    This review is for food served to over 200 people:…read more I've been to lots of events and awards. I've even organised and hosted a good few, but the Mercure just seemed overwhelmed, maybe even surprised we were all there. The actual event and presentations, from the people hiring the ballroom, were great. But sadly the hotels bits seemed to let it down so badly. At the 6.30pm arrival time the bar was 4 deep with people waiting to be served. The solution from the hotel was to take people off the bar and move them into other jobs, then after lots of people were waiting they just announced that as it was nearly 7pm the bar was closing as we needed to be sat for dinner, and that staff inside were waiting to take drinks orders. Which left people without drinks. The staff inside were the ones that had been removed from the bar. Which meant they then had to run back and fish with drinks despite us all being at the bar minutes before. We were then told that the hotel didn't do pints of cider, only bottles, despite me having just been stood at the for 25 mins watching people buy pints of cider. She days she'd double check but came back with a bottle at £5. An hour later I wandered back to the bar myself and bought a pint of cider for £4.60. Crazy!! The meal was pork which was a great size but very over cooked. It was also listed on the menu as being stuffed with cheese and chutney, but no one on our table found any evidence of that. The potatoes were nice and rosemary flavoured however. The desert was a cheesecake which had a pastry base served with a mash of peach icecream and raspberry sorbet. The latter was very weird and didn't work at all for me as it was like icecream that had been melted and refrozen resulting in chucks of ice in it. Finally, the hotel conveniently, half way through the evening, sold out of all its red wine apart from the £40 bottles of Rioja meaning people had no option but to upgrade. For a major hotel that's either a blatant con or very bad management! We've asked if next year's awards can be at any other hotel in the North West!

    Manchester Airport Terminal 2 has been subject to a lot of attention lately, it's currently…read moreundergoing a £1.3bn investment programme which is much needed. The Terminal re-opened in 2021 and in terms of overall looks, the main atrium is stunning and puts the other Terminals at the Airport to shame. Terminal 2 features a selection of places to eat and drink after security, including Archie's, Barburrito, Pot Kettle Black, Pret, San Carlo and Wagamama. There is also a Starbucks before security, but you won't be able to take your coffee with you from here. There is also a small selection of shops including Airport regulars WHSmith and Boots, which is also joined by JD Sports, and Marks and Spencer, although the latter is in the Arrivals area, again before security. While the Airport certainly looks better and in terms of appearance, it felt spacious and comfortable with a wide seating area, it still is Manchester Airport at the end of the day, which always seems to have constant problems from the sky-high drop-off charge for picking up a friend or ordering a taxi, to the staffing issues. The cost to drop someone off at the Airport is £5 for 5 minutes, or £6 for 10 minutes, with the pick-up charge being a set £6, this is similar to a couple of other Airports in the UK, which just seems like another money-making scheme. I first used Terminal 2 after my flight to Prague in July 2022, and the long walk to passport control was exhausting, it makes me wonder if they rushed opening the Terminal solely to meet the demands of flights having replaced the old Terminal 2, as the new security area is still in the process of opening. It's also a bit out of the sticks to get to Terminal 2 from the Manchester Airport Station (for train and tram), it's a walk across a long footbridge, when Terminals 1 and 3 are again much closer, so you will have to allow more time for T2, as I found out the hard way when arriving into T1 from the Doubletree by Hilton, which I stayed before one of my recent trips to Terminal 2. Despite, a good number of food options there isn't much for gluten-free brands I'd personally want to go to, having had issues with San Carlo and Wagamama before who'd be the obvious choices. 3* - The Airport looks great and for a second you'll think you're in an Airport which is run with a shred of competence but I just think it's overhyped and they've spent too much time promoting a fancy modern design rather than working on practicality and the quality of the businesses located inside, but still it's a big improvement on the old T2 already and with some changes, it is hopefully going to get better.

    Flew into Manchester after a number of years. Huge improvement from 2007. Can't complain!read more
