The Bow Street Café in Tameside

Delicia culinaria vegana en el corazón de Manchester. Almorzamos aquí. Tuve la kombucha de chía, la sopa del día, que viene con un mini sándwich de asignación hecho con relleno de puerro y castaña. Tampoco pude resistir la rodaja de avellana. La comida era fresca, deliciosa y bien presentada. Comida que no grita en su mejor momento.

We've been into Gracie's a few times, we are finding the service getting worse. Never told there is a wait for food and we waited 40 mins for a sausage muffin and bacon muffin. Coffees the same wait. It seems they are running two businesses, a cafe and takeaway, more takeaway meals being given first to taxi drivers than atuall meals served in the cafe. Only one lady taking orders, doing drinks and clearing tables. I heard two people complaining to her while we waited.Sadly we won't be going again.

When we arrived, our table wasn’t ready and we had to wait in the bar. After finally sitting down, we asked to see an allergens menu which they couldn’t provide. The member of our party who had an allergy then told the waitress his allergies and she went away to speak to the chefs and came back saying that they couldn’t cater for him at all. We then asked if he could go off the bar menu as was unable to eat off the Mother’s Day menu. They said no because only people in the bar (2m away) were able to go off this menu. The staff then tried to blame ourselves for this saying that we should’ve said at the time of booking. We go out to eat at least once a week and we have never had this issue and if they have issues with catering for allergies surely they should’ve asked me if anyone had any allergies on the phone when I called to make a reservation. Since it was Mother’s Day and everywhere would be fully booked we had no choice but to stay and the member with allergies had to sit and watch us eat! Whilst we were there a number of glasses piled up on the table and when we asked them to remove the glasses they didn’t. The lady on the table next to us also got ketchup thrown all over her by a clumsy waitress who promised it wasn’t on the lady’s jacket (which it was). The service was incredibly slow also. We sat down at about 2:15 and didn’t leave til around 5pm. At about half 3 there was another family who came in to get there table and they didn’t get seated until well after 4pm. When we asked for our bill, they had charged us or 6 adults instead of 5 and a child! I wonder how many people they’ve tried this with and got away with! Such a shame bc I was looking forward to trying a few things on their menu at a later date but 100% will not be returning. Absolutely dreadful. Couldn’t have asked for a worse Mother’s Day.

Always a great meal and service

Old fashioned pub with a great tasting pint
