The Gallery in Trafford

Argumentative. Food cold, drinks cold. Disgusting staff attitude. Even other customers agreeing with me. Will not attend again.

We had a small wedding reception here mid week. We originally planned for a private meal in a restaurant, but we looked around at the gallery and fell in love. Emma, mom and their team were so relaxed, helpful and lovely. There's a cozy vibe as soon as you step through the door, all of our guests complimented the vibe of the space. Photos do not do it justice, its a lovely place. We did outside catering, so I can't comment on the food. But we attended 2 weeks prior to our nuptials and had a coffee and that was great.

To be fair I believe our breakfast was cooked by a stand-in chef, however at £30 for two breakfasts and 2 brews I would expect a decent standard, food was over cooked but barely warm?, scrambled egg had egg-shell in it, and the order was wrong on both breakfasts, which also took 3 seperate visits to our table to serve with my wife’s hash browns arriving as she was finishing - sorry wouldn’t recommend !

Called in early doors for a coffee. They hadn't actually open when I approached the door. I was invited in whilst they made their final presentations. Coffee was very good. Whilst I was there, plenty of customers came in. A family and a group of local ladies. Others came in to order afternoon teas. Great spot for a drink or light bite. A little gem of which the locals are obviously aware.

Hidden gem! Gorgeous inside with a beautiful courtyard out back. Friendly staff and lovely menu.

That was the first time I visited the café, I really love the café because the lemon cake and the tea was just fantastic. It was nice and relaxed place to visit can be a bit busy, but very nice café the staff are amazing and the services are great. Well done staff

Awesome atmosphere. Lovely staff and brilliant food. More Jam with the scone would have been lovely tho. But can't mark down for that 🙂

Lovely place, great relaxed atmosphere!

Love this place it's definitely worth a visit if you're in Urmston

Beautiful cafe, but service very poor. We ordered 3 sandwiches with soup, all of which came at different times. We had to ask twice for the last bowl of soup which came only after the sandwich was already finished. Had to ask for spoons for the soup as they'd forgotten them. Finished with 3 scones, which were dry as there was no butter and served with squirty cream as no real cream left. Very beautiful cafe, but lacked good service.

My partner and myself recently visited this family run establishment and it is such a lovely place. Great coffee and food, everyone was friendly and welcoming and plenty of comfy seats. But our highlight was being welcomed by their sweetheart dog Debbie and big fluffy cat! Highly recommended!

Couldn't star the food as we didn't have any HOWEVER.... the lady who owns The Gallery is an incredible artist and it shows in the decor. Before I go any further, this is also a great bar with lovely cocktails. Stunning is an understatement, there is something interesting to look at everywhere you turn. Inside and outside, just beautiful, a gorgeous place to visit. I just wish she opened every day and night, but alas, only Thursday to Saturday. Friday being the only late one till 10pm. Go and visit, you won't be disappointed.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Food was fast, plentiful and fresh.

Very friendly people, all good. Thank You.

Lovely family-run cafe in a gallery (or possibly gallery in a cafe!). Very friendly service, food is great (definitely get a slice of cake) and there are plenty of comfy sofas to sit on. Definitely recommended.

Lovely vibe, drinks and food. Highly recommend ⭐️

The best pie and lovely atmosphere

Well, what can I say? This is quite frankly the loveliest place You are transported into a quirky, beautiful arty paradise. The artwork of local artist and owner of the gallery Helen parsley decorates the walls with style and elegance. The atmosphere is just wonderful, the seating, sumptuous, and relaxing, whilst the little courtyard at the back makes you feel as though you're somewhere else entirely. The food is delicious 😋, and there is a great choice of food and drink. The service is absolutely amazing, I just love coming here. There is something quite magical about it. I would highly recommend a visit to the gallery 😊

Had our daughters 30th birthday party, can honestly say the venue, food and atmosphere is faultless big thanks to the staff, Emma and her mum for making it a night to remember 👌🎂🎶🍺🥳

This has to be the most lovely, relaxed and comfortable café in Manchester. The menu is great, simple and tasty food with amazing service which is swift yet friendly. A great place for early morning or mid-day in either winter (inside) or summer in the outdoor courtyard which is really very nice indeed. Hope to be back soon when visiting Mum @ Bowfell.

Lovely place, great cakes and atmosphere. Staff are very friendly

A unique business. Friendly staff and lovely food. Absolutely brilliant evening with 3 good friends. Great atmosphere. ❤️ good stop off for a coffee x

A big shout out to a small family ran business...please read👏 I just wanted say a big thank you to Emma, Helen and the helpful young man (sorry I didn't get your name) at The Gallery on Brook Rd, Flixton. I booked The Gallery on Sunday for a private party for my Mums 80th birthday. What can I say other than wow!!! What a beautiful place, beautifully ran by a beautiful family, serving the most amazing food, they couldn't have done anymore! All our guests said the same. This is a hidden gem away from the main routes and probably gets over looked but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go and take a visit I can assure you you won't be disappointed! It is such a homely environment with warming colours and lots of comfy sofas and chairs dressed with blankets and fur rugs surrounded by quirky antiques. Look up and you'll see the amazing chandeliers elegantly lighting the beautiful space. Helen also decorates the walls with her original art work that is for sale hence the name. Oh it's also dog friendly so you have no excuse not to go. The artistic vibes are even present in the presentation of the food, I've never seen food presented like that and it really works! Not only do they have the indoor space, there is more seating in the ginnel and the rear walled cobbled yard decorated to the same standard as the indoors...complete with heaters and lights. Another bonus is The Gallery doesn't just serve hot drinks and food it has a alcohol licence for your favourite tipple! So if you want to meet a friend for coffee or treat yourself to an afternoon tea this is your place. Or you you can hire the whole place for a private function. This would be such a perfect place for an intimate wedding function, it's so pretty! Go and support your local business! Louise xxx

There is no where else to compare. The food is delicious. The service is excellent and the atmosphere friendly and relaxed. The decor is beautiful and so many interesting collections. We always look forward to going.

They couldn’t of done enough for us, I have a daughter that attends the special needs school near by for mornings, so we only get 2hrs. The Gallery was more then happy to cater for that and do the afternoon tea for me and granny in the morning at 10.30 so we could have a some quality time whilst my daughter was in school.

We had a lovely lunch at the Gallery, pea and ham soup for my brother and a jalapeño chicken melt for me. The garden at the back is beautiful and indoors the cafe come studio (once an old co-op shop) is effortlessly cool. On top of all that they are donating their tips to the Pakistan flood appeal and they took care of my phone when I abandoned it (not for the first time and sadly, not the last either).

Fabulous variety of drinks. Welcoming, friendly staff. Sat out the back and enjoyed the flowers. Great selection of seating. Enjoyed looking through the urmston history book. This place is a hidden gem in Urmston. Free on road parking.

Emma is a lovely individual and The Gallery is gorgeous. It looks and feels amazing! I wish there were more places around like this but thankfully we have this gem if you're near Urmston.

Lovely cafe, wonderful outdoor area at the back, the place is beautifully decorated. Nice staff and good food. Strange thing to say but the side salad with my sandwich was the best I'd ever had

Found this lovely cafe after a visit to the local hospital. A beautiful place inside and out. All the staff were polite and friendly and the food was delicious. My daughter wants to go back every day . We ate in and also bought a takeaway sandwich for later in the day. Would highly recommend it and will definitely go back again soon. Thank you.

Fantastic buffet. Wonderful service. Totally recommended

This is a FAB place to chill out, have a bite to eat and a drink. Decor is wonderful and looks like something out of a movie set. Really great staff, helpful and smiley. We could have sat for hours people watching. Food was very tasteful and looked good on the plate. Will take some pics next time we go. You can eat inside or out. We'll worth a visit.

Love it. Everything's so awesome pictures & lovely lunch & garden come again. Thumb up

Spotted this lovely cafe after an appointment at Trafford General Hospital. The Gallery's inside and outside space is full of beautiful artwork. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We only had coffee this time, but we will certainly go back for lunch.

Deliciously quirky cafe with an interesting interior and decent food.

Very nice and quiet place!!! Coffees and cakes are awesome!!

Parking is very awkward it's very very busy 😤😱

We booked The Gallery for the evening, for our exclusive use, for 25 of us to celebrate my husband’s special Birthday. We had a delicious buffet, a wide choice of hot & cold drinks at the bar, & the beautifully decorated indoor & outdoor space. The service was amazing, very friendly & accommodating, helping to make it such a memorable & happy day for us all.

Absolutely fabulous, my first visit for Afternoon Tea. So welcoming, hosts and staff so lovely and friendly. Interior very comfortable. Food excellent and plenty too.

Beautiful inside very magical, but it took 25mins for 1person to do 3 drinks and when we asked for our food there was no hot food left very dissatisfied which is such a shame because its lovely inside.

Great night with Tom kitching " busking England "🇬🇧 👍 promoting his book.

Very impressed with decor and atmosphere of the Gallery, good place to relax in over a cup of coffee, excellent service

It was very busy at lunchtime. I would advise you to book. I was outside with a heater. Food was lovely v good cappuccino and excellent cheesecake. Lovely quaint surroundings and friendly staff.

This place is a 💎! Highly recommend a visit. Amazing home made cakes and you get to admire the owners art work displays. The place has a wonderful and cosy atmosphere. Great place to relax and enjoy tea and cake

Wonderful staff and service, really friendly. Nice food and beverages. Got to also mention the amazing artwork adorning the walls painted by the lovely owner!

Lovely building nice atmosphere and a very good addition to the local community

Lovely place and atmosphere,had a lovely meal.Nice addition to Urmston

The Gallery hosted a private event for us for my Dad's 70th. We were absolutely blown away by the buffet provided! The owners have created such a beautiful space and everybody working their was super friendly. In the evening with all the twinkly lights it just felt magical and really special. I highly recommend a visit to anybody who has never been, for a coffee and a cake, or a gin an tonic as they have a great selection of flavoured gins! Thanks again, it was fantastic.

Lovely little coffee shop, that I’ve only just discovered, very magical, full of loads of trinkets and eclectic design! Great coffee, cakes are like a proper ones and not manufactured 😀, highly recommended, gets busy though, there are outside seating areas with heaters which is great.

Wow. So much to take in decor wise. Nice food and ambiance. Could happily sit here all day!!

Different. Friendly and very enjoyable

Lovely building and luxurious decor.

Absolutely brilliant venue with even better food. The Gallery hosted a private event for our family this weekend which far exceeded our expectations, I can't say thanks to Simon, Helen and the whole team enough, their hospitality and attention to detail was 2nd to none. We will definitely be back, if I could give 10 stars I would.

Fantastic place, gorgeous food, courtyard stunning, art on the walls is fabulous, and they sell caramac!

Loved it. Great food and decor. Outside area.

Great place plus the most beautiful paintings there to buy if you wish. X

Excellent will definitely call again thank you

Absolutely gorgeous place ! Won’t go anywhere else. Friendly, peaceful, gorgeous surroundings and a little oiece of heaven on earth. ❤️

Beautiful cafe, lovely owners - a really gorgeous little place for cream tea and treats in Urmston.

Gorgeous! Yummy coffee and cake in a beautiful setting! Dog and child friendly too 🙂

Lovely surroundings & very pleasant owners. The panini's were tasty. Unfortunately the day we went it was cold weather.

Beautiful interior, friendly service and excellent food. Child and dog-friendly too!

A little sanctuary with gorgeous cakes & great drinks served by wonderful, friendly people. The outside space is as beautiful as the inside & the peaceful atmosphere is perfect. If you haven't been, then treat yourself, you will be guaranteed to return!

The Gallery Café is such a cool place for a coffee, cake, lunch or snack and a mooch at Helen's fantastic artwork which is for sale on site. Such a talented and lovely lady! and the café run with her husband Simon is well worth a trip even from afar!

Lovely place! Friendly and helpful staff and great coffee.

Fantastic art cafe which is licensed and has the best cake! The owners Helen and Simon are really friendly. Will definitely visit again soon.

Love seating area in the back, very relaxing. Perfect for a nice lunch break in the sun.

Absolutely lovely little cafe. Locally produced cake is delicious, coffee and hot chocolate really, really good. The owners are absolutely delightful and the art that Helen produces is really, really great too. Cannot wait until after the pandemic so that we can sit in.

Lovely cafe and great coffee, well worth a visit 😀

Super place to relax, enjoy coffee and cake, admire Helen's paintings and chat. Originals, prints and cards available to purchase. Easy to park close by. A warm and friendly welcome from Helen and Simon and great service from the delightful Katie. We'll be back!

Well worth a visit for Coffee, Cake & Art, but also the warm welcome & amazing decor!

Beautiful place, amazing cake & lovely staff. Thanks!

Another gem for Urmston with delicious decor and a fabulous ambience. Incredibly friendly welcome from artist and entrepreneur, Helen. Pram-friendly, especially in the covered outdoor area as well as some tables inside, great food options including vegan and gluten-free cakes. Stunning art gallery at the back with original art work too.

Just opened this morning - we were the second customers. Art gallery with prints and originals for sale, along with cafe serving locally made cakes and cheesecakes, teas, coffees, and sandwiches. Good quality coffee, cheesecake to die for, friendly, and very good Covid-19 hygiene. I'll be back. Probably tomorrow!
