Went here for the first time today after a lovely walk and following recommendation from a friend. Food was delicious 😋 the only reason I've put 4 stars for the atmosphere is because there was hardly anyone in at the time we went. I would definitely go back 👌

We recently had a family celebration for a special anniversary at Divino. The food was wonderful. Everything we ordered was so tasty. There were around 20 of us, and the service we received was excellent. The servers were friendly and efficient. My parents were so happy with how the evening went, and I have no doubt that we will visit at Divino again soon!

Ohhh, I had the most amazing service yesterday at Primrose. I had the delicious fudge cake and custard. I should took a picture put on here but I was enjoying my food so much. I took my sister with me also and she enjoyed her food too. I know we get service each time we go, but I have to say I have never had such service in my life let alone at this restaurant. Her name was Karen Lyon, but my sister said her name was Cheryl. But I got told Karen. Nothing was too much trouble for Karen. She wasn't constantly in your face like some are, left us to enjoy our food and even kindly asked if she could help or get us anything. Of which we did and was brought to us right away. Can't thank Primrose Enough for lovely food and employing such a lovely lady who shone out above others Many Thanks for createing such an awesome atmosphere. An amazing service by Karen Lyon. Makes one want to return again and again Many Thanks 🙂

An excellent New Year’s Day meal this evening. The surroundings are perfect, and the restaurant is beautiful with everything wonderfully presented. Our food was superb—10 out of 10. The service from Jack was outstanding; he recommended excellent dishes and paced our meal perfectly. We will definitely be returning. A big thank you to Jack and all the staff at Albert’s Standish!

A convenient brunch spot, located right next to St. Peter’s Square—perfect if you’re short on time. The restaurant doesn’t particularly stand out in terms of design or atmosphere, but the staff were very friendly and kind. The food was decent and enjoyable; we ordered the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and the English Breakfast.

Situated next to St Peter’s square, opposite the Art Gallery, Vienna Cafe is the perfect location for a nice brunch. Food and drinks were nice, we had potato and leek soup, full English breakfast and Biscoff pancakes; we got orange juice freshly squeezed which ended up being the star of the brunch. The cappuccino was also good. Overall the food didn’t particularly stand out but it wasn’t bad at all. They offer a very good range, would recommend paying a visit to this spot

Great cafe in the heart of Piccadilly. I went there to treat myself to a nice cup of coffee and Oreo vegan cake and was really happy. The waitress took time to answer my questions before placing my order and my meal came right on time. The atmosphere was lovely and cozy and they have sitting area close to the windows for people watching while enjoying a meal.

The man serving us was extremely friendly and happy to go through the options of what was available. The pistachio french toast was amazing, and really good value for money! The drinks were delicious and presented in a gorgeous way, absolutely would go back and recommend to friends!

This wonderful pub serves quality wine and an array of quality drinks and cocktails. The food is excellent and the service is both friendly and attentive. On our latest visit, we tried the 'Chippy Tea' night and were not disappointed! Lots of chip shop favourites were on offer on the menu. The dishes were very well presented and all of them were absolutely delicious renditions of traditional chippy fare. Can't wait for the next one! The price was very reasonable and our spend included drinks before the meal, two bottles of wine with the meal and a nightcap at the end.

A lovely gastro pub with delicious food and great service. The only reason I didn't give 4* for atmosphere is I have hearing aids and everywhere people have piped music which makes listening to those I'm dining with difficult.

Rating: 5 / 5

The best pub/restaurant in the area by far. Amazing food every time, staff are great, friendly but not intrusive. Always a great atmosphere. Gorgeous fireside seats, designated area for dogs and a great range of ales and wines, something for everyone. Highly recommend, we go as often as we can.

I recently visited Sugar Junction with a friend, and we had an absolutely delightful experience! 🥰 Lavender Latte ☕️ This was a highlight of my order. The latte had a beautifully subtle floral aroma without being overpowering. The balance of sweetness and lavender notes was spot on, and the creaminess of the milk made it incredibly comforting. It’s definitely a must-try for anyone looking for something unique yet satisfying. Scone with Cream and Jam 🥯 The scone was fresh and had a perfectly crumbly texture that paired excellently with the thick, rich clotted cream and fruity jam. Each bite felt like a little bit of heaven. Ambiance & Service ✨ The cafe itself has such a welcoming and warm atmosphere. The staff was friendly, and attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, Sugar Junction delivered delicious drinks, heavenly scones, and a relaxing ambience on every front. I can’t wait to go back and try more from their menu! Highly recommended. 🌟

Probably one of the best cafes within NQ! I’ve been a regular for almost a year and the service never fails to disappoint! The staff are very friendly and attentive. They serve the best hot chocolates and probably one of the best brownies within Manchester! Would definitely recommend this cafe to anyone.

Such a lovely atmosphere and cute vibe. I bring my mom to enjoy the afternoon tea and it was perfect. I loved the scone so much. It was fluffy and perfectly match with cream and jam. I also loved the brunch and rest of the cake and tea as well. Definitely recommend🥰

Had lovely afternoon tea, maybe should have ordered one to share!! The cafe is quirky but worth a visit. Our only small negative is we wished we had been asked which cake we would like, pistachio is not my thing.

I visited Fig + Sparrow based on the numerous 5* reviews on Google. I came on a Friday at 1pm, and it wasn’t too busy. Perhaps 50% of the place was full. There is a good amount of seating available, and when I arrived, there was a small but delicious-looking selection of pastries and bakes on the counter. There is always a wide variety of drinks available on the menu, and a bar at the back which serves savoury food. I asked the lady if the counter items were baked fresh and if they were vegetarian (halal in my case), and she said they were baked fresh, and suitable for vegetarians and halal foodies! The staff were very inviting. The lady explained what each item was, and she even gave me her personal recommendation. 10/10 for such caring staff :) I ordered a Cinnamon Bun and Latte to eat in. Those buns looked too good to overlook. Also, exceptional presentation of all the bakery items. The Cinnamon Bun was delicious! It was sticky, not too sweet, and full of cinnamon and brown sugar flavour. The Latte was also yummy, and had a lovely pattern on top. Overall, I am very happy I visited Fig + Sparrow, and I will definitely bring my friends next time. This place is too good not to share with others! I would highly recommended this place to those who like coffee shops, and just want to sit and chill :D

Top artisan coffee. Top customer service. Top quality food. If there was a cafe tree, Fig + Sparrow would be sat perched on a branch at the very top.

Don't sleep on this place. It was super quiet which is baffling as this is one of the best eateries in Wigan. Food was quick, fresh and very tasty. No frozen muck. Service was very friendly and prompt. We'll be back very soon! Thank you!

Amazing food and wonderful staff. Restaurant is lovely. Marking atmosphere as 4* only due to how loud it was (which is to be expected) but I'm sensitive to noise and it affected my experience. Can't fault the staff, they were perfect. Whoever was working 5th Aug in the evening are awesome.

Rating: 5 / 5

Great food, great service and a shame there weren't more diners. Priced very reasonably, you shouldn't be missing out. On the night we turned up, a table booking for 11 had failed to turn up, with no communication whatsoever. Disgraceful and disrespectful. No wonder these places end up closing down if customers treat them this way. We had a most enjoyable evening in a lovely setting.

What a lovely place we couldn't have felt more welcome! And the food and service were exemplary, thank you gary,I would highly recommend going here! We had afternoon tea here and it was lovely the soup and extra touches make this the best we've had as a group and was amazing value. The other food going past all looked/ smelled amazing. We will be back here what a find!

We came here for a birthday meal, 3 adults and 2 young boys. Staff were so nice and friendly and took the time to talk to the boys which made their evening. Food was amazing, portion sizes were incredible. Definitely be back again.

My wife and I decided to try a vegan Bolognaise at home as I am housebound with illness. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and courteous, catering to our every need. The food was authentic and tasty and the price was reasonable. We will definitely come back again soon as there are other dishes we would like to try. Excellent service, thank you Nuovo Sorrentos.

Absolute pleasure to dine here, amazing food, very friendly staff, great atmosphere. 100% worth a visit.

A nice restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere, although a little quiet but it was a Thursday night before the Christmas rush. Main courses were all (4) excellent. Starters, not quite as much. Mozzarella sticks were bland and small for the price. A smaller plate, bigger sticks and better presentation would have helped. The bread and oil was something of a disaster. The Olive oil was put in the same dish as the Balsamic Vinegar. The Balsamic sunk to the bottom, as it is heavier than the oil. So despite the best dipping efforts, all you got at every attempt was olive oil. I pointed it out on the night so hopefully it will be sorted out for the future.

Came here on a quiet Thursday evening. They had a fantastic offer on for Steak, chips & salad and a glass of wine for just £10! It was all delicious & nice wine as well. Will definitely go back

Rating: 5 / 5

We had a steak deal, which at a tenner was great value. I had a beer so my wife had both wines. £4.80 for Stella in restaurant ain't too bad. Mushroom starter with homemade bread went down a treat. Not sure I would go a l carte as money is tight these days, but it's better value than 'spoons and really pleasant service.

Came for a well expected meal and gallimores never disappointed. The host Howard and the matradee was happy and welcoming. The restaurant was busy and despite this, we had service that was personal and efficient. The food was outstanding. I had the rib eye steak and was far better than any steak I've had from steak hoses including the one on top of Parbold hill. I would definitely recommend and r eturn for another great meal
