The Old School BBQ Bus
Price: Moderate•Barbecue•4.8(690)In 2016 the Old School BBQ was born, using a freshly imported 1982 Bluebird International American school bus from Arizona as a mobile kitchen.
The bus was converted from a traditional seated bus to a fully functional kitchen, with smokers and griddles to cook low and slow BBQ food. The OSB journey had begun, trading from humble beginnings on a local pub car park in Failsworth.
Our little yellow bus soon became a familiar landmark and we became more and more popular with lunch goers who wanted freshly prepared, appetising food served with a smile. Soon demand meant that we would be more often than not greeting our customers with a "sold out" sign, so it was time to expand.
So here we are, with a covered seated area serving our firm favourites, complemented with a fully licenced bar and WC facilities... did we mention the stage? That's right, we also provide live music from various acts from near and far - we are sure you will find our eatery to be like no other!Hispi
Price: Expensive•Bistro•4.8(2,107)Welcome to Hispi Bistro Didsbury, from the team behind Sticky Walnut, Burnt Truffle, Wreckfish, Pinion and Kala. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Price: Expensive•Cocktail Bar•4.7(18)Behind a hidden door in the Northern Quarter, you’ll find elevated Classics, Bourbon, Champagne and an atmosphere that flows seamlessly from relaxed lounge to unfiltered party. Whether you’re here to sip, dance or simply forget the world,
Ego Death is your invitation to let go...The Ivy Asia, Spinningfields

- MMichaelCentral Kentucky •13 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoCelebrated our son’s 20th birthday dinner. Peter steered us right with every decision around our meal. We shared an 800 porterhouse cooked to perfection. Excellent starters, sides, cocktails and dessert. Incredibly happy with our decision to celebrate. Restaurant was very busy for a Tuesday night but service never slipped. A nice vibe, music is a bit on the high side but it doesn’t take away from the experience.More infoBlacklock ManchesterPrice: Expensive• Steak• Manchester•4.8
