The best restaurants serving British food in Manchester North West

Nice food, and good portion size, so it's great value for money 👍🏽

Straight after arriving in Manchester we passed by the Tea Room at the Midland and decided to treat ourselves to a high tea. We were served by the very friendly Lottie and enjoyed a lovely afternoon and a great start to our stay in Manchester. The sweet and savory offerings and the tea were delicious and the service was great.

We ordered just a Sausage Sandwich, a Bacon Sandwich and two coffees - Americano and Flat White, a smiley service from our server but sterile. I was told the bread would be toasted but I stated unbuttered plain bread was my option. Eventually after a long wait the sandwiches arrived the bread absolutely dreadful, hard with an odd taste and to correct the hard bread complaint it was sent to the kitchen and warmed in the microwave! Our coffees finished before food arrived and the bread left I just ate the two plain sausages and a 25% discount was offered . The patisseries on offer looked amazing in the display fridge but it certainly isn’t enough to wow us back.

Went for brunch and came out feeling very annoyed! Ordered our food at the counter and paid thinking that is expensive, got back to the table and checked and it was £6 more expensive than on the menu! Asked for a receipt at the end to check and they’d put on a service charge before we’d had any food/service and the coffee’s were more expensive than advertised on the menu! Wouldn’t have minded but my eggs Benedict were overdone and the muffin was dry/hard! Had to go find my own salt/pepper and no one came over to see how the food was! Ideally would have like a refund on the service charge and one of the meals as it was awful but staff didn’t care so just left! Shame as it used to be nice here but would not recommend now!

From check in to leaving everything spot on.. Lovely staff in bar.. The route upstairs into hotel was nicely furnished, as we're the rooms. We had a twin. Compact but not cramped. Beds comfy with nice pillows and bedding. Bathroom lovely. Great shower and lovely towels.. There was tea, coffee, milk, kettle etc in room. Cartons of orange juice too. Cerials, fruit, cakes, breads, jams and butter laid out in the entry room. Coffee machine too.. Bottled water and milk in the fridges there. Nice crockery too. We were back late, after a concert.. There is a side entrance as bar is shut. Ideal location as station, metro and taxis just across the road. Will definately use again.

Great food and friendly staff. Good if you take meal deal when booking to stay here. Limited food on menu but does offer a good choice.

Had a really nice time here, food came out very quickly and was lovely. Shout out to Abbie who was so friendly and helpful!

Estaba en Manchester por negocios y pensé en probar este lugar ya que había oído hablar de amigos que viven en la ciudad. El exterior del restaurante es muy bonito y fresco, con una pintura verde y flores pintadas, no te lo puedes perder. El menú está lleno de cosas deliciosas para elegir • Éramos tres y pedimos un montón de cosas. . . El plato mezze, los batidos de cerveza, los nachos -! El sabor y la presentación fueron excelentes. Los precios son razonables y el servicio fue amable y cortés. La decoración es sencilla con unas lindas mesas de madera. Una visita obligada para un almuerzo saludable?

Great coffee stop after horrendous journey on M62 while peering up car. Food looks great but we didn’t have time. coffee and scone v good. Will use again.

Good atmosphere! Really nice drinks and the staff were attentive. Drinks were slightly on the expensive side though

I think overall my experience of Porky Pigs Christmas Yorkshire pudding wrap from there Exchange Square Christmas stand has been disappointing. From waiting in line for over 30 minutes to be served to then having to wait another 20 minutes for my order. The atmosphere is great, however, the food IMO seems to have gone downhill over the years. The food itself was tasteless and I had to look for the tiny scraps of meat that were actually in the Yorkshire pudding, for close to £10 not great. So great idea initially which has gone downhill through popularity over the years and it just seems very rushed and careless in places. I've tried it this year but wont be back.

The food was cooked perfectly and it was full of flavours and cooked the way I asked to be cooked and it's filling as wish the had more to pick from

Delivery - chips were missed off the order. When I called up to ask them to be sent I got “are you sure” and hung up on. All cold

We were recommended Blinkers so thought we’d try it. Quite difficult to find thank goodness for google maps! 🤣 Lovely bar greeted on arrival shown to lovely comfy seats. Good choice of cocktails some we had never had before. Nice touch of a jug of water along side our drinks. Prompt, friendly service. Finished our evening off lovely!

I called in here while waiting at the hospital, the staff were very friendly and polite. I ordered a pizza, which was quite frankly, Amazing, I’m not sure who the ladie was who was preparing the pizza, I think I was Michelle but could be wrong. She brought the pizza to the table and asked if I would want any additional food or sauce. The pizza was excellent. The beer was great (I’m no stranger to holts smooth) and it was exemplary. The ladie behind the bar was very attentive I think her mane was Sarah? She was very chatty. Polite to all the customers. Sarah came over mid meal to ask if everything was ok. I really felt like a local who had been drinking here for years. However this was my first visit. It certainly won’t be my last. Great service. Great food. And great beer. Well done to the team at the grafton arms.
