Parmogeddon in Manchester

Travelled from outside the area to try the Parmo. I’m from Middlesbrough originally (home of the Parmo) so was eagerly looking forward to trying one. It was ok, wasn’t what you would get in Boro. Meal was laced with herbs which was quite overpowering. Would be better with plain fries and proper garlic sauce. Asked for onions too and couldn’t have any for some reason. Wasn’t bad but wasn’t great. Back to Boro soon hopefully. Lady serving us was really nice and friendly.

bland flavourless food, overcooked borderline burnt and found a hair in the tenders. won’t be ordering again

Ordered here for the first time tonight. What an absolute joke. How can you send out food that is freezing cold and also burnt. The Mexican fries were burnt beyond recognition, with what looks like the bottom of the fryer scraped inside. They Absolutely drenched with oil that was somehow leaking through the polystyrene tray they arrived in.

Tried the Parmo Butty at the Manchester Christmas markets and loved every bite. Full of flavour and it was devoured within a minute. Looking forward to visiting Parmogeddon outside of the Christmas markets to try other food.

Best parmo in Manchester easily! I got one with pepperoni, hot sauce, and jalapeño. Tasted super delicious, and was a good portion. Cost 13 pounds. The chips were really nicely seasoned as well, though perhaps a tiny tiny bit under salted. The garlic sauce was tasty as well. Staff was friendly and accommodating. If you fancy a parmo in Manchester, I would definitely direct someone here. Personally, I find the location a bit of a shame, as I don’t particularly like underpass / shipping container business centers, but that doesn’t reflect directly on Parmogeddon, who are great!

Wow, so much food! I was so full after the parmo I couldn’t eat my fries! Hatch is such an amazing atmosphere it’s hard to not have a good time! The food makes it that much more amazing! So happy I was able to enjoy this awesome meal.

Decent, bit poncey though, and nowhere near as big as a half Parmo back home. Would recommend to a hungry smoggy.

I’ve been here/ordered from here 3 times now and each time the parmos and tenders are just drowning in off-tasting oil. Don’t get me wrong, I love fried greasy food as much as anyone but this just tastes really strange. The chicken itself isn’t the problem, but the oil it seems to be covered in is the main problem for me. The béchamel I’m also not a fan of, it also tastes a bit ‘off’ to me and when we ordered from there last night, it tasted floury and wasn’t nice at all - my partners was the same, so not just me. Just not for me, and I’ve definitely given this place a fair try over the last 18 months with ordering different parmos and sides.

Amazing food at a really good price, can't beat it! Deffo will be coming back next time I'm in Manny

A bit of a mixed experience really. Ordered during what I thought was a quiet lull but the food did take quite some time to actually come out and I had only ordered the Parmo Baos and nothing else so was a bit irritable by the time they arrived. As for the Parmo Baos themselves, one tasted really good, covered in hoisin and green onion... the other, the garlic mayo and chips option, tasted a bit on the bland and texturally mushy side thanks to the chips not having any crispness to them at all. I'd like to try other things at some point from here but sadly my first experience could have been better.

Really nice, lots of veg options

We went there after looking at the lovely pictures on insta, took a long time to coencide a visit to Manchester and an opp to go there, either way got there walk in to the shipping container, no one else there and was ignored for a while, eventually a lady came over to the hatch I asked for a menu, it's in the window I was told. Ok fair enough go outside look at the window decide what we want, go back in ignored! People literally opening the hatch from the kitchen and walking past, right okay then off we went in search of a beer, found one went back to sit outside parmageddon, went in and again no one in there apart from staff and someone else having a conversation about who owes what knives to which place, again about ten mins being ignored, so outside again scan qr code, order food, wait. Food arrives I had really high hopes however, chicken was dry as fluff, bechemal sauce and cheese made it so rich that after half of the dry chicken breast and cheese it was sickly, I had the hot one and the good lady had the salt and pepper one both of us had the same opinion. The weirdest bit was we were sat outside of their shipping container and the chicken on both portions were cold???? That said after the amount we had been ignored trying to order whats the point in mentioning anything? We had a show to go to. Chips however were warm and actually decent.

They cook amazingly delicious food here, every dish is a work of art, thank you so much!

Not as tasty as the reviews say, in fact its really bad. A fried chicken fillet topped with cheese that has absolutely 0 zero. My food was cold, assuming it wasn't fresh. The chips are the only reason I'm giving 2 stars, otherwise it's not even worth it. Not recommend!

Buena cena y el lugar grandísimo,un buen sitio para estar tranquilos nos recomendaron probar "Un Parmo" elaborado por el chef Kyle y servido por Ellie, estaba realmente delicioso

I don't think I've ever had a parmo before (my North Eastern friend was shocked), so had a go. Wow, what a great meal! I will be making detours back here when I'm next in Manchester. Armo Get A Sweat was super tasty and spicy, love it!

Had the cauliflower parmo with mac and cheese topping - portions were big and it was nice... just not very well seasoned? I know its quite hard to make cauliflower more interesting so it's not really on the restaurant 😂 The chips were seasoned so so well and the pickled salad added a really nice sharpness and contrast. So overall it was nice.

Amazing crispy cheesy and garlic-y. The chicken is amazing. Super filling and great price

I ordered this order on UberEats so I cannot vouch for the Service nor Atmosphere but the food was 10/10! Unbelievable Parmos with a lovely creamy cheese topping. I got the Holy Grail Parmo and my Son & Husband got the Holy Macaroni Parmo. It comes with Seasoned home-made Chips and Red Cabbage Slaw. All of it as a combination really works. I would love to Visit soon and see if the Service and Atmosphere is up to the Spec that the Food is. I definitely recommend...

Best Parmo around can’t be beaten

The vegetarian/vegan options are amazing.

Best parmo outside of Middlesbrough and would probably be one of the best in boro

Closed 30 minutes before closing time and wouldn’t let us order :( came to Hatch just to eat here

A bit slow in the order delivery but definitely worth it as it's absolutely delicious!

Fun place for a filling snack. Friendly service.

Excellent food, so tasty. Nice and friendly staff too

Great experience! Must try Pro : great chicken and cheese and homemade chili sauce Cons : fries where too salty , the wooden cutlery made it hard to cut and The cardboard plate and paper under started to get in the food , just saying things that can be improved But I enjoyed the flavour of the chicken Parma . Cmon guys!!! :)

Absolutely delicious, ordered twice as much as I could eat and I can't wait to reheat the rest later

The food was delicious and an interesting concept. I went for the Armogeddon - highly recommended! The holy macaroni was also delicious.

Delicious food and fast service

Visited Parmageddon at the Christmas Markets and chose The Christmas Parmo and it was easily the best thing I've ever eaten at any Christmas markets EVER! Friendly staff, quick service and would absolutely eat that again now if I could! 👏🏼

I saw a video on TikTok saying that Parmogeddon was a must try, flew all the way from Switzerland to approve it and.. it’s approved! Location is nice, service is great and the parm was delicious! Definitely gonna come back for it!

I was at Manchester Christmas Market on a work training trip, best parmo I've ever had (including in NE) staff were lovely too.

Very goooood very niceeee! The joy inside of me when I seen a place that does parmos outside of Teesside! Topnotch service and food.

ABSOLUTELY Amazing loved it hopefully be back soon

Very delicious i got the hot honey and feta cheese parmo. It was flavoursome and it was delivered straight to my table. Would seriously recommend this! And the coleslaw was great too

First time trying parmo, got the Brie one and it was absolutely delicious. Good sized portion and really tasty!

Great food, an absolute classic if you're from the North East.

Tried the Garlic and Parmesan loaded Fries. They were amazing in taste.

Went today after a long parmo dry spell with now living in London. As a person from Boro everything about this parmo was spot on. Staff were really lovely too.

Go here, I wish we had one in Liverpool.

Tried Parmogeddon today and was blown away. I ordered the buffalo and blue parmo. The food was delicious and was bursting with flavour. The chicken was perfect, it was tender and soft and tasted really good. The triple cooked chips were delicious and the spicy slaw topped everything off. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

Food was so tasty and delicious. I had the Brie and hot honey and I thought it was the prefect balance- though all the other options are tasty too. The side of slaw and potato are also really good and add to the meal. Would definitely recommend trying and it’s worth coming to Hatch just to have it.

These guys are so friendly and have great food ,from our team of security we thank you so very much .Parmogeddon all the way .

The chicken was juicy and covered with cheese, perfectly cooked spiced and flavorful. The side salad is the one for which I can constantly go back to this place. Don't forget to try the truffle butter fries.

Having never had this dish before I wasn't sure what to expect. The staff were pleasant enough, however I found the food not to be of my taste, firstly it came out very quickly which means to me it's not fresh but pre cooked, I found the seasoned fries although very tasty really salty but I did finish them off ! The chicken parmo was really very bland after the fries and was extremely greasy, but again I finished it because I was very hungry and in need of food after my insulin shots. It was a nice experience...... Would I revisit if I was in this area again ???? It's a sound no from me !!

Ottimo staff la location molto bella e soprattutto tutto squisito 🥰🥰🥰

Being from Teesside I know what a good Parmo taste like. This is a good Parmo. I’ll be dreaming about it tonight 😋.

Nice, but way too much salt. And I say this as someone who enjoys salty food. Tone that down and easy 5*

Really tasty! Filling! Cant wait to go back!

The best cheese fries ever. You have to try if youre visiting hatch, really great prices and really good portion sizes. I bring all my friends here just to try them! Layers of melted bechamel sauce topped with more cheese

Really friendly staff, really tasty food. Definitely a treat but their options were great, everything was fresh and made to order. You could taste the effort they put into each portion, I really like it here.

Taste of home, even if the portion size isn't upto Teeside Parmo :-)

Hard to find. We were walking around for 10 mins and asking but couldn't find it. Maybe it's easy for the locals but very hard to find even when asking. We were just walking in circles and could not find it. Maybe Google directions need to be improved, or signs somewhere

I do not claim to know what a Parmo is or be a regular. I was enticed by the high reviews and I have no guilt in leaving another. I confess I do like my food spicy heading towards over seasoned. So, with that most of the negative reviews may be from those who have a more delicate palate. To me, a great fillet of chicken smothered in cheese. How can you go wrong. Spicy salty chips and a sharp sauerkraut complement deliciously. If in doubt, opt for the mayo, I went all in with chilli sauce. It delivered. Wood park style tables in an underpass, Served from a shipping container. No pretentiousness. Great

Ok. The bad reviews are from people who don't understand what a parmo is. Its sicky, cheese goodness and parmageddon do it so well. Their chips are ace too and thr side slaw gives a hit of fresh. The owners from Middlesbrough so says it all. 5 stars x

Some friends were visiting from out of town and thought of checking out this place while walking on the streets. And I have to say, it was an undoubtedly the best decision of my life. They had a limited menu selection, but every item on the menu provided quality and food made with love and care. The portion size was quite big as well. Overall had the best experience and enjoyed the time out.

Ordered “The Holy Grail” parmesan with a side of truffle and garlic butter fries. The Holy Grail is your standard parmo, in all honesty, a decent piece of chicken and a nice amount of cheese. Quite sickly as you go on. What ruined it was the overpowering truffle oil on the chips that seeped under the parmo and quite frankly made it impossible to eat. No more than 3 fork fulls of the parmo were had due to the overbearing truffle and garlic oil. Also ordered the “Salt & Pepper” with regular fries which was good. The toppings on this parmo really helped give it some much needed flavour. Chilli sauce was ok also, was nice to have as a dipping sauce with the regular fries. Would definitely recommend having the chips separate, especially with the truffle and garlic butter ones.

Bought back memories of Australia but with a NY twist!

Good food. Well priced. Great service

I've been involved with running Hatch since September 2020 and i LOVE Parmogeddon, quailty products, lovely guys and a really gem of a street food trader in the north west. If you haven't sampled the really thing in Middlesbrough, check out Parmogeddon

A lovely taste of my hometown, but in Manchester!

Visited site in Hatch. Chips were really hard had to throw half of them away. Parts of the chicken were very thin so had hardened. Garlic mayo was tasteless. Shame as the taste of the parmo itself was decent.

First off the service was really quick which was great! Unfortunately the food was just over seasoned for me. I had a parmigiana with the fries and pickled cabbage side. Fries were cooked well but mega salty and the pickle could do with being a bit sweeter it was quite abrasive. The chicken was really thin so didn't balance well with the mounds of cheese. The spicy ketchup was tasty though. Sorry I'm not normally one to trash restaurants, hope the comments help.

Inside Hatch. Delicious food, friendly service, good price. Recommended.

We visited the Newcastle site in Stacks Newcastle. Food was delicious, we had the fried babybel - cheesy gooey melty little bombs with tangy spicy tomato based sauce. We shared the chicken parmo - very generous portion, delicious and crispy chicken covered with creamy bechamel and mountains of cheese, fries were homemade, well seasoned and soft inside like clouds - Definitely recommend! Accompanied with light and surprisingly spicy slaw that lifted the whole meal with its freshness. All food was homemade and fresh, you can tell they care. Portions are quite big so if you’re not too hungry, definitely share. Overall absolutely recommended!

Really great place. If the words “cheesy fried chicken” sound good to you then this is the place for you.

Parmogeddon is easily one of the best food vendors in the city. Incredible value for money.

Love the food here! The chicken is fresh and tasty and most importantly, full of cheese! A proper chicken Parmesan, no messing about, no corners cut, just love with every dish they serve!

Hands down the best cheesy fries I’ve ever had. Literally can’t stop raving about this place - my family live in Milton Keynes but they want to come and try them too. Best place I’ve eaten in Manchester, can’t wait to try the vegan duck wrap next time.

Parmogeddon has parmotosed me here shouldnt of ate 2 but a couldnt stop throwing it down me neck cos it was so good .been visiting salford for 5 years never had a decent parmo until today quality scran

Just returned from Hatch and REALLY enjoyed the Mac n cheese Parmo. If you like fried chicken and cheese, it's a match made in heaven. Honestly, one of the nicest lunches I've had in months. Worth noting that Hatch felt very comfortable in 'covid times', with food ordering done via an app. It's a system that was easy to use and worked well. Although it was the first time I've had a Parmo, certainly won't be the last!

Great chicken parm served at the hatch. Would highly recommend going here if you're in the area and looking for some good food

Fantastic place to grab some grub on a night out. Hatch is a great place for a drink in an unusual setting. These guys make perfect drunk food to go along with your night.
