Harden's survey result
Summary
This “great lively place” is certainly something a bit “different”: a Bavarian-style beer hall where the food (bacon kroissants with a ‘k’, schnitzel, spätzle and funky pretzel donuts) is more reminiscent of something you’d get up the Alps than in Manchester city centre. Much like an après-ski bar, it’s also all about entertainment, with regular cabaret and DJ nights amplified by further insanity during Oktoberfest. The local Mission Mars group who run it now has outposts in Birmingham, Liverpool and (as of early 2024) a ‘600-cover pleasure palace’, as an impressed Grace Dent put it in the Guardian, on London’s Leicester Square, which has taken over the old Rainforest Café site.
Summary
“Always busy and buzzing,” not least when it lays on dedicated Oktoberfest antics, this raucous Bavarian-style beer hall serves up “great food” of a heavy Alpine bent, from schnitzel, spätzle and fondue to other rib-coating fare. Manchester-based Mission Mars, which owns the joint, is clearly in an expansive mood: following siblings in Birmingham and (as of December 2022) Liverpool, another Schloss is due to take over the former Rainforest Café site on London’s Leicester Square, in Spring 2024.
Summary
Not for the faint-hearted – Manchester's first and only Bavarian-style beer hall (plus bakery), offering what they bill as “mountain frolics” aplenty, i.e. live music, fattening staples like currywurst and copious Pilsner. The hit formula spawned a Birmingham sibling in 2021.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
