The Albert Square Chop House in Manchester

For the place that puts themselves on the market as "coffee house" the quality of coffee is very mediocre. Waited for my latte about 20 minutes, had to remind the waitress that I'm still waiting for my order. Latte came luke warm with sour aftertaste so wouldn't risk to take espresso there. The cup and plate weren't washed properly with stains of old coffee on them. Best i can say is not worth the money. Not impressed

Lovely food and great service. Nice clean and welcoming atmosphere. Staff were very helpful with accessibility issues with my wheelchair and had a separate entrance with lift to get me inside. The menu was very interesting and lots of great options to choose from including the lunchtime options since it was midday when we were there. We had a great time with a lovely relaxed meal celebrating my daughter's graduation and would definitely go again. My daughter and her partner have been several times already and this is why we chose to go there to celebrate. Tasty food, relaxed atmosphere, would definitely recommend a visit and can also heartily recommend the beef hash brown. However we were told that the menu would be changing in the next few weeks so that's quite exciting to see what will be available then

My husband and I visited here and we had a great time. I had the scollaps and my husband had the sourdough and butter. For mains I had the charter pie, it was the nicest pie I have had in a while, my husband has the flat iron chicken. The portions are very big and very good value for money. Georgia served us and was so lovely and helpful.We will be back

This is the second time we've been and it doesn't disappoint. Classic pub grub is given a glow up, delicious food, fantastic service. Can't fault it. Highly recommend.

Nice friendly staff, slow bar service for drinks and food was gross. Truffle mac and cheese was disgusting, and the vegan burger was gross! Steak and chips pulled an extra star in for NYE.Sadly first and last time.

Fantastic service and the food was some of the best pub grub I’ve had in Manchester.

Finally somewhere has got it right! 100% Amazing "pub" food, better than what you'd expect without trying to be something it's not. Prompt friendly staff. Very reasonable prices. Comfortable seats! Simple ingredients blended in such a way to make amazing dishes. After talking to one of the waiters, we discovered everything is cooked from scratch. one of the best meals ourt we've ever had. If we return to Manchester again, we will definitely be calling here.

Was invited to the launch party night of The Fountain House last night and it was amazing. The venue is incredible, across all three floors the decor, ambience and cosy feel was surreal within the city centre itself. The food samples were incredible, particularly the corn beef hash 🤤 Staff were amazing, and although it wasn’t a normal sit down service they were friendly, chatty and looked very happy to be at work, which is important :)

The trouble with setting high standards and expectations is that you have either meet or exceed them.In this it was good but only close to excellent. Close, but no cigar.Ordering on the website is easy and the frequent offers in my email inbox are appreciated. Having left an Easter weekend order until late and not being sure of my plans, I opted for collection over delivery.A call received shortly after to confirm acceptance and agree a collection day, then radio silence.On the day and as previously, any attempt to call rings out until a recorded message advises that the mailbox is full. From previous orders I have the mobile number of one of the staff so text him to make final arrangements and again when I arrive at the Albert Square location, parking outside Red's True Barbecue in a meter bay.Last time, they brought my order out but this time I'm waiting on the steps until my presence is acknowledged, then El Jefe trots past me and in. He reappears with my order in a box and I'm home to squeeze it all into the fridge. I don't check the contents or recipe sheet.On the day of tucking in, I get it all out of the fridge and loom at the recipe sheet. It's for a different menu. I've got the Easter lunch special for one and the pork belly and sticky toffee for another.The website helps me with some of these but it's then that I also realise that I should have Yorkshire pudding and two gravies.I have one, large, pot of gravy and no Yorkshires.A bit of trial and error and the meals are cooked and served.Once on the plate, it's all good albeit that desserts don't come up to the same standard on size or quality as the starters and mains.

Incredible. Waitress is one of the friendliest and most considerate I have ever met, and the food is to die for.We had the artisan bread with dripping, and spicy chipolatas for the table. The bread is wholesome, full of grains and perfect for swiping through the dripping.The chipolatas (6 in a small bowl) burst with flavour and juices and pack a fiery kick.The chicken and leek pie is THE single best I've ever had, undescribably delicious.My partner ordered the fish and chips and was kind enough to share a bite. The haddock is large and flaky, very pleasant, while the batter is light, crispy and perfectly compliments the fish.The chips are delicious, crispy outside and fluffy inside and by no means dry.The portion sizes of the mains are exceptionally generous and the prices are very reasonable, given the quality of food.The atmosphere is friendly with the restaurant being downstairs, a perfect temperature and a grateful escape from the sudden heatwave we are currently experiencing. It's rustic, heavy wooden tables, leather booths, and wood panelled ceiling. Soft lighting, not quiet due to the bar upstairs but muted enough to hold a conversation without having to raise your voice. They have found the perfect balance here and I would absolutely recommend for a couple, or a group of friends.
