  “Popped in with Shaslic on a warm July afternoon. Been once before a few years ago. No real ale so had a good pint of Guinness and a glass of a rosé viño verdi. Table service. Sat on the front patio on the busy Burton Road drag. Nice bar.”

  “We had a really lovely visit to Folk. The food and drinks were great, but what really stood out was the service and attention to detail from the team. The weather couldn’t make its mind up – one minute it was blazing sunshine and the next there was a heavy storm! The staff were constantly adjusting the covers in the beer garden to keep everyone comfortable, and they did it with a smile despite having to dash around all afternoon. It didn’t go unnoticed and made a real difference to our visit. A really welcoming atmosphere, attentive staff and a great place to spend a few hours. We’ll definitely be back.”

  “I visited Folk between leaving one accommodation and arriving at another on an 3-day working tour of the north. I arrived mid morning on a Sunday with some work to do, hoping to plug in my laptop and hang out for a few hours. It was really busy when I arrived and I explained what I needed fully expecting to be turned away. Instead I was shown to a quiet corner with a plug socket where I was served by Carolyn. I ended up staying for 3 hours and getting everything I needed done. By the time I left the indoor section was empty and but the tables outside were still full, so it was the perfect place to work. I had 2 peppermint teas and smashed avocado on gluten free toast. It was really tasty and the service was great. All the staff were friendly and helpful but Carolyn really went the extra mile as my server. She even investigated the best parks for me to spend the afternoon in before I went to work. Recommend!”

  “I’ve been here so many times. Whether it be for drinks, food, or coffee. The staff are so friendly and the service is so good. The brunch is so yummy and they have a great atmosphere and selection of beers. I don’t live in didsbury but it’s definitely worth the commute for the great venue”

  “My boyfriend and I visited Folk Didsbury excited to try your burgers. I ordered a veggie burger and when it arrived I realised it looked suspiciously like real meat. I pointed this out to a member of staff, but the young woman I spoke to seemed quite disinterested. A young male member of staff was more helpful and took the burger back to the kitchen, where it was confirmed that it was indeed real meat. They brought me out a replacement but my boyfriend had finished his meal by the time it came out. I was offered a free Coke as compensation, but even this had to be chased up. What really upset me was a guy who I can only assume was the owner/manager who was walking around asking other customers how their food was completely overlooked us, assumably because he didn’t want to deal with the situation. He asked the guy on the table to the left of us how his burger was, then after making eye contact with me, blatantly ignored me and carried on to the table on the other side of us before continuing around the rest of the restaurant. Overall, the handling of the situation was poor and left us feeling overlooked and unwelcome. We were really looking forward to trying Folk Didsbury, as I do a local food review on my Instagram account I was looking forward to reviewing it. Sadly, the experience fell far short of expectations.”
