    Another gem for Urmston with delicious decor and a fabulous ambience. Incredibly friendly welcome from artist and entrepreneur, Helen. Pram-friendly, especially in the covered outdoor area as well as some tables inside, great food options including vegan and gluten-free cakes. Stunning art gallery at the back with original art work too.

    Spotted this lovely cafe after an appointment at Trafford General Hospital. The Gallery's inside and outside space is full of beautiful artwork. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We only had coffee this time, but we will certainly go back for lunch.

    A big shout out to a small family ran business...please readπŸ‘ I just wanted say a big thank you to Emma, Helen and the helpful young man (sorry I didn't get your name) at The Gallery on Brook Rd, Flixton. I booked The Gallery on Sunday for a private party for my Mums 80th birthday. What can I say other than wow!!! What a beautiful place, beautifully ran by a beautiful family, serving the most amazing food, they couldn't have done anymore! All our guests said the same. This is a hidden gem away from the main routes and probably gets over looked but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go and take a visit I can assure you you won't be disappointed! It is such a homely environment with warming colours and lots of comfy sofas and chairs dressed with blankets and fur rugs surrounded by quirky antiques. Look up and you'll see the amazing chandeliers elegantly lighting the beautiful space. Helen also decorates the walls with her original art work that is for sale hence the name. Oh it's also dog friendly so you have no excuse not to go. The artistic vibes are even present in the presentation of the food, I've never seen food presented like that and it really works! Not only do they have the indoor space, there is more seating in the ginnel and the rear walled cobbled yard decorated to the same standard as the indoors...complete with heaters and lights. Another bonus is The Gallery doesn't just serve hot drinks and food it has a alcohol licence for your favourite tipple! So if you want to meet a friend for coffee or treat yourself to an afternoon tea this is your place. Or you you can hire the whole place for a private function. This would be such a perfect place for an intimate wedding function, it's so pretty! Go and support your local business! Louise xxx

    The Gallery hosted a private event for us for my Dad's 70th. We were absolutely blown away by the buffet provided! The owners have created such a beautiful space and everybody working their was super friendly. In the evening with all the twinkly lights it just felt magical and really special. I highly recommend a visit to anybody who has never been, for a coffee and a cake, or a gin an tonic as they have a great selection of flavoured gins! Thanks again, it was fantastic.

    Well, what can I say? This is quite frankly the loveliest place You are transported into a quirky, beautiful arty paradise. The artwork of local artist and owner of the gallery Helen parsley decorates the walls with style and elegance. The atmosphere is just wonderful, the seating, sumptuous, and relaxing, whilst the little courtyard at the back makes you feel as though you're somewhere else entirely. The food is delicious πŸ˜‹, and there is a great choice of food and drink. The service is absolutely amazing, I just love coming here. There is something quite magical about it. I would highly recommend a visit to the gallery 😊

    Lovely little coffee shop, that I’ve only just discovered, very magical, full of loads of trinkets and eclectic design! Great coffee, cakes are like a proper ones and not manufactured πŸ˜€, highly recommended, gets busy though, there are outside seating areas with heaters which is great.

    Absolutely brilliant venue with even better food. The Gallery hosted a private event for our family this weekend which far exceeded our expectations, I can't say thanks to Simon, Helen and the whole team enough, their hospitality and attention to detail was 2nd to none. We will definitely be back, if I could give 10 stars I would.

    Found this lovely cafe after a visit to the local hospital. A beautiful place inside and out. All the staff were polite and friendly and the food was delicious. My daughter wants to go back every day . We ate in and also bought a takeaway sandwich for later in the day. Would highly recommend it and will definitely go back again soon. Thank you.

    Beautiful cafe, but service very poor. We ordered 3 sandwiches with soup, all of which came at different times. We had to ask twice for the last bowl of soup which came only after the sandwich was already finished. Had to ask for spoons for the soup as they'd forgotten them. Finished with 3 scones, which were dry as there was no butter and served with squirty cream as no real cream left. Very beautiful cafe, but lacked good service.

    My partner and myself recently visited this family run establishment and it is such a lovely place. Great coffee and food, everyone was friendly and welcoming and plenty of comfy seats. But our highlight was being welcomed by their sweetheart dog Debbie and big fluffy cat! Highly recommended!

    Couldn't star the food as we didn't have any HOWEVER.... the lady who owns The Gallery is an incredible artist and it shows in the decor. Before I go any further, this is also a great bar with lovely cocktails. Stunning is an understatement, there is something interesting to look at everywhere you turn. Inside and outside, just beautiful, a gorgeous place to visit. I just wish she opened every day and night, but alas, only Thursday to Saturday. Friday being the only late one till 10pm. Go and visit, you won't be disappointed.

    This has to be the most lovely, relaxed and comfortable cafΓ© in Manchester. The menu is great, simple and tasty food with amazing service which is swift yet friendly. A great place for early morning or mid-day in either winter (inside) or summer in the outdoor courtyard which is really very nice indeed. Hope to be back soon when visiting Mum @ Bowfell.

    Lovely family-run cafe in a gallery (or possibly gallery in a cafe!). Very friendly service, food is great (definitely get a slice of cake) and there are plenty of comfy sofas to sit on. Definitely recommended.

    Had our daughters 30th birthday party, can honestly say the venue, food and atmosphere is faultless big thanks to the staff, Emma and her mum for making it a night to remember πŸ‘ŒπŸŽ‚πŸŽΆπŸΊπŸ₯³

    There is no where else to compare. The food is delicious. The service is excellent and the atmosphere friendly and relaxed. The decor is beautiful and so many interesting collections. We always look forward to going.

    We had a lovely lunch at the Gallery, pea and ham soup for my brother and a jalapeΓ±o chicken melt for me. The garden at the back is beautiful and indoors the cafe come studio (once an old co-op shop) is effortlessly cool. On top of all that they are donating their tips to the Pakistan flood appeal and they took care of my phone when I abandoned it (not for the first time and sadly, not the last either).

    Fabulous variety of drinks. Welcoming, friendly staff. Sat out the back and enjoyed the flowers. Great selection of seating. Enjoyed looking through the urmston history book. This place is a hidden gem in Urmston. Free on road parking.

    Lovely cafe, wonderful outdoor area at the back, the place is beautifully decorated. Nice staff and good food. Strange thing to say but the side salad with my sandwich was the best I'd ever had

  • 5/5 Barney S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a FAB place to chill out, have a bite to eat and a drink. Decor is wonderful and looks like something out of a movie set. Really great staff, helpful and smiley. We could have sat for hours people watching. Food was very tasteful and looked good on the plate. Will take some pics next time we go. You can eat inside or out. We'll worth a visit.

    It was very busy at lunchtime. I would advise you to book. I was outside with a heater. Food was lovely v good cappuccino and excellent cheesecake. Lovely quaint surroundings and friendly staff.

    This place is a πŸ’Ž! Highly recommend a visit. Amazing home made cakes and you get to admire the owners art work displays. The place has a wonderful and cosy atmosphere. Great place to relax and enjoy tea and cake

    We booked The Gallery for the evening, for our exclusive use, for 25 of us to celebrate my husband’s special Birthday. We had a delicious buffet, a wide choice of hot & cold drinks at the bar, & the beautifully decorated indoor & outdoor space. The service was amazing, very friendly & accommodating, helping to make it such a memorable & happy day for us all.
