“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic experience! The restaurant is very spacious and the waiters are extremely friendly! The chef prepares wonderful food—everything we ordered was delicious. My family and I watched a live football match here that evening, and we had an amazing experience. Highly recommend!”

“The service we received was fantastic. Personal warm and welcoming. A big thank you to Aidan who made me and my boy feel very welcome. The food was great too! I highly recommend!”

“I've been coming here every matchday this season and always order the Lasagne. It used to fill the entire plate, but as you can see, it now only fills half of it. My friend also had the Lasagne and it was the same. I scraped the sauce from the bottom of the plate on one side, and in the photo, you can see how much actual food was served. Even worse than that, my other friend ordered the buttered chicken, and she said that half of her food was luke warm, and the other half of the plate was stone cold, including the chicken. It tasted reheated. Maybe they put the microwave on the wrong setting.Including their service charge, it's about £21 for that measly portion of food. Absolutely pathetic”

“I had heard great things about the restaurant and was excited to visit it. However, I was sadly disappointed with my time at the restaurant. It took them 20 minutes to even speak to us about drinks or food after we had been seated. The entire meal was us waiting for our server to actually speak with us instead of the other coworkers. The food itself was nothing special. All items you could get at other restaurants. The only good part about the visit was that Manchester City didn’t get 3 points.”

“Old Trafford tour experience package including 2 course meal here and it didn’t disappoint. Paid the £5 supplement to upgrade to the steak and it was well worth it. Great service and really tasty well presented food. All this and decent drinks and friendly service. If you ask me,this is well worth a visit.”
