Fondue is amazing, beer selection is also good, will be back
Loved the place, the staff very pleasant and helpful and a good atmosphere. Great choice of beers and cocktails and large portions of good food.
Very relaxed early evening visit with friendly service and a great choice of beers
Service was hit and miss, the food (as in vegetables and meat) was luke warm, one of the cheese fondues was cold as the heater underneath had run out and the waiter hadn’t noticed. It took me to ask for another pan of cheese rather than him attempting to rectify it. The meat fondue was very poor value with hardly any meat-the plate was three quarters full of bread and vegetables. I have had fondue many times and this was the worst I’ve ever had. The decor in the restaurant was lovely.
Great food and huge selection of drinks. The service could be a little faster, since it wasn't really busy.
The cheese fondue was excellent. Loads of stuff for dipping, all very tasty. Would definitely recommend.
The Cheese Fondue was amazing! Will definitely return to Bock
Lovely food, with a excellent choice of beer, with something for everyone. Excellent service from a lovely waitress. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.
Tasty food, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Fun night out. My husbands chocolate-orange cheesecake was to die for. Would definitely go again! Fantastic selection of Belgian lagers too.
Excellent food, friendly service just a little low on atmosphere due to it being early on a quiet Monday night. Hoping that when we go again, on a Friday this time, it will be busier.
This experience did not live up to my expectations. We ordered the chicken fondue for two persons. The Yorkshire pud waffles were burnt, we were given a replacement portion which were soggy and not crisp. The mushrooms were ok, the gravy tasted like bisto no real flavour very bland. The veg was undercooked and the potatoes were new potatoes roasted rather than normal potatoes and were quite dry. The chicken was over cooked and dry and the portion size was barely enough for one let alone two. There was no apology we just did not end up paying for the meal. It’s not worth the trip into Manchester for. We ended up making do with a takeaway. Disappointed doesn’t cut it.
Staff very friendly and attentive, place has a nice ambience. Cocktails lovely. Disappointed with food. Chose Pizza Fondue, which looks great on paper: all the things you'd get on pizza toppings - ham, pepperoni, chorizo, spicy sausage, beef, meatballs, pineapple, jalapenos - to dip into a cheesy fondue. Problem was that four of those things are so spicy it's hard to get to the flavour of the fondue. Also, the large chunks of chorizo were too dense and chewy to swallow. The equally large cubes of cold ham looked unappealing and the strips of dry pizza base were, well, as dry as they sound. The fondue itself had a nice flavour but wasn't quite thick enough to fully coat the food. Avoid the Lemon & Vanilla mousse dessert. Unappealingly presented in a school canteen glass tumbler, it had a strange hard crust like a brulee, just under which was the merest trace of lemon curd followed by four inches of something that had separated and tasted of nothing at all.
Good atmosphere and food. Waiting staff explained they were short staffed and there was a longer wait at times for service. Also, music in restaurant area was a little quiet.
I went back , after my first experience with the cheese fondue , We tried with my daughter chips and bread platters with 2 sauces cheese fondue and aioli mayo and gravy and was delicious also We tried the chocolate fondue it was Amazing !!So yummy , I will Defo get back again to try the roast dinner fondue.
The cheese fondu was great and it had a nice cosy atmosphere. Will definitely be back for a beer or two, especially as it’s so close to work!
Delicious food with great atmosphere & friendly staff. We had the vegan fondue, roasted tofu, veggie balls as big as tennis balls, mushrooms, sprouts, beans, carrots, parsnips, roast potatoes, herb bread & a very tasty vegan cheese fondue. This is this the 3rd time we have been in as many weeks. Great food & great value.
Fantastic food and great atmosphere. Friendly staff and great choice of beer. Will definitely be back to try something else on the menu. The chocolate fondue was gorgeous
The fondue was good and the portion was generous! Service could have been slightly friendlier but the food and beer more than made up for it!
Second time here and just booked another as the food and surroundings are so good
Nice atmosphere, very nice service.chesse fondue very tasty. I Defo come back!!!I will have to get soon as My daughter wants to try the chips with chesse and gravy sauces and I want the chocolate fondue.The cheese one filled us and we couldn't try the sweet chocolate one.... A excuse for another visit soon Maria.:)
My first time at Bock Bier, unfortunately the dining room was abit too cold and we had the roast fondue but some of the vegetables was hard & burnt. The 8 hour beef was stringy & the chicken was slightly over cooked. The staff was lovely & the cafe had a good quirky atmosphere.
Monday Roast was lovely - the beef was so tender and there was plenty of food. Veg was really tasty and the gravy had lots of flavour
Service was very slow, it took ages for them to take a drink order and we were never asked if we wanted more when we ran out. Score is just for the quality of the food.
great selection of beers. A good atmosphere, good service, food looks good (although we didn't eat) and good value too. will definitely come back soon.
I have been here a few time but this visit was awful, the meat was beautiful but the whole meal was cold so asked if we could have it reheated, they told us the would replace it for us, it came and it was terrible, the meat was rough, full of fat and gristle, sad to say we left hungry, I was so disappointed and unfortunately had made me not want to return, the staff were very polite and apologised but still didn't change the experience, absolutely gutted because I loved this place
You will not be disappointed. Fantastic quality and experience ! Highly recommended. Already booking my next visit ! Sunday roast is a must . 10/10
Great look and feel to the rooms topped off with a range of choices but of course we had to pick the steak fondue which was marvellous. Great value between two as well
Visited on a Sunday afternoon. Brilliant fondue Sunday lunch and a few great beers, with friendly service. A decent price point too. Would highly recommend.
Great food, great beer, very nice staff! Cant argue with anything from our visit, even the other diners were a pleasure to be around! Will definitely go again.
Very friendly staff, great food and really good value for money. We got seated quickly, the service was high standard and although the cheese in our fondu disappeared very quickly it was topped up with no questions asked.
Another fantastic experience at Bøck. Really pleasant and attentive staff with a good knowledge of their beers. Outstanding food and beer.Fast becoming my favourite spot in Manchester
Great place for a party with friends if you’re up for a beer. Nice interior and food is also very good. Broad range of different beers – definitely coming back at some point.
Great little place. Fabulous beers moderately priced. The food is good and welll priced and the staff are really friendly. The bar is close to the Town Hall.
Madz is lovely and very attentive the food was great (mmm cheese) and a lovely atmosphere. Great value as well and ideal for a pre theatre dinner.
I thought that this restaurant was quite unique as always the staff were great and very helpful and the food was different but very nice
The atmosphere, food and service were all excellent! We’ll definitely be going back again soon! I also think the food is reasonably priced as you get a generous amount and the quality is very high!
Brilliant European cafe bar. Amazing fondue, we had cheese and chocolate!! We went for the veggie option for our main and there was plenty of choice and more than enough to share between two. Definitely worth a visit.
Bock is amazing, the beer, food and atmosphere are brilliant. The staff are always friendly and happy to answer any questions you have about the beer or food. By far my favourite bar in Manchester.
We enjoyed excellent service and a delicious cheese fondue with steak vegetables and sausage. Lovely atmosphere and good draught beer made for a relaxing afternoon. Thank you!
There were 5 diners. We had 3 Sunday roast fondues and 2 chocolate ones. There were lots of food which couldn’t be finished. The food was nice. Service was ok. Good value for money.
