While I…read moredidn't get pictures, they do have a seating area in the back which is perfect for having coffee with a friend, studying or just relaxing. Riley was the barista working this morning and he was so helpful when I was indecisive about what to order. I ordered a white chocolate chai breve for the hubs which is his favorite and he said it was perfect. With Riley's help, I ordered the honey almond blossom which is so good. I would get it a little sweeter next time but that's just personal preference. Highly recommend if you live in or around Manchester or looking for something to get you out of the "city".

Lately you have to pay extra for this bread option. Note that in the past the pie came with the meal one night a week.. That ended some time ago and now you get a piece of sheet cake. Unfortunately, the expert pie crust does not extend to the homemade chicken pot pie. Marie Callender or Swanson's frozen chicken pot pie will be just as good for a lot less. Once I tasted the chicken pot pie, I decided to give Stockwell's a wide berth. At $10.50 I can do better a lot of places. However, on 6/19 I braked for a turkey dinner with all the trimmings. I was hungry, didn't feel like cooking and it sounded good. it did not include cranberry sauce, which is on my list of trimmings. Oh well. The gravy was so overly salted it ruined everything it touched - that means the mashed potatoes, the dressing, and the turkey. I mean REALLY over-salted. I salt my food, so I am not anti-salt. I'm not much of a cook, but had I turned out gravy like this, I would have tossed it in the trash and opened a can of store-bought gravy. There is no excuse for anyone serving anything this overly salted - much less a professional cook who is charging you good money. When I mentioned the salty gravy to a neighbor, she said she had heard others comment that Stockwell's over-salted their food. I called the next day and talked to an employee about the situation, asking for a partial refund or a no-charge replacement turkey-mashed potatoes-dressing-gravy the next time it was on the menu. The employee was sympathetic and took a message. I waited over 2 weeks to write this negative review, giving the owner lots of time to respond to my complaint and make it right. I like to support local businesses, but the businesses have to be worth supporting by delivering a good product or service. Anyone can make a mistake, but if you can't address the mistake.....

Like most customers, I assumed the tips placed in those jars were going directly to the employees working behind the counter and making drinks during busy rushes. Finding out that employees reportedly do not directly receive those tips feels misleading and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The staff always seem to work incredibly hard, especially during rushes, and customers tip because they want to support THEM. If tip money is being used differently, customers deserve transparency about that. For me personally, this -- combined with other experiences that made me feel unwelcome -- has changed how I view the business entirely. I'll be choosing to support other local businesses moving forward.

We selected The Moveable Feast to cater my daughter's Bat Mitzvah in the midst of a global…read morepandemic, and they did an extraordinary job. Why did we choose The Moveable Feast? Well, because our congregation had a small list of approved caterers, and my daughter wanted one thing for the big celebration: a chocolate fountain. As luck would have it, The Moveable Feast has a chocolate fountain front and center on its website, so they were the obvious choice. The only other thing the Bat Mitzvah Girl wanted was bagels and cream cheese, which is her favorite food and pretty much impossible to mess up. Especially when the caterer agrees to source the bagels from Zingerman's Bakehouse. But one needs more for a luncheon than just bagels, cream cheese, and a chocolate fountain. That is where Misty Rose entered the picture. She got what we were going for and helped to round out the rest of the menu. I was told we had to get the whitefish as it was a signature dish of the company, and that was a great call. The pastrami spiced smoked salmon was tasty too. Having grilled vegetables was a fantastic idea as well. If I were to have TMF cater another event I might skip the red pepper hummus, the beet and quinoa salad, and the frittata. I make all of these things at home on the regular, and not to brag, but mine are better. However, those each served a role in the buffet, which on the whole was well received. Where The Moveable Feast shined brightest was its staff. They were extraordinary! Misty for both her flexibility and her patience in dealing with a father who was planning an event at the earliest stages of Omicron. Misty also directed me to A1 Rentals and helped to come up with several floor plans to make a 20' x 40' tent feel like a celebratory space. Plus the event staff were simply heroic, setting up the tent while I was at the ceremony and having everything ready by the time our guests arrived. Everyone who braved traveling to Michigan in December amidst a growing pandemic had a great time. The bartender roaming around pushing mimosas certainly helped. As did the tent heaters, which TMF helped to get back online when one wasn't working. They called up the rental company and made sure A1 brought over a new one. Plus the TMF crew even helped to spread out some straw when the lawn got sloppy thanks to the unexpected ice storm. If you've read down this far, you might be asking yourself, "So why only four stars?" Well, if you recall, the critical components of this event were a chocolate fountain, bagels, and cream cheese. The chocolate fountain was everything the guest of honor had hoped for... and maybe more. But somehow, the caterer forgot to bring the cream cheese. And a bagel without cream cheese is like a hug without the squeeze. I know that's not actually how the line goes. Still... it's close. My personal belief is that a business is best defined by what happens when something goes wrong. In this case, their first offer was to simply not charge me for the food they didn't bring. That was not terribly satisfying. Ultimately, the resolution was a sum that was roughly equivalent to the mimosas which helped make our adult guests happy despite the omission. I appreciated the gesture, but would have preferred an outcome that did not feel as transactional. You know, like a tray of sweets, or an "I'm sorry" cake. I know I'm weird about this, but money feels kinda dirty. Although at some point it's best to just take the offer and move on. Which is exactly what I did. Would I work with The Moveable Feast again? Absolutely! Would I recommend them to anyone who asks? You bet. Would they work with me again? I certainly hope so. We had a tremendous amount of leftovers, which included a few pounds of smoked salmon and multiple pints of whitefish. We were even able to salvage some of the ambrosial nectar from the chocolate fountain. More importantly, thanks to TMF we were able to pull off a successful event in the face of some abysmal conditions. I mean... on top of everything a last minute ice storm? And despite being down a person, they did it all with a smile. Bravo!
