Whilst I might appear to be a philistine my wife and I were underwhelmed by the “experience “ which is akin to saying the emperor is not wearing any clothes , the menu was hit and miss some very good options and some poor eg the broth which was a bit like oxo ! The staff were pleasant however it was irritating too see them cleaning up to get away early whilst we were finishing our desserts , the toilets were poor and the room was cold towards the latter end of the evening, it is an experience but so is bungee jumping !

Absolutely amazing. Staff were so friendly and informative. I love that everything for everything on your plate you are told where it’s been sourced from and why. We went for the mixed pairing, so soft drinks and alcohol, and it was perfect. What an experience! I am vegetarian and coeliac, but we booked for my partner’s birthday and he eats everything. It was so nice that he could enjoy his fish and meat whilst I was looked after as well with my dietary requirements. We had the best time. Yes, it’s pricey, but you get what you pay for and then some. It’s an experience and the food and attention to detail is just wonderful.

I recently dined here with my Dad for my 18th birthday. And I must say, it was amazing. As soon as we entered the building, everyone was very welcoming and friendly. They all knew my name, and that it was my birthday, which was lovely. We got to sit at the seats where you can see the chefs prepare the food which was very entertaining to watch. There is no menu for this restaurant, so we ordered some drinks, and then they started to bring our food out. There was about 9 or so courses, and they were all outstanding and very exciting. I particularly enjoyed the lobster and monkfish. They were excellent catering for my gluten allergy, as everything thing they served for my Dad, they served for me but gluten free, including fresh bread and cakes. The atmosphere was fantastic, and i loved the fact we got to speak to the chefs about the food and where it is sourced from ect. They were all lovely. We were eating for about 3 hours, so there was no rush and we enjoyed it for the whole evening. And to top it off, the head chef brought me a little whisk as a present for my birthday, which made it that much better. Overall a very special and memorable experience. 10/10 would recommend.

Visited for a birthday meal recently and had the best experience. Not only the food was incredible, the wine was carefully paired and explained and the service was brilliant. It’s fascinating how the dishes are created, how ingredients are sourced and the whole ethos of the place. Really special place and experience.

I was lucky enough to go to WTLGI this week with my son and daughter to mark a very special family occasion, and all I can say is WOW!!!! From the moment you enter the building which externally has shall we say “character” to the inside which is simply stunning, you are treated to a culinarily and sensual treat. The staff are incredibly attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable without being condescending and the explanations of the food and its journey from source to plate combined and wine pairings were absolutely perfect. You are always not sure what to expect with a blind tasting but I would say this was one of the top 2 meals of my life! The food was INCREDIBLE and displayed many techniques but felt effortless for the team (with an open kitchen you can see everything)they are that good!! Also what was nice is that although the meal is very much fine dining my 6ft4 son left saying he literally couldn’t eat anymore so all in all perfect. WTLGI provides guests an interesting, intelligent and highly skilled tasting menu combined with incredible drinks what more could you ask for!! And all in SK1😊 Thank you Becky, Anna, Matt, Callum and the incredible team of chefs for not just an amazing meal but for a memory my family and I will never forget it was WONDERFUL!!

We enjoyed lunch at WTLGI on Saturday and it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we arrived we were taken care of and treated to a faultless 10 course menu. The menu is incredible - we tried some amazing dishes and the drink options are extensive. I had let the staff know in advance that I am pregnant and they had gone to every length to ensure I could enjoy as unique a dining experience as my friends. Not only did I feel reassured that it was no extra trouble (it quite clearly was!) but I also don't think I've ever experienced customer service like it. They'd considered everything and discussed my options up front with me. I can't wait to return in the future for the full dining experience with wine pairing!

We’ve been visiting WTLGI about once a year since it opened. It’s always something to look forward to, although the nature of the experience means we wouldn’t really want to be coming more often. And that’s in spite of the absolutely excellent feeling of hospitality – service is completely on the ball with everything happening just as it should. And I like the fact that staff remember your names and address you by them. And introduce themelves as well. It’s a good touch. Food continues to be by way of a tasting menu running to twelve courses, if you count snacks, bread and the like as being courses. At first glance, dishes may appear quite straightforward but look a little deeper and you see top quality ingredients, imagination and some considerable skill. This is what the menu said we had to eat, which includes produce from The Landing (their own kitchen garden built on top of the Merseyway precinct’s car park) and Yellowhammer (their own bakery) Tomato, woodruff Monkfish cheek, preserved blood orange Carlingford Oyster, orange leaf Tellowhammer bread & butter Asparagus, Landing flowers Lettuce, pil-pil Cornish lobster, Tomalley Sladesdown duck Kebab on the way home Orange leaf parfait Burnt honey custard slice Woodruff chouquette As with every longish tasting menu, there are some dishes you’re going to like more than others. There was nothing we didn’t like (so that was a result in itself) but there were some stand-outs. For example, the tomato dish that kicked off the meal. Now, you might wonder how English cherry tomatoes in early June can possibly be a WOW dish. What they do is skin them and lightly dehydrate them to concentrate the flavour but not so much that it particularly affects the texture. They are served in a “tomato water” which is the absolute essence of tomato. Then there was a single oyster, served on the half shell. It had been lightly poached in a blood orange leaf sauce (Sicilian blood orange is the only citrus currently being used in the kitchen). Then there were the two duck dishes, served together. For one, the duck crown had been cooked outside on the BBQ, which is set up on the first floor landing. There was a lovely smell as you carefully climbed the uneven steps outside up to the second floor restaurant. It’s perfectly pink, with crispy skin and served with a chimichurri sauce, that was full of flavour but was, perhaps, just the wrong side of being too vinegary. And for the second there was a very long cooked ragu, made from the gizzard and heart, wrapped up in a small flatbread (just as you might get from the local kebab shop). Both dishes were just lovely in their individual ways. They come back to the use of that blood orange for the first dessert – the parfait has a perfect consistency and just the right balance between sweet and the citrus sharpness. Congrats to the pastry chef, Jess. As always, it had been an interesting and enjoyable evening.

Fantastic celebration meal at WtLGI. This is hands down one of the best meals/tasting menus we've ever eaten. They catered to my wifes vegetarianism well with the dishes being the same excellent quality. The venue is relaxed (based in an old warehouse off a back Stockport street) and casual but with attentive and polite service. An excellent themed menu throughout the evening with not a single course being anything but excellent. The food was chosen with passion, sustainability and care and the staff were knowledgeable and explained the menu well. The drinks paired well and we sampled some unique beverages! We're lucky to have such a gem on our door step. Perfect.

A relaxed yet elevated dining experience, the team here are definitely focused on delivering not only a fine dining tasting platter but also engaging the customer in the journey of the food and wine. It was such a relaxed experience even though you are literally in the kitchen and watching how they prepare and deliver your food. The food may seem small but the flavour certainly packs a punch and if you really want yo elevate your experience then get the wine pairing and enjoy the delicate and robust flavours that it brings to the dining.

My partner and I have visited twice now, once for his birthday as a surprise in April 2023 and because we loved it so much we went again for our anniversary in September 2023. Both times have been such memorable experiences. Not only do we love the 9 course menu which changes constantly, but the staff and the ambience at this restaurant is just perfect. It feels so special because they only do a certain number of covers each night, so there’s no rush and chefs visit your table to talk about every dish…I’ve never experienced it anywhere else and it’s truly a very special place. I love how open and rustic the restaurant feels, the kitchen is right in front of you so you feel like you’re really amongst it all. I tend to go for the vegetarian version of the menu, and the first time we went my partner said he was jealous of some of my dishes! You certainly don’t miss out if you don’t eat meat. I have been absolutely blown away by the food served here and what makes it even better is you know it was grown locally or ethically sourced. On top of this, my partner has a disability and we never once felt that staff didn’t make the effort to accommodate him….we love it here and will try to save up and come at least 1-2 times a year from now on.

Cracking restaurant in a lovely setting. Service is excellent and is just the right side of friendly, but not over friendly. The food is good, really good. The wine pairing menu is excellent. Highlights from our visit - the lobster crumpet, the monkfish, the duck and the orange ice cream. There are a few negatives,and whilst this is picky, at this price point its fair. The restaurant is not accessible up two flights of stairs, and whilst I accept its a facet of the building that's still the restaurants problem. Chairs are uncomfortable by the end of three hours. The music is just that bit too loud which meant we struggled to hear each other. As has been said it's fine dining, which means the portions are small. For me including bread as course, although very nice bread, is a cheat. That being said it's still the best meal I have had in Manchester for some time, and I will be returning at some point on a special occasion

We enjoyed our evening at this unique restaurant. The tables are all laid out with a view of the kitchen and the concept of each dish and where the ingredients were sourced is explained in detail. Staff were very attentive and polite. You do pay a high price for the freshly prepared, sustainability sourced food but in these tough times I suppose their expenses have gone up enormously. Still, expectations are high given the price. There was nothing I wouldn't eat but some dishes were better than others for sure. We were served maybe 9 or 10 plates altogether, some just being small snacks. We also got the dry pairing which I enjoyed thoroughly. It's £4 for water. On a critical note, I was getting full towards the end but my partner said he could have eaten more, so expect quality not quantity. I also really have to mention the chairs, were they made for people with no backside? I shuffled around feeling uncomfortable all evening. I've seen other reviews saying the music is loud and I agree, it was difficult to hear the explanations and each other even though we were sat directly next to each other. If English is your second language or you are hard of hearing, good luck.

Nothing short of amazing. I had purchased the visit as a Xmas gift for my son; a seat at the bar to the kitchen. I spoke to staff before hand and let them know of his interest in becoming a chef.

We were served eleven different dishes on our visit to Where The Light Gets In, our children had bought it for us as a Christmas gift so we splashed out on the wine pairing as well. It was a wonderful experience all the staff who served the various dishes and wines were passed on their knowledge with enthusiasm. Yes the portions are small but as I said we had 11 different things to enjoy. Overall a faultless and very enjoyable evening.

Overall a pleasant and interesting dining experience. The building is beautiful and there is a lovely feel and ambience to the restaurant, and the staff are all very attentive and knowledgeable. The food was a little more mixed however - a good number of the dishes were great, but there were others that didn't quite hit the mark and in some cases were just 'ok'. Considering the £125 pp cost before drinks, I don't think there is room really for any of the dishes to not have the wow factor. It is hard not to compare this to Higher Ground in Manchester City Centre where on 2 visits I have had a better overall standard of dishes (with no 'duds'} for less than half the price (served in a similar curated tasting menu style, with the same excellent service, perhaps in not quite as nice surroundings). This is still an interesting restaurant and a lovely experience but on the food side I don't think it lives up to the hype and there is better to be had in Manchester for less.

Incredible food, service & style. I have a mixture of allergies and intolerances and the service really shone through, they knew exactly what they were doing, catered to them amazingly well. I had no doubt every meal came through correctly. Didn’t feel like I missed out on anything. The drinks paired excellently, food was stunning and they even gave me a little jar of the mushroom parfait to take away as i commented that it was so good I’d buy it at their yellowhammer store. Which is just going the extra mile and was really appreciated. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

Customer service was good but not amazing, perhaps stressed as didn’t seem to enjoy interacting with us. The food didn’t impress. Seems like the ingredients are cheap and courses basic but served as fine dining. Loved couple of courses but then thinking how much we paid left me with bitter feeling of being overcharged. Dined it other fine dining restaurants and that gives us pretty good comparison of what to expect. PS. Massive mould on the wall is a health hazard and it is just black patch in the corner of the ceiling.

We have been wanting to come here for ages and we were not at all disappointed. The setting is fantastic with easy parking across the road (council car parking, but plenty of spaces when we arrived for a Saturday lunch). The room is incredible and on a sunny day, certainly lived up to the name "Where the light gets in". The choice of background music was very enjoyable, although for a few songs it did sound a tiny bit loud and I found it difficult to hear the description of what we were served for one course. The staff were fantastic: very knowledgeable, attentive and helpful. The good itself was really great. The deep fried oyster was exceptional, one of the best things I have eaten in a fine dining restaurant. It was interesting to be served mutton as the main red meat dish which I thoroughly enjoyed, however for this course, a slightly larger portion would have been appreciated. The wine pairing was interesting with what felt like genuine descriptions of the wine by the staff (as opposed to the generic "minerality" and "herbaceous " which is all too common these days for wine pairings). Similarly, the non-alcoholic pairing was interesting and I would recommend it. To sum up: great food, a great venue and fantastic staff.

Beautiful food, lovely building and concept. The staff are the real stars of the restaurant. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and nothing was too much trouble for them. I think every single diner felt special under their care. It truly was five star service. The car park across the street is free after 18:00, and had ample spaces. It was an almost perfect visit. The chairs became uncomfortable after a few hours, but that may just be a symptom of our staying too long!

I booked where the light gets in for me and my husband's wedding anniversary. We didn't expect the restaurant to be as comfortable, cosy, and have a warming atmosphere, but it has that! It makes a refreshing change in contrast to going to other restaurants where they are formal, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you don't belong there. We were welcomed by James, who gave us a drink of duck consommé in which duck was a running theme and then led us to the chef's table. I loved seeing the chefs work their magic to music varying from funk, disco to rock. The chefs also played a part in service, which I was surprised but I enjoyed it, we got to see who was making our menu and also connect with them. Kemi and Becca served our drinks, and they are full of helpful information in regard to the drinks. Every dish didn't miss a beat. They were all delicious and fabulously presented. We enjoyed every minute, and it was so worth it. I love how they source local ingredients from their allotment in Stockport to a fishermen in Cornwall. Thank you for making our dining experience so wonderful WTLGI! I would do it again in a heartbeat.

We’ve been to this restaurant a few times now, it’s hard to not want to keep coming back. Setup in the same mentality of Michelin starred restaurants, to give an experience as much of a meal with the restaurant and kitchen essentially in the same room and chairs turned to face the kitchen to watch the action. It’s much more casual than some Michelin restaurants I’ve visited, which I very much enjoy. The room is a beautiful attic, a great setting and the staff incredibly attentive. The food is well thought through, a strong emphasis on sustainability as with many similar restaurants with incredible flavours. Portions are small, it is a tasting menu, but include several courses. You won’t leave stuffed but still well fed and very satisfied. Sitting at the kitchen table is good fun as you are right in the action and always interesting to watch how the dishes are constructed. It’s not for everyone and different people may have different expectations. The price reflects the experience and the work and ingredients that go into creating the dishes. But it is seriously good food and remains one of our favourite restaurants. I couldn’t recommend it higher for food lovers.

This restaurant underwhelms and is very pretentious. The 9 course tasting menu plus an amuse- bouche of duck broth is overpriced at £110, the amount shown on our bill not the website, and lacks imagination and flair. There is neither style nor elegance in the courses served. I suspect the ethos of sustainability overshadows any aspiration to a full Michelin Star as opposed to a green one. Each course, served approximately 20 to 25 minutes apart, and is given an explanation by the server, without which we would indeed be wondering what it was all about. But to start at the beginning. The amuse-bouche is served as you arrive at the foot of a metal staircase, so anyone with mobility issues please note, behind which is a barbecue so one hand rail is very hot, inside wood tables and chairs adequately spaced but note two of them are in full sun (WTLGI – yes I get it) if it’s a sunny day, pretty uncomfortable to eat at and nowhere to move them. The toilets are up another flight of stairs and the sink outside the toilets is two planks of wood which slope together, do I detect style over substance? On to the food itself; the main event after all. First is a pickle plate, six pieces a little bigger than a thumb nail and two carrots (dried?) about 2 inches by a ¼ inch with three spots of black garlic. Two oysters follow which were admittedly tasty then chunks of sourdough (from local Yellowhammer bakery) with duck rillette are next. Kholrabi with a gooseberry puree follows; gooseberries from a chap in Marple (sustainability). Cornish mackerel in a corn chowder was I felt a bit odd, we were told it also had mussels in it; my portion had half a mussel but for the life of me I couldn’t find any more. Then the main event; confit of duck leg finished somewhere to render down the fat and crisp up the skin. Needless to say neither mine nor my husband’s was rendered or crispy, such a classic rooky error, just undercooked fat – yuck. Finally an upside down plum cake which was admittedly light in texture but hardly palate cleansing. Oh and a cobnut macaron. Cheese is extra. Drinks? A 125ml glass of wine is between £12 and £19 and a bottle somewhere between £69 and £110, soft drinks and beer £6/7. Stockport’s finest (tap water) is free and plentiful. Regretfully I cannot recommend this restaurant nor, probably to their relief, will I be back.

What a great experience. I went with my fiancée for dinner as part of my 40th birthday celebration and we didn’t have a complaint about any part of the evening. From the welcome to leaving, the service was absolutely phenomenal and couldn’t have asked for more. The food was fantastic, very inventive and each dish was really well executed. The crackers that were served with the cheese course are amazing and made on site. I’ve never seen them before and would buy them by the case if they were on sale separately. Homemade by one of the team and worth ordering the cheese board just to try them. The place is very relaxed and feels welcoming. We were sat at the chef’s counter and could hear the chefs making changes to sauces etc during the cooking process. It’s not cheap but I think it was definitely worth the cost and we’ll definitely be returning for our next special occasion. Definitely worth a visit. Thanks to the team who looked after us.

Very disappointing. It had been recommended but wouldn’t go back again. Some courses didn’t taste good, one was far too salty, tiny portions, nothing wowed us. The first course was a few tiny pieces of pickled veg that didn’t taste good The second was one tiny carrot each, which didn’t taste that good Some parts of the menu did taste good but nothing exceptional

Lunch at WTLGI was an absolute delight this afternoon! Service was friendly and warm. The food was elegant, simple and satisfying. The sharing of knowledge about the food and drink we were consuming was refreshing and enriching to the whole experience. We left feeling indulged and nourished in equal measure!! Cant wait for the next visit. x

Hard to find words worthy of expressing how we felt at WTLGI. We could say we were transported to a whole different universe, embarking on a culinary adventure. The team behind the place is amazing, really kind and very passionate about their work. You can see that by talking with them, which you get the opportunity to while they bring out the small plates, 1 by 1, sharing the story behind each ingredient. We went here for the summer/autumn tasting menu but we also had a wine pairing. We tasted 5 wines which actually went really well with each of the meals so thumbs up to their sommelier. The wines also carried some interesting stories which were shared with us by a very kind and passionate Becca. I won't say much about the food, but it was definitely the best we've had so far, and knowing a bit about it's history adds so much more to the experience.

Once you get past the "interesting" location, our experience exceeded our expectations. I would recommend coming from the St Mary's church end, rather than the bottom of the road as it's quite steep and cobbled, which wasn't a good combination with heels! The dining room is light and airy and there was plenty of space between adjacent tables - which were all full during our visit. The open kitchen is fascinating to watch as the staff interact with the food and each other in an incredibly smooth way. The food was all delicious, interesting and thoughtfully selected to be both seasonal and as locally sourced as possible. Portions were fine, except for the main, which needed another slice of meat and some potatoes. I will definitely visit again.

The food was hit and miss, by far the best thing was the lobster crumpet which was exceptional. The mangalitza pork belly was very chewy and not cooked long enough. The wine pairing was very dissapointing and did not really complement the meal. The sommelier was also quite condescending and whilst knowledgeable gave the impression of not having actually tasted much wine. Overall dissapointing and not upto the standard I would expect.

We went to WTLGI for our anniversary and it was fantastic. The food was excellent. Good variety of flavours to try. The staff were delightful - they explained every dish to us and were friendly and welcoming throughout. They all felt relatively equal too, which improved the experience. For example, the chefs would occasionally bring meals to us and do exactly the same explainer as the waiting on staff. No one felt like they were “beneath” any particular task.

Only one problem for me which was the fact it's not disabled friendly. Great location in the top of an old mill , and I mean right at the top. As yet, no lift has been installed but hopefully this will happen in the future. It was a wonderful culinary experience with around ten tiny courses each one surpassing the last. Our party was in there for two and a half hours. The service staff told you about how each course was produced and grown as local as possible to make it sustainable. Even though it was a hike to get in to the restaurant , I will go again 😊

Perfect from start to finish. We went for our wedding anniversary and cannot fault anything. The food was exceptional. The mackerel dish was heavenly, the oysters delicious, the chestnut mushroom accompaniment to the sourdough bread was simply divine. The staff work cohesively as a team together and are friendly and knowledgeable. It has a relaxed atmosphere and isn’t pretentious like other fine dining establishments. The menu is varied and beautifully presented. Will definitely be returning in the autumn to sample the menu then.

We booked WTLGI a few months ago. There is a reasonable amount of time until one usually obtains a reservation which shows the restaurant is popular. A deposit is required on booking. On arrival we we shown to our table. We noticed all the tables/seating face the open kitchen which was a nice touch. The tasting menu comprised of 11 courses. We got matching wines with the courses. I usually don’t do the matching wines as it is probably cheaper to get a descent bottle or two if you chose your own. The “sommelier” spoke to us about each wine. I asked a couple of questions which let’s say had vague answers. A few wines were from the well known wine area of Poland! I wouldn’t recommend the matching wines and would rather see the wine list. The food was good to excellent. Not Michelin star quality on some courses but others were excellent. The first “pickle plate” was as what it says. Pickled veg cut into fancy ways on a plate. I could do the same if I bought a jar of pickles. The next plate, The Lobster Crumpet was excellent. Juicy Lobster on a small buttery crumpet.. delicious. Again some of the other dishes were ok to excellent. Lacking perhaps was another meat dish. The Braised Saddleback was just about good for the standard of food to expect. Maybe get rid of the Gem lettuce and replace it with a meat dish? Again the Gem lettuce was just ok. I would recommend to go for the dining experience. One particular let down is the service. The staff did serve the tables well and were well mannered. The sommelier was obviously told what to say. Towards the end of the meal the kitchen and waiting staff went into overdrive cleaning the kitchen as though they was in a rush to get home. Standing on the surfaces to wipe down shelving all done in a military manner. It didn’t take long to clean the kitchen but I think they may have waited another 30 mins or so till everyone left. I was going to give a 3 star review but that maybe a bit harsh. Would I go back. Probably not for a while as it’s quite expensive and there’s Michelin restaurants for the same price. But if you havn’t been then I would go.

Last night was a true gastronomic adventure at WTLGI. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by a warm and relaxed atmosphere that set the tone for the rest of the evening. The highlight of our experience was undoubtedly the 11 courses we were served. Each dish was more impressive than the last and was accompanied by an exquisite wine flight that truly complemented the flavors of each course. The restaurant takes great pride in sourcing the best quality ingredients from all over the country. And they even started their own garden on top of a car park during lockdown! It was fascinating to hear the tales of where each ingredient came from and how it was prepared. The standout dish for me had to be the Carlingford oyster. I've had my fair share of oysters over the years, but this one truly stood out. It was fresh, briny, and perfectly shucked. I could have eaten a dozen more and never grown tired of their delicious flavour. Overall, our experience at WTLGI was truly unforgettable. It's not just about the food, but the whole experience. From the incredible service to the unique atmosphere and outstanding cuisine, it was a night that we will never forget and made my partners birthday special.

Unfortunately, after a mostly enjoyable meal with good service, I immediately suffered from food poisoning and had to leave hastily. Several hours of extreme struggle followed (details omitted), but eventually, I recovered. Upon reaching out to the restaurant to explain what happened, I was informed that I must have had an allergic reaction instead of them taking any responsibility and the staff suggested I get tested for allergies. Several months later, and even after eating the similar food at other restaurants (mainly we think the culprit was the oyster), I have not experienced any such allergic reaction, though I admit that I never got tested. Nevertheless, the way the situation was handled felt unsatisfactory, especially given the high cost of the meal per head. Best of luck to anyone dining there – hopefully, you will have a better experience.

We’ve visited the restaurant once a year since it opened. And maybe that’s as much as it takes to be a “regular” in this sort of place. It’s food that’s always interesting and inventive but once a year is probably enough. These days, chef and owner Sam Buckley is more “hands-off” than he used to be, not being in the restaurant all the time and leaving things much more to his team. And the team is doing things very well. Front of house is welcoming, engaging and on the ball. And the chefs in the very open kitchen, have really got a good handle on things. Of the various tasting menus we’ve eaten here, this one probably worked the best of all them – less of the “earnest and worthy”, more of the “just damn good food”. In the past I’ve written in some detail about what we’ve eaten but this time I decided to leave my notebook at home so will just transcribe the menu, with maybe a memory or two. Pickle plate Asparagus and hollandaise Lobster crumpet Yellowhammer bread, butter, mushroom Millet pudding, hen’s yolk, crispy pork BBQ lobster, head sauce Gem lettuce, split pea, toasted yeast The whole of Katie’s pig Burnt apple sorbet, artichoke vodka Sheep’s milk parfait, rhubarb Petit four As well as the three chefs in the kitchen, there was a fourth outside using a charcoal BBQ to grill things like the asparagus, lobster and Little Gem. It brought a smokiness to those three dishes that really enhanced the flavour. And, by way of explanation of the “Whole of Katie’s Pig”, pork has been the final savoury course every time we’ve been. They buy a whole rare breed Saddleback direct from the farm and, over time, use all of it in different ways. This evening, there was a slice of loin, a Chinese style dumpling of long cooked piggy and some just wilted greens. It was fab. But there were two absolute standout dishes. The first was the lobster crumpet – just about a single mouthful if you opened wide. A small, nicely chewy crumpet topped with lobster butter, shredded lobster and Little Gem lettuce. The first dessert was an outstanding example of the skill of the young pastry chef. She’d caramelised the apples so they were rich and sweet, but not overly sweet, and turned them into a sorbet. But basis for the sauce predated her arrival here. When the restaurant first opened, they decided to steep leaves of globe artichoke in vodka. Yes, a wacky idea which is why it may have sat on the shelf for six years. Now, I don’t know what she’d then done to it for it to become a sauce but it was absolutely inspired. Delicious. There will be those who might baulk at the cost and the fact that you have to pay up front at the time of booking, with no refund if you cancel. And they would have a point. But it would mean they miss out on a really nice evening.

I am a big fan of their ethos of cooking sustainable and using every bit of produce instead of producing mountains of unnecessary food waste. The food overall was nice and I got dishes I've never tasted before. However my greatest disappointment with an otherwise nice evening was that every dish was not more than a mouthful and the ingredients where in large parts so basic that they don't justify the price for that tasting menu. I left the restaurant quite hungry which is very disappointing as you would assume to be quite full after about 8 dishes. Unfortunately, I had the impression that making money was prioritised over actually feeding people. Therefore my first visit will also be my last.

A stellar dining experience in an historic, industrial setting. The menu changes with the seasons and is heavily focussed on ultra-local ingredients (some of which coming from an urban allotment atop a multi-storey car park!). Service is attentive and unpretentious…beat only by the quality of the food and wine. The team readily accept dietary requirements without compromising the quality of the end result. This team are surely destined for great things and we cannot wait to dine there again.

I've been here three times over the past 2 years. The past 2 times were incredible. For £95 you had a meal that reflected that. I'd say now they focused so much on the green aspect of their michelin star that the range of food was greatly diminished. Over the courses they provided, the only course resembling anything of expense was a small serving of pollock. The oyster dish was described as the leftover of the oysters by the staff which I also agreed tasted less than fresh, nothing of the oysters I've had previously (oyster with Thai basil infused ice.. amazing). Admittedly they had a wide variety of vegetables and fungi they provided from their garden. Tasty for something that came from a rooftop in Stockport but nothing that resembled dining of that price range. At one point I was teased by being given a steak fork, for which I was provided with a very small portion of perhaps chicken of the woods (mushroom)... A teaspoon would of sufficed. Tasty for a mushroom but not what I'd expect of an establishment that used to be striving for a michelin star. I was truly disappointed by my meal tonight and feel the large profit margin between cost and product was the main priority of their latest tasting menu. I guess my third visit will be my last. I understand it is likely not the fault of the excellent chefs providing the food, but that of the management. It was with a heavy heart that I write this as I've been a great admirer of WTLGI, but feel truly unsatisfied by my meal tonight. P.s. Less fennel in the dessert. At points it was truly overpowering to the more subtle elements of the dish.

Came here for a birthday dinner. Service and food were very good. What really spoilt the experience was the smoke from the kitchen. The kitchen is open in the restaurant which is great. But it appears to have no air extraction system at all, so when they griddled the meat etc the whole restaurant filled with smoke. No exaggeration to say everyone's eyes were watering and we didn't want to linger. Our clothes also stank. A real shame which marred what otherwise would have been a lovely dinner as a special treat.

Overall our experience here was positive however the menu on the day was a little lacking, especially for the price which has increased recently. The menu was packed with flavour and the wines were exceptional. However, for a menu that is almost £100 per person, the main course was not good enough. We were served a small sliver of venison, without any sides or vegetables. Only to see a post of other diners being given a venison cottage pie alongside their main just a few days later. My opinion is that if you're paying a premium, you shouldn't leave the restaurant still hungry.

My wife and I went for my birthday, to try the taster menu. The food was exemplary; all locally sourced and the staff were very well versed in its origins. We were blown away by some of the courses. Some of the paired wines were a little more challenging and it felt as though they were chosen by how complicated the description was, over its palatability or enjoyment. Despite previous experiences with taster menus at Michelin starred restaurants we left feeling satisfied. I would highly recommend this anyone looking to try somewhere different and it is wonderful to have an establiment like this so close to home.

The staff are enthusiastic, relaxed and friendly, the time they take to talk about the wines and the food, its suppliers and preparation, made possible by an efficiency that they make look effortless. The building, decor, lighting and ambience are exactly right for the old commercial heart of Stockport - smart, comfortable industrial. It's not a cheap night out, but it is good value for the quality and the experience. Highly recommended.

Worth every penny. Superb dining space playing excellent music, staff were excellent and extremely knowledgeable about the menu offered. I was blown away by the food, every course of the 12 or so we had was outstanding, wine was also excellent paired to the menu. Some of the highlights were their own bread with mushroom ‘sauce’, lamb with donut, and mussels. We had to book 2-3 months in advance and price wise it is expensive but both these things absolutely justified based on the overall experience. I will 100% come back.

I really really wanted to like this more, booked by my wife as a birthday surprise treat as I'd mentioned many times I'd love to go and as locals we like to support local pubs and restaurants. The food was mostly very tasty although as I feared the total amount of food for 10 courses was probably less than one small plate. I expected a little more for some courses than for instance one piece of beetroot.... 4 small tomatoes in fermentated water.... A kale leaf. As I said mostly tasty except the pumpkin tart which was completely bland and tasteless The matching wines were however perfect and accompanied the food well. Service and very good with knowledgeable staff and the restaurant itself is lovely. Worst part was unfortunately both my wife and myself both feeling unwell and sick during the night, I expect maybe a bad reaction to a dish with mussels, oh and the over £300 bill. Sad to say I'd probably not go again,maybe its just me, really wanted to enjoy so feel a little sad leaving a poor review.

What these guys deserve doesn't even quantify it with 5 stars. The service from start to finish was second to none. Friendly welcome followed by refined dishes with exceptional description and attention to detail in the way everything was presented. They definitely deserve the accolades that have been given to date and we wouldn't hesitate to return. The wine pairings were not only well thought out, by the fantastic somelier Emily, but had an individual approach and I couldn't recommend that, adding this element to your journey here is a necessity and not just a recommendation, enough. I will be very surprised if they don't see a Michelin star in their future, but I also appreciate that they take the relaxed and wonderfully comforting environment in their stride

The Ashlea was one of our favourite places to visit for a family meal, but after a few bad experiences, we stopped visiting. We decided to retry, and we were very disappointed as the place has not returned to the nice place to eat. The food was not as good as we have had at other Chef N Brewers in the area. Food was dry from heat lamps, and over salted. It's a pity the standards of chef n brewer are not seen here.
