* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

A “great, popular local fish restaurant” where the “brilliant” and “affordable” catch often comes chargrilled, or with influences from other seafood-loving nations (“favourites include the Thai curry prawn dish”); the “recent addition of outside covered tables” is an added boon. After six years in the game, a much-touted sibling in Sale’s foodie-oriented Stanley Square development was due to launch in summer 2023.

“This friendly, well-run Chorlton” five-year-old delivers “brilliant seafood”, with an emphasis on the bivalves of its name along with dishes cooked over coals. A second branch is slated to open in Sale’s new Stanley Square development.

For 33 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).
