The atmosphere here is nice and cozy with the winter tent they've put up. Food seems pricey for what it is, but I guess you're paying for the ambience. The burger and fries here was very nice but nothing mind-blowing. I'd happily go again and try some of the other dishes.

Starter of pigs head croquettes was lovely. Sunday roast chicken with all the trimmings, and the pie with the roast trimmings was also so good. Too much food we struggled and finished it. The root veg was a little overdone, but I didn't mind. The cabbage was unique, and I loved it. Gravy was super. Chicken was so succulent, and the skin was perfectly crispy and a little salty, but I understand why since the meat was a little bland, it made perfect sense. Mash was a smash hit, and roast potato was lovely. Cauliflower cheese was the bomb! Summer cocktails were yum! The dessert was a disappointment. The peach tarte tatin was bitter with the burn sugar, and the pastry felt like it was more a pie crust than a dessert tart pastry. The vegan ice cream didn't do it much good anyway. I tried to eat half and couldn't eat a bite of it.

What a gorgeous place this is. A top notch Sunday Roast in a stunning setting with five star service by a team of true professionals. The roast choices include vegan and veg options. The beef was divine and the sides were generous and delicious. Try the artisinal bread with garlic chili and tomato butter. Has a lovely outdoor garden as well. Quick walk from Piccadilly too. This is a must if you're a Sunday Roast fan. Or even if you're not as it has a broad selection of other dishes.

Delicious Sunday roast. Two courses for £30. We only spent more as we stayed for hours and had lots of wine/a cocktail to finish! When our table time ran out inside we were politely moved to an equally lovely table outside under a cover with heaters with blankets. An absolutely perfect afternoon. Will definitely be back!

Visited last night after a good recommendation and have to say myself and my wife were not disappointed. The service was absolutely amazing couldn’t fault it. The food is fantastic, we started with the squid and prawns, we’ve had calamari in Spain and this is so much better the squid melts in your mouth. I started with pigs head crocket and my wife had the scallops both well cooked and very tasty. For mains we both had the cod loin with watercress mash again cooked to perfection. Couldn’t find room for a pud as the portions are generous, but I managed to squeeze in the cheese and biscuits. All in all a very good restaurant and if in Manchester is a must

A most enjoyable experience. Good menu for a Sunday and not just for a roast, my wife had a tremendous pie (top marks for the pastry). The staff were great, coping easily with my father through to my niece, not an easy combo! We felt special amidst the busyness of many others enjoying their Sunday lunch. Well worth it.

Enjoyed some really tasty food here. The butternut squash gnocchi was delicious, and so too was the banana knickerbocker glory. Service was great. I would just say that even though food was delicious, it's slightly over priced.

One of the best restaurant experience in Manchester! We went to this restaurant to celebrate my partner's birthday and what a treat! For starters we ordered the pigs head croquet and the seitan canneloni which were a delight. For mains, we decided to go for the lamb and duck. The balance of flavours and textures makes the difference on these dishes and the quality of the meat was remarkable. If i would have to mention something to improve is hjat the caneloni could do with a little bit less of oil. About the service, it was 10/10. Amy was our waitress for the evening and she was very kind and really took care of us paying attention to the dishes timings, wine, etc. we even got a little birthday treat! No doubt we will be coming back!

From the starter to main and deserts the food was delicious. Very unique and wonderful flavours. Our waiter Antonello was very friendly and professional, we felt very welcomed and taken care of. I highly recommend this place and I will definitely come back soon. 😋🤌

Everything impeccable, several environments with sound insulation! Interesting to recommend to the waiters which environment is best for what you are looking for! The waiter Vitor was a great guide

Visited The Black Friar for the first time last weekend for my mums Birthday and was curious about their in-house made pies! The pie of the day was chicken, leek and truffle…what a combo! These pies are on the smallish side but packed full of flavour and delicious pastry. They come with a side of fluffy mash potato and greens with a tasty gravy. The dish was £19 on the a la carté menu for Saturday but midweek these pies are £18 from their “Pub grub” menu. For dessert we had the espresso and chocolate bomb which was a bit underwhelming for £10 and needed a bit more coffee flavour for a coffee dessert…it’s got a bit of “theatre” but it’s just a hollow chocolate sphere that melts…I’d probably skip this item in future. Overall the service was attentive and speedy. A nice place to visit mid week or for Sunday dinner as their Sunday roast offering looks amazing.

We had an absolutely glorious festive 3 course lunch with very dear friends. I had the vegetable stew and dumplings which was divine. My husband had turkey with all the trimmings which he said was delicious. The tiramisu Yule log was a different take on the usual fare but very moreish. Service was exemplary. The rose prosecco was so good!!! This was our first time here and we will definitely be back. Sign up to the newsletter and get 10% off. So worth it.

What a place! As soon as you walk in the service is high class. Everybody is on point. You can tell its a well run operation. From the inside through to the outside area, the vibe is high class, yet chilled out. It's just really cool. They have these mini glamping pods in the garden. I've never seen anything quite like them. The food was top quality. I had the burger. I'm a real food snob, and I love a burger. You could tell by the flavour the beef was high quality. And it was caramelised and seared wonderfully. This is a place you can go for a relaxed lunch or for a high class meal in the evening. A real show stopper.

Amazing Sunday birthday lunch today! Nicole was an amazing waitress! Can’t wait to come back for the pie festival!

We just about managed to grab a seat yesterday for a few drinks, the place was booming but maintained a great atmosphere. We were served by a lovely lass called Amy. Her positive attitude was infectious and she was extremely attentive (and great at eliminating any guilt I might have had around ordering doubles 😉) To top it all off they were celebrating their 2nd birthday and we all got a little voucher for our next visit! Looking forward to going back, never disappoints!

What a belter of a Sunday roast. I had the roast beef which was cooked perfectly and every element of the roast was superb. I would definitely go back and have it again. It's a little bit more expensive than a lot of places for a roast but the quality speaks for itself. It's up there for me with my two other favourite roast places one being Proost in Urmston and the other the Hive in Stretford. We could only get a table in the garden area but it was a lovely space just not much atmosphere at first as we were the only ones there. Service was top notch. My partner had the lamb which was heavenly. It's well worth a try.

Amazing food and great vibes. Loved the fish and chips, sticky toffee pudding. Full stars, except the service is super slow.

Really recommend it! It is a pub and restaurant, with a mix of pub food and fine dining. The place is beautiful and the courtyard is very cute. We stayed in the "pub area" and had the burger and the pie of the day. Both were delicious. The service was very friendly and professional. We'll be back to try the a la carte menu in the restaurant.

The food here is always 10/10. But the service is what makes it even better. Vito, our waiter, made our night by being so attentive, friendly and helpful. I’d recommend this place to anyone. Every dish is Masterchef level!

Came here with the pooches for some food and drinks as a midweek reason to get out the house. Sitting on your own can be daunting, but Vito the waiter was great at looking after the pooches and I. Treats and water for the doggos as well as delicious food for me. Lovely local!

Great date venue, with both an amazing interior and what looked like an amazing garden too (which we didn’t really use). The food is of a very high quality and the place seems to take itself quite seriously - it’s not like any other pub I’ve been to before! The menu is on the expensive side, so be prepared… The service, however, was what made the whole experience worthwhile. We were looked after by Hadar, who kept us happy and who was conversational in tone. Hadar gave us recommendations and kept us on the right track. Would 100% visit again, perhaps on a date rather than a group meal!

Visited on a Monday evening, was quite quiet which was lovely. The decor of the room was incredible, it was so beautifully decorated. Our server was amazing, couldn't fault her at all. I ordered the pie and it was great, I really enjoyed it. The food is a little pricey but mine was worth it. My only issue would have been that the veggies were pretty much raw. I would have liked them cooked more.

Nice experience. Sunday Roast. Enjoyed the quality of the vegetables. Quarter chicken and slice of beef. Prefer the chicken option. Good gravy. Nice fresh bread too. Good vibe, perhaps music a tad bit too loud but I was sat under the speaker. Price on the higher end however.

This was a great place for food and drink, reasonably priced. I came here for an evening meal with my boyfriend. We had a three course meal and drinks. Each course was delicious, including fried squid, scallops, steak. Quick service, and a very attentive waiter, Antonello, who was amazing. We will definitely come again. Can't recommend it highly enough! Give stars!
