On a blustery winter day a visit to the market was the perfect escape. Plenty of food vendors and stalls or pop into one of the nearby restaurants and wine bars on the row. Will be back! read more

TL;DR - Great venue but a victim of its own success. Alty market set the tone for most of the food halls which you can now find across Manchester, and it remains one the biggest and best. The venue itself is gorgeous, with a craft market taking up half the building and a food hall in the other half. All the options at the food hall are great - you won't be disappointed. But the biggest issue we've always faced here is that it's so popular you can't always find a table. There's plenty of seating, it's just that the place is so popular it's always full which is frustrating if you've taken the trip to visit. read more

Had amazing cauliflower tacos from Pico's Tacos and still had food envy on what everyone else got. Place has an amazing selection and very veggie friendly. The cauliflower in the tacos were perfectly cooked and seasoned and there was corn that added a great crunch. Tacos were also easy to eat (didn't fall apart or spill out as you ate them). Highly recommend! read more

This place is absolutely delightful! Delightful! So cosy, so fancy, it's basically the nicest food court ever. Reserve Wines have an outlet with some delicious reasonably priced glasses on offer. There is also a small cocktail bar with nothing particularly adventurous but a solid range. Food wise the pizza is apparently great but we opted for steak and fish from Tender Cow. The flatiron steak was pretty good, I was somewhat underwhelmed by the butter beans but my dining companion loved them so maybe I was just being weird. Chips were great and apparently her fish was great too. We also tried some salted caramel truffles from the chocolate stall (yes, they have everything good here) on a recommendation from the man sitting opposite us - everyone sits a big benches here and chats to all around them, another great feature. I also enjoyed the toilets which are kind of like a tube station. read more

We went to Altrincham Market today. It being a Thursday the outdoor market was arts & crafts and antiques. This is a lovely market under cover with a very nice food hall attached. Yes, it was cold, but that was not a big issue. However, the size of the market is just too small to serve as a dedicated outing unless you happened be in Altrincham anyway. read more

Who knew such a cute and amazing market was hidden in a small town in northern England. While visiting England, I stayed with a family friend in Lymm who took me here one morning. The market was incredible! It was not terribly busy but certainly not dead. There was a variety of items to purchase from cute handmade jewelry to raw milk (which I'd never tried before and didn't love but I did love the experience) to amazing baked goods and breads! I also got a very tasty latte at the coffee shop in the indoor area of the market. If you're in the area, check this place out! PS the breakfasts here looked incredible, too bad I had already eaten... read more

Michael B's review is spot on. We had dined at Bem Brazil about ten minutes walk away and after a very good lunch we came here for coffees but it was not to be. The place was crowded to the extent that there wasn't a seat to be had and the various traders were flat out. As we walked past one of the stalls we spotted a guy actually weighing the coffee on electronic weighing scale that he was putting into the filter basket the sits into the portafilter to make an espresso. I know enough to know the the perfect measure of coffee for a shot of espresso is seven grams and I thought that the coffee grinder dispensed this amount when operated. I suppose what I'm saying is that this measuring activity is really over the top but then again at the prices being charged here, as Michael noted, is way top end this weighing gives the impression of ultra top notch but I doubt weighing to the milligram makes a great difference to what you'll taste. I imagine they must all make their money between Thursday and Sunday so prices have to be ultra high end to thrive. And thrive they do. read more

This was my first trip to Altrincham market and I'll definitely be going back! The food and drink on offer is very good. From Honest Crust & Tendercow for your face filling needs to Black Jack beers & the fabulous Reserve Wines, there is everything you need to spend a happy afternoon relaxing and stuffing yourself silly. We had the Amatriciana (featuring pig cheek) and a mushroom pizza from Honest Crust and they were both delicious. Great bases and fabulous toppings. We were almost tempted to get another from the menu but needed to save some space for a chocolate fondue from the chocolate stall (apologies, I can't remember the name of it). The fondue was a rich and sumptuous delight. It arrived in a Le Creuset style pot with a selection of honeycomb, vanilla fudge, shortcake & marshmallows and it was promptly hoovered up! Throw in the trip to Mort Subite that we had beforehand (Brugse Zot? Yes please!) and this was a fantastic trip down the road. If you've not been, get on it! read more

It's high time for a review update given the number of revisits these last couple of years! There should really be two listings, one for Altrincham Market (with its numerous stalls selling fresh produce, home ware, artwork and jewellery) and another for Market House, the incredibly popular food hall adjoining it; but reviews for both have been merged into one. As they've different opening and closing times, it could be confusing to first-time Yelpers, but it's safe to say that when they're both open, it makes a great local venue even better. Focusing on Market House, it's been a roaring success bringing additional money into the market town - though some may argue that it has become too dominant, sucking in every £ that locals and visitors have to spend. I don't agree with that and feel it's been a focal point to reenergise what had become a veritable ghost town for those wanting somewhere offering quality food and drink. It's also helped bolster surrounding local businesses (some existing, some new) which is always a good thing. Now the downsides, and they're significant ones - 1) arrive during busy periods and you enter a dog-eat-dog arena for getting a table. The rules are: there are no rules. It doesn't seem to matter if you've been waiting longer than someone else; if seats become available, the nearest people will grab them. I've witnessed arguments breaking out, it's become that ridiculous. 2) The cost of everything. Whether it's a portion of (triple-cooked) chips, a pint of craft ale, a pizza or a scoop of ice cream, it's all priced at a serious premium, so bear that in mind if you were planning on staying here for a long time (which you may feel inclined to do if you had to fight for a table). I keep coming back as there's nowhere locally that offers something similar, and don't get me wrong everything is great quality. They charge what they charge and it's still crazily popular - that won't change until there's some serious competition. read more

I would seriously give the Alty Market House a 5 star rating if it just wasn't so damned busy 95% of the time. If you plan to go on a Fri afternoon I would suggest bunking off work early and on a Saturday or Sunday it is worth turning up prior to 12 if you want to head in for lunch. I guess it's partly suffering because of it's own popularity, I cannot argue with the great business model and aesthetic which works fantastically in Manchester. There are quite a lot of these style food halls across Europe, I'm really surprised we don't have more given the unpredictable nature of Manchester weather. The interior is a lovely original market hall with nearly all the original fittings. Large wooden tables fill the interior to the brim taking up all the available space with just enough room to move between them. Around the outside wall are all the traders of which there is a interesting variety including pies, wood fired pizza, korean /asian influenced dishes, light bites, lovely steaks coffee shop, wine and a beer bar. If you cannot find something to tickle your fancy then you have issues. There is a bit of an Altrincham tax on the prices I think, with places in the city even seeming to be a bit cheaper, but I'm happy enough to pay it for the great vibe in this place. The outside of the Market House has significantly changed for the better over the last few years as well. A much greater variety of stall holders and a lot less tat than there used to be. If you don't want to face the business of the Market House or want to potter around and check out there wears then this is the place to go. There's some great fresh food traders with a couple of bakers, 2 sources of cheese a fish monger and a butcher. The other stalls change depending on the day of the week and time of the month, but there is a good rotating selection. One street away on Central Way but still a part of the market are more changing stalls and two more places to eat one is a Trove (A Levie favourite) coffee shop. read more

You don't survive for more than 700 years without reinventing yourself. And the venerable Altrincham Market, granted its Royal Charter in 1290, has brilliantly reinvented itself in recent years. Gone are the many stalls with dodgy barrow boys selling seconds and knockoffs. Whilst the quality stalls, including the outstanding fishmongers and cheese shop, have remained and been been joined by a fine range of new vendors. Different days have a different focus, with lots of arts and crafts, and live music on many days. It's more like the farmers markets near my home in San Francisco than the Alty market I grew up with. Two things make it much better than a California farmers market: it's open every day (except Wednesday) and it has the splendid Market House food hall. The Market House is a beautiful yet functional conversion of the old Victorian market hall. Light floods in through skylights 20 foot overhead, adding to the spacious feel of a hall filled with 100 plus people. Around the outside are more than half a dozen food vendors, including pizza, steak, beer, wine and pies. Visiting on a wet Tuesday I had no problem finding seats for two at 7pm but it soon filled up. If you want a seat without waiting then you need to get there early doors. I got a couple of beers from Jack in the Box, the outstanding real ale bar, plus a steak and ale pie, with mash and gravy, from the Great Northern Pie Company. The food was so good I've reviewed it separately: suffice to say it was a great pie. My mate got a burger from The Tender Cow, the steak house. This took at least half an hour to arrive--long enough for me to finish my meal while the servers came out to apologize three times. Once the burger arrived it got full marks for taste. We had a second pint but did not linger long after eating. We didn't want to hog our space when so many people were looking for a seat. One final plus point: the market is dog friendly and we saw several dogs lying besides tables. But I have to say that's the only way in which Altrincham Market has gone to the dogs. read more

This old, frequently cold market town has now become a hive of activity all week long. Now the warm atmosphere entices from the street as the subtle hanging lights create a warm glow as it reflects the contemporary wooden flooring and innovative tables. As soon as you step in to the new Altrincham Market you really gain a real sense of community and welcoming buzz. All the independent traders situated around the edge are happy to tell you their story and they are like a big family which is really refreshing for a busy new venture. The week days are just as busy as the weekends, a personal favourite of mine being a Thursday evening, an early Saturday evening and then again for a coffee on a Sunday! I feel I will end 2014 with shares in the place, but I couldn't be happier for Altrincham! Let's face it, it has been needing a pick me up in recent years. Like a wave the market has triggered a hive of energy around the back end old the dark old hospital. What started as the out door stalls has culminated in business for the Belgian bar, Pi, and a new burger and prohibition bar all within the newly titled 'Market Quarter'. The title is going to play a considerable part in the developments second to the service and friendly nature of the traders that inhibit it. A fond favourite of mine is asking Rich at Jack in the Box which ale he recommends, before trying a few anyway. I now tweet my order of bottled Abbor Ale (Monkeys Uncle is splendid!) and he lines them up in the fridge for my arrival. That service matched with the organised front of house manager Lucy creates such a relaxed environment for families, friends and a quaint ambiance for star crossed lovers even. Just make sure you keep your eyes open for a table going spare, as its success proves it tricky to come an secure a table to chomp down on an authentic Italian from Honest Crust Pizza, a firm favourite who will often go through two or three hundred covers a day! The live music on a Sunday adds to the relaxing vibes and proves it doesn't matter what you're after, you will find it at the new Altrincham Markets. read more

When the sun made a rare appearance over the Manchester skies this weekend, the discussions started again: What are we doing? Where are we going? Are we taking the car out and risk being stuck in traffic to one of the few nice day out destinations? We decided to stay local and take them tram for a change and make our way to Altrincham. The mighty internet informed us that there would be a farmers market this sunday and as I have never been to Altrincham before it was a quick decision to make. Being a bit of a foodie (no shit), I was like a kid in a candy shop! So many fresh and locally crafted dishes. All you could ever want and find hard to get in Manchester: fresh bread (Robinsons at the Piccadilly Market is an exception), corn fed chicken, paella, scones and lots of baked goods, organic eggs, Moroccan food, flowers, jams, rubs and spices, bath bombs ( please don´t eat), soups and cheese melts. The weather added definitely to my experience at the market, it was just so relaxing to sit in the sun taking in all the smells and listening to some live music. On a rainy day I probably wouldn't make the trip but if you are looking to go somewhere nice with your kids, without breaking the bank, getting some fresh produce in for your roast dinner and want to support local businesses then this is your place.

Not a bad market at all! From the indoor market areas and food outlets to the ourdoor market stalls, there's something here for everyone, and it has the right mix of hustle-bustle and friendly enthusiastic stall holders to keep you happy, as well as a good variety of stalls and offerings. I'd go here again for a wander about, certainly. But I think I'd probably get food elsewhere, as the food offerings in the main "hall" were pleasant looking, but in my opinion very expensive for market food, especially for Altrincham. I don't think a brownie should cost over £4. read more

Altrincham Market makes me want to live in Altrincham! Wow. What an amazing place. After attending a Yelp event here last year i just had to go back and spend some time here myself. It's a market with lovely outside stalls selling everything from photographs, trinkets and homeware to flowers, home-made cakes and chilli jams! There's a butchers and greengrocers in the outdoor market and some foodie stalls too. Nasi Lemak, Malaysian street food god, has a permanent residence here, along side Passion Fruit Coffee Roasters who do an outstanding flat white. The Market House is the indoor foodie hub at Altrincham Market and is home to Honest Crust, Tender Cow, Wolfhouse Kitchen and The Great North Pie Co - all excellent places to grab a bite to eat. Reserve Wines have an excellent set up here also. It's by far my favourite market in Manchester and a very good day out! read more

Visiting a friend up North and being taken to Altrincham Market for breakfast - what a treat! We took the dog for a walk through a nearby park area and arrived just as it started pouring down with rain. Altrincham Market is located in a beautiful Victorian market hall, with one section dedicated to dining while the other still operates as a market. We started in the former and enjoyed the large selection of goodies - I think we had six breakfasts between the four of us as we just couldn't decide between eggs benedicts, pancakes, huevos rancheros, frie ups, you name it. This place is foodie heaven!! There are probably some healthy options as well, but we were a bit worse for wear and needed pure comfort ... You order at the individual booths located around the main hall, then sit down and relax while your food is being prepared. The stalls next door sell anything from antiques and doggie treats to aromatherapy, cut flowers and growing herbs, as well as sweet treats, home made condiments and artisan bread. I was already carrying too much stuff on the train journey home - would have loved to add a freshly baked loaf. Wish we had an Altrincham near London, I would make this my regular ... read more

This historic market town, which dates back to 1290, still has its centrally located market, but unfortunately it isn't quite what it used to be. There's no sign of the bustle and life that you'd find at other markets, and often there are only a third of the stall spaces being used, making it feel sparse and unloved. However, what few stall were open on the day I visited, we stalls worth buying from, especially J & G Taylor and Son fishmongers, which appears to do a rather good trade, and the florist towards the front of the open section. Inside the market house, again the tumbleweeds blow but the stall holders do their best to stock goods that the punters need. For the most part, the stalls that are open do a very good job of it. In particular for me, the haberdashery and yarn stalls are fantastic. By the side of the building are yet more stalls that specialise in luggage and bags, and although there aren't that many designs that appeal to my eye, there are very useful travel bags and rucksacks and rock bottom prices. I came here on a Friday, so I don't know whether it was just a quiet day for the market. Perhaps Saturday is better. read more

When I started working it Altrincham I always seemed to wander out when the market wasn't on, but the market hall building looked traditional, charming and quite large, so I made a conscious effort to return on a market day (Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays), and like Angela B. I was disappointed by the lack of hustle and bustle. Markets should be about shouting and bartering, but most of the stallholders were just sitting having a brew and waiting for customers. I had a look at some of the canvas prints and photos on the stall outside the market hall, and was accosted by the stallholder who explained to me the history of the famous black and white picture with the builders sitting on the roof in New York. I don't think he was even trying to sell it to me - he was just bored, and as the surrounding stalls were empty he had no fellow traders to keep him company. The better stalls seem to be indoors, including the fishmongers mentioned by Angela, and the florists seemed to be doing really good business selling wreaths and bouquets just before Christmas. Worth a visit if you're already shopping in Alty, but not worth going out of your way for. read more

Altrincham market is a historic market split into two sections. The Market hall which is under cover offers a wide range of produce e.g. fabric stalls, sweets, biscuits and a great fish stall. A Charter market since 1290, Altrincham Market is one of the town's oldest attractions. The market is small compared to stockport and bury but is still worth a visit. The Market offers good quality fresh local and speciality produce, a great range of other goods and products at competitive market prices. Many of the traders have been stall holders on the Market for a long period of time are happy to offer tastings and samples. read more

Hooray for Altrincham Market - a foodie paradise that almost gets a 5 star rating from me (I'm gonna go back super soon and see if it can just nudge it up a little) What a fun and enjoyable afternoon we spent visiting with friends this Sunday. In a nutshell it's a covered market hall restored to it's fine architecture with loads of large tables and benches in the middle and loads of lovely independent food stalls dotted around the outside. 7 days a week (till 10pm most days I believe) they're serving Honest Crust Pizza, great sandwiches, deli items, cakes - while drinks are sorted from Reserve Wines, BlackJack Brewery and a lovely little coffee place (I can't remember the name but the macchiato was excellent) It's definitely a place for all occasions with the clientele pretty diverse, but also super family friendly - it was great to know that we weren't out of place with our buggy taking up all the room! You may need to fight to the death for a table on a busy weekend afternoon though... Just as we were leaving we noticed they have a covered outside are selling great antiques and art - plus more food stalls. Great to see Nasi Lemak there too - supposedly serving every weekend now. As Arnie said 'I will be back' read more

The Market House of Altrincham market is a trendy place for you to have a drink and a meal with some friends or family. It's a great place to relax and connect. When you walk in they actually have their bad reviews posted, which I thought was hilarious. I don't know how you can give it a bad review. It's a great little spot. There are tons of choices for drinks, and a handful of very different food choices. We tend to go to the Tender Cow every single time, because we like steak, and there aren't many places that have a great steak in the area. We have had the pizza before as well, and it's very good. Check it out if you are nearby, and have some chips from Tender Cow for me! read more

So last summer I went to Vancouver and over there they're properly into their craft beers served in brown glass bottles called growlers. You can then take the empty bottle back to the bar to be refilled at a cheaper price. So... after visiting approximately 30 (might be exaggerating) beer/cider/artisan market events and being fooled by the cheap plastic knock offs I gave up on my quest to get hold of one in the UK. So...I went to Altrincham Market to get some honest crust pizza which is amaaazing and I saw something in the corner of my eye. A legitimate glass brown growler! Since then the Altrincham Market has been my favourite places in Manchester! Also...They sell incredible ice cream sandwiches! read more

A wonderful renaissance of a tired market hall, in what was becoming a tired market town. It's now a fab place to hang out with family and friends and to enjoy some fantastic food and drinks. It's brought vibrancy and life back to the town and an influx of new people and businesses. I could sit for hours soaking up the hustle and bustle, sampling the delights from the stall holders. Cakes and coffees, clay oven Pizzas, tapas, steaks, salads - the options are endless and all mouth-wateringly good. Family friendly too, with high chairs a plenty and a little play area with traditional wooden toys and games and baby changing facilities. Brought a bit of Covent Garden to the Manchester burbs! read more

Instead of heading into central Manchester whilst visiting our friends up north we kept it local with a trip to Altrinham Market Food Hall. Entering the high ceilinged, naturally lit, rustic hall I could not believe it when Fay told me that it had only recently reopened after suffering from an awful fire as there was zero signs of destruction. Despite a turbulent first year people still flocked to the market to sample the homely, yet high quality, food from one or more of the 10 independent business, which included Honest Crust (wood fired pizza), Wolfhouse Kitchen (bakery and seasonal food), Tender Cow (rare breed flat iron steak & chips), North Pie Co. (multi award winning pies); Jack in the Box (craft beers), Reserve Wines (BBC Food & Drink Kate Goodman's wine bar/shop); Sam Joseph (hand made chocolates) and Market House Coffee (serving Atkinsons of Lancaster coffee). Although they all sounded delicious I always trust a local's opinion so we went for the highly recommended Honest Crust pizzas. Made from hand stretched sourdough and fresh toppings that are then blasted in a 450ºC wood-fired oven for less than 90 seconds. Served straight from the oven to our table on a wooden paddle, the pie was wonderfully gooey. Sharing a mushroom and andouille sausage (for the carnivores) we enthusiastically got stuck in. As always, their recommendation was spot on, the pizza was unlike any I had eaten before and that is saying something because if you are a regular reader of my blog you will know I eat A LOT of pizza! After chowing down and having a good old catch up, I headed next door to take a quick peak at the 19th century covered market, selling a mix of crafted household goods, jewellery, trinkets, flowers - and even more food. Whilst I love a London market I often feel that they become repetitive, this one had just the right variety of traders to keep it unique whilst still meeting shopper's needs. A great place to sample food and drinks from local independent business with a passion for what they do. http://www.emmainks.com/ read more

Inside Market House is just fab. The selection of steaks and moules and salads is wonderful and the pizza is so good the kids will want to be back for more! Truly magical and congratulations on creating such an inspirational, fun, community spirited place to hang out in! Best in Manchester! read more

This place is awesome! A good selection of food and drink. A bit loud,a bit noisy and a lot of fun. Lively and loud. Find a table- order food, not much else to work about. There is a little play area for ten kids. The beer selection at Jack in the Box was more then enough for any beer snob to find something to fit their taste. The pizza at honest crust was good. I look forward to many more trips to this market. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with Altrincham Market. I actually thought the foodie part would be indoors, but it is undercover. Lots of families and friends braved the cold to have a wander through the markets and the place was buzzing with lots of happy people. We had a wander through the markets and ended up having some empanadas and croquetas from Yakumama which is latin american street food. We had to wait a while for the food to cook and the power went off! Whilst we were waiting we were sat at wooden tables people watching and a lady from another stall asked if we wanted drinks and purchased drinks from our table like a proper restaurant and discussed the rather large lampshades. When the food arrived it was lovely. I was half expecting something greasy with them frying the food in oil. It looked colourful, healthy and appetising and it tasted delicious. I would definitely come again as there are lots of food stalls there that I wouldn't normally go for so it is nice to try something different in a very friendly atmosphere where people bump into each other, share tables etc. read more

I knew Altrincham market before renovation, and it has really changed its target audience since reopening. They are more current, artisanal, and wholesome. If you're after a good varieties of food (from stone-baked pizza, crepes to Malaysian street food) for lunch, and then it's a perfect place to be. I also managed to get some beautiful looking vegetables (I mean compared to supermarkets) for cheap price, and they even gave me some tips on when to have them, or how to prepare them :) read more

Since moving to Baguley, Altrincham is probably one of our closest towns. We have only been in the area a few months but have visited the market in Altrincham quite a few times just for the food! It is home to a few pop up food stalls including Malaysian (Nasi Lemak), pizza (honest crust) and various other cuisines which seem to change every time we come. There is also an indoor seating area where you can order other types of food but the prices seem to be more expensive so tend to stay in the outside (it is covered up) as feel it is better value. There is a wide variety of fruit, veg, fish,  meat and cheese stalls to choose from as well as other arts and crafts. There is also a coffee shop and other stalls selling local produce. We have bought fruit & veg from here (the stall as you walk in) and have always been impressed with the quality and price. We are still yet to try the meat and fish but have no doubt of the quality offered. There is always a good vibe from this place and it feels very 'family' orientated. Although not the biggest it is definitely one of my favourite markets at the minute! read more

I call Altrincham Market the Covent Garden of the North. If you haven't paid this place a visit you are missing out big time! The old Market House was restored a few years ago and now contains a plethora of various fantastic eateries. It is basically a foodie paradise. The Market House is packed out every weekend and you may have to wait to get a seat - especially if you are in a big group - but it is worth the wait. The genius of it is you can all go and choose your own food and drink and sit together to it eat it. The choice is amazing. Honest Crust pizzas are just the best and the Wolfhouse Kitchen's bacon butties are second to none. After your lunch you can go outside to the covered area to browse the many artisan stalls selling all manner of handmade items, plus there is usually live music to keep you entertained. You can dine outside in the covered are where there are more street food style options - tapas, seafood, vegan, crepes - literally something for everyone and everything is freshly prepared and delicious. Another big plus for me is that it is VERY dog friendly - even inside the Market House. It is the perfect destination for a lazy Sunday whatever the weather and there is always a warm welcome! The Market House is open every day except Monday with different stalls and themes on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. read more

I love Altrincham Market, its an all week market with different stalls on different days but the inside eatery has the same traders every day. One thing I like about the eating area is the bench type tables meaning you end up sitting with random people and feels very communal as a result. Its best to visit the market on a sunday as this is the busiest day with the most vendors. You'll find a lot of the artisan market vendors at different markets in the northwest but the Altrincham market is held in a lovely old market building, definitely worth the trip out (even if it is a little far out on the old tram route!) There are some lovely bars to visit around the market as well so you could make an afternoon of it. read more

Always visit AM when in altrincham and have recommended to friends BUT having 2nd thoughts of late .DOGS.On one occasion there was a dog SAT ON A TABLE for its whole visit and while people were eating NOT ONLY in its vicinity but at the same table. On another occasion a waiting on person was hand feeding titbits to a visiting hound prior to serving food and drink to other tables.Very recently a visiting couple of humans were so unaware of what their dog was doing that they failed to notice it approach my 3 year old granddaughter and without invite and warning lick her face , across her eyes ,nose , mouth. She was understandably upset , no apology was forthcoming from its handlers , indeed the opposite.We left with the image of a 'waiter on 'scurrying past , more intent on supplying the dog with water than finding out why we were leaving. Can't bring myself to visit again as don't understand the dog thing. read more
