The staff serve you quickly, but take the time to listen to exactly what you want. They sell bakery good and eggs as well as just meat, and the shop is very clean and well stocked.

It is well staffed by friendly and efficient ladies and gentlemen and is a pleasure to shop in.

Barbakan is an excellent deli, with some astonishingly low prices (a large and sumptuous looking…read morepork pie was less than £3). There's lots to look at and a nice outdoor eating area where on Saturday morning they were cooking up several varieties of sausage, plus lamb burger. I had a delicious bratwurst and was particularly delighted by the wide range of condiments. Excited already for my next visit!

It's such a pleasure just browsing the shelves but the staff are also super friendly and knowledgable about the produce that you do feel like it's a real shopping experience (in a world of no time for customers/instant internet shopping) On this occasion we stocked up on some fine German blue cheese (recommended by the owner) and a lovely little homity pie (£2) with an incredible pastry case. We were out of coffee beans so I also picked up a bag from a local blender (Ancoats coffee - one of two local coffee beans sources they stock) and this just shows that it's a great deli with local and international produce creating a fine balance for the customer! The fresh bread is amazing but they didn't actually have any left. I've just been reliably informed by Yelper Sheila C that they'll bake it to order when you pop in. Time for me to go and jump in the car now then!

Have been trying my best to befriend the eponymous Ludo ever since I first went in. Good wine selection, great for gifts and self-gifting too, a fab mix of functional food and weekender treats. They'll even bake a baguette for you there and then. Doesn't get better than that does it?

From a butcher to a fishmonger, and here's where I REALLY get to be a carnivore. I love seafood and…read moreyou can find it in spades here - it's worth travelling to from the city centre, believe me. Here you can find fish sustainably sourced in the form of mackerel, red mullet, line-caught bass and even sushi as well as the elusive John Dory, my favourite fish, and wild lobster and turbot. Having won an award for Best Food and Drink Outlet from the Manchester Food and Drink Festival, the fish is handpicked and purchased daily, with deliveries coming in two to three times a day. 90% of the fish is wild and the products are seasonal, meaning that you can get freshwater fish and shellfish as well as deli products, poultry and game and even vegetables, strangely enough. The value for money factor is huge here, the decor is clean and cute and it's certainly popular with the locals. Definitely one to travel for.

There's mackerel, John Dory, red mullet and line-caught bass, plaice, salmon, freshwater fish, rare varieties of shellfish and lobster and a wonderful choice of Sushi prepared by an in-house chef. It doesn't end there - if you don't fancy fish you can also buy organic game and poultry Out of the Blue is a great deli too, selling seasonal vegetables, conserves, seasonings and even coffee and pasta, and the staff are happy to help with cooking and serving suggestions.

Pop it in the oven and leave it alone, such is life. And where else would I find such a marvellous butcher's but in Chorlton, that deli boutique Mecca of wonderment? Here you'll find locally sourced free range chicken, beef, pork, lamb and so on, and they even cure their own bacon. It's a wonderful little shop if you're into meat and the prices are reasonable too, plus you can make requests and the butchers there are mighty friendly. If I lived in Chorlton I'd feel so neighbourly popping in here, it really is a local place and warms your heart. As long as you forget that there's, y'know, dead creatures knocking about and stuff. But hey, I might not think they're tasty but plenty of other people do!

A lot of of fuss is made over this butchers on social media especially on Twitter after the owner…read moretweeted that somebody sounded sexy on the phone. That aside its a butchers not a social media outlet so that's what I'm reviewing As I waited in line to get my burger for our New Years bbq I counted 11 people in front of me and 6 behind so it must be quite special . At a reasonable price it seems logical to support your local outlet ! But it is just a butchers and when I was there I thought the customer service was not very good with staff barking at you what do you want! Even simple things like I asked for a dozen burgers only to be replied to with the line. How many is that ! Meat quality is good but they also need to pack it a bit better as I bought my burgers and two steaks and they were just in two very thin plastic bags and the burgers bag came loose and leaked all in my shopping bag but luckily I caught it before driving home ! Good for meat and cheese - just need to work on customer service a little unfortunately ! Maybe it would be better if it was quieter ! Thanks for the burger though they were lush !

When you first get in there is an abundance of brightly coloured vegetables and potatoes and carrots that are still dirty (always a good sign). I knew I was in my kind of place straight away. I love that they try to keep packaging to a minimum, using paper bags for the fresh vegetables. There is a huge range of vegetarian products (more tofu than you could ever need...if that's even a thing), seitan and tempeh in all different forms. I love how their dried foods are all packaged in simple bags with their label on....gotta love no fuss packaging. There is also a deli counter ranging from olives, onion bhajis and daals. I tried an onion bhaji and it was amazing. Although pricier than most supermarkets, I thought the prices were reasonable (being used to Wholefoods etc. in London) for organic, fresh produce and I love that it is a co-operative. I would definitely rather pay more for local produce that isn't mass-produced. I will definitely be shopping here regularly.

Amazed by this place…read more I haven't seen anywhere like it since my travels to Portland. It has a real community atmosphere. Everyone involved, from the growers to the staff to the people shopping, care and it really shows. It's honest. It's exactly where you want to buy your vegetables. There's soil on the fresh produce. Actual soil. No cellophane, no unnecessary packaging, no nonsense - just tasty, local food. The shelves are clearly labelled and well stocked with interesting offerings. They have your staples - potatoes, all the usual veg, cereals, spices, fruits as well as some more unusual choices when/if it's in season. Prices are reasonable and when you pay you feel like you're contributing - something you never experience in a chain supermarket. There's a play area for kids and free apples to keep them occupied - with a little compost bin for the cores. A big green thumbs up.
