The decor looks fresh, new, chic, understated and has that grey wood varnish touch that seems to be quite in at the moment. It's a bar but also a restaurant although it still has that pub feel but the new era pub feel. We went for the food and the cocktails - on a Friday night! This is the real time to test a new eatery. They did surprisingly well. We didn't wait for ages, had fun with the cocktails and discussing the place. Cute little notes were hung from table decorations and writing on the walls. Selection: Starting sharer platter - Italian meats, rocket, olives, mozzarella Soup and chips Random I know, but it worked. All of the food was tasty and fresh. Even through the renovation, it still attracts a lot of the old crowd. We were sat next to some people who didn't stop saying the F word through our latter part of the meal. This didn't put me off the food and the experience we'd had so far and I think it genuinely deserves 4*'s.

He complained it was really dry and a bit tasteless. So all in all not very impressive. We also ordered a Sunday to share but it didn't have half the ingredients on the menu, so was basically just ice cream and brownies.

The @worsleyoldhall is a great historic building with a great old English pub and restaurant inside. Great staff there! Ate at the bar and had a great time chatting with them while enjoying a pint or two and great traditional fare. Started with Italian mixed olives well, just because! Went with chicken liver pate with carrot and apricot chutney and never heard of toasted bloomers but it's a nice crusty bread and the combination of the three was amazing in between sips of a great local beer. For the main course had the roasted pheasant breast stuffed with wild boar and apricots. Had a celeriac (celery) purée and juniper gravy. It was a cold rainy evening and this was such a delicious mix of flavors. The boar and pheasant complimented each other so well and the apricots and gravy and purée made every bite moist and flavorful. Was wishing I saved one piece of bread to clean the plate! Last, finished with sticky toddy pudding that was a surprise. I never knew older rustic desserts were referred to as pudding. Came with a toffee sauce to pour over along with a scoop of ice cream and was a perfect finish. Just a short walk with a full belly to the hotel next door. No trouble sleeping after that hearty English dinner and good company by the staff there. If you're in the area add it to the list! Beautiful historic building, great food and drink, great people!

Get out of my head, Mr Amazing Pi Dude! Pieminister pies are always good, but the way they're served can have a certain level of influence. These were done brilliantly... minted mushy peas, vegetarian gravy, the pies perfectly halved and warmed, buttery delicious mash, and it didn't take long to arrive either. When one's got the swimming pool/caffeine tremors and it's cold outside only a pie will do, and this is now my favourite place to come for my fix. Plus, all four flavours of Timmermans? On the same menu as Delirium? Reasonable prices? Are you trying to *kill* me?

Pi gets it right on all of the above and was one of the nicest spots I've hit while in Chorlton. Situated just opposite from Unicorn, the bar is kind of like sitting in a shop with high risen full fronted windows and probably wouldn't sit more than 40 people throughout. For us it was perfect as there was a group of 8 who could easily take a load off on a Friday night and chat with the music not too loud and at 11pm'ish - not too busy as well. They have exciting and interesting beer menu's on each table with the usual suspects from Belgium, the U.S craft beer revolution and local and UK ales on the pumps towards the back. The staff were friendly and fitted in perfectly with this being a kind of place you might pop out of your house for one before heading home to get on with family life. I love these neighbourhood places, I could just do with living nearby to do this... Due to eating at the nearby Tibetan Kitchen, I didn't get the chance to try their pies but they're all from the excellent pieminister so I'd highly recommend getting one if you're in there through the day!

I had fish and chips for my main and it was delicious and a good portion. I had a chocolate volcano cake for dessert which was nice but not mind blowing. Overall, I enjoyed my meal but I'm not sure I would be rushing back to try the main menu. The cocktails were nice, only £5.50 from 5 on the happy hour deal.

Following a recent refurb, the bar and restaurant is large, airy and contemporary - there's seating for well over 100, with seven private booths available. It resembled a posh hotel lobby more than a restaurant to me. We were only there for a light-ish bite, so sat at a table by the bar and scanned their bar menu, complete with soup, salads and sandwiches (all £5-£10). I was tempted by the Ploughman's but settled on a Club Sandwich. The restaurant's lunch and early dinner menu contains more substantial dishes if you're here to eat before or after catching a show. You can have two courses for £22 or three for £27. Though it was a Friday it was very quiet in there; in fact the staff seemed to struggle to cope at times with an influx of nine people. Some of our dishes arrived fairly promptly, whereas one of our party wasn't served until some of us had almost finished eating. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back here for lunch - you get tastier Club Sandwiches at nearby CraftBrew - but I wouldn't say no at trying them for dinner. Tip: you can get a draught beer for £1 when you buy a burger from the bar menu.

Service was lovely and polite although still working through the kinks. Overall, great place to hit up before a show at the theatre, or after, depending on timing. Food was delicious for sure and very very fresh. Only thing that can be a bit shocking is the price. We were incredibly lucky to have the final tab sliced in half, but this is definitely a splurge for regular price meals. So...open those wallets wide!
