Hale Barns, Thai - Restaurant Guide

2023 Review: This “family fave” has assembled a greatest hits of East Asian cuisine, from satay skewers, spring rolls and gyoza dumplings to nasi goreng, pad Thai, ramen and laksa. They’re “geared up for a great family experience with a top attitude towards children” – who will always find something to eat on the menu. There are now three branches in Manchester and one in London. Top Tip – “love the secret off-menu chicken options!”.

An “excellent Thai restaurant in the heart of Altrincham”, which has provided “very friendly service and good-value meals” for more than a decade – “its lunch for £16.95 for 2 courses is a bargain”. There are branches in Wilmslow and Sandbach, the latter “always a treat to visit, the staff are so polite and welcoming”.
