It was a shock. I visited there on my first trip to the UK, and all the dishes were brown and fried. No matter what you order, it looks the same. I think people who like junk food will love it. Adding vinegar makes it refreshing and easier to eat.

Good coffee with good pastries. Place itself was a bit sterile.

My absolute favourite seafood spot in all of Manchester. We’ve been coming here — and previously to the one in Sale (sadly now closed) — for years, and I can’t believe I haven’t written a review until now. It’s simply perfect every time. Whenever I’m in the mood for seafood, I know I’ll leave Oystercatcher happy and satisfied — it’s consistently impressive and reliable. My usual go-to is the seafood platter: a generous serving featuring a perfectly cooked whole sea bream that’s always fall-apart tender, juicy, and packed with flavour. The prawns are my personal highlight — incredibly meaty, rich, and delicious. You also get crispy calamari, plump mussels, charred hispi cabbage, tenderstem broccoli, and a selection of sauces for dipping — each one complementing the seafood beautifully. The oysters are a must-order. They’re always large, fresh, and served with a classic mignonette sauce and a bottle of Tabasco for that extra kick. The perfect opener to any meal here. I’ve also had the pleasure of trying the fish and chips — an ideal lunch that doesn’t leave you feeling heavy. The batter is crisp and golden without being oily, the chips are chunky and well-seasoned, and the fish is soft and flaky inside. A proper portion too — I was gutted I couldn’t finish it. The crab ravioli are rich and satisfying, with a bold tomato sauce that doesn’t overpower the delicate seafood filling. A great option if you’re in the mood for something warming and comforting. And the service? Always spot-on. The team are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and strike the perfect balance of professionalism and personality. There’s always great banter, they’re quick to take orders, attentive throughout, and the food always arrives hot and promptly. It’s clear they care just as much about the experience as they do about the food. Can’t recommend this place enough — it’s a true gem.

Mistakes happen! Mistakes happen, how you deal with them is what makes the difference. Tonight my partner and I went to Rudy’s for a pizza. We often go there because I love their pizza and the service is always great. I was waiting for long time, I just finished training so I was very hungry. We waited for ages but the pizzas kept not arriving. After approx. 35 min the waiters came to the table and sincerely apologised for the delay, apparently the order did not pull through so that’s why we were sat there waiting. Within minutes finally the pizzas arrived and they tasted particularly delicious (maybe I was about to faint how hungry I was). We asked for the bill and that’s what I got 😍 Thank you for everything

When you order chicken noodles and it looks and tastes like soya mince but they deny it and claim its minced chicken. It is not. Chicken does not mince like that and why on earth would you mince chicken? Plopping a load of chilli and soy sauce on it won’t hide it and it’s not worth the price. My friends ribs also looked gross with chunks of fat and little meat. I also had to ask again for the beer I ordered. Also don’t appreciate listening to thrash metal throughout. Quite a bizarre experience. Won’t be back.

From the moment we entered the restaurant, the service were friendly and welcoming. The food was piping hot and delicious. They did get the cocktail order wrong but, this was quickly resolved. Will definitely return next time we visit Manchester. Lovely, somewhat hidden gem that is away from the hustle and bustle and offers a quieter atmosphere to the larger restaurants in the surrounding area.

Solo he estado por un café los alimentos caros no les pagarían precios, así que tomé un café allí, fui a pagarlo, decía en el menú £ 2. 60 para pagar. Cuando el caballero labraba, era de 3 libras. 20 , cuando pregunté por qué dijo que cobran 60 peniques por la leche, me negué a pagar eso, así que se lo quitó, también es tarjeta solamente y personalmente prefiero pagar en efectivo, los cafés bien, pero hay lugares más baratos, bastante un gerente, ya sea cucharas por ejemplo así que tiendo a ir a esos lugares y aceptan efectivo a diferencia de Nordie así que para evitar ir allí.
