A beloved neighbourhood café, bakery and general store on Manchester Road in Heaton Chapel. The Sunday roast is frequently cited as one of the best in Manchester, the Everything Egg Bap is a weekday institution, and the homemade cakes draw visitors from across the Heatons. Dog-friendly, dairy-free friendly and consistently brilliant. Open Saturday from 9am.

A stylish independent cocktail bar and small plates eatery on Heaton Moor Road. The Korean BBQ chicken, squid and sharing plates are all praised, with a strong cocktail list and a relaxed, intimate atmosphere. Open from noon on Saturdays. A welcome addition to the Heatons strip.
“Popped in for a quick pint. Excellent customer service, very polite gentleman behind the bar. From the looks of things they were also running a January deal as the price was very reasonable. The Krombacher was poured perfectly and it's a great spot to relax.”
