A great little Trafford Centre shop…read more We only discovered it by accident really; it's on the first floor, quite near the escalators and lifts opposite Selfridge's. Our two kids (aged 4 and 5) enjoy the escalators and lifts, so I suppose it was inevitable we would come across Whittards sooner or later! They've been helping us out with birthday presents and Christmas gifts ever since we found them. The range of teas and coffees they sell is huge, but it's their various chocolate beverages we like best They also sell a few mugs and so on, which doesn't really seem to be necessary -- I'd rather they devoted the shelf-space to more yummy coffees, chocolates and teas. The staff are friendly and helpful and despite its small size we'd say it's definitely worth a visit.

As you can probably guess from the name of this business, Pound Bakery offers all your bakery goods…read moreat no more than one English pound. Quite why they've decided to offer sausage rolls, pies and pasties at one pound when you can usually get one for a bit less, I'm not sure; even when you do pay more than a pound for a pasty in Greggs or Sayers, it's not too much more and it's not so much more that you'd rather not pay it. Especially when their goods are generally pretty tasty and of a higher quality than here. Their selection of savouries and sweets are pretty impressive and rival the other local bakers in the area, but with Greggs and the excellent Greenhalghs just down the way from them, I'd say that Pound Bakery is a place you should go if you literally only have a pound to spend for your dinner. But then again, you can't get a drink. Or some sort of accompaniment, which we all know is imperative to your lunchtime snack.

As the name suggest every item is rounded to a pound or less, this competes well with greggs and…read moresayers bakery. The store that caught my attention was the Stretford Mall shop, and I decided to go there since 2 pasties for £1 seemed very reasonable. Greggs are usually £1.85 for 2 pasties, so it at least 85% cheaper than it's rival. The selection of pasties seemed very impressive, better than greggs. And 2 loafs for £1 seemed another great steal. Hot drinks are 50p each and cakes are £1, again great value all rounded to a pound or less. Overall great value for money, good selection and quality that doesn't seem to differ with greggs. It caters for everyone, not just those on a budget, like it very much!

There are a few…read moreof his Swiss Confectioners around Manchester - I'm not sure what exactly is Swiss about them to be honest but aren't you a little intrigued about Martin? They had ran out of jam donuts which was a big disappointment but I consoled myself with a Bakewell Tart. The little desserts on their bottom shelf may not look as good as their Mr. Kipling or Krispy Kreme counterparts but I can vouch for the taste. Otherwise, they sold snacks, sandwiches, drinks and delicious looking bread. My boyfriend used to work in a bakery and has impressed upon me the difference in the taste between this and supermarket fare. I will never stray from my sacred White (loaf) though. None of this granary, seeds and nuts business. There will be an update to this review if details ever come to light about Martin - shocking or otherwise ...

Fortunately, plenty do and it's the kind of place workmen make an effort to come to in order to grab a quick butty. I've been here a few times as its just around the corner from my flat. It has a really varied menu - basically anything that's meat or egg or greasy in a baguette or bun. They do a great sausage and egg baguette for just a couple of quid. Most recently this café was my saviour when I was up at 6.30am fixing a flat tyre on my girlfriend's car in the cold. When I'd got the new tyre on, I wanted some hot food quickly and this place was my saviour.
