We have had our wedding anniversaries, birthdays and just evenings out at the Lounge. It's well worth a visit." - brian knowles, worsley - member since nov'08 (24/7/09 - visited on a saturday evening) |
| | "I was having a meal with friends I have not seen in some time, so to go to the English Lounge was a joy to be honest. The people are all friends I worked with in London, so they are used to paying lots for good food, so they were mightily impressed with the food and the bill. Great staff and great food and all over a great place to eat." - patrick gibson, manchester - member since apr'09 (26/5/09 - visited on a saturday evening) |
| | "Going for Sunday lunch at the English Lounge, I can honestly say it's one of the best meals we've had in an English style restaurant for a long time. We had a pram with us, which they accomodated with a smile (so often there's a grimace). They put us on a table which allowed us to have the pram next to us. The waiters were great and friendly and the food was superb and plenty of it. The starters were large and, knowing we had a main course coming, we didn't manage to eat it all. Our waiter even asked us if we wanted to wait a little while before our mains. The whole experience of our visit was great and we would recommend the Sunday roasts to anyone. We will definitely be going again." - Susan Wardley - Member since March 2009 (6/4/09 - visited on a Sunday afternoon) |

| | "The English Lounge offered excellent food, which was spot on. Service was fantastic - you were made to feel very welcome. I will definitely be returning and recommending the English Lounge to my friends" - Ann Knowles, Manchester 13/1/09 (visited on a saturday evening) |
|  "Recently we were asked by a foreign customer to recommend a Manchester pub that served great British food. We racked our brains and ended up pointing them in the direction of the usual chop houses and the overpriced tourist spots in the Shambles. A few days later we found ourselves sat upstairs in the cosy restaurant in the English Lounge, opposite the Arndale Market, and we discussed that if we could turn back time, we would have redirected our customer to this Northern Quarter gem instead. It's superb! Proper Northern food served with no pretence at inviting prices - honest dishes like cooked-to-perfection Bury Black Pudding (£4.90), tasty Fish & Chips (£7.50), excellent Roast Lamb Henry (£11.75) and a wide selection of salads (all £6.95), each served in portion sizes even an American would be familiar with. Despite the fact the restaurant was rammed, the service was amongst the best we've experienced in Manchester and the ingredients were as fresh as the menu described. The wine list had offerings from all around the world which seemed to appeal to the female diners, of which there were many, although being pub food, it would be rude not to opt for a cask ale (Boddies, Timothy Taylor and Pedigree were on offer). All in all, it would be hard to find better value for money quality pub grub in Manchester - if you know of somewhere let us know, but only after you've paid a visit to the Englsh Lounge first - you will not be disappointed!" - restaurants of manchester 16/4/08 (visited on a friday evening) |
