Stopped by for dinner on the way out of Manchester. The inn had a charming atmosphere and it was…read moreclear the locals liked it. Live music later on would have been a plus but alas we were only staying for a short period. When asking for the wi-fi we were told the owner had it and it didn't work. This was not a major issue but I can see why it might be for some people. The food is good but incredibly simple even by pub food standards. They do cater for vegetarians, which was good for my companion's sake. All in all if you want a night on the town, good English drink, cheap, basic food and entertainment then the globe is for you. However if you're looking for a meal with family then I would suggest somewhere with a larger menu and a more extensive degree of plating.

The service was attentive and friendly. Decor was simple and the atmosphere was nice and casual meaning it is suitable for families, couples, friends or solo. The tapas was delicious. Between two if us we chose 4 dishes which was about right but probably could have squeezed in another. Unfortunately they didn't have some of the items on the menu having had a problem with deliveries that day. The bill came to about £35 and we'd had 4 dishes, one pudding and 4 alcoholic drinks which I thought was very reasonable.

The Wrens Nest manages to feel out of the way whilst being only a ten minute walk into town and…read morepretty much facing a giant Tesco. Yet it retains its lofty ambitions, sat aperch a hill and surveying the area around. Such a classic Sunday lunch pub and one that people love to discover. Various family and friends have bragged to each other about this place only to find it is not such a secret with locals. This is the kind of place you will take someone to try. They must see it. They shouldn't have to miss out. Bearing all this in mind, it is not perfect. The layout is a little annoying for large parties- no tables will accommodate more than six or seven easily and there simply isn't enough space to be pushing and joining etc. Also, you run the risk on a Sunday of running out of certain meats so either there will be a hefty wait, as on my sister's most recent birthday here, or various diners will eat at different times depending on which meat they want with their Sunday roast. The carvery is good though. An ok amount of choice, but enough to satisfy most eager customers. The air is lively and chatty whilst being relaxed. If it weren't for the points above I'd have given it a 5.

Ok, I don't like the name particularly. Restaurant at 54. Alright, woah there rein in your steeds…read moreof imagination etc. But sometimes you can forgive a plain name. This place is exciting because it is not a pub but it is offering up modern British cuisine - thank god that we are not giving up on our food just yet and resigning ourselves to copying the best bits of other cultures and countries. Or is it? There is instead a melange (mix) here at 54. For example, you have Onion soup and gruyere glaze to start, very French and an Eaton Mess for dessert. They do everything from lasagne, to kebabs to king prawns. There will be something here for everyone, I promise. Otherwise they serve hot chocolates, soups and sandwiches during the day like at lunch if you fancy sitting down somewhere other than your desk/ you couch. The prices are pretty lovely too. You're looking at about £15. Plus on Wednesdays and Thursdays you might be able to get a complimentary glass of wine. They sometimes have those skinny metal tables and chairs outside, you know if the summer, but don't count on it as its unlikely in bad weather (which is likely).

There is nothing which can be faulted about this restaurant. Dave and Lynne cannot be more welcoming and with their expert knowledge will guide you through the menu and a suitable wine to truly accompany a superb meal. The choice is not as comprehensive as some restaurants but that is not to say it's lacking in choice. Make no mistake, there is something to suit everyone's tastes and what there is has been sourced as locally as possible. This is definitely a place for those who truly enjoy their food and wine in a place where you can relax and enjoy the whole dining experience. Restaurant at 54 deserves to be recognised as one of the area's top dining places, well up there with the best.

At last ... A new flavour cuisine that's acceptable to all curry lovers…read more This used to be a Thai restaurant but has been taken over by a couple who as enthusiastic cooks have devised a menu of fusion Sri Lankan spicing and steak, but also more traditional starters and seafood dishes. So ... The service. Our hostess (with child) with politeness and gentle charm offered to help us with our choice. 'No no no I know what I'm doing' soon became 'err excuse me what does this mean ?' :-) A mixed share starter had 2 succulent lamb chops with a mint and lime coconut milk sauce, patties (deep fried heaven) Bhajjis (crispy and light) prawn (perfectly cooked and sweet) and bread crumb covered rolls (chicken mash potato ginger and garlic) accompanied by chilli coconut sauce and a date and tamarind chutney... At this point my return visit was sealed :-) Nuff said ! Chicken and chick pea curry and Devil chicken with rice and chilli paste came next and resulted in mumbled exclamations like 'mmmmm' ' oh' 'mmmmmf' 'nom non nom' Light and perfectly cooked rice with thinly sliced vegetables, intense chilli paste, and a stylishly reduced sticky sauce covering the chicken pieces amongst red and green peppers is all I can describe as the spices and their preparation whilst being utterly different to the flavourings of Indian/Pakistani restaurants are similar enough to make any curry aficionados visit a pleasure. So before either the personal attentive service is replaced by hustle and bustle of success, or the pressures of competing with a million other restaurants mean this wonderful new starter vanishes into obscurity (I truly hope not) come and visit Ayubowan and meet its chef and owners and enjoy the subtle differences of Sri Lankan food ! "Mmmmmf" 'mmmmnnn' 'chommnn' :-)
