The success has come from their commitment to top quality food. I can live with that. They also always have great offers on such as the one they have on at the moment; Dinner and wine for two at £30 from sunday-thursday. That's a two course dinner, and I'd suggest the Scottish smoked haddock and the cold poached salmon. However whatever you chose is likely to be top notch as mentioned. Loch Fyne is what I would consider to be one of those safe bets when you are out dining. The Wirral has one and it is arguably one of the best restaurants in the region.

If you lucky you might find a unique catch on display when you visit, last year they had a 1.2 metre Swordfish caught from somewhere in West Africa on display.

I'm sure the slippery fella was included in the list of 10 Most Diabolical Fish on Earth that I was reading about on-line the other day. Anyhow, face to face with my sub-aquatic nemesis, I was truly amazed by this place. They have just about every possible type of fish and seafood one can think of, and more besides. I don't know how common this kind of comprehensive fish/seafood emporium is elsewhere, but I reckon it has to be worth a visit to Manchester alone and if you have some small children you could take, all the better! It's like some kind of edible museum. An aquarium of exotic tastes, no less. The staff were incredibly friendly too. I was told that the Conger Eel is often bought by African customers and you buy it by the slice. Other residents included huge bream and carp, a plethora of jet black catfish nestled barb to barb at the front of one side of the gargantuan oval counter and several decapitated fish heads, which according to the monger, are bought and used for fish stock. Further still along this plank of plenty, was the seafood section replete with pink spider crabs, king and emperor prawns, and an assortment of shellfish that ranged from cockles and whelks to oysters. What a place. Fin.

They mentioned that their menu changes frequently due to the seasons, but we are so happy and impressed with what was recommended to us by the waiter. Service was awesome, they were attentive, fast and the food of course was so good. I ended up ordering a Mocktail, and my husband and his friend ordered some alcoholic beverages. They absolutely really liked it, and the pricing was decent. One of my favorite dishes was definitely the cauliflower. You definitely have to try it.

I went here as a surprise from my brother one time I was staying in the city…read more I'd never done a tapas style restaurant, or really had any tapas before so this was a new one on me. It was quite busy at the time and was good ambiance ... not ton loud but a lot of people in having a good time. Being the first time, the servers said to order around 3 dishes each and share, and it comes out when it's ready rather than in any order. So we went for a charcuterie board, beef skewers, lamb, skewers, potato's bravas balls, and asparagus. Drinks were a house red, and espresso martini. The service was actually rather quick to come out and every single dish was amazing. It was a little bit expensive but it was totally worth it. 6 dishes, 2 wines, and 2 cocktails came to around £100

TL;DR - Nice food, but a slightly sterile venue…read more We came here for a birthday meal on a windswept and rainy night. Finding the venue is pretty challenging in the dark, as you have to drive down very narrow and bumpy unlit lanes. We had an email from the restaurant beforehand advising us that one of the two roads on the approach were flooded, which was useful advice to know in advance! The building itself is a mixture of old and new - built in the 90s, but from local stone it gives the impression of a barn conversion. The interior is warm and welcoming, but clean and modern. We were greeted at the bar and quickly seated at our table in the dining room. I understand that the huge windows at the end of the room offer amazing views, but as it was dark when we were there we were unable to see this. The menu is what you'd probably describe as British classics. I had black pudding and chorizo to start which was nice, but the black pudding wasn't the tastiest I've ever had. Mark had deep friend prawns and calamari which he enjoyed. For our mains, Mark had a steak and onion pie and I went for the steak pudding. Both were nice, but I couldn't help but feel that the presentation of the pudding was underwhelming. It was just slapped on the plate with a sea of mushy peas and chips. And the chips themselves were fine - nice, but nothing to write home about. Dessert was amazing though - I had sticky date pudding which was out of this world, and Mark had the waffles and ice cream which was enormous! This was a really nice way to round out the meal. Overall we enjoyed the meal, but after having heard people rave about this place I came away a little underwhelmed. The dining room is nice but just feels a little soulless - a big empty space with tables and chairs put in it. It didn't help that the bad weather had put a lot of people off attending - as such the enormous dining room felt pretty empty.

Looking for somewhere special for our wedding anniversary meal, I hadn't heard of The Fishermans…read moreRetreat in Bury, but when it was recommended I gave it a look online and definitely liked the sound of it. Despite the name, it isn't a seafood restaurant but a restaurant showing off British quality cuisine, nestled in the rolling hills of Ramsbottom, where you keep thinking you're getting lost until you see the occasional sign popping out of the bushes telling you that you're nearly there. As you park up, you see the wonderful surroundings of the place and hear the rush of a nearby strong stream. Very pleasant. You walk into the front doors and the first thing you see is a nice bit of provenance, showing the construction of the restaurant in 1992. I love things like this, it's nice to see people being proud of something they've put their passion into.You then pass by a large whisky bottle shop. Surprising, but a nice touch of class! Greeted at the bar, we give our names as we made a reservation and we are taken through to the next room, which is a real dramatic first impression. You walk though a small arch and into an extremely large room with a gigantic window at the far end, looking out onto the rolling moors. It's definitely a "wow" moment. The room is quite modern and a touch on the stark side, but the view makes up for it. The furniture is large chunky modern wood, and generously seated so everyone has room. We're seated and given our menu along with the day's specials. We order a couple of Diet Pepsi's, and have a nosy at the menu. The drinks take a while to appear, but I'm happy to say that two different members of staff came to update us about the situation (a problem with the pump), and gave us some water in the meantime. Service like this is what makes a potentially poor situation well handled and happily received. We start by ordering the garlic bread, described as oven baked focaccia brushed with garlic butter and served with aged balsamic and duo of pesto. I'll get this part out of the way because this was the only underwhelming part of the experience. When it came out we were quite surprised at how small the garlic bread was considering it was listed as "to share" and was £8.00, and despite being a nice piece of bread, we couldn't actually taste much garlic or seasoning at all, which was a shame. However the pesto and balsamic worked perfectly with it and saved it a little. For our mains, I ordered the beef wellington. I've never had beef wellington in a restaurant before and it seemed the perfect "special" choice. My partner ordered the steak and mushroom pie. Both arrived very pleasantly presented. The quality here was superb. The pie was bursting with flavour, and the pastry was perfect. The chips were also just as crunchy and satisfying as you'd hope! The beef wellington was stunning. I was asked if I wanted it pink or cooked through... it's nice to be asked but if you're ordering beef wellington cooked through you might as well order a burger. The beef was pink and juicy, the mushrooms superbly flavourful, and although the pastry was a touch soft, it was still delicious. The part I actually enjoyed most however was the dauphinois potatoes, which was a brick of beautifully flavoured and seasoned layers. I enjoyed every last mouthful of it, and the dish as a whole was really excellent! We were really impressed by the food, and so just had to order dessert! My partner opted for the sticky date pudding, and I opoted for the Baileys and white chocolate cheesecake, which they kindly allowed me to substitute chocolate ice cream for their cookies and cream ice cream as I'm not a big fan of chocolate ice cream. Both came nicely presented but the cheesecake really did look special! The date pudding was rich and comforting, and the perfect way to round off the meal. The cheesecake was deceptively sized! It looked little but was a big portion, and was superbly creamy and tasty indeed, but the cookies and cream ice cream was actually superb, I really enjoyed it and could easily just have got three scoops of that! The one detail I found odd with the venue was that the ladies toilets were a door just off the main room, but the gents are actually out of the room, through the bar, down a corridor, and by the front door... very odd! More than once we saw blokes going to what they assumed was the gents toilet in the next door along, only to wander into a cloakroom and be quickly chased by a member of staff directing them the right way. The service is friendly and professional, but we did on occasion find it hard to get the attention of some of the staff, despite there being quite a few around, but when we did, they were happy to help and very professional. Will definitely return!
