Staff very pleasant, polite and helpful. Very small car park, be prepared to find alternative parking. A couple of disabled spaces. You have to book in advance and pay £5 per person deposit. It's quite expensive but the food is very good! Shop on ground floor (a little untidy and selling biscuits with "short sell by date" which actually expired last month! Restaurant is on 1st floor, lift available. The restaurant floor needed sweeping and there were cobwebs on the light fittings. Toilets were clean apart from the taps, filthy where tap meets the wash basin (see pictures) and the taps only trickle. There's a large window where you can watch the kitchen staff at work. Plenty of seating and occasional live piano music.
The food is 5 stars all day long but there are a couple of issues here; the parking is simply inadequate for the size of the establishment and it is vital to organise your visit and book in advance. "walk in" is possible but you are likely to be waiting a long time.
We had a beautiful home made apple pie with custard and potato cakes. The 'small' coffee pot was enormous and very good quality.
We came here as my partner is a big chocolate fan, we organized a trip to Manchester around Slattery. We got the tramline from Piccadilly here so we didn't have any issues with parking. It's about a 5 min walk from the station so not far at all. We loved walking around the shop downstairs but we really enjoyed our meal here. We started with a sandwich each and then had desserts, all of which were delicious. The staff were extremely friendly and the atmosphere was great with the piano playing in the background. Definitely worth the visit
