TL;DR - Good food and beer, a great spot in Prestwich village.
We'd been to Folk before lockdown, but came again to take advantage of the "eat out to help out" scheme. Folk is based in the unit which used to house Solita, but has expanded into the neighbouring unit and also now has a beer garden so it's a much bigger venue.
First time we went we had a great brunch; this time we both went for burgers - Sparky had the buttermilk chicken burger, I had the classic beef burger. Both were really nice and came with a nice side of fries and some spicy mayo. There's a great selection of local beers on tap - including our favourite, Mango Unchained.
Social distancing was in place with seating well spaced out and the beer garden gives you the opportunity to get some fresh air too (shame about the noise from the Bury New Road though!). There was no need to book a table, just turn up - scan the QR code as you arrive for track and trace and that's it. Toilets are upstairs, very clean and you don't need to touch any door handles to get in or out - take that, coronavirus! read more
