Harden's survey result
Summary
“A good-value short menu, which makes clever use of seasonal produce, plus an imaginative wine list” have created a strong local reputation for this restaurant, wine bar and bottle shop (named for the Edwardian creamery it occupies), where you eat on benches. Many of the wines are of the hip, low intervention variety.
Summary
Former Aumbry owner “Mary Ellen McTague is no longer cooking but she has left the stoves in excellent hands” at this award-winning two-year-old – a restaurant/wine bar/bottle shop, in an Edwardian creamery, with “basic” school benches. By day, the focus is on cakes, breads etc courtesy of co-owner/baker Sophie Yeoman. Come the evening, “small, light dishes from the minimal menu are cleverly executed” – albeit “not for those expecting a robust plate of food”.

Summary
This minimal-looking, spring 2018 newcomer in Chorlton in a converted Edwardian creamery – a crowd-funded venture from former Aumbry owner Mary Ellen McTague and baker Sophie Yeoman – opened too late for survey feedback, but has set Manc’s foodie media abuzz, winning best newcomer at Manchester’s Food & Drink Awards. Although there are a few ‘proper’ dishes on the minimal menu and there’s more ambitious cooking in the evenings, its prime strengths especially by day seem to be its baked goods (cakes, breads, pastries, etc), cheeses and coffee.
For 31 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).
