AXE & CLEAVER REVIEWS

We tried breakfast on Sunday and it was truly one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. We had eggs benedict, and a full English breakfast, and in particular the bacon was superb. You can tell that the produce is fresh and local. We will definitely be coming in the future and thank you Alyson for the great service.

We went here for lunch today the food was absolutely amazing will definitely come here again, Alyson and Sophie really looked after us ,we had a great meal thank you.

Absolutely delicious food, very welcoming and friendly staff. The little extra additional touches that Paul , Lace and the team did for my friends birthday was a lovely thought and made it even more enjoyable. 100% recommend Axe and Cleaver for a relaxed meal out .

THE BISHOP BLAIZE REVIEWS

This is possibly the best weather spoons I have been to. Located near old Trafford football ground the atmosphere was brilliant however I did go on Derby day. The locals were loving it ... until Man u lost . The food was amazing and cooked perfectly and the service was good. This was a very busy pub but the barman remembered our drinks order when we ordered another. Well done top rated .

The food in this place is second to none for choice and tastiness. Wetherspoons can have a bit of a reputation but my family absolutely love the food here. The choice is phenomenal and you just can't go wrong. The choice for vegans and vegetarians is really incredible. Really worth a try. V friendly, staff lovely, v welcoming to kids.

Visited before visiting Old Trafford Cricket ground. Nice little Wetherspoon's with plenty of staff and quick service. We ordered on the app and food arrived very quickly under 10 mins. Food was cooked to perfection and prices were very good and value for money. Will definitely visit again if in the area.

THE MARDI GRAS REVIEWS

This stylish restaurant in the center of a gigantic shopping mall offered us the opportunity to take a break from the crowds and enjoy good food and beer. I recommend it.

For a pub based in a shopping centre, namely the Trafford Centre, this pub is phenomenal, all the staff are very friendly and the service is second to none. Food is amazing and presented amazingly, and they are happy to make food not on the menu.

We popped in for lunch, fish, chips and mushy peas. Good old grub, served properly and promptly. Lovely bit of fish, all fresh, nicely battered, well worth the money. Stick to what you know works.
