Best Restaurants for Groups in Hyde

Easily one of the best dining experiences if not the best in the city. The quality of the food, service and drinks are all on a different level to dining rooms with treble the pricing structure. The friendly, relaxed atmosphere only adds to compliment the exceptional quality of the experience, with the attention to detail high despite the relaxed feel. A must visit

Honestly the most amazing food i’ve ever had, the service was so speedy and welcoming!! the atmosphere was great and god don’t get me started on the focaccia, it was DIVINE!! This was the best restaurant i’ve been to in Manchester 100%

First time here after reading reviews. We were there on a November Saturday evening and it was full. We had a window table with a good view across the Manchester skyline. Noticed a large outdoor terrace too which would make it a very pleasant place to dine at lunchtime or on a summer evening. Ambiance very pleasant although the music was on the loud side. We're in our 60s and were the oldest diners there - so perhaps we're not the target crowd. Food was very very good. Beef tartare and the Lord of the Hundreds Gougeres were both absolutely divine, but that doesn't take away from the quality of the remaining food either and the prices were very reasonable for a high end establishment. We'll certainly go back. There was much Instagram-ing of food and venue going on from the younger diners! If I had any gripes at all it would be that the service felt a little rushed. It's in the nature of a small plates venue that food comes out as and when it's ready, but we ordered mostly small plates with a main to share and after only about 35-40 minutes we'd bee served (and eaten) everything but the main, so we could easily have been out within an hour, which doesn't really make for a romantic birthday meal (which this was). Also, I was asked when I booked if it was a special occasion so I said it was my partner's birthday. When we ordered a dessert to share it was brought out with a single, very cheap-looking candle in the middle. Like you'd buy in bulk and use on buns at a kids' party. It certainly didn't feel special. In fact we both laughed at the absurdity of it! These were all minor issues though and the overall evening was very enjoyable with some spectacularly-good food.

Always visit at this time as its my birthday however having not been since march the menu has changed significantly and although it was ok today the choice left a lot to be desired and even the al a carte was not very much better to the set menu Hopefully the new menu in the new year will incorporate some old favourites However the young gurl serving was very caring and helpful ans a credit to Alberts

This was our second visit to Fold and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our waiter was a delight and quite funny. He paid attention to our likes and dislikes and the whole team ensured nothing went amiss. The food was excellent, we had slight issue with one course and this was remedied without having to be asked, sign of excellent service. The noise levels are quite loud probably due to the size of the place, low ceiling and the copious amounts of wine being drunk by clients! However this did not deter us from enjoying our evening and we will be back.
