The best restaurants serving British food in Trafford North West

Fabulous Night! I was with a large party of colleagues and friends and we had the most fantastic service, food and drinks all evening. We were looked after by the amazing staff and the atmosphere was just perfect. I would highly recommend the venue for it’s great food, lovely cocktails and the care and vibe created by the staff - Angela and Anna are just amazing. We will definitely be returning in the future!

We ate here this morning. The food and service are superb. Everything we had was fresh, tasty and cooked to order. We also bought some pasties and cakes to take away. If you're Celiac or have a Gluten intolerance I highly recommend coming here. The deli owners are lovely people and passionate about what they do. This business deserves to succeed so please visit them if you can. We will definitely be coming back and we will also be ordering some more tasty treats online which they personally deliver (with a 30 mile radius).

I would just like to thank Owen's for a fantastic night me and Michael's been really enjoyed it the meal was perfect would highly recommend it

Really enjoyed it. First time we have been, brought the kids for cookie dough, sundae and donuts. Desserts were delicious... Really friendly staff, we sat inside and it's nicely decorated and a chilled vibe. Will recommend and come again.

My Granddaughter and I took part in the Macaron Masterclass earlier this month and enjoyed every minute of it! Marie was absolutely lovely, very knowledgeable and most importantly patient! As a macaron making novice I didn't expect to get particularly good results, however with Marie's step by step easy to understand instructions and feedback my Granddaughter and I came away with lots (and I mean lots), of fabulous macarons. A fantastic class - highly recommend.

Once I found this cafe I was hooked. Lovely place, menu, and service, the owners are truly devine. It is good old fashioned cafe that offers high quality in its fare. Slightly out of the center for Urmston but worth the effort in going there.

This is a really nice cafe. Lovely atmosphere, whether for coffee, brunch or for an evening drink when open as it is on Friday’s-best check the latter. No better in Hale-highly recommended, whether for friends or family!

I have been here a few times and its a decent little pub. They have really good live music which i like so will be back

For a small restaurant out in the suburbs, there’s ambitious cooking going on here. Food is by way of a shortish tasting menu and, at its centre, is the aptly named “Core Menu”. That runs to six courses (they count bread as one of them) plus a couple of snacks to start and sweets with your coffee, priced keenly at £55. There’s a shorter, cheaper version and, also , a longer more expensive one. And they can also tweakr them into a gluten free version, shellfish free version and a vegetarian (but not vegan) version. We had the core version last time and that’s what we ordered again – of course,, the dishes have been seasonally adjusted since we were here in the spring and were all completely different. Those snacks are a cracking way to start. A single bite version of “Nan’s cheese & onion pie” and a deep fried “doughnut” of soft pulled belly pork. I’d have happily eaten a bucket load of the latter. And then on to the bread course. There’s a mini truffle flavoured loaf for each of us, with butter and chicken liver parfait for slathering over. And a little bowl of chicken soup for sipping or dipping (both work). Cubes of roasted (?) smoked celeriac sat in a puddle of a tasty sauce, along with cubes and thin strips of pear and a dab of what I think was a tarragon puree. I thought it a tad too sweet but nice enough. Coley is a very sustainable fish and is an easy choice to replace cod. Here a small fillet is roasted and served along with a parsnip puree, cubes of bacon, and the almost celery like flavour of lovage. The final savoury course features chicken breast cooked with Brightside Brewery’s Mancunian IPA beer from 12 miles away in Radcliffe. Long cooked leg meat goes into a mini pie (yes, that’s two pies on the menu – this is Greater Manchester, after all). And very seasonal Jerusalem artichoke makes an appearance as crisps and puree. The first dessert, described as a palate cleanser, is a mix of plum sorbet, tangy yoghurt and mint caramel. It’s delicious – fetch me another bucket. But it’s not as delish as the second dessert – milk chocolate ganache, pistachio mousse, an orange cream and an orange flavoured cracker. We finished with good espresso . It came with a couple of sweet nibbles – a sharp raspberry jelly (too sharp to work well with coffee) and a coconut, chocolate fudge – think the flavours of Bounty. Service is smiley and very on the ball.

Excellent food with a friendly relaxed atmosphere would strongly recommend.

Wonderfully welcoming cafe, staff are so attentive and professional.

Melissa was absolutely amazing. Better than the Nutella drink. Will definitely be back and would recommend

Visited The House bar and restaurant yesterday my friend and I had a lovely meal .The waitress who served us don't know her name was a lovely bubbly young lady very polite friendly and chatty will visit again.

The star of the show was an Old Fashioned made with care and pride by Matt. This bar is a great place to sit and people watch with a large selection of pleasant drinks, lots to choose from for every palate. My partner is very partial to bright and fruity flavours, I’m a fan of dark liquor. I tried a few pleasant signature cocktails but decided I wanted a classic - which can be dangerous in a “trendy” place. However, I’ve got to say that Matt delivered a superb classic when I ordered an old fashioned. Full marks.

Excellent full English breakfast with good quality ingredients cooked really well, all in a lovely setting with outdoor booths. Highly recommend
