Great time before a few weeks. good veggie selection. check out

Came here during the 50% discount off food bill on a weekday evening. I ordered Three Ricers Battered Haddock which came with real chips and tortilla. It tasted great and was of huge portion. The ambience was good. However, the waiters seemed to be less patient compared to other restaurants I’ve been.

We had an odd experience here. We had one of the mixed platters as a starter which was very good, so our hopes were high. Unfortunately, it went down hill from there. After waiting 45+ minutes for the main, we were told the chef had burnt our food, and there were no more of what we ordered- chicken pie- left so we had to choose an alternative. We therefore had a cheese and onion pie which I would describe as very average. Gravy and incidentals (mash, chips, mushy peas) the same. Afterwards we ordered dessert however this was also forgotten about and we waited another 40 minutes or so until someone realised. My cheesecake was good, but my friend mentioned her brownie had a slightly burnt taste to it. To be fair, after all our problems, the staff comped the main and desserts without us even asking. I can see that this place could be really good, and the concept is fab, however it seems like it's having a few teething problems, as it is not long open. I'm not sure whether I would return or not, given our experience. On the plus side, the cocktails were very good.

Had Sunday roast as a group. Good portion size and fixed price menu. However, some of the meat was extremely fatty and barely edible. Service very mixed server was very personable but we were ushered out by someone banging on the window rather than being asked politely quite odd. Decor feels dated. It's all very average and that doesn't cut it in Manchester anymore.

Really nice place and staff. The food, however, could be much better. I ordered a mushroom pie, the waiting time was quite long and the pastry was still very undercooked. Overall taste of the food was not great either. Very disappointed. Won't be coming again.
