The Wishing Well in Manchester

All Sunday roast ingredients absolutely brilliant and tasty 17th Dec'23. Thoroughly recommend for food quality and staff friendliness. Will be returning.

Food and drinks were very good in a really nice atmosphere. It should be said that our waitress Francesca was incredibly warm and conscientious. Overall a very pleasant evening with the family.

Really bad meal. Cold and bad quality food. Went for Sunday roast and was reheated food and tough meat. Burger was some sort of reconstituted substance. There were four of us and no e of us could eat our meals and sent it all back. Weren’t charged for the food but very disappointing experience. Also ran out of desserts and our booking was 1.30! Would not recommend.

Absolutely the best waiter ever. We had the most drinks served in one and a half hours. Drunk what we are and that is what we intended. Happy is what we are x

We did the bottomless brunch as a group of 6 girls. Amazing experience. Tom our host was fab constantly kept us filled up with Prosecco and cocktails. Food was also lovely. Best bottomless brunch I have done!

Amazing!! Love the waiters they are ace! Awesome service and great food choices available. I reaally rate this place! Xx

This pub is nice inside. The food we had was piping hot and tasty, very small menu though and not cheap prices. Drinks ok.however one thing that really niggled me is soon as we were seated we were asked if we would like some water. We said yes, i was looking at the menu choosing food when said water arrived. It was only after i had started sipping it that i realised we has been brought a large bottle of mineral water that we were charged for. I think this is very sneaky. If asking diners if they want water it should be made clear its bottled water and chargeable. Its put me off going back to be honest.

Pre football Saturday lunch - despite waiting 40 minutes for food (it wasn’t busy) the chicken and bacon Alfredo linguine arrived almost cold We visit a lot for drinks and like the atmosphere such a shame they can’t get the food right - we didn’t get an apology

Our first visit to The Wishing Well in Didsbury left us with mixed feelings. While our initial experience had some issues, I must commend the restaurant gor their exemplary handling of our complaint. Upon raising our concerns, the staff was quick to address them, going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. Their responsiveness and dedication to resolving the situation left a positive impression, showing their commitment to customer service. We recently dined at the Wishing Well and while the food was decent, it didn't quite wow us. The Ribeye steaks were perfect but the risotto and breast of chicken gnocchi was very salty and seemed rushed. However, I must say the service was exceptional, and the drinks were top-notch. The attentive staff, in particular the management staff (Nathan) and his colleagues. Fantastic cocktails, lovely atmosphere and attentive staff definitely elevated the overall experience.

I was taken by surprise When we booked in to this pub i am sure it was different to my previous visit a few years ago Anyway it turned out lovely I had fish and chips it wasn't what was on the menu I was choosing sea bass but it wasn't available on the day but still I enjoyed my fish and chips anyway Dessert was lovely to set menu price are available one of which we had two courses for 20 quid not to bad

Really great good quality nice food been for Sunday lunch and weekday meal both fabulous, relaxed and great service. Thank you

Francesca made our little family reunion all that more pleasurable, with her warm smile and very attentive service. The food was great and remarked upon by all, so, the next time I'm lucky enough to be in that part of the world, I'll be back. Thanks again!

Really lovely setting and a great spot for a drink. Service from Rosa was great, extremely attentive and friendly. Food in the past has been much better. Feels like standards drop when the restaurant is busier and it could be a lot better quality.

Delicious Sunday roasts - as a family we tried the beef, lamb and chicken pie. All were amazing. Piping hot and generous portions. They have the atmosphere just right. Cosy and welcoming without being cramped and the varied music is at the right volume. A warm welcome from Izzy on arrival and Rosa looked after us really well at our table. All the staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. The Wishing Well martini is gorgeous! First visit - will definitely return!

Had a lovely Saturday afternoon for bottomless brunch. Drinks were always full and Tom was very attentive ;)

Did bottomless brunch with school mums, great time, great food and service was spot on. Staff very friendly and helpful

We reserved a table at The Wishing Well for a meal prior to a visit to the theatre, unfortunately we were delayed in traffic, we called the restaurant and Francesca was so helpful, she took our order over the phone and our meals were ready...

Francesca was amazing. The best customer service I have experienced in a long time. She is an asset to the business and a shining example of customer service.

We enjoyed a nice relaxed family meal. With a young children. Food was nice and good value. Francesca’s service was Really friendly and responsive!!

Great food and lovely service from Tom. Nice atmosphere for Sunday lunch, will definitely come again. Good veggie options as well.

Lovely atmosphere and music. Food was great. I had the sharing platter and fish and chips. Francesca, our waitress, was excellent.

Spot is great for a few drinks with mates all days of the week. Shoutout to Francesca our waitress - very attentive :)

Returned again, 2nd visit now, always good to have a comparison. Must say not disappointed, pretty consistent, from front of house, table service to food. We were greeted by Sisara who was very accommodating and unfazed as we were an hour early, clearly has control...

We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. Tom was our waiter and he couldn’t have been more attentive to our complicated requirements! Will definitely recommend this pub for a Sunday dinner and will consider it for future meals!

We met for a 6.30 early meal . The menu had pub classics (not the full menu) however the food was AMAZING! I had Mussels for starter and I've never tasted a better jus. Served with hunks of sourdough bread. My friend started with a...

Great place! Fabulous food. Lovely atmosphere. Tom was a superstar. I hear he plays the piano too!! Will definitely return

Great value - wonderful service by Tom who demonstrated the often lost art of enjoying making his customers feel extremely welcome.

Kerim is not only handsome but a very polite and friendly waiter. An asset to the wishing well. What a charming gentleman!

The customer service was great, the people were friendly and our waitress Rosa was helpful and kind to our children. Only thing I kept doing was hitting the lamp shade as I kept getting out of my seat. 😂

Three (older) family members had cause to cold call for dinner on 17th May. Jess looked after us, and can only be described as super pleasant, attentive and an excellent waitress! A good wine list, fairly priced - and a balanced menu gave us a...

We really enjoyed The Wishing Well, nice food and ambience but great service from Jess really made the visit. She was attentive, friendly and efficient. Would recommend!

We really enjoyed our lunch at this new gastro pub in Didsbury. The service provided by Jess was excellent and the food was delicious. We will return and I think it might be a new favourite.

Great food, great atmosphere. Service a bit slow but waiter Daniel kept us updated and apologised so we didn’t mind. Will defo re-visit :)

Amazing food and friendly helpful staff. Were very accommodating of change to one of the dishes and as a result both dishes were delicious and suitable for dairy-free diet! Nice live music on a Friday night. Will be back :)

A lovely pub with brilliant food. The service is exceptional, the staff cannot do enough to help. Sat in the sun enjoying a lovely drink and food. Will definitely be a regular visitor

What a wonderful welcome, I love when you're greeted with a smile. The bar has a good selection of drinks and helpful staff. I will definitely try the food next time. Great addition to Didsbury.

Fantastic pub and a lovely setting. The food was amazing, and we felt welcomed from the moment we walked in. Great ambience with friendly staff. Highly Recommend and would definitely go back when I'm in Didsbury again.

AMAZING FOOD !!! Have eaten with the family on 2 occasions recently and the food has been delicious, had the sharing platter and the chicken tenders, both were amazing with a lovely tarragon dip. Main course we ate the burger, which was excellent and the...

Stunning venue located in didsbury Fantastic food and a lengthy cocktail list filled with must trys including a butterscotch martini and a summery refreshing cucumber cooler! Definitely worth a visit, or several!

Great new restaurant in the area with parking close by. Greeted by lovely waiter and looked after by several lovely members of the team throughout our visit. Faultless food in a relaxing casual atmosphere. We can recommend the ham, eggs and chips, rib eye steak...

Visited here for dinner with my Daughter on a Wednesday evening and had a lovely experience. For starters we had the chicken kebabs and chicken tenders which were both cooked beautifully. The mains we went for were the Steak Pie and the Fish & Chips....

Two of us went for dinner here on the opening night. The place had a nice buzz, although it was a bit chaotic. A chef appeared at our table and apologised for our prawns (we hadn’t eaten at this point - he had the wrong...
