I want sure what to expect when booking a table here, but it exceeded any expectations I had. The food was sensational quality and staff could not have been more helpful. Happy to recommend.

Hosted a successful 'friendsmas' celebration of 13 people in Trof's private dining room at the top of the building in December. Everything from booking the room to paying at the end of the night was seamless and we couldn't have been more happy with the experience we had. Having the room booked for 2.5 hrs, we were able to use the facilities to host a Christmas quiz with our group and play our own music through their sound system which was a bonus. All of us were impressed by the attentiveness of the staff and the amazing food we were served. Some of our group had dietary requirements which they were more than happy to accommodate. Special food mentions go to baileys tiramisu and the Christmas dinner roast potatoes.

Had a lovely chilled afternoon in Trof Manchester today 18/01/25 Mat C, the lovely girl behind the bar and lovely beanie hat boy looked after us so well. Service was impeccable efficient without being intrusive. The Caesar Salad was to die for and the French Martinis and Brambles were some of the best we've tasted Thanks again for looking after us on what appeared to be an exceptionally busy Saturday afternoon. Our absolute go to venue when we're in town xxx Highly recommend the food the drinks rhe Venue the vibe If I could add more stars I absolutely would

- crispy pork £19 - topside beef £20 following trof’s many positive reviews and even claims it is the best roast in the city, i had high expectations. it is recommended to book especially for its sunday roast; we came as a spontaneous walk-in but we were seated quickly within 10 mins. the rustic candlelit vibes made it very cosy but it is a tight squeeze and the tables were tiny so it was a struggle to eat a roast out of all things. moving onto the food, the meat portion was generous but there were not enough of the sides to pair with it especially the potatoes which there were only 3 of. i would say the pork was better than beef but that is typically my preference anyways! the gravy was flavourful and a good consistency (no water gravy here) but they serve it poured on which made the potatoes soggy. other than the gravy, i found the roast quite bland and plain as i kept having to add salt + pepper often which i never usually do. i wanted to try their sticky toffee pudding but they were sold out already at 5pm alongside the lamb and even the cauliflower cheese by the time we left.

We went here for an early Xmas dinner thinking it was going to be amazing from the reviews. First of all... the place was freezing. We were all sat there dithering. We said to the waitress the place was really cold and she said 'I know' ! She did however go and ask for some heating to be put on We ordered off the Xmas menu then 10 minutes later they came back and said we couldn't have it because we hadn't pre ordered and the Xmas menu was only given to us for the drinks (we'd told them why we were going on booking and weren't told we had to pre order) All the time this was going on we still hadn't received our drinks we'd ordered 25 mins prior. We all ended up ordering starters and Sunday roast. It took 45 minutes for the starters to come and a further 20 minutes for the main. The 'pink' beef was far from pink but tough and well done. The 'crispy' pork did not have an ounce of crisp to it. Yorkies were flat and burnt and the veg bland. We left very disappointed and won't be returning. There are far superior places to visit

They were extremely busy on the day we were booked in (and you can understand why!) but the vibe was great, staff were attentive enough but also were not on our backs to get the table back. It was super relaxed and perfect for a Sunday night! Only problem that there was no cauli cheese, serves us right for booking at 6pm! (Will defo book again soon and earlier!!)

I chose to have a Sunday dinner here because it was rated on the top 10 best Sunday roast in Manchester. Lovely ambience and staff were lovely. I think I expected it to be amazing but it was just ok, Veggies and gravy were nice but the meat was stringy and cauliflower cheese wasn’t that great at all. Expensive compared to other places for a roast dinner so not somewhere I will return.

I decided to book here for a Sunday roast for my boyfriend and I, as we were staying in a hotel nearby. All of the reviews said how lovely the food was so we were really looking forward to it We arrived about 5-10mins early and got ourselves a drink by the bar before our table was ready. Once it was, we were shown to our table and our food order was taken. I had the chicken roast, and my boyfriend had the beef, we decided to share a cauliflower cheese also. We didn't have too long to wait before our meals arrived and everything looked so good. As soon as we tucked in, we didn't say a work to each other for the rest of the meal- we didn't want to stop eating! Everything was so gorgeous. We were checked upon by a waiter and we requested some more gravy, which arrived shortly after. The waiter was genuinely really lovely and the food was the best Sunday roast we've had the pleasure to have. We'll make sure to visit again!

I’d organised a meeting here with up to 18 work colleagues from about 5.30pm but got here 4.15 with a friend, we ordered a couple of drinks in the downstairs bar and decided to explore the other two floors, there’s a small open air seating area on the next floor and a nice big room with a well stocked bar. After 6 I was glad to see another 4 work mates arrive and we all had some food, me just triple cooked chips which although tasty were a bit greasy for my liking but I heard the burgers were delicious. There’s a happy hour from 4-9 but this didn’t include bottles just cocktails and pints but it’s a very good deal for the city centre. TROF is nice, bare wooden floors, bare brick walls and friendly staff, it’s hard to stand out from the endless bars on Thomas St but TROF does a very good job. I’m sure it gets hammered after 8 on weekends. I’ll definitely be back.

Decided to catch up with my wife for a late Saturday afternoon drink and bite to eat. Thought we would try the NQ as we rarely go to that end of town. Trof was our choice and they did not disappoint. The wine recommendation was spot on, we had some lovely starters, a salad main for my wife and the fish and chips with side curry sauce for me. All cooked to perfection. My only criticism was that I would have loved the curry to be a little more spicy but that is personal preference. Jacob our server was very friendly and helpful as were the rest of the staff.

After spending ages seeking a dog friendly restaurant in Manchester, we found Trof. It was very busy but we were soon seated and being served by Megan. Megan was very friendly and efficient and we had our drinks in no time! A good by the glass wine list, well stocked bar and great menu. We both had the steak frites which was done to pink perfection. Crisp frites and a delicious leaf salad with orange dressing that really complemented the tender steak. Everything was perfectly seasoned; delicious. Oscar our Cockerpoo cross, happily sat under the table but enjoyed an ear tickle from Megan. Lovely little venue. Truly dog friendly (we were not the only dog in the bar) and very welcoming. Thanks Megan!

They recommended it to us for their Sunday Roast, which they cook with the typical bread called Yorkshire pudding. Highly recommend this puffed bread. However, I have given the food a low rating because the ox, the roast beef, was not of excellent quality. For my taste, it was meaty. I'm not much of a meat person but I love a good roast beef, and this was not the case. For the rest, all good!

I haven’t been to this eatery for a long time. When friends have suggested to go to Trof for Sunday lunch because reviews were not bad, we went. Service staff and atmosphere were friendly and nice, sadly I can’t say the same with the food! We all agreed that the gravy was very salty, and it wasn’t served in a jug, it was poured over the roast potatoes, vegetables as well as the meats, it has made the crispy potatoes soggy and the belly pork skin wet and chewy, we thought it was bacon wrapped round the meat! The waitress was very kind to replace it with a fresh piece of pork with the crackling. Sadly, the meat was totally dry and tasteless. I have to say that it was the worst Sunday lunch I have had.

Chai latte and hot choco is so good. They also provide many gluten free food and healthy options. The only tiny inconvenience is if you order gluten free food you need to walk to the counter, as opposed to simply ordering online or with a waiter at the table.

Lovely place, cute decor with nice lights; the staff were friendly but not overbearing. The food was good, but not mind-blowing; the black pudding and bacon fritters were the best of the bunch for us- but wouldn’t bother with the side of greens with bacon if we came again.

The woman serving me (Tracy) made a snarky and racist remark about my background, despite being a person of colour herself! very unprofessional of her, i hope she's aware this is not okay despite of what others may have thought of her food.

We were a group of 14 who went for a cheese fondue night to reminisce about past ski trips. The booking process was excellent with quick and informative responses from Sam to help organise everything. The food was very good, the fondues were nice and the bread, salami and (especially) crispy roast potatoes went very well with it. Not sure about the crackers though, we couldn't understand that :-). The atmosphere was warm, buzzy and friendly and the staff brilliant, very attentive and efficient. We had quite a few drinks and spent a very reasonable we thought £31pp incl. tip, great value for central Manchester on a Saturday night. Definitely recommended, thanks guys!
