Customer Review Summary
Sushi is the draw reviewers return to most, from the chef's eight piece nigiri platter to rolls called high quality, alongside ramen and katsu in a pub setting one reviewer calls a rare combo. Close behind are the burgers, including the Plucky Bird Burger and a katsu chicken burger served with wings and fries, and fish and chips described as crispy and moist. The Sunday roast earns its own praise, with roast beef that melted in the mouth, Yorkies that were spot on and sticky toffee pudding, which another diner had with miso caramel sauce. The tempura bang bang cauliflower, the cocktails and the tap line up also come up. Staff are mostly called lovely and friendly, but the complaints are specific. One brunch diner found tinned beans and mediocre coffee, and an automatic service charge was added after a wrong order and a long wait. Another says a server rushed their table near closing, brought the bill unasked, skipped the dessert menu, and still charged extra on card after they declined the service charge.

“Amazing restaurant. The service is great and the food was incredible- we ordered a range of dishes all of which were delicious and the tempura bang bang cauliflower in particular was insanely good. For dessert we had the sticky toffee pudding with miso caramel sauce which was impressive. So many lovely options on the menu that I couldn’t possibly try everything I wanted so will definitely be back!”

“I’ve had brunch, ramen, sushi and a Sunday roast here and all of them are up there with the best I’ve ever had in Manchester. To make things even better they have an unreal tap line up and the staff are genuinely lovely.”

“I was disappointed with the food and service. I had expected a lot better standard from a cafe in this popular area . The coffee was mediocre, the beans on the vegetarian brunch were tinned beans ( not homemade). A service charge of 10% was automatically added even though they got my order wrong after waiting a long time for our food. Overall I'm sorry to say it seems to be an overpriced and underwhelming brunch venue.”
