Allotment Bar & Restaurant in Manchester

Very limited menu. Had run out of lots of things. Waited over 1 hour for food, which when it came was good. Young staff with limited initiative. Distinctly average. Now called Herd.

Really nice series of different bars in one place. Food looked great and had good selection of beers.

Went in for a few drinks after dinner. The food smelt amazing so we decided to order a few small plates, the Mac and Cheese is AMAZING. It seems they change the menu often, this is a good sign of sustainable sourcing. Would 100% recommend.

The food was amazing, I had the herd burger and it is arguably the best burger I've ever ordered at a restaurant. The service was exceptional as well. Our food was delayed and we were informed frequently about the delay and looked after. The only issue I had was that our tables food didn't all come at once.

Cracking little bar, good staff, decent pint, love the decor. Nice atmosphere but not too busy. Good work.

Really nice cocktails, especially the watermelon sugar. Great service and good selection of beers.

Vegan review:Went to the allotment when it was at the other location and tried the 10 course taster menu!This time wasn’t overly hungry so ordered sides. The cauliflower hot wings were the best of what we tried, I would love to make my own after trying such deliciousness.Service great, location fab, food lovely. Will be back!

Attended the ginstronomy night and I am so impressed. It was a four course meal with gin pairing, the theme was Japanese inspired food which was paired with kokoro gin and liqueurs.Our first dish was Tempura tofu in miso broth with soda noodles, edamame and sesame. This was so delicious, very rich and silky texture of the broth and amazing umami and spicy flavour. This came paired with a cherry blossom gin liqueur with pomegranate.2nd course was charred tuna tataki with pickled asparagus and enoki mushroom. Another amazing dish full of flavour, the tuna was delicate and omg the mushrooms were heavenly! Paired with a refreshing tall cocktail made with blueberry and lemongrass liqueur.Our 3rd dish was Teriyaki lamb cutlets with aubergine and miso paste and crispy noodles. There was so much lamb here and it was blushed to perfection, tender and succelent. This dish arrived with a gin and tonic using the kokoro gin, a very citrus drink.Finally I was wowed again by the dessert. A matcha pannacotta with yuzu and a sesame macadamia. The pannacotta was perfect and so silky and amazing with the macadamia

Gin bar, a jewel in Manchester, full of character and ...gin. lovely atmosphere and great character. Signature cocktail and wide gin verity. Food was excellent, comforting, delicious and generous. Great friendly and warm service, fairly priced #LetsGuide

I was expecting more "allotment" but plastic flowers and a few plants in boxes made it seem like someone's good idea for a twist on a bar/restaurant. If this was done in New York or California it would on another level. Must try harder.PS: The person who served us was unfriendly.
