Best Historic Restaurants in Cheetham Hill

Really great experience! Great food was expected but the service was extraordinarily considerated. The atmosphere in the old bank building is unique!

Fabulous surroundings great service and good food at great value

Staff v helpful with my coeliac requirements :) Was fun making my pancakes

First time here after reading reviews. We were there on a November Saturday evening and it was full. We had a window table with a good view across the Manchester skyline. Noticed a large outdoor terrace too which would make it a very pleasant place to dine at lunchtime or on a summer evening. Ambiance very pleasant although the music was on the loud side. We're in our 60s and were the oldest diners there - so perhaps we're not the target crowd. Food was very very good. Beef tartare and the Lord of the Hundreds Gougeres were both absolutely divine, but that doesn't take away from the quality of the remaining food either and the prices were very reasonable for a high end establishment. We'll certainly go back. There was much Instagram-ing of food and venue going on from the younger diners! If I had any gripes at all it would be that the service felt a little rushed. It's in the nature of a small plates venue that food comes out as and when it's ready, but we ordered mostly small plates with a main to share and after only about 35-40 minutes we'd bee served (and eaten) everything but the main, so we could easily have been out within an hour, which doesn't really make for a romantic birthday meal (which this was). Also, I was asked when I booked if it was a special occasion so I said it was my partner's birthday. When we ordered a dessert to share it was brought out with a single, very cheap-looking candle in the middle. Like you'd buy in bulk and use on buns at a kids' party. It certainly didn't feel special. In fact we both laughed at the absurdity of it! These were all minor issues though and the overall evening was very enjoyable with some spectacularly-good food.

First experience at Sterling Bar for birthday cocktails with the family. ( We go to Schofields bar regularly. ) We all absolutely loved it. Brilliant vibe and loved the music. My daughter said it was the best cocktail she’s ever had. Will now be our bar of choice when in centre of Manchester. We will definitely be back.
