Nook in Stockport

I just wanted to write and say a massive thank you to you and your staff especially Willow for making last Saturday a brilliant night. All our memory team had such a great night, everyone said it's the best venue we have ever been to for a Christmas do and we have been to many. I don't know how we can ever find anything better than the outside space at The Nook. The fire pit really added to the setting and atmosphere. The little bar was so great to have just for our team, and the decorated tippee made it feel so much liked Christmas. The food was enjoyed by everyone. Thank you so much to Willow for her professional, friendly, warm approach even under pressure which she coped with well, nothing was too much trouble for her, she is a true asset to your team. I don't know what we will do for Christmas 2025, as we always go somewhere new, but all the staff are saying they want to book The Nook again! We might be contacting you in July! It was such a brilliant night.

Be very careful on entering this establishment!! There is a "mind the step" sign on the door and sure enough there is danger tape on the threshold, but as you step over it you may not notice that there is a further step hazard about 80cms further in. On 12th November my wife didn't see the step and fell, fracturing her vertebrae. Our Christmas trip to the Canaries is now in jeopardy. Be warned. Oss Boardman

Take very great care on entering this establishment. There is a "mind the step" notice on the door but having stepped over the entrance step there is yet another step hazard awaiting you about 80cms further in!!! I know because my wife tripped over it and fractured her vertebrae!!

There's a new menu. Had the avocado and poached eggs (with feta, rocket and sourdough). Perfect eggs. The chef deserves 🌟. Friendly relaxed atmosphere. Lovely staff.

Chicken Parm Pizza Sandwich ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're a fan of both chicken parm and pizza, this sandwich is a game-changer! The crispy, breaded chicken cutlet is perfectly cooked—tender inside with just the right amount of crunch on the outside. It's smothered in marinara sauce, topped with melted mozzarella, and sandwiched between two soft, buttery slices of pizza dough that add the perfect pizza-flavor twist. Every bite is an explosion of comfort food goodness. Whether you're craving pizza or a hearty sandwich, this dish hits the spot. Highly recommend for anyone looking to try something unique and satisfying! Can't wait to try the philly cheese steak

Having chosen our table and having to sit there with the remnants of someone else brunch for ten minutes, should have been a warning sign. 15 minutes for our drink orders to be taken, another 15 for food, then a whopping 30 minutes for the food to be brought out (avocado on toast - missing the chilli flakes) and Nook breakfast sandwich which had an egg as burnt as could be and a rock hard bun. As we left the table next to us had only just been cleared. Friendly staff but obviously ran by very a junior and inexperienced team. £35 for something you could rustle up in ten minutes at home while sitting at a clean table. Heston Morons seem to love it though

The entranceway is a death trap. Despite the hazard tape, almost everyone trips as they come in. It needs to be brightly lit and a danger warning on door. Great vibe though, good pizza and beautiful ceiling!

Pizzas are amazing!! Well worth a visit.

Favourite place for a drink on the moor, great atmosphere and lovely staff!

Never a bad time at Nook, always our go to place for some food or a drink in the evening. Lovely and friendly atmosphere the staff are always welcoming!

Hmm. I don't often diss small businesses... Nice coffee But the place needs a good clean. Shame

What a lovely place, great atmosphere, friendly staff and a good menu. Food and service were excellent....... they also have a lovely outdoor teepee tent space to the rear.........hope to pop in again very soon.

Had a great time at Nook, staff were friendly and new menu is worth a try

This place has gone massively downhill. A different staff member every time you go in, most of whom are pretty surly. Ordered a bacon sandwich a while back and I took half an hour to arrive because "the grill had switched off." When it did come, it was borderline inedible.

amazing food, great service! lovely place to eat

Mixed review service was shocking told 30-40 mins wait which was fine but then took over 30 mins to come and take order then an hour and a half before food came to be told twice whilst waiting ran out of what I asked for, and eventually food arrived but only for some of us we had nearly finished before the last meal arrived.cafe it’s self is lovely

Love this place. Can highly recommend ❤️

I used to live in Heaton Moor for many years but now live in France, I was back visiting my aunt and we popped into Nook, I haven't been in for a few years I must say it looks very nice all the changes to exterior garden etc But I felt it now lacks warmth, I felt if you were in their click you fitted But as a new customer They had no interest, The staff seemed to interact with the customers they obviously know and see on a regular basis , Also it would be more people friendly during daytime to do table service Juno and several other cafes on the Moor manage to do table service. I felt like I was an interuption to the staff member. I must say my aunt enjoyed her carrot cake The cakes do all look nice . I did not eat cake.

It’s a shame to write this but I can’t believe just how down hill it has gone. Visited today with my parents, and I was shocked, the place needs a good clean, the glasses were dirty next to the water and the menus were scruffy.All the cakes were not covered. Ordered toasted tea cakes one of which was only half toasted and had chunks of black bits stuck to it like burnt cheese, We got a refund. The staff were lovely but I am extremely dissapointed and won’t be going back which is sad because it used to be so nice

Came to Nook for lunch on a Tuesday, whilst with a colleague as we were in the area. When we walked inside, we sat down at a small table only to find it hadnt got a powerpoint for laptop charger. We waited ten minutes and then a couple moved from the booth closest to the window, which had two powerpoints underneath each seat. We cleared the table ourselves of the previous customers' food and drinks. The whole cafe wasn't even half full, and it still took the staff ten minutes to clear the tables next to us where we moved the plates to. I quietly answered a phone call, and within the first 30 seconds had one member of staff come over and interrupt me mid call asking if i could move over to tanother table. I asked why and she said that they were "a non working cafe", and that a group of ladies who had just walked in (and sat down somewhere else) wanted to sit at the booth instead. I told her that we were sat here for the powerpoints, and she had said "well these ladies will probably want to order food and drinks", bare in mind that my colleague had walked up to the bar with the menus to put an order in for food and drinks for the both of us, but nobody was attending at the time.. The waitress walked off, and got a lady who i presume to be the manager, and they both were rude to me, and made it very clear that we weren't wanted. We left, and went to a lovely coffee shop directly round the back and stayed there for hours ordering food and drink from them. Considering the world we live in today, especially post covid it's strange to think a cafe wouldn't welcome people for lunch that wfh, willing to spend circa £40 between them on food and drink in a suburb of Manchester. Heaton Moor is lovely and cafes are ten penny. There are much better places to go, so i definitely learnt my lesson picking the wrong one. Do not come here if you plan to (god forbid) check an email here, reply to a text or answer a phone call. It would also help to make sure you are not under the age of 60..

Tables were dirty, cakes were out on the counter getting sneezed on, also they ask for tips up-front before anything has even happened... the actual food was bangin though to be fair

Sat outside in the bar area, with the log fire.

The perfect spot for some afternoon cocktails or a coffee.

Fantastic independent café in Heaton Moor! Amazing staff with great home cooked food. Would highly recommend 👌

Pretty miserable and wet yesterday so I nipped into Nook for a coffee and a Veggie Brunch Wrap which was really tasty and the staff were super friendly. Cool Tipi covered area in the Gin Garden at the back - Love it ;-)

Moved to the area 2 years ago and this was one of our favourites (very dog friendly). That being said the service and food seems to have declined recently. A visit over summer the lentil soup turned out to be lentil and chorizo which wasnt great for my vegeterian partner, we forgave this as simple but serious mistake. However we sat for brunch today to hear the bar staff loudly complaining about rude customers whilst not bothering to come check if our meal was okay, the table next to us also seemed to be having issues. The chips were overcooked oven chips and we feel the granola breakfast (topped with 2 strawberries and 5 blueberries) was over priced at nearly the same price as a sandwich. The chicken wrap had been cooked so the wrap had gone hard on the outside. On the way out the same complaining member of staff shouted "cheers then" as we left in a seemingly sarcastic tone.

Love Nook. The beer garden at the back in the summer is a real hidden gem.

Love it in this bar and ideal place to go for a pre dinner drink in Heaton Moore. Its certainly improved the place since they made it bigger.

Just love Nook What's not to like, great atmosphere, food and service.

I’m not one to write a negative review, especially regarding a local Heaton’s business. I had a very disappointing experience on Sunday afternoon, took my dad for a Father’s Day coffee and we had to request a refund and leave after waiting over 30 minutes for some drinks. When we went up to enquire about a refund, the waitress told us the order had never gone through despite us paying. Not once during the 30 minute wait did anyone come over to check if we ordered etc. This is not the first time we have waited extensive amounts, recently went for evening drinks and our drinks were sat on the counter for 20 minutes before we received them. Very frustrating, I won’t be rushing back.

Nice place, understated service

Great vibe, lovely atmosphere, nice and chilled

Great food, service and atmosphere

I liked the place, staff are really helpful, they had a high chair. A casual and eatery it's worth a look. Wheelchair users can access an outside table as there are plenty of stairs inside including access to toilets.

Loved this place and decor. First time going yesterday. Licenced cafe bar. Selling good coffee. Great service, tasty homemade food. Including a selection of homemade cakes.

I'm loathe to leave a review for Nook as it might make it even more difficult to get a seat in there. It's a great place and has got a great easy going atmosphere. Either for an afternoon coffee or an evening drink it's probably the best spot in Heaton Moor. Good coffee, great wine, great beer. It's the first place we look at. If we cannot get in there, then we'll consider elsewhere. If I'm going to be picky then the cakes could be better. But that is being picky 😊

Yummy food and drinks, dogs can get a bit barky!

Wonderful coffee shop with great atmosphere. Service was fairly quick too

The soup was quite a bit too hot. Nice staff though.

The plant on the ledge needs removing and the Christmas decorations need taking down. But Phaedra was good and the soup was tasty.

Lovely little bar in the middle of Heaton Moor. Whether it's a coffee or a beer this is the place to go. It's only small but super cosy. Dog friendly too. Staff are super helpful and friendly.

Went on a quiet day waited 40 mins for food someone forgot to put the heating on

Cosy place for a tea or coffee, also they sell many types of beers! Coffee is also very good. Many choices as well of hot drinks. Friendly staff there

Visited Nook in Heaton Moor on Saturday with family and was thoroughly disappointed after a good previous visit a month prior. The first problem was that the male staff member was too busy complaining loudly about the Mexican pop-up vendor that he forgot to put in our drinks ticket, meaning our juices took 30 minutes to arrive. He also when taking our initial drinks order didn’t mention that the normal food menu was not on due to the pop up food vendor. The staff behind the bar spent the entirety of our meal moaning about various things and were cold and dismissive when we wanted to take payment. A bizarre and disappointing experience. Compliments to the Mexican street food vendor person as the food and service was great from their end.

Called in for a sandwich and coffee. Cappuccino was great and my New Yorker sandwich was delicious. And it’s dog friendly as well. This is rapidly becoming our go to cafe

Great cocktails, warm and cosy inside and great for people watching outside. Lovely place

Cute, friendly cafe! Delicious sandwiches and fantastic tea selection

Lovely atmosphere. Fabulously friendly staff. A must visit for coffee, cake and drinks.

Marvellous place for food and drinks

Can't seem to go! Every time I go down they close early. 🤦‍♂️ I'm told their open mic night is good (by friends) but daytime or nighttime when I go... I end up going else where.

We called into Nook on 31.08.2022, for the first time, for brunch and had a lovely time The place has a funky, quirky, eclectic decor which made it all very interesting, split on two levels also with external, road side seating and we enjoyed the granola/greek yoghurt and banana bread/greek yoghurt with orange juices for a very, very reasonable price and extremely high quality Now we've discovered the Nook we will definitely return and are very happy to recommend

Great place to visit if your in the area we when in the afternoon for drinks the bar has a good selection of beers with at least two good lagers on draft and several beers at anytime the staff made us feel very welcome we will be visiting again soon 🙂🍻

This is the best jewel in Heaton moor. The best wine bar best coffee best cakes and food and especially the staffs and the managers both running that place.its the best ever place to go for good wine and the people are lovely and importantly it's dog friendly They have done a great job making the atmosphere so peaceful and relaxation the staffs are the best without them the services would not be that high quality. The service is the best it's my favourite place in Heaton moor

Haven’t been here for a while following lockdown. Some changes made inside but still quirky and great place to enjoy the coffee - dig friendly too

We hadn’t been since lockdown and the inside has undergone a bit of a refurbishment, although it hasn’t lost any of its character. The coffee was good (a proper cappuccino) and the rhubarb and almond cake devine (so much so that we ordered an extra one to share!). The service was friendly and efficient. The only downside was the cost (£18.20 for 2 coffees and 3 average sized cakes is expensive)

Heaton Moor bar. Enough said. Perfect place to go at weekends.

Lovely place for Sunday breakfast. Excellent food and the staff were really friendly.

Great coffee n service highly recommended

Rude argumentative staff, the only staff member who could get my order correct was the polite young girl with red hair

Charming staff but rather let down by the uninspiring menu

Nice little intimate cafe with friendly staff. Ordered 2 different milkshakes which were presented really well, but we're flavourless. It was like drinking a cup of milk which was warm with warm melting cream on top. It was also advertised as being served with chocolate sauce or one of my choice, however I did not get a choice and it was served with honey on top which really did not compliment the flavours of the drink, which were mostly non existent anyway, and for £5 each I definitely will not be returning.

I went just for a coffee🙂... but very nice place 🤗

Good quality , but sadly no level access but staff very friendly and obliging recommended

The staff are warm and welcoming. Nice clientele. Open mic night offers something unique and twee. recommended

Good all rounder with some decent drinks perhaps a tad on the expensive side for the beers compared to similar offers elsewhere. Coffee has really improved - I had an excellent soya cappuccino and unlike before it reopened it was really well made. Staff are always polite though at times they struggle to see you due to the design with the lower part of the bar hard to see from upstairs so would be good for them to regularly check customers in that section. The menu is perhaps a little underwhelming for vegetarians though the food is good. I’ve been for breakfast, nicely priced bagel but please add some savoury options (peanut butter, marmite) and lunch (good soup). Also a really good bar atmosphere in the evening.

Very friendly staff. Nice place to sit and be in. Good internet. Food really tasty, a bit spenny at £8 for a toastie though

We nipped in today for coffees and light lunch. The coffees were perfect, toasted banana bread was delicious and the bacon Brie and chipotle jam sandwich was beautiful. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly service, couldn’t fault it. Will definitely visit again

Beautiful decor, very polite and pleasant staff. The music is too loud in the day to comfortable chat and the black coffee is bitter. I won't be going back

Lovely cappucino and Banana cake with yoghurt and berries, yummy. Will be back for lunch.

Really nice atmosphere with great selection of drinks with alternative milk options. Friendly staff and dog friendly! 👍 Food was great but needs some vegan options. Couldn’t find a menu online anywhere so I’ve posted it here. :)

Such a lovely cafe! Fantastic staff, great food (including tasty vegan cakes) and my dog loved her puppacino 😁🐕

So happy to find a dog friendly cafe

Cosy little bar, really good selection of beers. Would definitely recommend a visit.

A warm welcome. Just had coffee but there were some delicious looking cakes!! Warmer on the upper level.

Nice place but was taking away. Nice coffee and cake but on the steep side price wise.

Amazing place lovely ales, and staff realllly make this plae. Fortunately for me this is now my local.

Love the newest rendition. Cosy but no longer claustrophobic. Lovely staff, food and atmosphere

Always a great place to grab a coffee/cake or have a few drinks after work / on a weekend. It’s a really versatile place and it’s great to see Nook open and busy again. 100% my favourite place in the heatons.

Nice atmosphere but the brownies are almost twice the price of everywhere else

Lovely bar, great staff, James is a G Cosy spot

Pre pandemic often went here for a lovely bacon sandwich, but have to say today was extremely disappointing, the bacon was very anemic looking to the point I wondered whether it was truly cooked. I did eat just over half of it but it wasn't great. And again unfortunately the knife I was given was filthy and on pointing this out to a member of staff she just said sorry. Giving we are all supposed to be extra careful, this actually was not good enough their cutlery should be spotless.

Nice decor, popped in with the wife on Sunday for a brew. Nice Coffee and hot chocolate. Staff were friendly and made you feel welcome. Will definitely go back.

Lovely cafe, we went for breakfast. The banana bread with yogurt and berries was delicious and latte was great. Waitress was friendly and helpful.

Missed this place so much! Visited yesterday afternoon/last night with some friends, and gave to say that the refurb looks stunning. The vibe is buzzing and the staff are really friendly, can’t wait to start making this place a regular haunt again.

Excellent service by all the staff courtney was very polite and helpful so was Joe and James

Delicious coffe and a cosy place. Sad they have sold up.

Me and my mate had a Really good cappuccino (a proper one) and the waiter was really awesome. Definitely going back

It was tasty tase ,mmmm nom nom

Amazing coffee, wonderful food and really friendly staff. Well worth a visit to this bohemian place.

Our coffee shop of choice whenever we are in the area. Just love the decor. The coffee is lovely and creamy even with skinny milk. The cakes are delicious - especially the carrot cake.

Lovely, homely, welcoming cafe & bar. Great cappuccino

Really nice spot for a drink or a coffee or a platter of feed. Craft beer and artisan coffee. I would be devvoed if it closed down. Its my go to spot on the West Side of the Moor. Its a bit like West Side story with less Bernstein and more craft beer.

I generally like Nook despite its cashless policy. Being cashless is all about the retailer's convenience, not the customers. They also save money on not banking cash, but is any of this saving passed on to the customer? Anyway, on this occasion I had a Mocha. This was not a disaster but it tasted like a hot chocolate to me - no taste of coffee at all! I'll stick to a long black next time.

Paulaner on draft. What's not to like? Lovely little bar. Remember card only, no cash.

Called in to our favourite coffee shop for a late morning coffee and cake. The service was as friendly as ever and the carrot cake was so moist and tasty. There were a variety of different foods being eaten, and they all looked yummy!

Go to place in Heaton Moor Thursday night

We had an enjoyable visit to the Nook last Saturday evening after we had eaten next door. We had been a few times for coffee and food before but this was our first time in the evening. Good selection of beers, gins and cocktails and although the place was a bit quiet, a nice atmosphere and ambiance which was down to a DJ playing some excellent tunes. Bar man friendly and helpful, and a nice end to our evening.

I like this place...Or usually! Today it did not seem to give me the same feel. Service was a bit slow and dare i say offhand. Decent wine though. Will be back. Sute its not the norm!

Always nice fur a quick cuppa and a slice of cake.

Excellent bistro, incontournable !
