The Stolen Lamb

Greece might not be in the rudest economic health at the moment – unlike, for example, Wilmslow – but with a culinary history dating back thousands of years, you can be sure that one thing will always survive: the food. This is the land of olive oil and lemon juice, of olives and feta cheese, of meats roasted, skewered and kebabed, whether lamb, chicken or pork. The Stolen Lamb on Grove Street is just a short walk from Wilmslow station – and thus easily reached from central Manchester – and they offer up all the classics of Greek cuisine, with a superb range of dishes designed to delight the whole family.

At The Stolen Lamb on Grove Street in Wilmslow, it pays to start your meal with a few starters. Call them traditionalists, stick-in-the-muds if you will, but with a mezze menu like theirs, you’d do the same. The breads and dips are of course there, as are the Greek favourites of halloumi, dolmades and calamari, as well as a selection of traditional sausages. The mains that follow are not to be missed – whether souvlaki skewers or oven-roasted meats, and of course, a lamb dish is the speciality here: so grab yourself a kleftiko. Manchester is a great place to eat Greek food, and few places are better than The Stolen Lamb, so book a table now.
