    Well worth visiting. The staff make you feel so welcome and really look after your every need. The quality of the food, drink, ambiance and facilities is 100%, you will not be disappointed. Such a special place to dine and drink in a lovely place with amazing views of the city of Manchester. We’ll be back very soon. By the way the Yorkshire puddings on the Sunday roast just melt in the mouth, stunning.

    Stale sandwiches. No children’s afternoon tea despite requesting this on booking. No offer of additional drinks. Scones had gone cold before eating them. Beautiful setting however.

    Me and my date both had the bbq lamb run each, cooked well done and this was amazing, we shared a starter of 4 prawns so 2 each and again this was a brilliant starter that we both very much enjoyed, we ended with the sticky toffee pudding to share and this really kept spirits high. We will be back!

    We booked months ahead and requested where possible a table with a view noting this was a very special occasion. Request was disregarded and we were hugely disappointed
    20 Stories RestaurantResponded 6 days ago
    Thank you for providing your honest feedback following your recent visit - we are grateful to have received your comments directly regarding the food and service - for which we are delighted to have exceeded your expectations. Whilst we welcome requests and will always try to accommodate these, we do not pre-allocate or hold window tables. Instead, we offer window seating on a real-time basis, so should a window table be available, we will allocate this to the next guest who arrives to be seated straight away. This is the fairest way to operate our window seating which is in very high demand. We hope to welcome you another time. Kind Regards
