The Grain Loft in Trafford

We eat breakfast and drinks it is all prefect !! We are come again in England second time and I love to eat in the airport and Costas thanks for the service !!

Would give the food 4 stars but the service 5 stars. When we finally got through checkin and security we headed to the Grain Loft for some breakfast. We were greeted by a member of the staff called Kostas who looked after us throughout our time in there, cannot thank him enough. I would recommend asking for him next time anyone is eating there.

The friendliest of staff!! I can't get over how brilliant these guys are. Great food as well, they've made a great start to our holiday!

Only able to order via phone and you need to sign into their WiFi or the payment will decline but still ‘pending’ charge your credit cards. Table dirty and card menu smeared in food. Food ok but not warm at all

Fish and chips are of good quality (better than chippy or a Wetherspoons), The sparkling water came cold with a glass full of ice and a straw! Using the QR code system was simple and straightforward, similar to way Wetherspoons does table service. Very fast service!

Great service especially from kostas very helpful would recommend. Had breakfast early morning nice and cheap no complaints

Top service from kosta,very professional and very helpful he is,breakfast very nice and good start fir our holiday 😀

Food portions are very small. Easy place to chill before a flight

Despite having a large bar it isn't actually possible to place an order through human interaction, you have to use a phone and piss about trying to order via a QR code. Didn't bother and went to Cafe Balzar instead where you are greeted by happy people and can place an order by speaking to them, miraculous!

Decent atmosphere for an airport pint. Decent music. Not ridiculous prices for the airport. App order wasn’t working for me but managed to a person to someone to order from.

Forced to order online and not at the bar. This is a problem when waiting for a flight as you have no idea when your drink will arrive. We waited 30 mins for ours and had to leave to board. If we were ordering at the bar we would have got our drinks much quicker or realised that the bar was too busy to wait so wouldn't have ordered. This service does not work in an airport.

Great service from Tiffany. She was very helpful and polite!

Food was nice but expensive. App also took payment pending then said error. Cost nearly £50 for 2 small breakfast, a coffee and a small cup of juice.

Service from Kris was exceptional. Very pleasant, friendly and enjoyed a great conversation. Food is great. Atmosphere could be better early morning, music was a little loud. Would be fine if it was a little later on in the day.

Great experience at the grain loft a few pints of morretti and a breakfast butty at 7am cant beat it , made better by kvis who has great customer service skills and makes sure you've got everything you need kvis deserves a raise great guy !

Good service by Kris! Keep it up.

Kris our waiter was very polite and friendly. Food was quick and lovely

Kris was amazing couldn’t fault him, great service by him👌🏻

Kris was a great server for us and overall service with drinks and food was nice and quick

Nice enough for a quick meal before a flight. Food came out worryingly quick - the nachos were soggy suggesting the plate had not been freshly made? Music is too loud. Will try somewhere else next time.

It’s really amazing to met new people that are so kind and nice and caring ! I went to this lovely restaurant before flying to Greece ! I met this amazing and sweet man named Costas which is Greek and we had such a good chat about Greece people and life ! His survive was very good and smiley and his vibes are very positive and I just love to met people like him ! So next time will be definitely coming back to the grain loft not only for the good breakfast I eat but to see Costas again ! Thank you so much I feel grateful 🙏

very good service from Costa, kind and humorous

Kostas karkaroumbas extremely helpful and friendly

Good food and great service by Kris

Great place for have English Breakfast at the airport. We got service from Kris, he was very friendly and nice.

Kris was very attentive and helpful.

Overpriced food, badly poured guinness, pg tips tea, food and drinks not arriving together. If other places are less busy go there

Don't wait to be seated as the sign asks as no one will ever seat you as it's been order by app for a good few years and I had the pleasure of telling many diners this over an hour as was seated by the entrance watching them queue up.

Kris service and hospitality was awesome He is very friendly Food was also very tasty and good

Lovely experience before we fly! Kris provided lovely service. Very smiley and friendly. Thanks so much

Kris is a friendly and polite waiter, very hardworking :)

Lovely place, brilliant service, food came quick. Definitely recommend. We was served by Kris who was also lovely :)

We were flying out from Manchester early morning and Kostas made our day! Wow! He went over and beyond with customer service. He was super nice, chatty and always willing to help. Our order came extremely fast. Food was delicious! Like never before and Prossecco was just delightfull it was a cherry on top! Thank you so much Kostas!!!

Overall it was a very disappointing experience. The portion was laughably small for a breakfast main especially given the price. Not to mention that my coffee was cold before I even started drinking it. I was left hungry, with a bad coffee and thoroughly disappointed having spent far too much for the pleasure.

Good food, arrived quickly. Thanks to Kris, very friendly, speaks many languages. Nice experience.

Amazing customer service from Kris this morning, make sure this chap gets some recognition!

Kris provided some great service

I chose the recommended fish and chips. I was given what is beyond a doubt the worst piece of fried fish I've ever seen. Tiny. Cooked to annihilation and then cooked for a couple more hours. Mostly skin. So tough that the knife provided wouldn't cut through it so I had to pick it up and bite it. I've never sent food back in my life but the only reason I didn't today was we have a plane to catch and weren't sure if we'd have time to wait for a replacement.

Of the many taps, only a fraction of the beers are actually available. The long bar is just for show. Order & pay via qr code

Not the fault of the over worked limited staff but a rip off disappointing venue. I had a pint of madri which was flat and my wife had a gin and tonic with dirty black specs floating around. The price was over £16 . Atrocious . It did T help that all the other bars in T1 decided to close at 8pm.of all times when the airport was full of passengers from delayed flights due to fog. All I can say is I'm glad we were flying out to somewhere in the EU more reasonable,cleaner and better atmosphere.

Waiter slammed down plate for part of food to fall off onto floor. Didn’t stop apologise just walked off. When complained to staff asking for fresh food . Very reluctant to refund or give fresh food. Eventually allowed for two hash browns to be made fresh and offered a glass of Prosecco. Prosecco never turned up

Ignorant arrogant woman behind the bar unprepared to help me order drinks with an app who responded with smart arse commments

Good food before flight. Kris was very nice and helpful.

I chose this place over all the others in the airport every time purely based on my experiences with staff. Customer service is excellent, nothing is too much trouble and the staff cannot do enough for you. Along with that comes great food and it never takes to long to arrive. Huge respect for a bloke who works there named kostas who appears to look after everyone who walks in and is very very accommodating. If you get to read this, thank you.

Great service food came super fast great help from Katy and Adam when I was Struggling ordering will definitely go again

Food was great compliments to the kitchen staff, Fast service, The staff are friendly and helpful, Adam and Katy helped with my ordering Provided excellent service I’ll definitely recommend The grain loft again 10/10

Shocking food. Very dirty. Plate had never been washed. Ask for refund. Apparently dish washer was broken.

Extortionate for a pump cocktail that tastes rubbish. Flat coke.

Attended this morning 9th December 10:40am. The bar area was empty except one woman being served by a gentlemen. The other young female bartender was making drinks for table service. After nearly 5 minutes of this male bar staff dealing with the rude elderly customer he finally finished serving her then walked off. I still stood there for a further 2 minutes watching the young bar tender continue with other drinks preparation. At this point another young male came up to the counter to order drinks. She immediately stopped what she was doing and served him. I actually was gobsmacked and said are you for real I’ve been waiting here for over 5 minutes. No apology or anything so I just walked off without ordering and turned back to see her smiling and chatting to the young chap.

So £11.15 got gin in pop glass and no lime Went to order at bar said table service only, sat there called waiter over told oh no order by bar code on phone. Worked way through then waited over 7 minutes for this poor excuse of a drink Avoid Grain Loft like the plague

Unfortunately the food quality very poor, service equally as poor, staff completely uninterested in the job, little customer service skills, would not recommend or eat here ever again.

Big place, nice setup with lots of tables and power sockets. However the me u is very limited to vegetarian. Ended up with just garlic bread and cookie. Good place if u eat meat/ chicken as even salads are with. Chicken

Staff could do with some hospitality training, Burger was barely warm and for £7 a pint would be nice if they could fill.it.to the top

Kris was an absolute Gem, Amazon service lovely start to the holiday what great customer service

Been here multiple time usual stuff. Airport prices for breakfast. The service from Kris is great. He is also attentive and very friendly. The food can be improved. Especially the wilted spinach and the edamame avocado in the breakfast plate.

Perfectly acceptable for airport food. It was quick, okay pricing and delicious enough. Our server, Kostas, was great as well

Part of priority pass but refused service 'because they didn't know the password on their terminal'. That's your problem!

Had breakfast with my granddaughter, it was really busy but we didn't have to wait overly long before we got our food, which was hot & delicious.

Waited 30 minutes and food didn't arrive.

Flat beers + didn't get what food we ordered, they just brought something else because they didn't have what we ordered and couldn't understand why we didn't like that due to an intolerance. Thanks for the stomach ache. Avoid at all costs

Disappointing food. Cauliflower curry had no pickles but stated on menu it did (apparently no option to be removed when run out) chicken and bacon ciabatta was dry and not toasted. Larger was also flat

After a delayed flight, decided to get some breakfast here and it was great. We was greeted by Kostas who was friendly and he and his team were really efficient in serving us and clearing the tables.

Kostas was super friendly and really helpful, he even gave us some tips for our holiday!

Fantastic welcome and service from Kosta Kakaroumbas he is a credit to your business thanks Kosta let’s hope I get you serving me next time thanks

Every time I go to the grainloft Kostas always goes above and beyond to make sure it’s quick service and I have everything I need!! Never met a harder worker than him

To start off the music was far too loud for 4.00am in the morning. Ordered drinks and food that came fairly quick but was only just warm on arrival. On the big breakfast it said with toast and my partner had received two slices within seconds the manager came over and said you only get only slice and was about to take away the toast !!! He then walked away saying I don't make the rules !! £45 out of pocket shalt be eating here again very disappointing

Ordered nachos. Chips were of extremely poor quality. My wife had a preference to not have onion and garlic but the server just asked us to check allergen menu. Coffee machine was broken and I had to queue up to get a refund.

This is no disrespect to the staff, but this place is chaos. Firstly we were warned the waiting time was 20 mins for food. We accepted this. Only table free was covered in dirty crockery and cutlery. We had to ask twice for it be cleaned. The seating is in an appalling condition. They're faux leather, which have no leather and are cracked. As we were logging onto App, 2 tables around us told us the real wait was longer than 30 mins. Then a bonus. The table behind has ordered 2 breakfasts but had waited so long they had to leave for their flights. They hadn't touched them and offered them to us! Thank goodness we hadn't paid for the food it was beyond disgusting. Catering sausages just top the list of a very unpleasant plate of food that would have cost £17!!! The drinks we ordered took 20 mins, but we're fine. Avoid this place at all cost it is disgusting and I feel sorry for the staff who work there!

Extremely disappointed. Have used this store previously with no issues however today we had to leave before our order was received as our flight was on final call. I went to the bar to ask for our order to be cancelled and explained why and the girl was extremely rude, I was told to go to the middle desk and wait for the manager but this could take 5 minutes. I asked if there was any way this could be done any quicker as we had to catch our flight to which she rudely replied with attitude ‘I’ve told you.. go to the middle desk and wait’. She was extremely rude and unhelpful. We waited aslong as we could and no one arrived to refund us so we had to leave as we couldnt wait any longer. We paid £40 for food and drinks which we did not receive.

Olga was amazing, fantastic service.

Great bar, good food and great service from olga

Awful food felt totally robbed spending £9 on the worst breakfast sandwich I've ever had, you're better off at Burger King. Pity as staff seem great and it's a nice place to spend some time before your flight.

Pretty dire and overpriced 'eatery'. Just had a full English. Cheapest sausages known to man (even worse than motorway services), cold eggs and cold toast. Drinks arrived- my Latte was okay but my wife's supposed 'hot' chocolate was cold too. And they have the audacity to tout for a tip when selecting food. And thirty something quid for what we had is pretty criminal. 2/10 Need to try MUCH harder.

Bar staff unable to take order from a human being. Told to go to table and scan qr code we did so and waited over 20 mins for 2 beers to arrive the food we ordered tuned up after 18 minutes

Nice atmosphere and well food Kostas so thank you foe the service

Worst food I have had in a restaurant for many years. Have asked for a refund and still waiting at the table. You have a captive customer base here but the lack of care is shocking.

Excellent service by Sam. When I was asked if there are any alternative for chips, I was served with the chips I loved eating when I was a kid. And the kitchen staff too made sure my food’s been made without Bacon. Would visit again!

Kris is a very good worker, he is very quick, polite and efficient.

Perfectly acceptable for airport food. It was quick, okay pricing and delicious enough. Our server, Kris, was great as well

Food was good and service was quick. Liked the QR code to order, made things simple. Kris was friendly and made us laugh.

Kris was the best! 10/10 would recommend! Lovely sausages

Kris provided excellent service and was very helpful. Thank you.

Filthy, stacked empty plates, sticky tables and half eaten food over the Tables. I wouldn’t go back if it was Free!!

Jude was brilliant welcoming and such a laugh 😃

Kris was my server, super friendly guy and we practised Spanish together. Would recommend

Amazing service by Krish, very friendly, definitely come again☺️

Tiffany was most helpful and cheerful

As Airport Eateries go, the Grain Loft is probably the best place to go in Manchester Airport. There are plenty of tables/seats, you order from your Table via QR Code (so no waiting for Waitresses)👍 and the food is delivered pretty quickly. The Coffee is good, the food is fine (I only tried a Sausage Barm, and it was good 👍). The Bill for a Sausage Barm, a glass of Pure Orange and a Latte was £14.49, which for an Airport is what you'd expect to pay.

Ridiculous wait time for a couple of drinks (30 minutes), actually going to the bar is not allowed, must be ordered by app, certainly doesn't speed things up!

Very poor service!! Been trying to order breakfast for last 30 minutes, went up to bar serval times and wasn’t very helpful. We missed out on breakfast… kitchen staff couldn’t do me a bacon roll even those member of staff asked them & explained to staff we’ve been here over 30 minutes! What absolutely joke.

Great service by Tiffany today, lovely food, quick service

We arrived at 4.am on Friday morning. There were around 6 members of staff. They were all bickering with each other and nobody seemed to want to be there .The way the manager spoke to his staff was disgraceful. The food was very quick to arrive and the entire thing looked microwaved! Even though there were staff lingering around , the manager said we had to order through the app instead of taking our order directly which was Difficult if you have an older phone . The girl with glasses on behind the bar had a right attitude on her too! Wouldn’t entertain eating here again.

Great service by Kris and lovely food.

Jude at the front was absolutely amazing he was very welcoming and helpful with service he was very happy and cheery! Great atmosphere :)

Decent food but have to pay the airport tax

Raymond was lovely. Food and drinks were tasty and reasonably priced!

Kostas was so friendly, really made the start of our holiday at T1! The service was so quick and the food was lovely!

Great help from Tiffany sorting out our missing drinks

Lovely early morning pre flight breakfast. Tiffany was so helpful, thank you!

Kris who served me was very polite and friendly.
