    We only went for breakfast and was presently surprised!!…read more The decor was modern with a country kinda twist!! The breakfast menu was reasonable and food was nice!! We will be back to sample the other menu as it's quite local for us and they also have a good selection of ales which I now love since my partner got me into them

    I like my steak cooked blue. Seared on the outside, warm right through but kinda raw in the…read moremiddle. When I order steak, I always ask for it blue or as rare as the chef is happy to cook it. I rarely get it blue. So far the only places I've eaten that are happy to cook it that way are The Grill on The Alley and The Grill on New York Street. Until last night..... The White Horse is our local pub, just five minutes walk down the road and my other half and I have been in a couple of times since its refurb for a couple of drinks. Its a lovely homely pub with alcoves off and although open plan it feels like an old country local. Yes the decor and furniture is all new but it doesn't feel sterile and lacking personality like some do when they've been done up. Its a really lovely atmosphere in there. There was a football match being played on the various TV screens and a quiz after the football so it was understandably busy for a Tuesday night. For me that just added to the atmosphere. My better half likes it as it serves cask real ales, some from local breweries too, a nice selection with little samples on each pump so you can see the colour and clarity of each ale. A nice touch. The menu itself is lovely, from classics like cod and chips to orzo pasta salad and sharer plates. I fancied rump steak and my fella had Hunters chicken. Despite how busy the place was it didn't take long for the food to arrive. The steak I had was a lovely thick piece that I was surprised to see had been cooked blue to perfection. Melt in the mouth, tasty and juicy. In fact my tastebuds are tingling now just thinking about it! The hunters chicken looked and smelled good too, and was very good according to him indoors! We also had a pud each, millionaires cheesecake and profiteroles which were both absolutely divine. Profiteroles were coated in chocolate and filled with hazelnut cream, a nice twist on a classic dessert. All in all a really beautiful meal, the quality of the food is excellent, the prices reasonable, and the staff are friendly and gave exceptional service, especially given how busy it was. I'm pretty sure we'll be eating there more often, it really is a gem of a place.

    Brand spanking newly opened!…read more At the heart of Monton's upcoming new businesses, The Blind Pig has just opened renovated that has replaced a previous pub there previously. 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.

    Quite amazing what they have done with this place as anyone who knew it as the Drop Inn will tell…read moreyou. Monton is really going through some serious changes at the moment and will surely become the next Didsbury / Chorlton. The Blind Pig is a bar/bistro offering locally sourced produce, teas, coffees etc.... We had breakfast there this morning, nice food and reasonably priced. Will be back.....
