Bookings can be made via email or Facebook messaging and they're very quick to respond. We had been eying up their menu for about a month but changed our minds last minute when they updated with news of an onglet steak special! For starter I had the asparagus with Lancashire cheese and lemon which were cooked to perfection and had a very refreshing flavour. For mains I went for a Shashuka-style spicy pepper and tomato stew which came out piping hot and served with a slice of toasted sourdough and a simple but surprisingly tasty salad. The stew was thick and had a nice kick to it and the egg was perfectly runny. I was tempted to order sides but wanted to save room for dessert - I went for a tangy rhubarb with meringue and vanilla cream (there wasn't much ginger flavour in mine but it was still delicious)! They've not got their license yet so it's BYOB with 10% corkage charge. There is a range of soft drink from their day time venue owner to choose from though! What I loved most after all that tasty food was that home was only a two minute walk home! I'd definitely recommend people to make a visit! You can always finish the night off by going down to the Sip Club for a drink afterwards!

As a local business supporter I really loathe to give it less than a 5 star review but they've got…read morea way to go before they're really top notch. It's great value for what you get and I appreciate they're just starting out. Hoping that they improve with more experience and they get to continue with their next themed pop-up in the same location! The venue is great for a pop up as it's situated across the road from the Stretford Mall and the Stretford Metrolink! The place is decked out with ski chalet-style wood panelling and some fairy lights, gingham table cloths and a projector showing 80s ski footage. The music wasn't working for the first half of our sitting which we realised much later on was due to a power cut/blown fuse in the back end of the restaurant, including the kitchen. They had a 2-course offer on for £14 and a 3-course menu plus mulled wine and coffee with liqueur for £20. We were not feeling super hungry so decided to get a bottle of Cotes du Rhone (£17.50) and a starter and main each. We went for the French Onion Soup with Emmental Crouton and the Charcuterie with Sourdough to start. Apart from the soup, everything else was shop-bought. We were looking forward to the mains as there was a long wait but as the two larger tables that were there before is got served, the dishes clearly looked more impressive. For our mains we had the Burgundy Ox Stew with Baguette Dumplings and The Tartifiette, which was a crushed potato baked in white wine and cream with onions, garlic and bacon lardons and topped with reblochon cheese. The potatoes were nice, but it was very heavy to just eat potatoes for dinner. The ox stew looked loaded with meat and could've done with a bit more sauce and another dumpling to accompany the lone one in the middle. The mains came with a side of red cabbage that was substandard and some nicer carrots. On the whole, the food that was made in house was MUCH nicer! The service was hit and miss. We had a young man in a dashing waist coat who was trying his hardest to figure out how to fix the lack-of-light-in-toilet situation and a young girl who looked unhappy to be there and clearly lacked knowledge of the dishes on the set menu. But again, this could just be teething problems and stress about the lack of electricity on the night.

During our recent stay in Liverpool, we found Moose nearby (thanks to Yelp)! We were craving some…read morecoffee and brunch before the busy day we had ahead, and this spot delivered. From what we learned, Moose is a small chain around the UK, and known for its hearty North American-inspired menu. Definitely true - the menu had plenty of US classics like benedicts, pancakes, waffles, and hash dishes. I was actually surprised by how many things were available, as the cafe itself wasn't all that big. Small enough even that we couldn't even get a seat inside! No problem at all though, as we were instead able to sit in their outside area which lined a cute cobblestone alley, adjacent to some shops. I've said it before, and I'll say it again for the typical American traveler... in England, do NOT expect service to be what you're used to. You'll certainly wait to be tended too, and the visits from a server are very limited. In no way do I mean this as a complaint, it's actually kind of nice to not feel rushed and practice patience :) All in all, the staff who did take care of us were very sweet! My husband had an americano and I enjoyed my flat white (I swear I've loved every coffee I've ever had during England trips). For food I got the lula puebla, which was a fancy avo toast. The smashed avocado was fresh and well-seasoned, and the toasted sourdough it was smeared across was so thick and delicious. Even more delicious was the chipotle chilli jam that came atop of it. It also had feta, chilli flakes, and two poached eggs. I was definitely a fan! My husband also really liked his eggs benedict that included griddled Serrano ham. I know, I know, travel all this way only to have a US-style breakfast but hey it did the trick! Wouldn't hesitate to pop in another Moose location in the future.

After a heavy night I took my friend here for brunch. On the outside it looks closed.

The service was enjoyable from start to finish..90 percent of staff including the chef looked genuinely happy to be working there dancing to the music smiling as they cooked and served. It gave it a buzz! The menu consists of well..a American diner..from the special board I chose the maple pecan nut shake and the Benny crab cakes.. my friend had the spinach and poached eggs dish with fresh mint tea. The Shake was huge and yummy and while I waited for my food I kept seeing indulgent stacks of pancakes being whisked away. My poached eggs were oozy and perfect and the crab cakes.. well very crabby! And rich..to break it up there was water melon on the side which refreshed the palette. My friend really enjoyed hers too. I really want to come back here :( please extend your opening times!!

We found this city centre creperie by accident, not design, in the hunt for a good savoury lunch…read more The menu looked perfect and all three of us agreed instantly to go in. It's been a heck of a long time since we were last in Chester. In fact, there was no such place as Starbucks or Costa and a Frappuccino wasn't even in the language it's that far back. Starbucks, a second wave coffee provider, was only venturing into Canada when we were last there. Creperies too were places you'd find only in Brittany and Normandy. The great British public would have eschewed, nay nay, pooh - poohed the very thought way back when. But all change; doncha just love it that the only constant is change? Having enjoyed many a good savoury and sweet crepe - doesn't everybody enjoy a good crepe? - in Brittany and Normandy with calvados and crisp, light, sweet cidré we knew done right it would be tasty. So I had the crisp bacon & maple syrup crepe (just over £5) and being moi (well we must nod to the French) I had only one question. Is it maple syrup or that artificial flavoured sugar rubbish pretending to be maple syrup. The reply was instant and welcome: the real Mc Coy. Great. I did have a moment of weakness mind as there was a goat cheese choice but I stuck with bacon. My companions chose an all day breakfast crepe and a Mexican chicken crepe respectively (just over £7 each). We all had cappuccinos (large at under £3 each) and Welsh sparkling water (£1.8), none of yer Perrier or Badoit here, just right too. The service was darn good. The food was tasty, light and perfect - ooh la la - as our French cousins might say. The coffee was alright and more third wave but I'd prefer a much more punchy coffee, but disappointment aside I'll leave it five star for the great service and tasty food. It might even take us back to Chester one day, but I did notice a divine looking (and smelling) Yorkshire pudding sandwich shop, so it might be there next time - now you certainly won't find one of those in Normandy or Brittany, vive la difference.

Booked in for 8pm on a Saturday night, we headed down the incense scented steps and descended into the darkness of the restaurant. The front of house desk is a slot machine, and we were pointed in the direction of the bar to wait until our table was ready. The drinks menu includes cocktails, hard shakes and floats, beer, wine, and cider. Not wanting to start down the road of a white wine hangover the next day, I opted for a cider. Not having any names I recognised, I went for a Jeramiah Weed - tasting not unlike JD & coke, it was unusually delicious! Our table took about 15/20 minutes to be ready, for which the front of house were eternally apologetic and resulted in a free round of drinks, but this just meant we had some time to take in our surroundings. We're talking neon, bricks, bars, wire, photos of criminals, doors marked with incoherent numbers, and boxes marked in the same way to represent convict's belongings. The menu contains everything you could wish for; wings, ribs, fried lasagne bites (yes please), burgers, fries, and steak. Unfortunately for us, they didn't have the lasagne bites, mac & cheese, or bacon wrapped maple onion rings - but we sure made up for it... Our table contained a whole butter basted poussin, bbq brisket, chorizo fried waffles, wings with both tequila lime & frank's buffalo hot sauces, padron peppers, two portions of fries, and two portions of slaw. Served up in the same aluminium trays as Yardbird, it's a down and dirty style of eating (though knives and forks are obviously provided!) Top items had to be the poussin, with a perfectly crispy skin, and the chorizo fried waffles, with little pieces of chorizo and a spicy chipotle sauce. Padron peppers, which are currently a personal obsession, provided a vegetable on the table, and the slaw was vinegar based rather than mayonnaise, meaning extra greenery that I could get involved with. Wings had a nice spice, though I've come to the conclusion I prefer the sauce based kind, rather than the breaded ones served up. Although the brisket had the perfect texture, there was a bit too much bbq sauce for my personal taste. Desserts included fried oreos, ice cream 'sliders' with brioche, and pecan pie - that's if you have enough room... A great meal with friendly service; hopefully next time we can have room for something sweet!

Not bad. Food was plentiful but not great…read more Drink selection is ok. Atmosphere is quite cool but letting kids run around in the evening was not ideal. Was being served by 3 staff who, at different times, within 2 minutes, each asked if we were enjoying our food. They tried to take our order twice so no communication within the team. What started as being quite funny quickly turned annoying as we weren't left alone to eat or talk. Prices could have been lower. When it came to paying we struggled to pay on card because of the signal underground, which ate up another 15 minutes of our night. Would not recommend and would not go again.
