I have just returned from the Alvanley Arms this evening with my wife and can wholeheartedly recommend it.
The meal was absolutely delicious; my wife ordered the pork escalopes with cooked pear which she said was one of the best meals out she's had in ages (and we have a lot of meals out!). I ate the chicken breast cooked in cream & nantwich blue cheese served with fresh seasonal veg & a choice of chips or tomato mash - both of which were beautiful.
There are also a selection of Robinson's ales on tap. The place itself is lovely, very tastefully decorated rooms with fires going and comfy chairs.
i had a carvery from here on Sunday and it was the best carvery i ever had id never go anywhere else now, hmmm gorgeous I'm going again this Sunday for certain

Sunday lunch at The Swan fab! roast beef beautiful, friendly staff, well worth a visit!
I love your food Pan y Vino! This restaurant has such a great vibe due to the friendliness of your staff and the way this place has been decorated. See you again soon.
We went to Shelly's murder mystery night for my sons birthday. We had an excellent night, good food, good entertainment, wine £10 per bottle. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, we will definitely go to the next murder mystery. Recommended

Had a wonderful meal at San Luka, lovely service, not rushed. Going again this weekend
My husband and i went after work for dinner and had a lovely time. We both had fish and it was fantastic, fresh and full of flavour.The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable evening. We will be regular visitors.
Went in for a bite to eat on Sunday, food was excellent and service was better than expected having been there under previous ownership. Almost unrecognisable now compared to the shambles that was.
Five friends and I enjoyed a lovely meal last Monday night, really busy (turning them away at the door!), staff very pleasant and food was fabulous. Perfect goats cheese and warm beetroot salad followed by very well cooked steak. They offered a bottle of house wine with each meal (that's a lot of wine on a Monday night!) which was perfectly palatable - be sure to only order red or white as apparently rose is not included in the offer. Puddings were lovely, coffee (after a lengthy wait) was fine. Because of the wait for the coffee and several mistakes on the initial bill they did reduce our final bill significantly and with numerous apologies. A fine night out, recommended.
I went to Tia Tapas tonight (Tuesday)with my Boyfriend the meal was delicious the atmosphere was great, Spanish music in the back ground made me feel like I was in Spain. The staff were polite and friendly too. This is the second time I have been to Tia Tapas and is fast becoming one of out regular restaurants, I would defiantly recommend anyone to try this hidden gem.
Having called in for a meal I was very impressed with the service and the food not just pub grub it's far better

Starters were good,carvery was cold and the meat was very dry (overcooked).For dessert I had apple crumble and this was soggy (microwaved).Wont be going again.There is better locally for the same money.

MMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Lovely, friends have recommended for a while now, but we never seemed to get round to going. We have now, & will return very soon.
i have been coming to beluga for many years and i also have a fab experience the staff are always friendly and helpful. It is always busy and very inviting and i always recommend it to friends and family i am so glad it is still around due to all the competition in Bramhall
was recommended to Britannia Spice, heard great reviews, and they did not disappoint, we went to the restaurant on a Saturday night and where they busy or what, the place was buzzing, even we had to wait for our table it was worth the wait. EXCELLENT 11 OUT OF 10
The food is the best in the stockport area and the service and ambiance matches anything in the various chinatowns in England & USA eg Manchester,Soho, Greenwich NY, San Francisco
booked table for two 05032010 8pm..didn't wait long for table considering they were extremely busy! both had three course meal,three bottled beers and two pints the bill was £46! best Indian meal in a long time with fantastic service on a very busy night..would recommend booking to save disappointment..very smart!
FANTASTIC! Found what looked to be a small restaurant in Knutsford, but ended up to be a quirkly little Tapas place which was big on atmosphere. After being greeted by there live musician and looking through the extensive menu we opted for the a la carte, which, after a little wait, the result was superb! After dinner cocktails in there small bar area was a great way to cap off the evening.
We went here for our daughters 21st birthday we just wanted a quiet family meal together after all the family parties and The Blackhouse grill certainly lived up to our expectations.
Enjoyed a wonderful meal for two - made to feel very welcome from the start. We chose the mixed starter to share - a selection of hot and cold starters which were absolutely delicious, packed with flavour and clearly freshly made. Good selection of mainly Italian wines, we'd have to recommend the Syrah which was gorgeous! We shared the mixed grill platter main which was a very generous portion of chicken and lamb - and the finest lamb chops we'd ever had! We have to follow popular opinion and agree that the cheesecake was the best we've tasted, and wasn't sickly or too sweet - it was perfect. See you again soon!
One of our favourites - we eat here a couple of times a year! Best nachos outside Mexico! Great service, friendly staff, interesting venue, plenty of choice, wonderful food, san miguel on tap - well worth a train ride from stockport!
I loved this place. The decor and vibe is great - clean, authentic and attractive. Nice and spacious and full of Thai decorations. The food was out of this world. There's a wonderful range and lovely staff who are happy to talk about the food. Each plate is beautifully presented with a lovely flower as decoration, and absolutely surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend the prawn toast with a wonderfully sweet and tangy dip, any of the curries and also the lemon fish - probably the best fish dish I have ever had. The desserts aren't as extravagant - the Thai custard is tasty - and the fritters are light and sweet. The service was great, very attentive even though it was busy and there was a lovely ambiance to the room. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the food and company. I'll definitely come here again, and am looking forward to trying a range of different dishes.
