    Returned to Manuel's today, after a few years, as we moved away. Everything is as it has always been: Excellent! We enjoyed the food immensely and seeing Manuel and Roberto. Wishing them the best!

    Important Update:

    Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

    A rather disappointing visit I'm afraid. Hadn't eaten at Manuel's for a long time but had good memories of both food and service - neither of which were lived up to this time. Won't be back any time soon, sadly.

    Lunch from the menu of the day was excellent value, £20 for two courses. The food was Manuel's usual high quality so far ahead of similar priced meals at local restaurants.

    Excellent food, good service. I didn't like the fact that they "forgot" the deposit I had already paid. I had to remind them. For that, I will probably not return.

    Lovely restaurant with friendly attentive staff. The menu has fairly standard Italian pasta dishes plus a good selection of pricier a la carte dishes. They also offer good value set menus every day excluding Saturday evenings. Not somewhere to go if you're in a hurry but to enjoy delicious, well-presented food in a relaxed atmosphere.
