horribles y pasados viernes, carnes cocinadas y un entorno horrible con café de agua de pescado, nunca volveré y me aseguraré de que todos sepan la desgracia que es este lugar. Ni siquiera le daría un 1 *Que broma

Well, time for another review on Jenny's restaurant and bar.We go here quite regular and twice at Christmas for the festive lunch. This year was the same as last year. The food was great. Nicely set table, Sherry to start with, followed by the usual soup and bread roll, then a lovely turkey dinner followed by the lovely Christmas pudding and custard. Plenty of everything and the service was impeccable, first class. No complaints on anything there. Well done to the chefs. Three cheers to you.Also a big thank you to all the restaurant staff for their hard work too.The only problem this time is the entertainment program. The usual man who does the disco was not available this year, so the man who was doing the entertainment this year was actually terrible in our view. One, he was way to loud and could not sing. In fact he was not singing, he was shouting down the microphone and it was deafening. He was no-where near as good as the previous entertainer. There was not really any Christmas music except an odd one, and he was sometimes out of tune with that. It was supposed to be a Christmas party, but it really did not feel that way. This was on both occasions that we went this Christmas.We really could not wait to get out of the restaurant, to get away from the excessive noise. I did ask the entertainer at the start of lunch if he would balance the speakers so that the noise was not excessive, but as the lunch went on he must have increased it. Terrible. After going here for festive lunches for several years now, we may have to think twice next year before we go again, as if the entertainer is the same person again, we will have to give it a miss. We think that the only ones enjoying this entertainer were those who were drunk or merry, in which case, they would not care about the entertainment. Over all, it did not have a Christmas atmosphere to the lunch. So Jenny's, if you are reading this, Please change this years entertainer to the original entertainer, or lose our business. It was truly spoilt by this years entertainer.

Buffet style - arrived mid afternoon and the Sunday carvery looked lovely ....so was looking forward to this for evening meal - but we got - usual carvery vegetables but meat was mixed pork and beef in a casserole style dish !!

Should have known not to bother when the restaurant was empty at 8.15pm. Food was disgusting, my son had boiled potatoes & wedges, as not really much choice for kids. The wedges looked like they had been sat there all night & the potatoes were rock hard. Gammon was not much better, had to dig slices from the bottom as everything on top had dried up. Desert, well what can I say, non existant. Cheese cake, some other undescribable cake & what looked like tinned fruit. Cheese cake was warm, the other, god knows what it was but tasted disgusting. Waited ages for a drink, while they allegedly changed the pump, only to be told they now have a problem with the San Migel & was offered an alternative. Best is when u go to pay, wait again forever while they get their card machine up & running, to be then asked to pay cash as they have a problem with the card reader. Waitress asked if everything was ok, told her yes & paid cash. WILL NEVER BE GOING BACK. AVOID AT ALL COST, save your money

Dried out carvery for dinner service, and equally dried out buffet breakfast. could have been the staff canteen by the numbers of staff eating in there

Hotel: Britannia Hotel Manchester

Helpful,friendly staff in this hotel restaurant that can be accessed from the main street. A good choice is offered on the value for money three course deal.

The reviews already describing the low quality food, staffing and facilities are not far wrong. In serious need of modernising on all accounts!

Visited here on Sunday with my partner and 3 friends. We asked for a pot of tea for five and were given five bowls of soup with cheap supermarket "value" sliced white and brown bread. We asked for the tea again and a large coffee pot arrived together with 5 mugs with teaspoons in and two small jugs of milk. There was only TWO tea bags in the pot so it was unsinkable. Water had to be self served from a juice machine that had no juice in it.

Visitamos el Jenny's como notamos los Billboard calle, publicidad un asador, 3 campos por £9. 95. Ahora, no estoy esperando algo excepcional aquí y sin duda no conseguir eso. El primer campo era sopa o ensalada. Me pareció que la camarera dijo "Sopa de patata" que elegimos, pero 'sopa de tomate 'llegamos. Leve, pero no es un problema de comunicaciones en un gran problema. No hay variedad de pan o bollos - sólo 1 / 2 una porción de la economía de supermercado" blanco de pan rebanado y una envoltura de mantequilla.

Stayed here November 2017 for my birthday were I was presented with a free bottle of champagne & a bottle of wine. Lovely choice of food served by friendly staff.

No puedo decir que el servicio era increíble o bien organizado, pero hizo el trabajo. Tenía un asado los domingos. Patatas, carne asada, carne de cerdo, todo era genial. Las verduras estaban un poco blandas, pero me gusta, y fue la última cosa por la noche, alrededor de las 8 de la tarde. (cierran 9, al menos en domingo). Yorkshires iban rancio, pero de nuevo, la última cosa por la noche.

Я выбрала традиционный английский завтрак - яйца, бекон, тосты. Все горячее, вкусное. Хорошие круассаны. Кофе средненький

Very low quality buffet, not recommended

Awful, greasy, disgusting. It is a joke that even uses the term "restaurant"! Stay away. The smell alone from the place will make you feel sick.

Buffet Dinner, awful, cold, soggy & tasteless. Chef needs to smarten up and be more friendly. Breakfast was much better, good choice. Coffee was awful. Different Chef, smart & friendly. Cannot fault the other staff that were on duty.

Went here with friends - in addition to our meals we asked for a pizza garlic bread to share. After the lovely waitress who looked very embarrassed had investigated she Told us we would have to have a margarita pizza as they had no garlic in the kitchen!! We asked how they would make our meals then as most would need garlic, we were informed that all food is batch cooked on a Monday and reheated by microwave for the week!!!

Food was beautifully cooked, plenty of choice and staff were friendly and efficient. Recommend to anyone

Jenny's is clean, well managed, great staff, the food is simple, though very eatable,presented well,

Don't. Just don't go. Probably the worst breakfast I've ever had. Awful food, dingy surroundings and dis interested staff.

Staff seemed friendly but disorganised.. Carvery a big disappointment no real veg option other than frozen mixed veg.. in fact nothing was fresh at all even the fruit looked like it came out of a tin.. looks like the place has poor leadership and nobody cares. On the lower deck there are Christmas decorations up in august..

Went here with some friends and family was supposed to be having the carvery but when we went up to get our food was told only gammon left and to be honest it looked like it had been sat there a week we paid for our drinks and left won't be going again.

Mi amigo y yo hemos sido clientes habituales aquí en el Jenny's hace ya varios años, casi dos veces al mes, y siempre ha estado satisfecho con el servicio y la comida, pero en visitas recientes de tarde nos hemos dado cuenta de que este restaurante ha reducido la selección asados de carnes.

Fuimos a una "oferta" 2 x asados platos y una botella de vino de la casa de £19. 00. . . . El lugar olía a "col" cuando llegamos, era oscuro y poco atractiva. . . . . . . . . nos dijeron que podíamos sentarnos en cualquier lugar. . . . . . Después elegir un sitio donde sentarse y nos preguntaron si nos se mueva. . . . (no) mala comida y no un servicio muy cálido no es bueno. . No es suficiente. Las placas de gran el asador. . . . . . . No atención al cliente o un servicio decente en general bastante pobre. . . . La única cosa buena era el vino tinto (era un lugar para ser decente) caminamos. . . . nunca vuelven. . . . . . . . . Guarde su dinero.

Visitamos allí el domingo pasado para la cena del domingo el domingo especial una cena de 3 platos por £8. 50 por cabeza, no está mal. Mi único problema para mí es que creo que las placas podrían ser un poco más grandes. De pie en el personal es muy servicial y amable que me cuidaron los cuatro de principio a fin y la comida fueron muy bien como he dicho si las placas donde sólo un poco más grande que hubiera me llenó más en general yo diría que relación calidad-precio y vale la pena una visita

Tomamos el desayuno y era pobre, cruasanes rancios, fruta enlatada, champiñones cocidos como parte de la RFY, té y café de puchero templado en máquinas bomba

Como cenamos con una oferta de cena de 3 platos y botella de vino incluida en una estancia de una noche, las opciones disponibles eran limitados, pero por el precio general de 75 libras. 00 no nos podemos quejar de nada.

El siempre caliente, con mucha variedad, servicio de buffet, así que ten cuidado las calorías. La noche y el desayuno con mucha variedad, además de opciones vegetarianas.

Visitamos este lugar como parte de un grupo. Al llegar me pareció muy confuso, ya que si hay acceso a personas de movilidad reducida. Después de estar en el frío durante 20 minutos mientras decidieron nos las arreglamos para ayudar a los discapacitados de la zona de comedor. El personal era servicial, pero no fluido en todas en inglés así que no tenía idea de lo que queríamos, o al final sólo se encogió y dejaron a la por así decirlo. La comida estaba congelado de verduras mixtas climatizada un poco de ensalada y una selección de carne. Los postres eran dificultarse las ofertas del supermercado. Te dicen que te dan lo que pagas y en verdad. . . . No volveremos y realmente dejar que la reputación y prestigio de Brittania Hotel.

GPB 6.50 they have a reasonably good buffet, staff very polite, there is choice of Soup, Salad and fish/meat + desert

Visited this place on and off for 10 years. Latest update from me- soup excellent, dessert excellent, main course and presentation average. The idea of a carvery is someone carves the meat- this was some identifiable pinkish meat lounging in some gravy (im veggie and even for me this looked wrong) normally with the meat they used to serve yorkshire puddings and stuffing- none around. I went to help myself to the veggie offerings but despite having been open an hour, the ladles and tongs to grab the food still hadnt been set up. Veg was a pasta bake which was ok as were the boiled potatoes,greens consisted of frozen cheapo ones and the roast potatoes werent proper roasts but looked like leftover baked potatoes thrown in some fat. Big problem is most of the staff are Eastern Euro so dont really have a clue how a British carvery should look and taste (10 years ago when the staff were mainly brits and western euro was amazing and professional) and they were struggling understanding requests from customers. When my mum said she didnt enjoy her meal the girl just laughed and didnt request further feedback.

Also part of the Britannia hotel,stayed two nights on half board and had no complaints, food although not a great choice was well prepared and hot.if you are passing the prices seemed very reasonable .

Decent enough food if you want a plain carvery type meal at a reasonable price in the city centre area ,also they do a good all you can eat breakfast .

The food was over cooked and looked like it was last weeks left overs. Buffet style . All the food looked like it had been left out for days, no taste a d over cooked. The staff were disinterested in looking after the guests. The restaurant itself was dull and shabby.

dinner and breakfast was included in our package and was value for money. Staff in the restaurant were polite and accommadating.Would visit again

Enjoyed the interesting carvery buffet at £6.95 per person. Good soups and salads to compliment the meal. The desserts were delectable and colourful.

to me the dining area is small compared to the size of this hotel ideally tried to avoid the peak times, good selection of food at all meals.

Been going here on and off for 10 years and after my last disappointing visit in 2013 or 14, it was time to give it another go. Lunch was only £6.50 and while it wasnt back to its 2006 best, it was still deserving of a 4 star and my only complaint is lack of ventilation in the restaurant (air con wasnt on despite it being 27 degrees and even when ive been at xmas its unbearably hot). Nice tomato soup to start followed by ratatouille, yorkshire puds, spuds n veg with black forest gateau to finish. Ill definitely come back

My partner and I decided to pop in for lunch today having seen the pizzeria signs plastered along the side of the hotel along Portland Street advertising a lunch pizza deal with free garlic bread from 12-3pm.We at first missed the sign to the pizzeria to the left and instead stumbled into Jenny's Restaurant. It seemed moderately busy with a self service flow. We waited at the 'wait to be seated' sign however no one promptly greeted us and after a minute or so we left the room to check we were in the right place.Upon realising our error we went through to a deserted but open-doored and unattended pizzeria just after 1pm. We were sat down for a good few minutes but noone came to welcome us, in fact, there were no staff in sight. A woman that looked like a server later came through from the kitchen and gave us a funny look as she went out another door and we realised why later when my partner called in to the kitchen to grab someone's attention only to eventually be told that the pizzeria only opens at 4pm. The lady could have informed us!After sitting around like lemons we just left so I can't comment on the look or taste of the food. The pizzeria had good decor (dark, so perhaps not to all tastes) but the lack of attentive staff and blatant false advertising has really frustrated me.

Went there yesterday for a carvery lunch in Jenny's bar. We were a party of 12. We paid £6.00 each for a 3 course carvery. Starter was tomato soup or a choice from the salad bar. Main was a choice of chicken pie, roast ham or breaded fish, desserts were various cakes, lemon tart or fruit salad. The bar staff and the restaurant staff were efficient and friendly. The restaurant was not too noisy. A great place to meet friends. I did not give it 5 stars because the choice of meat was limited, my coke zero at £2.20 was pricy and the place was really hot! I'll certainly go again.

Popped into Jennys and we were impressed with the cost, service and food. Its a carvery and you have the option of having a starter and or dessert. As I was with my 'starving' sons they had all that was on offer. The staff were helpful and pleasant, we were not rushed.

The restaurant is also the serve yourself breakfast area, so although the atmosphere is average, we really enjoyed the meal we had there. The staff were pleasant and courteous.

I have to say after a very heavy night at the stone roses concert my husband and myself were looking forward to our breakfast in the morning! We were welcomed by friendly staff and were told to find a seat, I went to get myself some toast where I found a large tray of pre cooked toast which looked like it had been there a while, the sausage was burnt the bacon was unsure if it was cooked or burnt, the beans looked like they had been there all morning and had been sat there to for a long time. But the most shocking part of it all was that while I was still eating my breakfast my plate was taken away from me! Let's just say we quickly left after that, the restaurant was not even busy so there was no reason to feel like we needed to be rushed! I am very happy that the breakfast was included in the cost of our stay. Definitely would not recommend

Hubby had pasta carbonara and as they say too often on master chef needs more seasoning. I had panini with salad garnish and fries. Salad garnish was basically lettuce and red onion a bit of tomato wouldn't have gone amiss

Only had Sunday carvery, big meat portions, very tasty, soup or salad to start, salad good, cake/tarts fruit and cream cheese and crackers, very good

Really good selection of hot and cold dishes. The salad start is amazing - an enormous cold salmon is centre stage. The staff are really good

My two sons and I went for Breakfast and wish we hadn't bothered it was the worst and driest bacon and Black pudding we have ever had.The toast was burnt and the place only had about fifteen tables in. I would heat to see the place full. I spoke to a member of staff that replaced the Black pudding for on that wasn't cooked omg it was getting worse. I spoke to a manger and told him and he said he would let the kitchen know and then walked off never to be seen again. When speaking to the manager I said your trip advisor reviews must be bad but he convinced me that they had no complaints. Never ever again. Burger King next door we ended up in spending money again but at least it was worth the money and prepared us for our long flight ahead.

Today we had our Pensioners Spring lunch at Jenny's. Choice of soup or salad bar for a starter. There was a choice of roast pork or chicken (or both), there is a selection of potatoes, vegetables, fish or Pasta which you can help yourselves to. There is then a selection of sweets or cheese and biscuits.

We had been wandering around Manchester looking for somewhere cheap for lunch. It was a Sunday and we came across the sign 3 course carvery for £6.95....thought we would give it a go....pleasantly surprised...my partner had the soup he said it was okay, although he didn't know what flavour it was and neither did the waiter. I had the salad with salmon and I was more than pleased. The carvery was basic...Two meat beef & turkey but it was carved thick and was very good, Yorkshire puds, boiled & roast potatoes ( although no mash & for me that's usually a deal breaker on a carvery but you remind yourself it's a £6.95 3 course carvery! !) Three veg sauces and gravy then a fab choice of deserts...overall it's pretty good value ... only down side was we were taken to our table and almost abandoned I'm presuming there were a lot of regulars in there and we had to keep asking what to do ...we had to ask about drinks ..It was our waiters first day so he didn't know either so it was all a bit confusing. I'd visit again especially with my daughters.

My friend and I are already regular customers here at Jennys restaurant and have been now for a few years. I love doing a review on this restaurant from time to time to let other restaurant seekers know that this is a great place to eat. See my other reviews for more details.Atmosphere: Spot onStaff: Spot onChefs: Spot onFood: Excellent Spot onService: Immediate Spot onValue for money 3 course lunch £6.50 Spot on. Bargain.My friend and I will always be your regular dedicated customers, So keep up that fantastic atmosphere and excellent service in your restaurant. Three cheers to you all.Ken and peter.

Eaten here 3 times over the last couple of weeks. It is great value for money, £6.50 or £6 for pensioners. Each time the soup has been piping hot & delicious, this is served with a huge wedge of bread and butter. Every time I have been they have had a whole salmon with various salad. When I have been on a Saturday it has been a 2 meat carvery plus fish, but today it was gammon carvery,boneless chicken breast in a mushroom sauce or curry served with new and roast potatoes and plenty of veg. There has always been a choice of 3 different desserts or fruit salad, plus there has always been melon and fresh oranges, cheese and biscuits served with grapes. They have also had a bottle of wine on offer for £6.95. The food each time has been good and the head waiter is so very polite. Service too is very good.

I have been a few times with my husband for lunch at Jenny’s Restaurant when we are having a day out in Manchester. It is very reasonably priced at £6.50 for three courses or £6 for Seniors, which we are. You can have soup or a selection of salads for starters and we had the salad which included fresh salmon. We then had pork which was carved by the waiter as the chef had gone into the kitchen, but we found it was a bit too thick which made it rather dry to eat, but there was a selection of vegetables and roast potatoes to help yourself to. There were some nice cakes and cheese and biscuits. While not a meal to rave over, it was OK and very good value.

Eat as much or as little as you want. The buffet is full of goodies freshly cooked. For the money you can't go wrong. Service impeccable. Thanks

Had dinner here - carvery ?? if you could call it that, cold, bland, tasteless meal not worth the £9.99 price tag, rude staff, horrible not clean place. Also had breakfast the next day, not impressed with that either, not sure how this place is still open to be honest, they can't be making a profit, staff were more interested in eating their own breakfast / meals than anything else

Went in here for a family meal and ordered the combo starter to share. It turned up and was edible, but very over cooked to the point of some of it being burnt. Didn't say anything as was edible and we had pizzas ordered. My pizza arrived and was not only burnt to a crisp, but was also cold! The other two pizzas appeared fine. I complained and had the price of the pizza deducted from the bill. Can't say I would recommend this place.

I visit Jennys restaurant every month with my friend.The staff are always pleasant and pleased to see us.The buffet is only 6 pounds for pensioners and 6.50 for others.I am always satisfied with the restaurant.It is always clean and the food is well worth the money.The waiters and waitresses work very hard.

The meal was great with lots of New chef carving meat, carvery. Worth every penny if it wasn't for the rude staff when we got there. A woman told us that t weren't open till 6.30 when we talked into room. The leaflet said 6.00. We went back at 6.30 in the meal. My friend questioned her. People came in after us and she let them through. I asked why she didn't ask if we were staying in the hotel our room number or anything. Why did she want payment up fronnt and assume I was paying for both meals. She looked me in the face and said because ,' some people eat and don't pay.' I sled about prepayment for breakfast but she brushed me off denying knowledge of procedures. When I got my meal I asked a few people about payment for meals. No one else was asked for payment. I asked the deputy manager who apologised and offered us anything from the bar. I tried to enjoy my meal but was so upset I almost choked. The next day we were told by the manager that the rude staff was going to be disciplined. We accepted apologies and I got a refund. We also had a free lunch because my friend had an accident I'm the bathroom. The showerhead fell on her head. See review for Brittania Hotel.

I love this restaurant good food good atmosphere and good value visit quite often with friends also visit the branch in Brighton at the Royal Albion hotel spending my birthday there in Jan 2016 for 5 days xxx. Ste

The hotel and this place share the same level of quality, that would be none what so ever, the place is the size of a football pitch so it must get a lot of people in there at some point but as to why anyone would ever go twice remains a mystery.

Had a drink in Jenny's bar whilst visiting a friend staying in the hotel. It is a grubby, underground hole. When I went up to the bar to order a drink, the barman just stared at me - no 'Hello' or What can I get you?' - very uncomfortable. The place has a dirty feel about it. Must be amongst the worst bars in Manchester - definitely won't be returning.

All you can eat,delicous.all freshly cooked and plenty of it, lovely deserts and fantastic cheeses,look out for the cashel blue, it was divine.

Used as part of my Groupon stay in the Brittania Hotel. Adequate place without being over the top or expensive.Breakfast quite acceptable but the coffee and tea are cheap and vile.Paid for a 3 course carvery lunch at £6.50 a head, got to be the best deal in Manchester and to be truthful I really enjoyed it.Staff were all from EU except the guy carving the meat but were all friendly and efficient.If you don't want to spend a lot or go far from the Hotel and want a traditional english meal then this is for you.

Wasn't happy with the pizza. But the breakfast was fantastic. All you can eat buffet. The waiters ar attentive and polite. Can get a bet busy though,

A carvery to me means a selection of freshly roasted meats with Yorkshire pudding mashed potatoes gravy and veg. This place had beef in gravy and liver with onions or place with the skin on (err) I like fish but not with the skin on, there is no Yorkshire pudding or mashed potatoes only roast potatoes which tasted frozen and heated the left on the warmer. All desserts were just frozen the left to defrost, the cream was more like milk. The soup was nice though, but overall disappointing. I hope they read this review and try to make it a carvery which is what people expect.

Good value for money .3 courses for £6.00 nothing fancy just good wholesome food.home made soup ,choice of pork.cottage pie.or fish. Good choice of vegetables.and choice of sweets.Very pleasant staff good service and very clean.

Used this so called carvery as part of a Groupon deal whilst staying at the (also terrible) Britannia Hotel (feb 2015).I am sure that there is no health, safety or hygiene being put in place. Cross contamination was evident (don't even attempt if you are vegetarian or have other dietary requirements).The food was all of mass produced frozen bad quality. Very little choice for an advertised carvery menu (should be £9.95 each). Looked dry, tasted horrid and although lots of staff on, very little attention paid to the customers.There was a bottle of wine thrown in....and it was needed! Overall, the management needs to clearly look at this place as we also (grudgingly) had the buffet breakfast in the morning, which was also shocking! Frazzled, stuck together, fatty, cross contaminated...so horrendous if you have allergies and overall grubby looking...I observed one lady whom asked for muesli be passed to 4 different waiters then a chef... Hahah a chef for muesli....and then a waiter brought out 3 single serve sachets and poured them into the muesli dispenser (this highly amused me and the lady in question) even the coffe was of a dreadfully poor standard and the apple juice had a froth on it!My advice would be to go to a whetherspoons.... As the breakfast should also be £9.95 each...AVOID! I do have photos....but I dare not upload them, you'd possibly vomit!

Agreed the meal was ample, and the price was low, but we found the experience was a bit sad. We had no feeling of a good evening, just,"Get your food and go."

A "cold" hot buffet breakfast, Major Cross contamination issues, never before have i had a undercooked poached egg, with the white bit raw

Hello to all you fellow restaurant seekers. Firstly, everyone has the right to their own opinions in regard to a restaurant, but I notice some reviews are faulting the food here.I have reviewed this restaurant now several times and I visit along with a friend on a weekly / fortnightly basis for lunch, and we have been doing now for a couple of years, and the food and staff are excellent.There is usually a carvery at lunch time, and a chef on hand to carve. There is always a selection of meats including fish to suit ones taste. The wine is not expensive. You can get a bottle of house wine, white / red or rose for £6.95 and I have never had a cold meal on either course.The atmosphere of the restaurant is always of high standard, same with the food. The staff plus management are very attentive as always and ready to serve straight away. We have never been kept waiting on any occasion.Personally, we think that Jenny's restaurant on Portland street, Manchester should be given an award for excellence. The chefs are the best we have ever known. The food is of top standards and is cooked to perfection.The chefs never seem to get cheered, so we are sending 3 cheers to the chefs and the restaurant staff, especially after the Christmas festive lunches. They were fantastic. Hip hip. WELL DONE TO ALL, and we will still come to your restaurant as always.Are people going to the correct restaurant?. There are two jenny's, not connected.

The title says it all. The food is plentiful and fantastic. It was all cooked to perfection, hot and so tasty

Called in at jennys last saturday lunch time with my grandson started off with soup which was ok then had the cavery choice of two meats turkey and gammon the turkey was very dry and the gammon was more fat than meat the veg was cold and tastless we then tried the sweets the apple pie was ok but the gateau was bland the cream tasted sour i had a pint of tetleys bitter i had a taste but it was sour we will not be visiting jennys again.

The "carvery" had a choice of two meats chicken or beef. Not carved by a chef but laid in trays and covered with tasteless gravy. Vegetables were either under or over cooked and the waiting staff were not attentive. I asked for a receipt for my drinks as I have to claim separately with my company for these. This was a major problem it seemed and the maitre D tutted and rolled his eyes skywards while he arranged for a receipt to be printed from a till. The place is very unwelcoming at dinner time and little better for breakfast. The breakfast staff were at least a little happier. Perversely, if you order food at the reception you get a discount of close to 30%. Avoid for dinner, better restaurants nearby. Unavoidable for breakfast, to which the reception discount applies too, but that was the better meal.

i did not enjoy the evening meal at all. Tinned fruit salad is not really a good idea to serve, as it gives a bad impression of the standard of cooking. The breakfast was a bit better.

The breakfast buffet was OK, the evening meal the worst I have had since I was at school. The restaurant was empty and we were the only two eating in, we wondered why until we saw the dried up meat, overcooked veg, rock hard roast potatoes and dried out croquet potatoes and the grey tasteless fish. Also the desserts whilst looking appetising were bland.

luved staircase and huge chandalier will be brill with bit painting and some new carpets in places took plenty photos ov staircase and lights recomend to any one

Hot and cold buffet food. A good choice on the menu. Staff are friendly and efficient. Would recommend.

As part of an organised 2 night stay tour, we didn't expect 5 star nor did we get it. Same menu was served both nights with only 2 choices of meat, beef (minced!) On day 1 and 'gammon' on day 2, very limited salad bar and tinned fruit salad of which there was very little! Breakfast wsd slightly better but overcooked bacon.

Handy place to dine but preferred round about. Normal hotel menu, food standard. Buffet style breakfast and dinner. Did see 2 groups going for seconds at no extra cost. Lol.

I have been coming here since 2005 and it used to be fabulous- good value for money, fresh veg, excellent cuts of meat (im veggie but whoever was eating with me said the beef was top notch), lovely desserts etc. However, I went here last night and what a disgrace. It was stifling hot inside, the butter on the table had completely melted, how hygienic. The soup was still decent quality to start but the main course was a shambles. The meat isn't technically a carvery anymore but what looked like frozen beef and turkey slices from Heron Foods or somewhere languishing in gravy, the veggie option was a grim pasta bake with chickpeas and some cheese on top, bit like a school cookery project and the fish had been replaced by scampi. The once fresh veg was a mix of frozen carrots and corn together (Gordon Ramsay and Alex Polizzi would have a field day) and another enticing option was a few florets of broccoli mixed with peas and frozen carrots. The roast potatoes tasted fried to death and heavily seasoned, Yorkshire puds were tasty though and the croquettes were a grim replacement for the fresh cauli and boiled potatoes they used to have. Dessert consisted of fruit cocktail and melon(these were ok) Christmas cake (IN MAY) two dry looking cakes and the piece de resistance, individual trifles which look like the ones you get 10 for £1 from Iceland. Worryingly, these were warm and the cream starting to taste sour, I think food standards would be interested in this considering Britannia's other establishments in Southport have already been 'done' by them. I am sad to see this carvery's decline as I always recommended it to friends.

HI Everyone,Well, what can I say.This is now my second review on Jennys restaurant. Best in Manchester.My friend and I visit this restaurant sometimes weekly, sometimes fortnightly and on every occasion we are greeted immediately with a big smile and a hug from the waitress staff. We are immediately shown to a table and served straight away with our first course of three. We never ever have to wait for service or a table. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great and the staff are so wonderful. Nothing is too much for them, and they go out of their way to make you so comfortable. Whilst you get on with lunch, the barman comes to your table to see what you would like to drink. For lunch, you get 3 courses, starter, carvery or alternative, sweet. All for £6.50 inc excellent service. This restaurant is ideal for anyone and also for hotel guests alike. The restaurant is part of the hotel Britannia. Both are found on Portland street, Manchester. If you are in Manchester for the day and would like a good 3 course lunch and excellent fast service, then this is the ideal hotel restaurant for you, and the very best in Manchester. The food is of top quality and proper home style cooking. There is plenty to choose from, from carvery, very tender meats and also alternatives e:g fish and other. Choice of sweets too. Starters, soup of the day or an alternative.I must give the chefs a mention. All you lads back there in the kitchen proberbly think that no-body gives you a thought, but rest assured, we do. Hip Hip to all you chefs, you do a wonderful job, and keep up the good work. The management should be proud of all you staff in Jennys restaurant. We will keep coming to have meals, because we love you all very much.There is alternative to lunch, and that is dinner in the evenings. Cost around £9.95, again 3 course, and again immediate attention from the staff.Go on everyone, if you love meals out, you have got it made at Jennys.Look for Britannia hotel on Portland Street, and Jennys is next to it downstairs, alternative entrance, downstairs in the hotel. Go for it. If we were giving stars for this restaurant, it would be 10/10.
