Couple from last night's Flagstone Winery 5 course taster. 5 fantastic South African wines paired with a themed 5 course taster menu. Highlights include - Braised beef short rib glazed with Mrs Balls chutney, squash puree & biltong dust Lemon baked Hake with sweetcorn puree & a salt and cracked black pepper rice cracker Smoked chicken breast with pea puree, lemon oil & biltong crumb Feels good to be back delivering our supperclubs... Catch us in July for our Balfour British wine night ❤️

Happy 30th birthday to my number one & only ❤️ I love you so much here's to the next amazing year together ❤️

It's Sunday again, so you know what that means 🤤 Roasts will be flying out between 12 and 5 – come and give them a try to see what all the fuss is about!

✨ SUNDAY ROAST SERIES @lock84mcr ✨ We were kindly invited down for their second ever Sunday roast service — and after loving @stationsouth ’s roast, we came in ready for @chrshall to amaze (and slightly hungry… obviously). And honestly? What. A. Treat. Here’s the low-down, no gravy-soaked punches pulled: • Value: If you like wine, you’re in luck 🍷— a full roast plus a large glass of Rioja for £25. If you don’t like wine… well… it becomes a character-building experience for your wallet. • The gravy: damn damn damn 👏 Manchester liquid gold. Unlimited too — though it arrived in adorable tiny boats ⛵ (the commitment to aesthetic is real). • The veg: chef @chrshall and his Vimto obsession? Weirdly working. The Vimto-braised cabbage slapped. Carrots + buttered greens = heavenly. Even snuck some crispy cabbage as a base for the lamb croquettes. We’re BIG fans. • Yorkshire pud: Soft, fluffy, crispy-edged perfection for me — though it did split the table. Team soft? Team crisp? Let us know 🥲 • The meat: Portions slightly polite (we’ve been spoiled by @blacklockchops , ok 😍), but the chicken roast might genuinely be one of the most flavourful in Manchester. • Croquettes: Cheesy + lamb croquettes = good, and well stuffed. We’ll always take a pinch more flavour but still very much “I would eat that again”. • Cauli cheese: …yeah, we’d skip it next time. xx sorry xx And the desserts? You know we can’t go without the sticky toffee pudding — it’s basically heaven in cake form and somehow gets better every time. The Lotus cheesecake? Slapped. The vegan brownie? Let’s just say we’re still… not going vegan anytime soon 😅 no hate xo Service was lovely — friendly, warm, and gave us plenty of breathing room between courses ( hey, digestion is important). For their second Sunday roast, colour us impressed and ready for more👏 We’ll be back. Because honestly, this roast deserves a return trip.🍽️✨ #SundayRoast #ManchesterFoodies #Lock84 #thereach #RoastSeason #McrFoodScene #SundayFunday #FoodieAdventure #RoastReview #ManchesterRestaurants #InstaFoodies #fypage #thefoodlistmcr #sundayroastlist #sundayroast #wheretoeatinmanchester
